OOC: Those valves at the pipes are already turned off, Rick did it a few pages ago.

He went to the lift he and Gappiqu made the previous day and pulled himself up to the pipes. He got off the lift and stepped on a pipe. "Gappiqu did a good job up here." he thought, looking around while walking along the pipe carefully. He reached a couple of valves and turned them off, one by one. He turned back to get to the other side. He noticed a few unfinished pipes along the way. "This is what caused that leak." he thought. He turned off the remaining valves and went back to the lift. He descended carefully and landed on the floor of the Grinding Station.

And what's this dent with the Boilers? I can't remember anyone doing damage to them.
-----------------------------------
Rick was looking at the boilers, waiting for any possible signs of malfunction. But none came... He was glad that at least this part of the factory is working right. Then he heard a blast from behind. He staggered a bit, looking around wildly. "Don't blow up, don't blow up..." he thought, watching the boilers. But they were still rumbling peacefully.
He turned around to face the door and saw dust kicked up in the corridor. "Oh, right. The Paramites. It might have been RG who caused that explosion." he told himself, calming down. He went outside, turned around the corner and saw the people fighting with the wildlife creatures.
RG-49 was staggering a bit, then regained a steady position. "Foolish Slig organic!" he said to Gappiqu. "Causing explosions on this level is rather hazardous because of the boilers. I hear that they have been reactivated."
The Paramites seemed to be thinking the same way. One of them looked around apprehensively, then spoke to Somi in Paramite language. "It's that rumbling again! I haven't heard it for a few days, but it seems those creatures started it again, whatever it is." And with that, he took a few cautious steps backwards. "They already killed two of us, and that noise might mean more trouble!"

Arnie was eating his meal when he heard a noise which caused him some relief - the boilers were active again. Then he heard the gurgle which came from the water pipes and saw Anni hurrying towards the sink.
Otto saw Arnie's expression and spoke. "See? Everything's just fine. But you have this habit of worrying your brain out over nothing."
Arnie raised an eyebrow. "Over nothing?! The Boilers shut down for a few days is 'nothing' to you, I presume?"
