OOC: Role playing just isn't the same without you Author.
Author has given me permission to move Cora around a little bit. I AM GOD!
IC: James was hoping to sneak out of the Mess Hall and catch some sleep but as Gorrck made himself present those dreams evaporated. The Slig said,
"Back to your station #55431. Or do you prefer James? Anyway, this camp doesn't guard itself... Actually, cooping the men up in the tower could be bad for morale, so you can take sentry duty for now. Report back to me in the tower in 1 hour."
James just eyed his superior for a moment hoping that Gorrck could see past the visor and into Jame's eyes.. into his soul.. and feel the extreme hatred.
"Call me James."
The Slig may of noticed something but didn't say anything. Instead Gorrck left the Mess Hall and was off to the tower.
James left the Mess Hall and decided to patrol around the gates. Who knows.. he just might find something to shoot.

Jim just sat there shearing the Meep when the young Mudokon(Kole) that the Vykker had been talking to walked over and began to say a multitude of instructions regarding the Meep. Jim just nodded as the Mudokon walked off. Jim didn't like that the Mudokon had little faith in his abilities but appreciated the thought. The guy was just trying to help. Jim finished shearing and upon finding a empty box in the kitchen dumped the fleece into it. Jim walked down a gray hall exiting out the kitchen taking the fleece into the storage room. The storage room was full of sealed boxes. Jim placed the box with the fleece alongside a stack of boxes that appeared to contain napkins. Then Jim returned to the kitchen. The older Mudokon was just finishing her breakfast. She washed off her dishes then came over saying,
"Hey, we should move the Meep into the other room. It would be pretty hard to do butchering on a floor. You will pick up one end, and I will pick up the other, all right?"
Jim nodded and with the assistance of the elderly Mudokon lifted the Meep from the floor. After making sure he and his helper had a good hand on the dead creature they began to carry it to the butchering room. As they traveled down the gray hallway Jim's thoughts wondered. Jim was thinking about the old days at the brewery when they arrived at the door. Jim balanced his side of the Meep carefully with one hand while he opened the door. As it opened he quickly moved his hand back to gripping the Meep and carried it into the room. Jim with the help of the elderly woman placed the Meep on a cutting table. Jim panted trying to regain his breath. That meep was heavier then it looked.
The old woman broke the silence,
"Anyway, my name is Cora. The other Mudokon you saw with the ice pack is named Kole. He is kind of like my son, but he is rather... unsteady. He knows what he is doing, but he is very anal, and will stick to what he thinks. And let's just say he beats himself up and isn't very kind to Sligs."
Jim let what Cora said sink in. Cora seemed to be a very affectionate Mudokon. Considering Kole her son. Jim couldn't help but to be secretly jealous of the relationship.. he wished he had someone who cared for him like that. Though this Kole probably needed her support. He sounded like quite the troubled case. He had probably gone through a lot. Jim could see the concern on Cora's face. Hoping to abate her worries Jim said, "My name is Jim, Miss Cora. I know I barely know either of you but I hope to become a good friend. Not just yours but Kole's friend as well." Then Jim put on a big smile and said, "Lets get to cutting this Meep shall we?"

Chris slowly made his way to the tower. Wondering why he was being called away from work. He hadn't made it far at all when the announcement went off again,
"Will the chief medical officer of this facility please report to the Executive Office for a private conference? I repeat, will the chief medical officer of this facility please report to the Executive Office for a private conference as soon as possible?"
Chris groaned, "Can that stupid Slig wait five seconds? Geesh." Chris entered the tower and began climbing the stairs. At the top Chris came across both Vernel and dreamy Matias. Matias looked busy with his papers. Chris wasn't even sure if Matias even noticed that he had just entered the room. Somehow Matias's seemingly indifference for everything but his work was making Chris hot. Chris just stared at Matias with lustful eyes...
