Work at Rupture Farms (v.8)

[Munch's Master]

OOC: I suppose we could just say the coloning was a failure, so Dek decided to come back to his steady job.
As for Arthur, let's just say he did what he does best- slept right through it.
arkaznor's going to give me a detailed update in a couple of days, so I think I'll resume here after that, just so I know where everything stands.

[arkaznor]

Welcome back (Munch's Master), especially since you told us that you would be here for this version, and than you just disappeared, gone, nothing. But seriously, you/ your characters will be welcomed.

I'm still waiting on Splat and Skillyaslig, as well as permission to turn Ark into an overpower lamp.

[Splat]

ooc: Well Dek's only been gone a day
Maybe he and Prae had an argument and they decided that Prae would go and organise things himself (renting equipment and a building and so on) while Dek does some research in Rupture Farms while also keeping thier plans secret by not acting suspiciously or something.

Ark, yes you may blind us all temporarily.

As for IC...
Dionysia chased Ark down a corridor...

[Zerox]

OOC: WTF happened to Zozo? Silph kinda can't do alot...
Hope no one minds me getting rid of the fire at least.

IC: Slash, after much searching, managed to feel out a fire extinguisher, containing foam, which would be harmless to the mechanics. He sprayed it upon the fire liberally, until it was all out. The room was still full of smoke, which was in itself a health hazard. Hopefully the ventilation system would clear it later of its own accord. For now, it seemed to have been stopped. He backed out the room so he could breathe properly. He went outside for some fresh air.

[arkaznor]

OOC: Right.

IC: Ark, used most of his energy to sprint to the end of the corridor. He could turn right, then left and try to hide in the production lines, 'But I don't think I can out run them for that long'.

Deciding to take a gamble, with his tattoos, he turned around to face his pursuers. He had about 10 seconds (tops) before the mudokon caught up to him.

Taking a deep breath, Ark took up a stance in a T-like shape. Chanting under his breath, his tattoos started pulsating and an arc of energy passed over his head from his hands.

Ark brought his hands together, and in the moment that his hands made contact with each other, his tattoos spread through out his entire body; causing a blinding flash. The mudokon was within an arms reach of him.

Sidestepping Dionysia, whose forward momentum carried her to his position, he spat, "That's what these tattoos can do." Then taking advantage of the new opportunity, he ran past the slig, and turned left at the end of the corridor.

OOC: Are there pipes above Ark, that he could host himself up on to?

[Munch's Master]

OOC: All I need to know now is where everybody is in the factory, specifically the Cafeteria and Dek's Lab, as if I'm going to reintroduce Dek I need to know who's in his Lab at the same time. By the way, I'm aware I mistyped cloning as 'coloning' in the previous post but I left it cause it made it a Freudian Slip.
IC:
Arthur jolted awake in the Rest Room.
"Bleh. Too early."
He shuffled up, pulling on his pants and walked out into the corridor, in time to see Dionysia, chasing a purple-skinned mudokon.
"That Dionysia sure is strange. Heh, that's what yer get fer being an experiment."
He ambled off towards the cafeteria, his mind firmly set on food.

[Splat]

ooc: The lab contains only Jim.
As for the cafeteria, at the moment it contains Krik and Moosh's three chracters (two grubbs, one of which is tied up on the floor, and an irritable intern). it possibly also contains some of Zozo's chracters but as she's currently inactive they can be overlooked, and maybe some of Zerox's characters.

Zerox, you can move away from Zozo since she's been gone for a long time.

MM, didn't Dionysia slap Arthur off of his feet once? Also, Dionysia is on the ground floor.

As for pipes, there can be if you want, though maybe not too many There may even be some gaps high up in walls if you really want, slipping between rooms. Rupture Farms as it is was pretty much banged together as quickly as possible before Arnie and co. moved in.

IC:
Dionysia could not be insulted for faltering in her pace slightly as the mud turned round and began glowing again, but she regained herself after half a second and kept running towards him with the determination of someone who exists for a single purpose. She was nothing if not bold.

The sudden flash caught her completely by surprise however, and she stumbled against a wall, her hand shielding her eyes. The mud hissed something at her and ran past. She made a grab for him and caught him with one arm but he slipped from her grasp and she heard him pounding away down the corridor. She dropped to the floor in case the slig started shooting blind, and rubbed at her eyes, blinking and cursing. She could barely see a thing.

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

Krik grinned (somewhat unpleasantly) as the slig (whose name he still didn't know) ran out of the cafeteria after the mud and Dionysia. If Dion didn't catch it then the slig would probably shoot it. There was no point in taking savages alive.

Sinking back into his chair (he wasn't used to all this excitement, it had to be said) he cast his eyes around the cafeteria and for the first time he noticed the somewhat ostentatiously dressed and, worse still, un-lip-stitched intern in the room (Skelter). He gave it a disdainful look. Krik was the sort of person who didn't seem to believe that interns actually had names or personalities, preferring to refer to them with such labels as 'Mute' or 'Oi, you!'


ooc: Now waiting for Gretin for Anni.

[OddYouko]

IC: Corky was getting a little tired of shooting the wall so he stopped fireing for a moment. He loaded his gun again but didn't shoot instead he backed away from the wall and away from Phats. He still had no idea where this fire was or the Slig that ran out of the Cafeteria. He growled a bit then looked over as he heard some foot steps coming this way. A purple Mudokon with glowing tattos came running down the corridor. "Hey you!" Corky yelled to the Mud. Maybe he knew what was going on? Phats growled but then got quiet. He didn't want to get hit on the head again. He moved by the way and whimpered because of his hurting head.
OOC: Roy's waiting on Dripik.

[Moosh da Outlaw]

Out of Coffee: Forgive my anti-Meech outburst, please. :C

BIC:

Skelter looked around, frowning. Everybody she had been messing with was gone, and they'd taken all the exitement with them. She frowned. 'Odd, what a drag.'
Yawning broadly, she wandered deeper into the cafeteria. She was in no hurry; surely, if whoever owned the place was willing to hire such wierdos, she'd have no problem getting in.

Skelter turned slowly, and spotted a vykker (Krik) glaring at her critically.

"What do you want?" She spat, crossing her arms.

---

Mola picked himself up off of the floor, sniffling. He'd stopped crying, but tears still streaked his face, leaving dark marks as thick as tire tracks. Ophelia jerked the leather belt that was holding Mola's hands together.

"Come on," She cooed, leading him along. Mola followed obediantly, still sniffling. The pair left the cafeteria and wandered down the halls, their feet gently patting the floor. Mola looked around with his wide blue eyes, making sure to stick to the center of the hall; the walls were absolutely filthy.
'Who owns this place?' He wondered, fantisizing about what the place would be like if he owned it. It would be green. And have lazers. He smiled through his mouth gag.

[Gretin]

OOC: Ha, bet you thought I was gonna vanish for months again XD You're not getting rid of me that easy. Welcome back Munch's Master's Master.

Probably should have mentioned it sooner but since she got shot yesterday she probably has a bandage round her chest and another on her arm. You can forget it if you want; I'm a bit late mentioning it really.

If I remember correctly Hembar did actually notice it when she first spoke to Anni out in the garden. But I'm far too lazy to actually have a look and see.

IC:

Anni: "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.

<•-•-•-•-•>

Ralph stopped talking to RG suddenly, as he saw a flash of light around the corner (I'm guessing that Ark and everyone weren't in the same part of the corridor as Ralph and RG, but in theory they would still see the light around the corner).
"Excuse me," he walked off away from the robot, and as he rounded the corner he just caught sight of a strangely coloured mudokon (Ark, but look who's talking ) running around the next corner.
He saw a black mudokon (Dionysia, he'd seen her earlier but didn't know any more about her now than he did then) down on the floor, cursing and rubbing her eyes and also a slig (Cylepso) coming the other way.
Quickly taking in the situation, he took off after the fleeing mudokon.

[arkaznor]

OOC: Now even more people are chasing Ark .

IC: Ark heard some one yell after him. Ark, being someone who always replied (even if the person is not talking to him), yelled, "Can't talk right now! Running for my life!"

Taking a sharp right, Ark dove into a large room (Product Warehouse). Looking around he saw a semi-large low pipe, near a group of more pipes, near the wall in the shadows.

'Perfect!', he thought as he run, jumped, and grabbed onto the pipe. Swinging, he was able to hook his legs onto the group of pipes, right before the one he was holding broke. His unexpected momentum nearly caused him to fall, but he was able to use it to help him climb up on to the pipes.

He quickly looked at the broken pipe line, as soon as he could. 'Why does it even exist?' Ark thought as he found the pipe; no gushing air, no liquid pouring out, not even electrical wires were in it. Just a hollow pipe.

Still holding the broken pipe, he snapped out of his puzzlement, and tried to balance his weight on the few pipes. Getting nestled into the shadows, he waited, having a view of outside the room into the corridor. His tattoos had stop glowing completely, making him blend into the dark.

[skillyaslig]

OOC: Yay, Cylepso gets blinded!
IC:
Cylepso yelped as the Mudokon (lol, lamp boy) glowed brightly. The harsh light stabbed through her eye pieces, causing her to cry out, as she was half-blinded. The eye pieces prevented the worst of the light, but bright spots danced in her vision, causing her to become disorianted. Sqwarking angrily, she flaied about until she gripped the wall. Groping, she found the door frame, barking, "What the ruddy hell...?"

[Munch's Master]

OOC: What is Jim doing in the Lab, Splat? I'd also forgotten I controlled Dean. If T-Nex is still RPing, she can have him back.
IC:
Arthur walked into the cafeteria, watching 2 strange short things run past (OOC:He has never seen a grubb before). He saw Krik and a intern that he didn't recognise, and they seemed to be arguing. Arthur butted in.
"Uh, where's the food guy? Isn't he called Dean or something. He then looked at the Intern "And who are you?"

[OddYouko]

IC: Hearing the Mud Ark's reply made Corky even more angry. He held his gun tight and growled. "Hey! Wait!" He cursed and ran after the Mudokon hoping he could tell him anything. Phats barked and followed his master quickly. They both ran down the corridor and stopped by the Product Warehouse. Corky looked around ready to shoot off his gun at any moment. "I just wanna talk to ya Mud!" He tried to get Ark out of his hiding place. Corky scanned the area and noticed the room Ark was hiding in but he didn't bother going in. He then looked at Phats and ordered him to "Get'm!" Phats barked loudly then headed in the large room. Corky wasn't sure he had hid in there so he got his Slog to search. Corky searched away from the Product Warehouse and looked around the halls. Phats yelp as he hit his brused head on a low pipe but still searched like his master ordered. He sniffed and drooled but still couldn't find Ark.

[Venks]

The robot hopped off the top of the train and landed without failure as it had calculated. The robot had quickly learned that it wasn't even an outsider in these parts. It was a machine. One that had to belong to someone. Digit had never before considered what it would be like to be fought over like he was some cheap can opener... it was degrading. A few sparks flew from the RH Unit's left hand returning his processing mind to the current moment. His wrist energy blaster was destroyed... the robot wouldn't be shooting anyone today. Digit slowly walked into the industrial building. Rumor had it that Mudokons were treated somewhat fairly here... perhaps Digit could get some help as well.

[Zozo the Zrilufet]

OOC: Did a post, stupid thing didn't copy and paste...Yeah, maybe later.

Venks, you kinda just...Make a character and leave it. Like me. Someone shoot me now.

IC
Agent began to let her mind slip under the luskan's grip. The anaesthetic from the operation had given her an alergic reaction, messing up her memory until such time it faded from her system. The cafeteria was springing into chaos. -
(Laaaater, I hate this stupid copy paste thing and want to kill it)

[Venks]

OoC @ Zozo: I've found it much easier to just roleplay one character. I had abandoned my old ones because no one posted in W@RF. I'll miss Doe.

[Zerox]

IC: Slash pushed open the front door and flew up into the air. He hovered stationary, and stretched his arms out, then rested on the roof to get some breath and fresh air.

The Slig Silph was clasping seemed to have calmed down. Noticing a large amount of commotion around one Mudokon, he lowered the Slig down, and decided to investigate. He noticed a flash of light, with an odd hue to it, so not an electrical fault or grenade. It seemed to have been caused by a Mudokon, the centre of the chase. He heard it's footsteps head for the product warehouse. The cafeteria was right next door, so it was simple to get to it. He went through the kitchen, past his hanging Paramite and into the product warehouse. A Slig and a Slog were already in there. He noticed a broken pipe hanging from the ceiling, so the Mudokon may be up there. Silph leant against the wall to watch.

[Splat]

ooc: Venks, please edit the profile of your new character into your first post as him in this thread [rant/]

MM, Jim was just in the room where the fire was, and is having difficulty breathing. He went to the lab looking for a medic and is now sitting on the table waiting for one to show up. I have to say you came back to the forums just at the right time for him
Also, I hope now Dek might recall the oddity he discovered in Anni Since he's alone now he'll have to face the dilema alone.

IC:
Anni fell silent at that comment, 'being a native isn't all it's cracked up to be'...
She'd always seen it as an idillic alternative. Sure, it'd involve a lot more work, but it was work for good, work they did because they chose to, not because they were told to. But of course, even the natives were in danger from glukkons, and Abe's attacks on the Cartel couldn't be helping the situation for them, even if it was helping the slaves. But at least they were free!

Hembar's question broke her reverie, "Huh?"
She looked down at her hand and saw the white mark clarly emblazoned there looking bigger than it had last time she had noticed it. But when the handscars had appeared before her hand had itched, and this time she'd felt nothing strange. Thinking fast, she turned over her other hand so the other mudokon wouldn't notice the black mark (if it had appeared too; Anni didn't stop and check) and quickly lowered the white-marked hand, hoping Hembar hadn't looked too closely.
"Oh, it's nothing. Spilt some paint on myself and I just sort of doodled in it. Guess I should wash it off." She grinned up at the other mudokon.

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

Dionysia was aware of a lot of running feet and running sligs' pants, and even a slog barking. Still blinded, she groped her way to the wall and stumbled back towards the cafeteria.
The image of then mud glowing like the sun was brozen in her vision, but as she staggered back she began to faintly see the corridor moving through that image. After that her sight rapidly returned, more or less, and she looked around. The corridor was empty apart from that freak-girl-slig that had followed her from the cafeteria.
She could hear noises from the warehouse however, so she stumbled over to the slig, grabbed her by the arm and told her, "Come on, I think he's run through there." Hopefully the slig's eyes should be recovering too.

ooc: I'll finish the IC after this ooc: I looked up flash-grenades and discovered that their blinding effects only last about 5 seconds, so I thought it would be reasonable to assume that our girls () should have recovered by now, particularly since Cylepso's eyes were protected partially by her mask.

Gretin, feel free to have Hembar notice the hand-scar for what it is, and maybe read some meaning into it. If you want to add anything specific could you PM me with your ideas first, so I can ensure it matches with my plans?

IC:
Krik granted the intern an 'I'm only paying you enough attention to be unimpressed' expression and answered, "Haven't you any work to be getting on with? I believe the medical and scientific facilities in this building are on the floor above. That's where I'd expect you to find the laborotory staff as well."

ooc: Good luck Dek!

[skillyaslig]

OOC: Yeah, the mask has protected Cylepso's pretty purple eyes XD
IC:
Cylepso shook her head, already the spots where fading from her vision. Silently thanking the Vykkers for the (ibet not so great) mask, she struggled to straighten.
The female slig gave a jerk as she felt a strong arm grip hers, and a harsh voice say,
"Come on, I think he's run through there."
Cylepso glanced, and saw the strange dark coloured Mudokon from before.
Huh, quite a few weird things happening around here....Cylepso thought idily.
Arupty she straighted and said, "Yep, if we catch him now, it should minimise the damage the native can cause...." She stumbled forward, shaking her head to clear the last bits of the haze.

[Munch's Master]

OOC: I'm not sure if I recall it. I remember Anni had some kind of spirit that occassionally posessed her. Was the other thing that she was a fertile female mudokon?
Also, is T-Nex still posting here? If so, can I give her Dean back? Also, if she is posting IC, how come you're still controlling Anni, Splat?
IC:
Dek turned round, ready to inspect somethnig else, when he noticed he had a guest in the Labs. "Ah! You're Jim, aren't you? The one who's terrified of Sligs. Well then, I notice you seem to be breathing a little irregularly. What is the trouble?"
~~~~~~~~~~~
Arthur watched as Krik ignored him. "Thank you....right, I'll cook something myself."
He again butted in on the argument, talking to the intern "OK, you may not know this, but I've recently become known as a food conny-sewer, at least I think that's how it's pronounced. I can make a good intern soup. Interested?"
Arthur didn't wait for a reply, and instead just bustled off behind the serving hatch, looking for anything edible and tasty.

[arkaznor]

IC: Seeing the broken pipe, fine. Thinking that Ark is up in the pipes is not likely to be the first conclusion, but is a possibility. Other likely possible reasons, pipe= weapon, shabby barely holding together building.

Any who.

OOC: Ark sat among the pipes, looking down at the two sligs and the slog.

'You know, this hole thing is your fault,' his subconscious had come back, and was really annoying Ark. 'I mean really, you get your self into these things way to often. This is like your,' the little mud seemed to really concentrate, 'second time.' It took a bite out of an imaginary popped zapfly, 'You could get your self out of this easily. You have a pipe, you have the element of surprise, and you have the higher brain functions.'

Ark then heard more foot steps out in the corridor. 'That's way,' he spat back; in his mind, 'I'm out numbered.' Looking around he was barely able to make out that the pipes ran along the wall, and rounded the corner.

'I'll wait a little longer and see if they leave.' His mind spokesmud rolled his eyes, as he took another bite of the bug.

[OddYouko]

IC: Corky noticed Silph aganist the wall watching aswell. He then looked back inside where Ark could be hiding. He scratched his head and waited for either Ark or Phats to come out. Phats stopped his whimpering and started sniffing around for Ark again. He had no clue why he was searching for this Mudokon but if his master ordered him to do something Phats would be sure to do it. He growled in anger. He couldn't find the Mudokon because of the new smells around here that he never smelled before and plus his hurt head was killing him. But Phats was determand to catch this Mud and get Corky to treat him right again. He barked loudly just to try and scare the Mud outta his hiding spot.


EDIT.

[dripik]

OOC: Sorry for the delay, I've been too distracted with exams lately.

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

Arnie stood near his table for a while, suppressing his headache and watching the proceedings around him at the same time. Apparently, some Mudokon (Ark) came in with slightly glowing marks on him, and Cylepso chased him out of the Cafeteria, followed by Dionysia and some others. In the meantime, he noticed some more people arriving. For one, there was a new Intern (female, by the looks of it) who was able to talk. However unordinary this was, Arnie was not exactly impressed - his throbbing temple was still the center of his concentration.

The other newcomer (Roy) came up to him and asked "Are you the Boss around here?". Arnie turned to face him. Among the freakshow Arnie got used to, this Mudokon seemed rather normal. "Yeah, that'd be me." He forced himself to sound less angry, which was helped by the question of the Mudokon - at least, it was reasonable, and it didn't raise Arnie's blood pressure any further. "You're here to work or you like to live dangerously? I approve of the former, but you can have both here."

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

As Ralph rushed past RG, the robot turned around to see the subject of the Mudokon's interest, but he couldn't see anything; neither could Rick, who was next to him. "What do you think he saw? Couldn't you sense anything?"

RG took a few steps and looked around the corner. He saw Ralph running down the corridor, but nothing suspicious. "I did not sense any vibrations in the air..."

"...in Mudosian, that means that you didn't hear anything...?"

"Don't interrupt me, Mudokon organic." said RG. "As I said, no vibrations, no temperature change. Nothing I could sense with my back facing this corner." He fell silent for a moment, then spoke again. "I think it would be better if I went after the organic and investigated the situation. You should go to the Production Lines and do what you can to extinguish the fire."

"Um, OK. Take care then..." said Rick, turning around and setting off towards the Production Lines, while RG ran after Ralph.

[Moosh da Outlaw]

"Haven't you any work to be getting on with? I believe the medical and scientific facilities in this building are on the floor above. That's where I'd expect you to find the laborotory staff as well."

Skelter scowled. "Labratory staff? You kidding me? Do I look like a nurse to you?" She rolled her eyes. Vykkers! Always thought they knew everything, didn't they? What exactly went on in their blimp-sized heads?

"OK, you may not know this, but I've recently become known as a food conny-sewer, at least I think that's how it's pronounced. I can make a good intern soup. Interested?" Somebody else (Arthur) butted in.

Such rudeness! Why was everybody interrupting her all the time? "Well, its not pronounced that way, but don't sound it out; you might hurt yourself. Oh, and if you're looking for something to cook, try yourself. You've got plenty of meat on your bones." With that she poked the slig in the stomach.

---

Ophelia lead Mola back up the stairs, muttering under her breath. "Okay, so maybe Rupture Farms was a no-go." she sighed.
Mola seemed distracted with something else. He was staring down the hall, his eyes like saucers. Ophelia frowned. "What is it?"

Mola pointed a trembling finger towards the train station, at a strange metal creature (Digit) farther down. Ophelia stiffened.

"HEY A ROBOT." She shouted bluntly. "Cool!" The pair ran over towards it, hopping around it in a little circle. "Can you shoot lazers? Or solve math problems in your head?"

[Zerox]

OOC: Silph isn't a Slig, guys :P

IC: Silph remained quiet and out of the main area, but observed the area around the pipe. Though the pipe may have been broken through other means than a Mudokon climbing up it, since they aren't especially heavy, it didn't look like it had been busted for long, besides, it didn't seem likely something this obvious would be left unfixed for long...that train of thought quickly concluded by a flying Slig entering.

Slash returned from outside and decided to see what the commotion from before was about. The mass seemed to be heading for the product warehouse. He overtook and entered. he flew forward...before hitting his head on a low pipe. He rubbed his head as he turned to inspect it. Curiously, the pipe seemed to have nothing running through it, no wires or anything. Perhaps it had been previously used before Rupture Farms was destroyed and then taken over by Arnie, since it could serve no structural purpose. Either way, he couldn't leave it as it was. He left again for welding equipment.

[Munch's Master]

Arthur scowled at the Intern.
"Oh ha ha, let's make a joke about the Slig not being bright. And I can hardly eat myself. I know you were being sarcastic, but seriously. I'm hungry. Oh, and a fat joke too. You've got enough belly yerself."
He prodded the intern in the stomach in return.

[Venks]

Digit was listing possible options for what to do with his damaged wrist laser when two small organisms (Mola and Ophelia) began to encircle him and spouting non-sense. Digit's battle commands began to auto-function in response to being flanked. The odd small organisms matched none of his records, but their appearance was similar to that of native Mudokons. Naming the objects Unknown Natives he decided to classify them as natives. Mudokon natives were lethal at close-range, but these Unknown Natives did not appear to have that power. However, one thing that was hard-wired into Digit was to never rely on a behavioral pattern of a native. Natives pulled on a strange chaotic energy force that always resulted in some random haphazard effect. The best course of action would be to eliminate both Unknown Natives before they viewed him as a threat. After multiple scenarios the one with the highest success rate was to just break their spines quickly ending their lives.

Only after calculating the chances for error did Digit shut down his battle commands. Digit was not just another mechanical soldier RH-501, he was Digit a being with a conscience that was self-aware. Digit decided to attempt verbal communication with the Unknown Natives. The mechanical being had heard before that verbal communication was how most flesh beings identified themselves and solved their problems. Digit adjusted the volume on his various speakers to an amount he had learned to not cause pain to living beings and produced the words, "Hello Unknown Natives. I am a all-purpose mechanical unit serial code RH-501, but I would prefer to be addressed as Digit. I have no records of your existence in any of my files. Would you care to identify yourselves?"

[OddYouko]

OOC: Oops sorry about that Zerox. ^^'
IC: Roy tried not to get scared or freak out so he stood his best for the Boss. He looked a little surprised at first but soon got calm. "Yes..sir I'm here to work." Roy replied to Arnie's question. He held the wash cloth tight in his hand. As soon as he'd get done talking with Arnie he'd get straight to more work. And now that he got perrmission it made Roy wanna work more and harder then ever. He just didn't wanna run into any Sligs. "I'm really good at cleaning...so I'll try my best sir!" He started to walk off towards the sink to get his wash cloth wet and then go work somemore.
---------
Phats didn't hear Ark get out of his hiding spot so he sniffed somemore. Corky getting very annoyed walked right in where the pipes where. "OK Phats! Ya keep a lookout for anymore Muds running around and I'll search in here! Got it?" He stared at the Slog in anger. "Now get!" He yelled and Phats headed out the room and into the halls sniffing. Looking around he searched for Ark hiding among the pipes. "Hey Mud! Get out here!" He loaded his gun.
OOC:

[Splat]

ooc: Where's Otto at the moment, Dripik? Just wondering.
MM, I mean Anni being fertile. I don't remember Dek ever finding anything out about Nova.

IC:
Krik rose to his feet, slightly indignant. The intern had now turned its back on him and started arguing with one of the sligs! "Excuse me," Krik said clearly, "If you're not here for scientific or medical work, why are you here? Unless you've come simply to pick fights with the workers and cause trouble?"

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

Jim looked up in surprise, having not noticed the vykker come in, "Uh, um," He stuttered, his voice hoarse, "Yeah, I don't know if you knew there was a fire at the production lines. Some stupid... mudokon went running in there for no reason, so I went in after to drag him out... I think I've inhaled- I mean I did inhale some of the smoke. And it's bee a bit hard to breathe since."
He gave a not-very-confident half-grin. Dek was a doctor and Jim didn't really think there was anyone else he could go to for help, but he was still a little uneasy around vykkers, and seeing how Anni reacted to them only fed his paranoia. Odd, the last thing he needed was another phobia!

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

With only half a glance to see if the slig was following, Dionysia made her way to the warehouse just in time to here Corky's proclamation.
"Right, cus that'll work," She hissed at him from behind, then imitated his voice patronisingly, "Hey mud, get out here while I noisily load my gun just so you know I'm gonna shoot you when you do!" She rolled her eyes; sligs were such idiots.

The warehouse was full of crates of meat-products, some opened and half-empty, others prepped and addressed, ready for transport, which would provide plenty of hiding places. The whole room was poorly lit as well so they would have a hard time spotting him. However, with her dark skin that gave Dionysia an advantage over the average mud.
