ooc: When you say Ark started to lean on Krik, Ark, I don't know if you meant physically lean on him, or it in some... emotional way, or if it was a typo
I shall assume the former, but if I'm wrong, I'll edit it.
IC:
Krik closed is ears to the mudokons consideration of his explanation; he had little interest in its opinion (and when I say 'little' I mean none). He sharply brushed away the mudokon when it leant a little closer than it had any right to (he was still holding a rather ugly knife).
Then it told him where it expected Dionysia to be, gesturing towards the laboratory. Hmm, well he would have searched their himself before long, so the whole thing with the mud had been a waste of time.
"Alright, thank you for your help," He said disinterestedly. "You can get back to your post, now." And ignoring whatever the mudokon did next, he hurried around the corner.

"I'm not a mudokon," Dionysia called after the big-bro as it walked away, "I'm not the same as them. I'm me."
It walked away, leaving her alone in the lab. She sat on a table, staring angrily at a wall, the conversation leaving her feel sullen and, deep inside, a little bit confused. But she trusted Krik, and the others; who else could she trust?
"Dionysia?"
She looked up; a very familiar vykker was standing in the doorway and for one odd moment, she wondered if it was her imagination, but she brushed off that feeling and stood up, "Krik! I didn't know you'd be here today!"
"I wasn't going to be," He replied stiffly, "But one of the tests I performed last time came up with some very strange results which we need to verify."
Dionysia's heart sunk a little to know he was only here for tests which she would have to endure, but then she was glad he was here at all, and smirked slightly to think of that big bro. "There's that storeroom upstairs..."
"That'll do fine," Krik replied and Dionysia followed him out of the lab.

"Surely he would not have turned on the systems where the mudokons were working?" Emlech asked, mildly surprised. With a nod to the boss, he walked over to the door and opened it. To his surprise, he came face to face with a very advanced looking Snoozer which was filling up the corridor. He had been expecting a slig, and took a step back, but quickly regained his composure, "I'm looking for a female mudokon called Anni," He said, "Apparently you know where she is to be found."
He was really hoping this robot could talk, or else he was going to look like a complete twit.
ooc: Ark, if you want to follow Krik around the corner, there's your chance, but don't expect Dionysia to respond kindly to his 'protection'.
Also, Jimmy, you only have to tell Emlech (and #7) where to find her; I'm not expecting a guide or anything, now SU's finally got a chance to speak to Arnie
