OOC: I was waiting for Dripik, but I guess I don't actually have to.

IC:

Watching the commotion below as SU-01 seemingly went berserk, Hembar rolled her eyes. That was one of the oldest tricks in the book, there was no way she was falling for that. But suddenly she sensed something, another creature on the pipes with her.

Reacting almost before it actually happened, she hopped backwards as a meech (Crunchy) landed where she had been crouched down a moment before. Another one? They were supposed to be extinct because of Rupture Farms and yet she'd seen two in this very location!

Unfortunately, the jump away from her previous position had thrown her off balance, and although she tried to regain it and stay upright, standing on circular pipes isn't the easiest thing ever and she found herself slipping off the side. Desperately reaching out, she tried to grab onto another pipe to pull herself up, but her hands missed and she was sent plummeting head-first towards the ground.

Luckily, however, she managed to hook her foot on another pipe before she fell too far, but this was not good at all - not only would all this have attracted attention from the robots (who she was pretty sure were just faking their malfunctions), but she was now in a vulnerable position too!
