Ralph looked sharply at
Anni at the vykker's words,
"I can do what I like; I created you!"
They had created her too? It all made sense - the skin discolouration for one thing, but he remembered when he and
Jim had taken her to the vykkers when she was shot, they made some discovery about her that they refused to let on to the mudokons there at the time. Something about her biology had been incredibly important to them, and apparently it seemed it was very important to this vykker too. But there was no way he was going to let any vykker get what it wanted that easy.
As the other two mudokons ran off, Ralph was swiftly in pursuit. Due in no small part to his "enhancements," he quickly caught up and spoke to them,
"We should go into the ruined part of the factory - it'll be harder for them to catch us in there! Unless you have any better ideas?"

I always thought there was more than one lift in the main shaft, but never mind I guess
|
Shush I knew that I was just testing!!!!!!!
IC:
After the lift arrived in the basement,
Hembar stepped on board and waited for
Crunchy to follow. Once they were both on board, she started the lift going upward. As they started to ascend, Hembar felt a pain coming to her head. Not much, but it quickly grew and she gasped, putting her hands up to her head. Everything went black in an instant, but then she noticed something odd.
Even though she couldn't see a thing, it was like she could hear all around the factory. Just scraps of sentences here and there, nothing she could really make sense of.
"Hey guys, what do you think this is?"
"I'll make it as painful as I possibly can."
"The vykker in charge of the lab where you hatched, remember?"
"“How are you feeling? Can you move?”
"What are you going to do to me?"
"This guy seems to be breathing though, if just barely."
Then she had another flashback.
<●-●-●-●-●>
The pink mudokon looked up, surprised, "There are stories about this place, about how nice it is?" She grinned suddenly, in excitement, "That's amazing! I bet Math told everyone! And all the other mudokons who used to work here! Is that why you came here, cus you heard the stories? You looked surprised when I said earlier that the sligs here were sometimes nice!"
Hembar shook her head, "No, I'm afraid not. I'm not really in a position to take up this kind of job, I'm only allowed to do that if it'll help what I'm supposed to be doing. But there are many mudokons who are in the position to work like this, so having a place like this... It's really good.
"And yes, I was a little surprised, because rumours tend to exaggerate things way out of proportion and you did say earlier about nasty sligs."
"In a way I sort of envy you guys, though... I've never had a chance to live like that. I know, mostly it's a slave's life and not terribly pleasant, but sometimes there's places that are ok, like this one seems to be now, and it's just so... carefree, I suppose. Trust me, sometimes being a native isn't all it's cracked up to be!"
She grinned, then she suddenly noticed something white on one of Anni's hands.
"What's that?" she asked.
"Huh?" The younger mudokon looked down, then she turned over her other hand, which Hembar's sharp eyes noticed something on as well, although she didn't get a chance to see what exactly it was, and quickly lowered the white-marked hand.
"Oh, it's nothing. Spilled some paint on myself and I just sort of doodled in it. Guess I should wash it off."
<●-●-●-●-●>
Hembar slowly came back to her senses. Her ears were ringing and she noticed that the lift had stopped moving and she was lying on the floor, with the meech looking over her.
"Paint?" she exclaimed incredulously out loud, "how did I let that go so easily?" She tried to get to her feet, but her head started spinning and she fell back down to her knees. Looking out of the elevator, she realised that they were now on the second floor. She crawled out the door, and looking down the hallway towards the storage area, she noticed the door to the room had been
ripped off.
Looking back towards Crunchy, she whispered, "What the hell is going on?"
OOC: Apologies for the long-ish post, and I've made a few assumptions about your character MeechMunchie
Not much, but as always if you don't like it you can say so
