ooc: Zerox, Dionysia's waiting for Silph.

IC:
After a while, Anni noticed the colours of her handscars fading. Why was she so avidly keeping them secret? Because, she guessed, they changed size when she got angry; they were a sign of the part of herself that she wanted kept secret, like Nova.
Thinking of Nova then made her feel bad, so she forced herself to remember her conversation with Hembar, that mudokons heard about this place and were given hope; it was a very pleasing thought. But she guessed that that was why the Cartel had tried to shut it down.
Odd, why was every happy thought she had paired with a bad one? Life was so much better before Stivik came. Even those days in the lab before this place, with all those vykkers trying to poke needles into her all the time, was better. She gave a small smile; at least they were fun to annoy, and the sligs in the kitchen had been really nice.

The handscars had faded to nothing but pale outlines now which no one would see without looking closely, so she went to the door and opened it cautiously, in case Hembar was still around.
The corridor beyond was deserted however, so she headed off towards the production lines.

"Um," Said Jim, and then slid off of the table and after Dek, whence he was pointed towards the machine he was supposed to be pushing into the main lab. Odd, he was supposed to be sick here!
He rolled his eyes to himself and got behind the machine to start pushing. Stupid vykkers. Some doctor he was. "You just want this in the main lab room, right?" He asked, making his voice sound ever so slightly hoarser than it really was.

Krik went hunting around the cupboards in the lab until he found a needle and the necessary thread, and an injection to make the intern's face go numb. "Alright," He said to it, "If you could just get up on the table, we can start now and be done in 20 minutes."
