ooc: Exceedingly busy weekend.
Jimmy, you really need to think about how SU is going to react. He's your character and only you know!
It might be that he doesn't know how to react and decides to sit and wait until someone turns up to help him out.
Venks, I was assuming he'd been caught but I don't think anything was said so if you want, bring him back, but have him stay undercover for a little longer if that's ok
He was a more interesting character when he was being sneaky! Though Dionysia won't be happy about this *sighs*. (Also, will you be catching up with The Despicable? I miss your comments!)

Krik was standing in the doorway to storeroom, watching the exchange between Dek and the robot. he was wondering if it might make an adequate distraction for him to make a break for the service lift in the corner.
However, he thought better of it. The machine was either going to sit there until some superior slig arrived or until it went mad and shot Dek, which should give him time to dive back into the storeroom and maybe make a grab for the weapons in the corner.
When the flying slig turned up, he decided that it might help the thing see reason, however. "Listen, whatever your serial number is," He didn't do robots, "I'm not an employee of this factory; I am here on business. I have already been held up overnight and now I risk missing
another train! If you do not let me pass then I will be making a
serious complaint to your makers and owners! Now let me pass."

Dionysia looked back over her shoulder and, instantly forgetting about the stupid slig she had been half a second from garroting. She turned to the boss and sauntered towards him. "I was merely stating, as you ought to remember, that I am
not here to act like a stupid slave. I'm here for security, for keeping trouble out of the factory, and you ought to remember terrorist I caught yesterday from under your nose, and the one a while ago that me and G-" She stopped; it still hurt to say his name. "Me and a slig caught and brought to you."

Jim cried out as the blow hit him and knocked him back into the machinery. He was breathless, at a new height of terror. He didn't even hear the slig's next comment; the wind rushing in his ears was too loud. His vision seemed sharper and yet his mind was making no sense of the image.

Anni was feeling pretty glum after her meeting with Dek. Her moods had been somewhat changeable recently and she missed the days where she could actually feel happy most of the time.
She shrugged at Skullik's question. "I don't know where Jim is and we could be searching a long time. If we go to the production lines now I can go and look for him later, maybe during our lunch time.
They arrived at the production lines and spotted Gewher. She was about to call out to him when she realised what he was doing, the way he was holding his gun! "Hey, STOP!!" She almost screamed and ran at the slig, leaping onto his back, trying to pull him away from Jim.
