Yet another Vykker walked in. Praetyre was both pleased and displeased to see another. Pleased because it meant there would be some people to talk to besides Slap and Praetyre very busy Glukkon bosses that wouldn't treat him like the Anti Odd. He was even more pleased that he had seen little to no Fuzzles. He was displeased because he was in the middle of an operation, and the Vykker was interrupting him just after a vital moment.
He ordered his suit to release its toolbox, and it complied. He picked out a device known as the Eyestitch Mini. It was, as its name suggested, normally used for stitching Mudokon eyelids, but in this case, he would use it to quickly stitch up the wound. He put it near the hole like a screwdriver, and it skillfully joined it up in only one minute. He then walked towards the storage area. But before he went, he spoke to the older Vykker.
"My elderly friend, and presumed fellow employee. Both of us here possess Masters degrees in Surgery. I am stitching this Mudokon up only temporarily, so that I can find the charger port for the pacemaker generator. This Mudokon needs a pacemaker, apparently, and he needs it now. The reason I'm doing this myself and leaving the Mudokon for a bit is because Slap, the resident Intern here, has been sent by me to tell the boss about the weird things going on. Half naked Sligs crawling out of air ducts, Mudokons bursting doors and bandages, grenades exploding, and psychotic Sligs nearly murdering me. So, here I go, and here I go."
He went through to the storage area, turning on the light as he went. He gazed at the many contraptions, boxes, and even specimens on the walls, until finding a white box marked "Pacemakers". He opened the box, rummaging through it, until finding that there were no more generators, only a broken off charger port. He took it, going back through to the lab. He then picked up the pacemaker generator, desperately trying to unite the two. It was uncertain that he would do it, and it would take several minutes to do in any case. And after that, he needed to restart the mechanism with a jolt of power, and the jolt requires would cause the whole room to black out, including the beds. He then spoke;
"Sir, is he still alive? I was gone for several minutes there. And to you, my elderly colleague, do you know of any nearby, ready, and large power supplies? It may be necessary to save this Mudokons life."
