OOC: Closed for a month eh? I guess that'd be alright, as long as I can remember where everyone is when we get back, haha.

Ricky stood and watched as the shot Slig attempted to remove the bullet with a knife, but failed and threw it to the ground.
'Ma'am, we should get you to a hospital wing, there must me one in this factory somewhere...' He started to say, but was interrupted.
"Wait a sec... you're that criminal!" she cried, as she whpped her hand to where her gun would have been, but instead it was lying a little way from her on the floor. Ricky sighed.
'Go on, git your gun, then. I haven't got my grenade, I dropped it over there to come help you. You'll be doin' yerself no favours by shootin' me, though, you're bleedin' a river from the wound.'
He stepped forward in the least-threatening way he could, ready for her to make a decision.

Cal flinched and nearly pulled the trigger by accident on his tazer when he heard a Mudokon's voice whispering in his ear; it was that same guy from earlier. Listening to what he had to say, he made a quiet 'tch' noise in response. Why should he let some Mudokon scum tell him what to do, especially with his own weapon? Before he could snap back in reply, a very quiet, fearful voice met his ears;
"Please, there is no reason to be mad. Your injuries have healed, and you have your…weapon back. You don’t need to threaten people.”
Cal took an annoyed sideways glance at a small reddish-yellow-coloured Mudokon child in a wheelchair, and he felt something strange ignite inside his chest. His face relaxed a little, before a voice in his head said sternly;
'What're you doing? Shoot the bastard, come on!'
Another voice (or maybe it was the same one, he couldn't really tell) replied;
'Not in front of the little one. And you should keep a low profile, as the Mudokon said-'
'What, you're going to let some slave tell you what to do? You're going to lower youself to their level?!'
'Whatever, but he does have a point. And the little one looks so scared, put the gun down-'
'No! Shoot him! Shoot him like he shot you-'
'Then you'll be as bad as him, put the gun down, NOW!'
Cal's face and hands went rigid, as the battle inside him continued. Finally, taking another glance into the eyes of the little girl, he sighed and lowered his tazer and let go of the Slig's tentacle, as the passive voice triumphed. Looking round at the older Mud(Doe), and made a sort of eye contact that said "Sure, whatever."
Cal heard the voice again;
'You wuss. As bad as that bastard is, you are.' it hissed, causing Cal to blurt out loud, 'Shut up.'
OOC: Lawl, Cal's hearin' voices
I... didn't expect that to happen, actually.

Not too much violence. That sounds okay. Wic looked on in suprise as the Intern snapped a remark he didn't understand at him, and he wondered if all Interns were as grumpy as Cal. Speaking of which-
'Um, u-uhhh... S-sorry to seem all direct, b-but have you seen an Intern in a blue shirt pass by?' he asked quietly. He hoped they didn't realise he was looking for a criminal, or he would be in big big big trouble.
