Flax the Glukkon sat in his office smoking his cigar and worrying about the problems in the factory over the past twenty one hours.
First had been the escaping of a mudokon from his zulag, then the spawners and tear x-tractors had shut down, Abe had entered the building freeing mud slaves, The legendary 'Fin' had escaped the brig and the floor seven incident. He was completely oblivous to the fact that our group was responisble. I was also amazed that he had no idea that Ice had been living there right under his nose for so long.

A slig ran in, "Boss! the pipes aren't working!"
"Check the piperoom, thats the only place where they are exposed" Said Ice.

"Ok, disbatch a search team to the piperoom" the slig said down the radio.

"Er... we cannot gain acess, the piperoom is on fire sir!"
"Boss the piperoom is on fire"

"Damn I could have guessed" Said Flax.

Abe freed the last mudokon and lept through the portal.

"Sir we have 300 mudokons unacounted for"
"Our entire workforce is missing!" Yelled Flax.
"It couldn't get any worse"

The piperoom smelled of smoke from the fires burning all around us as we walked towards the exit. It was quiet except for the cracking of flames. Then I heard it.

Bang

"Did you hear that?" Said Dac.
"Yeah"
"Definately"
"Of course"
"Yes" I said

"Thank Odd" He said
"Why?" asked Ash
"Just incase I was going mad"

Then BANG, ... ,BANG,Bang,BaNG,BANG.

"The hell!" Yelled Scar-eye.
"The brew vats are exploding!" I said
"Abe has gone!" said Nat

"**** Abe! get outa here now!" Yelled Scar-eye
"All my fault" Groaned Dac.

So we ran and the explosions shook the building.

"Calling all workers, report to the office now..." "For..."
"We..." Ar..e..." "In...." Deee..eep" "Shit"

The intercom went off and the piperoom exploded as pipes shot their contents in every direction. They cancelled each other out as we dived through the door leading back into the floor eight corridor.

"Quick take the elavator!" Said Scar-eye.

He opened the door and stepped onto a thin ledge. We were in broad daylight. He turned around to look at the building.

"Holy!..."

The floors above us were missing, a mere framework remained. The tanks had ignited blowing the entire building above floor 8.

"What now!" asked Nat
"Bad luck..." Said Dac

"Stop the negative attidude!" said Ash.

"This is simple," Said Scar-eye "We have to go along that platform" He said pointing a a collapsed frame work.

"Er... Scar-eye that IS just a girder!" I said

"We can't can't go back down that Tower, we have to cross this framework to the other"

"That Tower is the main one!" said Nat "The Brewmaster and Flax are in there!"

"Bad luck!" Said Ash
"Don't insult me!" Sighed Dac...
