IC!:
Hembar watched and listened in silence as people in the room argued with the robot, then a slig turned up who, by the sounds of it, was head of security.
Heh, he doesn't look like much, she thought. Then the robot apologised and left, being shortly followed by the first vykker who had entered before.
Although she didn't show anything outside, her mind was racing - with two less individuals in the room, her chances of getting out of the situation safely were much higher. Especially with the robot gone, that had been the biggest threat. Now really the only significant threat was the slig, and he didn't seem too clued up so she could probably get past him before he knew what was going on. The other mudokon (
Ark) looked like he could handle himself now, but there was no way she'd be able to talk
her way out of the situation.
But her spiritual senses warned her of another mechanical entity outside the room. She could probably get past the slig no trouble, but a robot would most likely be immune to any illusions she could throw at it, and it would be better able to hit a moving target.
What about the lift, though? she thought. She wasn't sure exactly where it went, but it was an exit, and if she could get down there fast enough she could hide herself before anyone caught up.
Making the decision while everyone seemed distracted, explaining themselves to the slig, she focussed her energy on the elevator, trying to show as little movement as possible. Then, preparing herself to leap, she slowly turned to face the lift.
Suddenly changing her speed, she rapidly pointed her hand towards the lift, resulting in the switch activating itself and sending the elevator downwards. Not waiting a second, she gave a huge, mystically powered leap and landed rolling onto the descending platform.
OOC: I guess it's up to the owner's of the other characters in the room to decide on their reaction speed to her actions

Walking around the packaging area,
Ralph looked annoyed. How was he supposed to do his work properly when his team consisted of himself? He didn't know where the other two had got to, or care for that matter, his concern was only that they weren't
here.
He found himself looking down from the second level of the production and packaging level, seeing the group (
Anni,
Skullik,
Jim, and
Gewehr) there.
Well, it looks like some teams managed to get together he thought. Though it didn't really look like much work was going on. Of course, he couldn't hear anything from up here, but he could see the big creature and one mudokon standing near another one who seemed to be crouching on the floor, then there was the slig who appeared to be polishing some of the machinery.
Wait a minute, he thought. Those mudokons looked familiar. Of course! The one standing up was the one who had been shot the other day, and the other was the one who he had helped carry her to the lab, and who he had later been incredibly rude to in that very area the day before. He didn't know what came over him at times like that - it was like having mood swings, he could be friendly and helpful sometimes and other times he could be as anti-social as an alpha scrab!
He briefly considered apologising, but discarded the idea - for one thing those mudokons were too far away to have anything except maybe a shouting match with, and also apologising would imply that he was
wrong, which he just didn't believe to be true.
Turning around and sighing, he decided to just do nothing for the time being. It wasn't like the production area looked very, well, productive yet anyway.
OOC: By the way, Splat, I don't think you answered last time I asked, did you get my PM with the character history for Ralph that you asked for?
Speaking of history, I was just thinking, didn't a portion of Work at Rupture Farms history get wiped when the forums were hacked? I remember at one point we had to just try to remember what had happened over the gap so we could get things moving again.
