Isaac was running through the hallways, calling his brothers' names, until a heap of running Mudokons came in front of him. Mark, Noah, Matthew, and Sam were all in front of him looking confused. Isaac gleefully said to them hastily before they said anything, "I found a Mudokon here! We can go to work now!"
Noah sneered and grumbled with Mark, "A Mudokon? What, has the whole factory killed each other and fell into meat saws?"
Issac looked down and replied sighingly, "Yeah, only one. I don't understand. Why isn't the factory working? But anyway, follow me!"
The four shrugged and went off after Isaac, hoping there were more than just one Mudokon around here.

Slap waited by Arnie's door, anticipating he will shout something. But he was wrong. The door didn't open itself. Nor did anyone call. He nervousily tried to think of a reason, to only to think that he went to the cafeteria. Slap sighed about the whole thing, worrying that it would be too late for the Mudokon. He decided that this kind of thing such wait until further notice. So Slap quietly sneaked himself over to the Labortory, puzzled on how he could deal with future events.
Once he got to the Labortory, he was to be surprised by the terminal shut down. He didn't know what was happening. One moment it was under control, the next the Labortory was under a lockdown. He couldn't find a way in, as he tried to open the door from all sides. He huffed, as he was not physically fit as he would have hoped, and was unable to open the door. He gave up and tried to figure out what to do. Slap knew that whatever was happening was important. Maybe something with Gappiqu was happening in there that he had no idea about. He breathed in softily and relaxed. All he could do was to hope that whatever was happening was positive.
He hastily decided that he might as well find Arnie. Arnie was the only reason he was out. Rushing himself to the Cafeteria, he hoped his ideas for improvement were enough.
He ran to the nearest stair way, and hubbled himself down the stairs. He was breathing heavily, being that he wasn't use to this kind of running. Hastily, he found himself going through hallways, passing a group of Scrubs running the oppisite direction as him, to find himself going to the Cafeteria doors. At last, he broke into the cool cafeteria, to be brushed by a rush of meat oders. he saw quite a few members of the factory in the cafeteria, discussing with their peers, while Mudokons were collecting buckets and hoses for some project. That was not part of his attention. At last, he spotted Arnie and Otto discussing with each other. He sighed in relief, and politily made his way to the table in a gentlemen and soft manner. He sat down at an empty chair. He hastily wrote down, "Good morning Glukkon excutives, I hope you are all in good health. But I have to bring rather sad news. There has been much trouble at the Labortory, that I am becoming concern of the troubles in the factory. Shall I explain?"

Kix brought herself to Anni, bringing her own bucket and the hose. She dropped her own bucket on the floor, while aiming the hose at her bucket. She pulled the lever to her body, expecting water to go off. But only a few drips got out. She didn't understand, as she was puzzled. Kix looked at the whole hose itself. It wasn't bent somewhere, so the water wasn't clogged up. It was simply not working, like the grinders.
Like grinders! Kix was both impressed with herself and angry with the people fixing the grinders. The Boilers weren't on so the water wasn't moving along in the pipes like it should. But that also meant that she couldn't accomplish anything at the moment. She knew that would make Anni upset, but she couldn't bear making an excuse for her. It just wasn't right. She turned around to face Anni and said angryily, "That hose isn't working since the Boilers have been turned off. If you want to get the garden sprouting up, we need to help whoever is working on the Grinders."
