ooc: Alright, since Venks has failed to reappear, I'm gonna assume Gewehr has left the production lines, to go and smoke, or gone off in a huff, or to find someone to complain to, or whatever; if'n'when Venks returns he can choose.
Gonna get on with moving Anni and Jim; I'll try and tie it in with your post, Chronicler.


IC:
Jim had started working at the machinery, quiet and slightly nervous, not quite recovered from his previous panic attack and also aware that the slig could return any time (with reinforcements, even), despite Anni's assurances that she would make sure the slig left him alone with the big... thing. In this situation, he felt it best to just get on with it and hope for the best. He glanced up and noticed said big creature examining him. He gave him a somewhat spineless, unconvincing grin and turned hastily back to pulling the levers.

Meanwhile, Anni was half-heartedly mopping the floor, though not gaining much entertainment from it, so she was easily distracted by a small noise; she looked around and noticed Skullik's enormous pack on the floor nearby. While it was likely that said noise was made by the pipes under the floor, none-the-less, she was willing for her attention to be diverted.
She put her mop in its bucket and let the handle lean against a barrel. As she approached the pack, her mop slid off of it's prop and banged gently on the ground. She ignored this, however, and reached for the flap of Skullik's pack.

Grace was a little surprised to be given so much authority so soon, but said nothing on that. He also ignored the jab about his appearance. He had no interest in how he looked.

He expected he would have to work under the command of a superior when such an individual presented himself, but in the meantime, he thought he ought to get on with it. "Grace, sir," He said smartly at the request for a name (without faintest hint in his expression or tone that this might be at all funny) - now he was employed, his attitude to his boss was somewhat less casual. "I'll have a look around sir," He added and paused to make sure there was nothing else to be told before he left.
