"Alright then." said Arnie to Emlech. "I'll call someone to assist you in finding her." He turned back to his computer, and after a few voice commands and a message, #7 Slig hurried into the room.
"Yes sir?" he said, before noticing Emlech. "Oh, good day." he said to the Vykker.
"#7, this Vykker here is Emlech. You might remember him from a few years ago - we had an agreement about a couple of his Mudokons working here for a time." said Arnie. "He wants one of them - Anni - back."
"I see." said #7 Slig, listening.
"You're going to help him find her and assist Emlech in retrieving her. Have you seen her on the screens by chance?... Oh, hold on..." A sound came from the computer, showing a message coming from SU-01. Arnie read the message, then turned back to the others.
"Well, that makes things easier. SU says here that he saw Anni just now, near the railway crossing. I think that's where her garden is located..." Arnie had a look at the message again. "It might be a bit more difficult to get there though: SU says that he reactivated the Stockyards security system. He's just outside the Office though, so he could tell you more of the situation."
-------------------------------------
"Yep, that was my big crime." said Rick to Slen, shrugging. "Arnie seems to be in a temper these days, so maybe you don't want to see him at all. Speaking to Otto - his assistant might be a better idea. I guess he's around the Executive Office somewhere. Hey, and could you or someone else get me some water and a Scrab Leg from the Cafeteria? The servants of my resort are having a day off, so I don't get the usual feast on silver plates... you know how it is." he said, returning to his sarcastic tone.
