Arnie and Otto were led inside the Cafeteria, followed by Rick. They saw Dionysia locking the door, which gave the room an unusual atmosphere - the door has always been open.
Dionysia asked Arnie wether she could talk to the Mudokons in the Cafeteria. "We have time now, so have a go at it if you like."
Otto snorted. "That could also work as a cover story."
Arnie looked at him. "What do you mean?"
"What if she was the one who let those creatures loose? Just to cause some trouble, so she can report it to the Magog Cartel. And now, she wants to keep herself under cover and act innocent. If you ask me, there's some sense in that." he said, then shot a sneer at Dionysia. "No offense, though." he said to her.
"You can't prove that, Otto." said Arnie, thought he was a bit uncertain now. He decided to wait for Dionysia's point of view on the matter.

#7 Slig saw that #10 pointed his gun at a Scrab which was halfway between the Cafeteria and them. Luckily, the Scrab decided to run past them instead of the Glukkons and the others with them. Before #7 could react, the creature rushed past them and disappeared in the opposite direction.
"Don't ask permission next time, fire at will when those animals are in sight." he said to #10, then turned to Slash, who flew closer and changed the club to a shotgun. "Well, first of all, we should check our weapons. An empty ammo clip is bad news during a fight. As for our strategy, we should check the rooms one by one on every floor, and close their doors so the creatures won't go in there anymore. With this method, we can corner them and eliminate the threat. How does that sound?" he asked the Sligs.
Meanwhile, he checked his shotgun and saw that he was rather short on ammunition. He remembered Rick's so-called workshop from earlier. There were some cartridges in that room. "Listen, if you're short on ammo, you can load up in a room nearby. I can lead you there, I need a handful of cartridges anyway."
