OOC: Dripik is a tad busy with university work, but he notices when his presence is needed somewhere. And although he has no motivation for any sort of written projects nowadays, Dripik will try to muscle up a reply.

#7 Slig listened to the conversation between Anni and Emlech. It seemed that the Vykker will have some trouble with retrieving Anni, seeing that she seemed quite reluctant to leave with Emlech. Jim was also with her, covering behind Anni, possibly because of #7 Slig's presence, but he wasn't too bothered by that at the time. He concentrated on his task.
Suddenly, both Mudokons broke off and ran down the corridor. With Emlech shouting at him, #7 Slig ran after them. He had no idea how he could stop them without causing harm to any of them. It was RG who specialized in hunting Mudokons down...
"RG, come in." he spoke to his SCU while running, hoping that he'll get an answer. As usual, RG did not let him down.
"What is it, Slig organic?" came the robotic voice of RG from the device.
"I'm trying to catch Anni now - Boss' orders. Could you help me out? You can log into the security system, can't you?"
"Naturally." said RG in a cool voice. #7 Slig heard a few metallic steps, a dozen clicks, and finally RG's voice. "The security feed shows three Mudokons running down the corridor of the ground floor, closely followed by a Slig."
"Yeah, that'd be me. Where do you think they are heading?"
"Seeing that they are trying to avoid capture, I think they are looking for a place where they could hide. If I were in their place, I would either choose the older part of the factory, or the basement that can be accessed from the Production Lines. The former option is more likely."
"I see. Can you seal access to the older part? Is there a door there?"
"There is one. Activating..." said RG.
Among the background noise of the factory, #7 Slig could here a new sound: a rather low, foreboding mechanical rumbling coming from the end of the corridor. He could see the hallway which led to the older part of the factory. A thick metal door was slowly sliding downwards, designed to bar access to the run-down section of the factory.
"Curse this old machinery. Come on!" muttered #7 Slig, eyeing the door's slow descent.

Slowly after Emlech leaving, SU appeared at the door of the Office, wanting to talk with Arnie. The Glukkon was getting tired of all these appointments and meetings for the day.
"Well, if you can fit through the door, come on in and talk." Arnie felt that he can ignore being polite with a robot, and he also wanted to get over it quickly.
