Work at Rupture Farms (v.9)

[Splat]

ooc: Yeah, Ackro, as Gretin said, please keep this thread just for the RPG; if you want to discuss games, do it in Off Topic Discussion (or its gaming subforum) or in a blog.
And also, please use the 'edit' button in the corner of the post frame, instead of double-posting. I just merged your two posts...

I got a PM from Chronicler over the weekend, Gretin, and he said he'd be coming back later this week.

Sorry guys, I really meant to post IC but my laptops decided it's gonna crash, so it'll have to wait until the morning.

[MarsMudoken]

OOC: Alright. This gaming stuff was getting on my nerves...

[Splat]

IC:
Jim shrugged his shoulders, "Probably better not to think about it," He said, trying to sound funny, "She's always running off; it's just what she does."

-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-

Grace yelled when he heard the gunshot and spun round, but Ackro had evidently already run off. He cursed as Tok collapsed but was glad that the muds were able to keep a hold of the mud, though he didn't really like that they now had full control of it. "I'll murder that slig when this is over," He muttered, "I'll tell Arnie about all of this." Borso ran off and dragged Tok away.

Somehow I didn't manage to work out, they made it from the ground floor to the labs. Grace pushed open the door, "No vykkers in here," He said and led the way in.

Anni was slightly surprised when she found herself and Hembar holding Mars alone, but she gave Hembar a shaky smile as they manoeuvred to support him between them. They reached the lab and after hearing Grace's message, she entered reluctantly. She hated vykkers and she hated this lab, so hoping to get out as soon as possible, she announced, "The cages are through that door."

Grace grunted and led the way through without looking at her. The room they entered had several cages of various sizes around the walls and a cabinet by the door with some syringes and other stuff on top. "Right, stick it in one of the cages," He ordered the muds.


ooc: It's called Dek's lab because when I made the map, the factory employed a vykker named Dek, and it was his lab. Probably ought to change it, but I always hope Munch's Master (who played Dek) might come back one day.

[AckroTheSlig]

Ic: Ackro was still sleeping, having more of the crumbs from his snack
on him, then in him. The vending machine rumbles a few times, but isn't loud
enough to wake him. But hearing a foot step he suddenly wakes up.
"Who's there?" Said Ackro, holding the barrel's of his shot gun.
The slog walks back up to him, licking the crumbs off. "Ooh! heheheh, stop! that tickles!"
Ackro giggled like a school girl, but again the slog ran off.

[slig# 5719]

IC:
Flad followed alongside the group to the entrance of Dek's Lab keeping his gun pointed at Mars. Borso went to Tok's aid and carried him away. Grace entered first and said: "No vykkers in here." The group then entered the lab.

After they entered Anni spoke "The cages are through that door." Grace just grunted and walked into the cell room, the group followed. "Right, stick it in one of the cages," Grace ordered to the Muds. As the Mudokons started to place Mars in a cage Flad started to speak. "I'm glad that's all over, a bit too much excitement for me." Flad looked at the radio he left attached to his pants and picked it up. "I better take this back to the security office, I shouldn't have anymore use for it. I think i've got the hang of this floor so I should be able to make my own way. See you lot later." Before he left he noticed another Mud in a different cage (Rick). "Heh, looks like the native won't get lonely anyway," he said.

Flad left the Lab and began walking to the Security Office. "I'd better check on Tok when i'm done. That other guy took him up a floor I think."

[AckroTheSlig]

Ic:
"Ugh, this just seems so pointless.. first I fail at Z.a.p.. and now at rupture farms,
maybe I wasn't meant to live a typical slig's life.' Ackro said this to himself, while sliding his moolah into the vending machine, getting a brew.
He chugged the drink, washing his sorrow's away. "It's not like the other's
accept me as one of their own anyway.." He stood up, wobbling off, nearly drunk.
His leg finally started to work correctly, however it along with the other, were swaying back and forth from his intoxication.

[enchilado]

Tok awoke to a faint whirr, interspersed with mechanical coughing.. Blinking, he saw that the ground was a foot or two beneath him. He looked up, and saw Borso watching him. "Oh - thanks," he muttered. The flypants were pretty old, and they wheezed and chugged, but he wasn't rich, so they were enough.
"What happened about the terrorist?" he asked. "Did they get 'im? Where'd they take 'im?"


~haven't posted in ages... and someone see to Ackro, please.
Enchilado

[slig# 5719]

OOC:

...someone see to Ackro, please.

Well I just so happen to be in the neighborhood

IC:
Flad was backtracking his way back to the Main Lift, to find his way to the Security Office when he heard the sound of mechanical pants nearby. Flad heard the sound from further down the corridor. It was another Slig, "It's that guy who keeps wondering off" Flad thought. He noticed that the slig was walking strangely, wobbling, Flad raised his gun at the slig. "Oh no, he's possesed, there must be another native around." As the slig approached Flad noticed he was holding an empty bottle of SoulstormBrew. "He's just drunk. Thank Odd for that." He thought and lowered his gun.

Flad walked up the the Slig and said; "Hi, I think we got off on the wrong leg earlier. I'm Flad. Things seem to be calming down a bit now that, that native has been locked up. I was just on my way to take this radio back to the Security Office." He noticed the Slig was still wobbling slightly. "Are you alright?"

[Splat]

Once the native was safely behind bars, Grace strode forward and locked it. "Right, now you two get out of here," He said, forcing him from the lab before him, leaving Anni slightly disgruntled. He found a chain and a padlock and fastened these around the native's cage in addition to their own lock (just in case) and would have locked the door to the cages, too, except that the lock didn't work for some reason.
Taking the padlock key, he headed for the boss's office, flicking out his radio as he did, "Right, the native is securely locked up in the lab. I'm on my way to the boss's office to let him know the good news."

-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-

Meanwhile, Anni slipped back into the lab and hurried to the cages room; now that the sligs were out of the way, she wanted to see if Mars was alright.

[AlexFili]

IC: Borso was taken aback. "You wanted me to get you new pants AND capture the terrorist at the same time?", Borso shook his head. "Come on, let's go look for him. He's gotta be around here somewhere"

Borso caught the wiff of something new. Was it a meech?

[AckroTheSlig]

Ic: Ackro, still was wobbling around like a zombie when Flad found him.
"Oh no, he's possesed, there must be another native around." When hearing this, Ackro
busted out into uncontrollable laughter. "Eheheheheh!, oh, that was rich."
Ackro took hold of Flad's shoulder, laying his head against his chest laughing
himself silly. "Hi, I think we got off on the wrong leg earlier. I'm Flad. Things seem to be calming down a bit now that, that native has been locked up. I was just on my way to take this radio back to the Security Office." Ackro pulled himself away from Flad after hearing this. "... I'm going to be sick, prepare yourself for.." Ackro held his stomach, as if about to puke, but simply fell backwards, his legs sticking up in the air, snoring.
"-Snore, burp, hiccup, snore-"

[slig# 5719]

OOC:
Wow... Ackro is asleep again . (I seem to be using that Oddicon a lot.)

IC:
Flad stood there as Ackro leant against him laughing. Suddenly Ackro pulled himself away from Flad "... I'm going to be sick, prepare yourself for.." Ackro held his stomach, as if about to puke and collapsed, legs in the air snoring.
"-Snore, burp, hiccup, snore-"

"Um... ok." Flad thought, "better get him out of this corridor. The lift should be around the corner." Flad put his arms around Ackro from behind and dragged him to the lift. "Odd this guy's heavy." He thought. "Ok, the lift's on the ground floor so I just need to call it up." Flad pressed a small button on the wall and waited a few minutes.
As the lift was beginning to move Flad heard Grace's voice from the radio; "Right, the native is securely locked up in the lab. I'm on my way to the boss's office to let him know the good news."
The lift eventually reached them and Flad dragged Ackro inside. "That other Slig took Tok upstairs so I suppose that's where the resting area is." Flad took the lift to the second floor.

Upon reaching the second floor two doors opened on either sude of Flad. "Now just to work out where to go..." Flad looked through the door to his left and saw a door a small distance down the corridor marked; "R+R." "Well that was easy." Flad thought and dragged Ackro towards R+R, His pants where beginning to give in, banging and making other unhealthy metallic noises. "I really need to fix these pants up the next chance I get." He thought and dragged Ackro into R+R.

OOC:
Are Borso and Tok in R+R at the moment?

[AckroTheSlig]

Ic: "Hm, wha--" Ackro looked up from being dragged, seeing the RxR sign.
"What the hell, where am I?" He quickly pulled himself from Flad's grasp.
"YOU, I remember you! your that one guy that wouldn't let me help with the -Hiccup- slaves!" Ackro leaned against the wall, glaring at Flad.
"I don't need your help, your all against me." Ackro, still drunk out his mind had no idea what he was talking about. He pulled out his gun, firing at Flad, the bullet hits the RxR sign, knocking it down ontop of myself. -CRASH, BANG ZAP-
"Ahh, what a heavy blanket this is.. at least it's warm." He said calmly, while falling back into a sleep, the alcohol making him feel no amount of pain at the moment. The sign, nearly twice as big as he is laying on top of his legs and torso. When suddenly he woke up, looking up at flad. "Why.. why do all of the other sligs frown apon m--." before he could finish, the pain kicked in and caused him to faint.

[enchilado]

"Roger," said Tok, trying to get into the mood of flying. "We had 'im... but... I suppose they must've taken him to the lab cages. I hope they found 'em okay, 'coz I sure had no idea where they were." He looked disappointed for a moment, but then he cheered up. "Still, at least he's caught. No more threats to RuptureFarms, hey? But I think we could do with some extra security. Back in the day we had motion sensors everywhere, and moving bombs and stuff."


~poor Mars...
Enchilado

[Gretin]

IC:

Shrugging his shoulders, Jim answered Ralph, [i]"Probably better not to think about it, she's always running off; it's just what she does."

Raising his eyebrows, Ralph replied, "She's allowed to do that? Or is it just that no one makes her work?"

<•-•-•-•-•>

As the sligs and the two mudokons (Anni and Hembar) walked into the lab carrying the native Mars, Anni pointed out, "The cages are through that door."

Just giving a grunt, Grace commanded, "Right, stick it in one of the cages."
The two mudokons complied, the Grace ushered them out of the room while he locked the cage up.

After he and the other slig (Flad) had departed, thinking along the same lines as Anni, Hembar returned to the cages at the same time. She'd have to remember to find that meech again afterwards, but first she wanted to find out more about this native.

[slig# 5719]

Flad was dragging Ackro to R+R when Ackro suddenly woke up and pulled himself away "YOU, I remember you! your that one guy that wouldn't let me help with the -Hiccup- slaves!" He said and leant against a wall "I don't need your help, your all against me." Ackro pulled out his gun and fired at Flad.

He missed and hit the R+R sign above the door. Flad saw the sign about to fall and dove out of the way, It landed with a CRASH. Flad picked himself up to find the sign had fallen on Ackro who was mumbling to himself. When Flad reached Ackro the Slig fainted. Flad saw that the sign had mainley fallen on Ackro's Pants. "That could have been a lot worse," He thought and attempted to lift up one side of the sign to swing it away from Ackro. However the sign was too heavy for Flad to lift on his own and his pants groaned under the weight. "I hope it didn't do too much damage to his pants," He thought and dragged Ackro out of his pants and into R+R where he managed to lift him up onto a bed.

"Right, better find something to do until he wakes up" Flad thought and noticed a screwdriver on a nearby table. "That'll do, I should be able to get my pants in a bit of a better shape." He took the screwdriver and walked to the bed near Ackro's, removed his slig pants and used the bed for height to check the damage the recent events had on his own pants.

[MeechMunchie]

OOC: Ummm... Yeah. I was going to be whimpering behind Hembar, but since everything has moved so quickly...

IC: The cold metal floor against his aching head was all Crunchy could feel. Mewling quietly, he dug his claws into a crack between the metal plates and pulled, slowly climbing to his feet. He had known that something wasn't right, he had got more and more worked up until, at the startling noise of the gunshot, he fainted. The junction was more or less deserted now. Silently, he sat down and cried (Or the closest Meech equivalent).

[AckroTheSlig]

Ic:
Ackro awoke again, laying face down on the floor. "Oh, eh, what the hell--.."
He mumbled. He heard the rattling of metal, looking back and noticing his pants were missing. "Gah! it's finally happened! they've got my pants so it'll make it easier for them to exterminate me!" Ackro thought to himself, while lifting himself from the floor with his arms. He looked to his right and left, unable to see Flad, working on his own pants.
Ackro, started running, using his arms as his means of transportation.
"Pants, pants, they took my pants!" He franticly screamed, while making a pretty good lead away from Flad, still not fast enough to make much ground however, if Flad acted quickly.
Ackro had overcome his intoxication, but over reacted, thinking his pants were taken when in fact their under the sign.
Ooc: Thanks, greta, for correcting me.

[Gretin]

OOC: Yeah, sorry MeechMunchie, I didn't see any way to avoid leaving you behind. I will make sure Hembar gets back to you though!

I was under the impression Flad was working on his own pants, not Ackro's.

[slig# 5719]

IC:

Flad walked to a long table at the end of the room and dragged it to a nearby bed. He removed his pants, climbed onto the bed and dragged his pants onto the table. "Hmm. now lets see... It looks like it's just the rust clogging up the joints" Flad thought and began jabbing at the built up areas of rust around his pant's joints with the screwdriver. "That should make things work a bit better. If only I had some more tools" Flad thought and heard a bang behind him.

"Huh," Flad turned round and found that Ackro was no longer on the bed. Suddenly he heard shouting "Pants, pants, they took my pants!" He then saw Ackro emerge from the row of beds rushing in the opposite direction. Flad quickly pulled his pants off of the table and jumped into them. "Hey, wait." He yelled.

[AckroTheSlig]

Ic:
Ackro kept running, his hands making a patting sound along the floor.
"Pants! pants!" He Yelled ever few seconds. He made his way past Tok, ignoring him completely. Suddenly, he came head fist to a wall, rolling over on his back.
"Ahh, Oh Odd, I can't catch a freakin' break.." Ackro said, while seeing stars from the bump on the head. He pulled on a small line, hanging from the ceiling, hanging from it to keep off the floor. "Meh, look at me, I'm so vulnerable.. anything could just decide to come by and end me for good.." Ackro thought to himself, while climbing up the line, on top of a rather tall machine.
Once up on the top of it, he hunkered down, watching everything from up there,
the only thing that could be seen is his tentacles hanging over the side of the machine.
"Perhaps I'll be safe up here, from any sligs that dislike me, and from those damn paramites if they were to decide they wanted a nice, blue snack.." Ackro said, sighing, out of Exhaustion.

-----------------------

Ooc: Yeh, I fixed it a moment ago Flad.

[slig# 5719]

OOC:
@AckroTheSlig
Well if you want I can leave my post as it is or I can alter my last two posts so Ackro's pants are left under the sign.

I'll make the changes in the morning since it's almost midnight here and i'm a little tired.

EDIT:
OOC:
It's almost been... 17 hours and no reply yet from Ackro so i'll just continue on for now and not mention the pants .

IC:
Flad yelled to Ackro but he didn't seem to hear him. Ackro crawled out of R+R and Flad began to chase him. However his pants where nowhere near perfect condition and couldn't even reach a full run. "WAIT" Flad yelled. He entered the corridor but couldn't see Ackro anywhere. "Odd that guy can move." Flad thought and looked at the Main Lift. "Well the lift's still here so he must be on this floor somewhere." He thought and started to search the corridors for Ackro. After a few minutes searching Flad found Tok. "Hey it's you... Tok right? Your pants exploded earlier, looks like you've got wings instead hope they work out better for you." Flad said, "You didn't happen to see a blue slig with no pants pass by did you? I need to find him." Flad asked. "A blue Slig, with no pants, who could NOT notice that." He thought.

[Splat]

Jim scratched the back of his head, "Um, more like no one has stopped her for a long time, and she's just gotten a lot of practice at it. I think the sligs who have been around a while like #7 have sort of come to accept it," He shrugged, "Though I dunno, if Arnie doesn't come back to 'nice mode' she might have to calm down a little."

-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-

Grace reached the boss's door, passed the hulk of SU and knocked on it, "Boss, the native's been caught and is locked in the lab cages. I padlocked his cage and have the key here. You can probably open your door now."

-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-

While all sorts of interesting things were afoot in Rupture Farms, William Krik was just getting off of the train that had carried him away from the factory. Now back in the lab where he worked and lived when not at Rupture Farms himself, he headed for his office.
"How's the brat?" One of the other vykkers called as he passed.
"Causing trouble. Sorry I can't chat; I've got yesterday's report to write, and a fone-call I need to make."
Safely locked in his office a few minutes later, he plonked his bag on the desk and dug out the file he had stolen from Rupture Farms' lab. It was the medical records of one particular employee.
He read through the information again; the mudokon had been shot accidentally, and the surgeons who worked on her found something rather interesting in has physiology. Something very interesting, and very illegal, and very exciting. He leant forwards in his chair and picked up his fone.

Flicking through his rolodex, he found the number he wanted and dialled it in. The slig he spoke to told him the vykker he was looking for was elsewhere, but gave him another number to ring.
While waiting to get through the second time, Krik picked up the stolen medical record again, and flicked through. He found out that the mudokon was on lone to Rupture Farms, and had been for nearly two years. Interesting...
"Whaddaya want?" Said the slig on the line.
"Good afternoon," Krik purred, "I would like to talk to Victor Emlech."
"Uhuh, who's calling?"
"Tell him a very old friend, who knows a little about a mudokon named... Anni."
There was a long silence.
Then Emlech's voice sounded on the line, "Who is this?"
Krik grinned, "What has it been, 20 years?"
"I said who is this?"
Krik leant forward and flicked on his fone's screen, "It's Krik."
Emlech looked surprised, "How did you find out about Anni?"
"I've been given a special assignment in Rupture Farms 1029. Anni was injured recently and I happened to find her medical file. It was rather... revealing. I recognised my own work, at once."
Emlech glared, "I don't owe you anything for her."
"I know, I know. But I'd like to talk."
Emlech nodded, "Soon."
"Tomorrow?"
"This evening. Where can we meet?"


ooc: Krik is a character from this RPG (his profile's in the profile thread). I'll put up Emlech's profile later.
Mars, I'm gonna wait for you to post. If Mars is awake, he can see Anni re-enter his room.

[MeechMunchie]

OOC: Yeah, sorry MeechMunchie, I didn't see any way to avoid leaving you behind. I will make sure Hembar gets back to you though!

OOC: My fault really, I should have paid more attention.

[Jimmy-le-sniper]

-----IC-----

As one of the intruder he spotted ran away, SU-01 decided to stay here and focus on the remaining one. A few minutes later, a slig came by and knocked at the door, reporting the capture of the mudokon fugitive.

"Well, that's a change" SU-01 thoughts. "Maybe they can manage to do something well after all..."

"There has been another security incident. I spotted two intruders trying to hack this office door. The first one, an unidentified slig, ran away but I managed to keep this one within my killing range(designating Guekko). I've informed the Boss of the situation but he failed to reply...So, I'm forced to stay here until I got further notice.

The fugitive ran the way you just come from so you should check the surroundings of the labs...

[AckroTheSlig]

Ic:
Ackro, relaxing on top of the machine, was getting rather hungry.
"Geez, what I wouldn't give for a Scrab cake.. but if I get down from on top
of this contraption, I might be killed.. I can think of three sligs that would
love nothing more then to waste me in a split second." Said Ackro, as he was
trembling in fear. "I just can't even be taken seriously without pants..
I'm no threat to anyone for Odd's sake." He dug his finger nails into the sides of his
head, worrying to think what might become of him.
"You didn't happen to see a blue slig with no pants pass by did you? I need to find him."
Said Flad, catching Ackro's attention. "Wha?.." Ackro peeked over the side of the machine,
(A boom machine) noticing Flad right down below, in the middle of a conversation with Tok, the slig he'd passed moments ago to crawl on top of the machine. "Oh, great.. why can't that slig mind his own business? Wait.. could Flad be after me? what if-- Eep! what if he wants to do me in as well?!?"
Ackro quickly shoved himself back out of anyone's view, hugging himself and trying not to breathe loudly, so he wouldn't be noticed.

--------------------------------
Ooc: Flad, thanks for continuing with the story but I said in my above, edited post
that I'd fixed it where it was you working on your own pants and not mine.
Changing subjects for a moment.. Happy Thanksgiving you guys.
(Accept for the people I'm not speaking to.. you know who you are.)

[slig# 5719]

OOC:
The posts containing Ackro's pants have been altered and corrected .

Happy Thanksgiving to those who celebrate it, (I don't know anyone over here in England who does.)

Now just to wait for Enchilado (Tok) to respond to Flad.

[enchilado]

[-- IC --]

Tok turned to see Flad coming toward him. "Hey, it's you... Tok, right? Your pants exploded earlier, looks like you've got wings instead. Hope they work out better for you," Flad said, "You didn't happen to see a blue slig with no pants pass by, did you? I need to find him."
Tok grinned. "That blue weirdo, ya mean? I was just about to go ask him what happened to his pants myself. He's on top of that grenade machine over there," Tok pointed, "hiding from something. Should I fly up there and take a look?"


~what happened to Borso?
Enchilado


EDIT: 5719 posted. Happy Thanksgiving, though I don't celebrate it. And - I've responded

[slig# 5719]

OOC:
That was faster then I expected .

IC:
Tok replied to Flad's question "That blue weirdo, ya mean? I was just about to go ask him what happened to his pants myself. He's on top of that grenade machine over there," He pointed towards the boom machine "hiding from something. Should I fly up there and take a look?"
"That'll be great thanks." Flad replied. "Be careful though I don't think he quite knows what's going on, There was an accident a few minutes ago and he fainted. I think he thinks his pants have been stolen but they're near R+R. A sign fell on 'em"

OOC:
Dunno what happened to Borso I guess either Flad and Ackro didn't notice him or he went off to find Mars.

[AckroTheSlig]

Ic:
Ackro could hear the two conversing.."That blue weirdo, ya mean? I was just about to go ask him what happened to his pants myself. He's on top of that grenade machine over there,"
He blinked a few times out of confusion."Blue werido? How dare he call me such a vile name.."
Ackro snarled slight, when hearing this.
"Be careful though I don't think he quite knows what's going on,
There was an accident a few minutes ago and he fainted.
I think he thinks his pants have been stolen but they're near R+R. A sign fell on 'em".
"So, they thinkIi'm crazy huh, that I've no idea what's going on?!"
Ackro pulled himself from the top of the machine, laughing with a strong evil tone.
"I'll show you, who's confused and crazy! Oh, ho yes! I'm the crazy one here..
not by any chance, could it be the sligs trying to kill on of their own!!!"
Ackro threw himself against the machine, multiple times, causing boom grenade's
to shoot out the machine's vending slot. The grenade's laying at Flad's feet.

=----------=------------=---------------=-------------=-------------=


"Eh, heh, heh, heh! Who's crazy now!?" His rather peculiar and outrageously
insane laughing and fist banging, caused him to lose his balance and fall from the top of the machine, running off yet again.. right before the grenade was about to detonate, yelling. "You'll never catch me ya stinking poo brained pant thief!"
Although, to much luck to Flad and Tok.. The grenade's were dud's.
Ackro had again, somehow got the upper hand in his insane behavior,
thinking now that Flad and Tok, were both out to do him in.
"I can't keep running like this, my arms are dead tired.." Ackro said to himself,
while pulling himself into a dark corner with the last of his strength.
"Ah, Odd.. I hope they don't find me.. I'm not ready to die, I'm too blue and handsom.."
Ackro said, breathing heavily from all the current stress he's under.
