ooc: sorry, i made a post to reply to metroixer at school yesterday but then I got logged out and when I tried to post it got deleted. I'll remake that and then reply to Arnie.
I think Dek is still in his lab, correct me if I'm wrong. Also Munch's Master, if you have anything against this post let me know and I'll change it.
IC: Stivik approached the door to the med room and let himself in. Ignoring the vykker who was busy with something and didn't notice him, he walked into the room where Anni was in her cell and grinned wickedly at the filthy mud. (ooc: I'll wait for T-nex now)
================================================
Dionysia looked at Mist like someone with the general mental atitude of the queen slig might look at a worker class slig who was trying to push her out of his way.
She might take it from vykkers, or even glukkons but not from sligs.
Dionysia: "Uhuh, well this," she waved the message recorder she was carrying in his face, "Is a message directly from the Magog Cartel for your little boss in there. If the factory was falling into a hole in the ground this would be more urgent. I'm sure Queen Skillya would be interested to know that this place has sligs who think themselves more important than messengers from the Cartel. It wouldn't look to good for you, or for you're boss in there if she was to find out, would it?" She gave him a poisonous smile (that's a figure of speech, she's not actually poisonous).
At which point Arnie entered the room and greeting her after, as she noted smugly, stopping to take in her appearance.
Dionysia; "Uhuh, I guess so, unless the little guy has taken over," She glanced at Otto, "I have a message here from the Magog Cartel. Someone's in a little trouble."
She held out the electronic message recorder (with screen) so the glukkons could see it. I'm going to assume now that Arnie and Otto are watching it.
She switched it on and an important-looking glukkon appeared on the screen, blinked a couple of times and spoke, his voice floating out of the speaker below the screen:
Message: "Alright, I'm ready, start the thing recording. What? Oh, alright... This is a private message from Social Secretary Misgit of the Magog Cartel High Command to Arnie, director of Rupture Farms. It has come to our attention in recent months that some of your management techniques in previous jobs have been... below standards. judging by the attitudes of several employees to leave the new Rupture Farms, we decided to launch a private investigation into the techniques you are occupying. I would like to bring to your attention that the way you and your staff are treating your slaves often directly oppose the standards set out by the Magog Cartel's laws. Many of the activities that have been observed by our investigators can be considered acts of terrorism against industrial advance. I doubt that I need mention that the punishment for such acts is execution in front of Queen Margaret.
"However, up until recent days the produce of your factory has been above average. While the recent decline in productivity had been a cause of worry, it has come to our attention that these problems can be accounted for by shortage of staff and machine damage.
"Due to this success we have decided on two criteria points you must fulfill and we will allow you to live and carry on in the way you have for another few years before we bring this to your attention again. First of all you must increase your productivity to a higher level than your factory's average before recent events. You have recieved several new members of staff in the last week or so and these should offer you the support you need. Secondly, the mudokon who brought you this message is a prototype creation from Vykkers Labs. While she has a few... personality quirks, we require a factory environment where she can be monitored. Therefore we are giving her to you to look after and nurture and look out for any unexpected developments. An inspector should come to Rupture Farms every few weeks to check up on her and report to us on the progress of your factory. If you concede to both these orders we will let your crimes pass as long as they grow no worse. There is no need to tell you what will happen if you fail.
"We are also aware that you're brother is with you learning management techniques. I would reccomend you let him know of the trouble you are runnig in to and warn him against taking a simlar path: you are very lucky that we are letting this pass for you." The glukkon on screen turned away from the camera and said to someone to the side, "Tha oughta bring him into shape. What's for dinner?" The screen went black. A few seconds later an electronic voice announced, "This message will melt in 10 seconds. 10. 9. 8..."
Dionysia threw it away.
Dion: "So, what'll it be? Will I be calling you boss or calling you dead?"
ooc: Sorry about the sheer length, just wanted to get it all over with. I don't want to change the story line too much, I was just getting worried with Stivik snooping around and what that would mean for Arnie, had to get out of the problem.
