OOC: What is this?! Nearly half a page of progress in 3 days!... I guess forgot about how lenghty some of you can get when it comes to W@RF posts. Serves me right.

"Patched you up?" asked Rick, astonished, momentarily forgetting about his own situation. "That's kinda unusual from a BigBro, and I've seen some of them. Then again, a BigBro wouldn't stop at breaking your limbs... and maybe I should shut up now." said Rick, realising that he started to become inconsiderate.
For a few seconds he listened to the heated argument coming from the next room, then he remembered that Slen asked him a question. "Oh, me? Well, I guess there's a moment in everyone's career when they are late on the day when their boss is not in the right mood. Apparently, nowadays it is considered the worst of all sins, being late... Next time I might as well try hitting Arnie over the head with a Cafeteria tray - just to see how much more severe the punishment would be..."
----------------------------------------
Arnie listened to Emlech as the Vykker entered the Office and explained the situation. "Not much trouble on my behalf. As far as I can remember, she was assigned to..." he said as he walked over to his computer and had a look at some of his files. "...Group 1, Production Lines."
He looked back at Emlech. "Does she already know that she's about to leave? Should I send someone for her, or do you want to seek her out personally?"
The more they talked about Anni, the more Arnie remembered. "Ah, I think I now know who's the Mudokon you want. Pink skin, relatively young, isn't she? I can recall assigning her to a... secondary task of sorts." Arnie was a bit reluctant to complain about Anni, but she seemed rather important to Emlech, and besides, she was in his possession in the end.
"Well, the reason for that was that she has a real knack for getting into trouble. Annoying the Sligs, mostly. I can't deny that there were... scuffles." 'That's one way to put it', he thought. "In short, she slowed down some of my workers, and she was working less efficiently herself in return. Then came the idea of starting a sub-facility inside the factory to produce spice for the products we make - she was rather ecstatic to be working there. I guess it's the nature-mentality of their kind... They can do magic with plants."
Arnie, of course, exaggerated a bit. He actually had no idea on how the 'garden' was doing and whether Anni was attending to it or not.
