"I...don't know where it is exactly..." said Roy when #7 Slig told him to go to the R+R. "Actually, I can show you the way there, and get to the Lines at the same time. Come on." he said, beckoning Roy to follow him.
After a few seconds, they reached the door leading to the Grinding Area. "Listen.." said #7 Slig "If you enter this door, the stairs on your right will take you to the first floor. There you turn left, go past the Conference Room and the Executive Lifts, until you see a door in the corner in front of you. It's between the toilets and the stairs leading to the second floor. That's the R+R. Can't miss it."
#7 Slig cast a glance at the door of the Production Lines. "I'll be there soon as well, I'll just have a look at the Lines." With that, he left towards the door.

"...I mean, I can make announcements whenever I like. That Mudokon, Rick could do it as well when the fire stopped, and he's not even close to my position on the ladder here..."
"Still, he did more for the factory's gain in one day than you have ever done."
"What do you mean? I've done a lot of things here."
"Name one of them."
The two Glukkons emerged from the shaft of the Executive Lifts. The platform stopped; Arnie and Otto came outside.
"I helped you out once, when you were locked up in your office! Remember that?" said Otto, after some thinking.
"I was handling factory business there, while you were taking care of worker complaints." retorted Arnie.
"You told me to do it!"
"Do you think you deserve more responsibility around here?"
Otto did not answer. He realized that they are not going anywhere with this. In the meantime, Arnie felt a bit better after venting his anger at his assistant. He vaguely remembered that he was not acting like this before - at least, not withot purpose. But still, he felt good about it.
The Glukkons walked towards the Executive premises in silence.
