Arnie and Otto were standing behind the up-ended table, unaware of the things going on out there. But they could hear gunshots, screaming and shouting. A female Mudokon (Scri) came over and apologized for some trouble she might have caused - they haven't heard much of it. "Never mind that now, unless it has to do something with those animals running loose." Then a Mudokon (Doe) approached them.
"Now listen..." said Arnie to the Mudokon, trying to catch a glimpse of anything that's going outside. "I know that a lot of people want a job here, but we're kinda having a situation..."
He was interrupted by the Mudokon, who tackled both of them to the ground for some reason. Arnie was about to ask why were they lying on the ground, when he saw some needles in the wall.
Otto was getting out of temper. "What the hell is going on? Shoot the Wildlife, not us!"
---------------------------------------
"Criminal or not, get away from the animal!" shouted #7 Slig to #10, but then a smoke grenade went off in the area. "Amazing timing, whoever that was!" he shouted into the smoke, coughing, trying the back away into the Cafeteria.
RG was not bottered by the smoke. He didn't have lungs and he had heat sensors. He saw red shapes moving about, and was about to get a good sight of the animal when he heard someone trying to reach him on radio. He followed #7 Slig, and before the Slig could say anything, RG locked the Cafeteria door and listened to the caller.
"You just locked them out with that creature!" said #7 Slig, unbelieving.
"No matter." said RG, trying to recognise the voice calling for him. After analyzing the frequency, he came to the conclusion: it could be noone other than the Slig who smashed his face yesterday and stole his rifle. "I hear you, Slig organic. I will get to the Armory as soon as possible. RG-49 out."
#7 Slig looked at him. "What was that all about? Who was it?"
"The Slig organic Gappiqu. He locked himself in the Armory. He mentioned that he has plans to improve the factory's security system."
"Strange. So, what are you going to do?"
"Find him, retrieve my gun and splinter his tentacles. Oh, I forgot to mention the latter to him. So stupid of me." said RG.
"OK, you're creeping me out now, you know?" said #7 Slig, backing away a bit.
