[Slaveless]

Kix shrugged as she thought about what Dean and Anni had suggested. She thought that maybe that with the current sitution, they should at least try to look for natural water in the wild. Maybe that a search party for water was all that they could do.

Before she could say anything, a huge rumble started to happen. Something that she hadn't heard for some time. The Boilers were on. She looked at Anni and Jim try to fill the buckets, as she thought about how she could help. Kic knew where some were, but she figured that they would get distracted by then. She said rather cooly, "Nah, but I think we could just try to repeatily refill the buckets. I don't know where any of the buckets are in a minute's distance away. But there are some corriders that have buckets, along with the grinders having them. So which place should we go to first?"

Noah and company watched attentively at the indicators above them, while having a bit of butterflies in their stomach. They had not yet gotten prepared to feeling the new rumble of the factory. They had always been prepared for the current rumble, but never a new one.

Their sudden anxious feeling discinapated when the indicators brightened up. They all read on the indicators:

"Following functionings current conditions:

Conveyer Belts: Working
Boilers: Working
Saws: Connected to Electrical Inputs
Packaging Machinery: Functioning
Slog Huts: Working
Remote Controls for Snoozers: Functioning
Power: On
Heat: On
Pumps: Processing
Levers: Active

All activities in grinders are functioning as planned."

No one had to tell all eight to them to do their job. They all fixed their knees in proper position as they all waited for the meat from the meat storage systems. They listened for their cue, and heard the doors from the meat storage area clunk open. They heaved their muscles to pull the lever to themself to pull the blocking obstacles. As soon the labor began.

Gappiqu looked at the Paramite charging toward him. From the looks of the Paramite, it looked like someone had just slapped his mother. Gappiqu froze in fear and started to think about the lesson that Furz had taught him, and remembered, "If you have your gun and someone is out to get you, shoot them down. But if you don't have your gun, damn it man, sprint as fast you can!!!"

Gappiqu screeched at the top of his lungs, and brought his Steef legs to sprint behind him. He let his legs to fight the weight of his pants to run in a very fast pace. So fast that he was getting tired in a short amount of time. He looked behind him and the Paramite was still on his tail. He paniced while the Paramite screeched in hunger. If only he could throw a bomb some time soon....

Suddenly, in his pure panic, he got an idea. He quickly jumped instead of running so he could slap one of his pockets open. The pocket opened and let an Order bomb fall on the floor. When he landed on the floor, the bomb landed head first and activated. Gappiqu ran off and slid down to the ground to see the precious moment. The Paramite ran viciousily toward Gappiqu, while not noticing the bomb. It was ticking more and more until when the Paramite was just above it, and the bomb blew into nothing. Rocks and dust flew around the area, with fire all around that place. Gappiqu saw the body parts fling all over the place, but still trying relaxing over the whole thing.

He gasped for breath while he tried to think the whole thing over. Gappiqu smiled in pride, but then was horribly shocked by feeling the sudden new rumble of the Boilers working. He knew he had something to do. Fix that dent, or the Boiler destorys itself from the inside. But then Gappiqu looked at the lift worringly. He knew that he had to apoligize to her before she never forgives her. But then he looked at the bright light with the Boiler that was damaged and thought about how his job controlled his life. Then he remembered that Dionysia had even recreated his life.

Gappiqu looked at both situtions, and thought long and hard about this. That robot was probably there to arrest him, but maybe he could prove to that droid that he could resemble a big part of Rupture Farms. He lunged himself upward, and started to look at the floor for some parts on the ground.
