Dionysia crept into the room, quickly slipping into the shadows, with a grim smirk at the slig's salute. Keeping low and moving quietly, she searched for the mud, until a gunshot made her jump. She half spun around before an unfamiliar voice spoke, "Yeah, uh...I'm sure you wasting meat AND ammo, both of which cost money, isn't gonna make the boss too happy. Besides, what's the big deal with this Mudokon anyway? Have you even tried talking to it rather than just going on a gun rampage?"
She swore under her breath; just her luck to get stuck with a thicker-than-average slig. She guessed she was on her own in this then, unless the slog found anything on its own.

"Um," Said Jim. "Is an operation really necessary? Last place I worked one of the sligs got stuck in a fire and they just stuck a mask on his face for a while. I think. Um."
The joke had not made him less nervous. It wasn't that he didn't trust Dek as a doctor; it was more that he didn't trust him as a vykker.

Krik smirked at the intern and turned towards the boss, "Good news Arnie, there's an intern here in need of work. I'm sure it'll make itself useful in the lab or something under your vykkers."
He stood back to watch the fireworks.

"Uh, maybe you're right," Anni said quickly and rose to her feet. She was about to move her other hand to cover the white hand-scar before realising that would show off the black one, and so just held both her hands against her sides palm-out. "There's a bathroom just outside; I can go and wash it in there."
She hurried out of the R+R and into the bathroom next door, locking herself in in case Hembar was following, and turned on the tap so the noise would be heard outside.
ooc: Sorry some of that was a bit short. Not much to say.
