Jim was still slumped against the wall when a mudokon walked past. He glanced up half-heartedly, and then suddenly recognised who it was and lifted his head. The guy was walking away from him, evidently having not even noticed he was there, but Jim recognised him.
It was the native from yesterday! He'd changed his clothes and somehow gotten rid of what Jim had assumed to be tattoos, but it was definately the same guy, heading towards the R+R.
He followed after him quietly until he disappeared into the room. The two sligs were still in there so Jim hid himself in the shadows outside and waited.

Dionysia answered #7 as soon as the idiot slig finished. It gave her a moment to think up a way of explaining events without making Gore look stupid. "I met Gore yesterday when I was with Gappiqu. He was a bit over-zealous about doing his job, but at least he was doing the right thing."
She was about to make a scything comment about CD when a mud came in and asked her where the boss was. "Do I look like a map? Go bother someone else."

Somi answered Alexander, "We're in the warehouse the sligs use for storing the food they make. Most of the stuff in this corner is pretty old so they don't come down here much. I just want to get something to eat and I don't feel up to hunting."
Perhaps that was because she had just 'befriended' a fuzzle: one of the creatures she would usually be trying to eat. Or maybe she was just getting lazy. Who knew.

Anni was barely aware as she was laid on the table, then (I assume this is what the life-support system consists of; let me know if I'm wrong) Arthur lowered a breathing mask onto her face andshe was on a table, a mask on her face, tied down to stop her thrashing and trying to get away. A few metres away was another mudokon, female, older... Nova...
She was screaming. They both were. Vykkers moved around them andshe started shrieking, thrashing both her arms and squirming towards the edge of the table Arthur had put her on.
