Work at Rupture Farms (v.7)

[Patrick Vykkers]

IC: Praetyre noticed two other Mudokons, one of them another female, and one of them near the Slig called Arthur. The female Mudokon called out when the Mudokon called Anni called out "No.. no.." and seemed to be intent on controlling Dek's activities. The male Mudokon also seemed to agree with her. Praetyre rolled his eyes underneath his helmet and spoke in a slightly warm yet firm tone;
"Madam, I fully appreciate that my race has done you much bad and continues in many places to do so and that you may feel an intense emotional attachment to this Inhabitant. I genuinely regret the many terrible things that have been commited against your people and against many others. But I feel obliged to point out we are 1. Medical professionals, and 2.Adults. We are not children, and will not be bullied into doing what you desire. And if you attempt to obstruct this operation or bully my superior or any member of this facilities medical staff, I will not at all tolerate it. Ditto to you, Mr Mudokon."
Praetyre turned to Dek;
"Could you give me a little background on this patient? I feel like there's a lot I don't know here."

[Munch's Master]

OOC: Got the PM Splat. Sent you one, it's probably best for you to read it.
IC:
Dek looked shocked and appalled as Kix and Ralph started yelling at him to treat Anni. He regarded them coldly, and when he spoke, his voice had a fierce tone, barely surpressing his astonishment at their words.
"Listen to me, I am not some crazed experimentor. I am a surgeon. My job is to heal. I have had cases in this factory where I have wanted to investigate my patients further, but of course have treated them first. The Slig, Stuey, was somehow pregnant with his clone. I helped him first, asked questions later. The same with Molt's psychological problems. Don't you dare question my integrity or moral fibre again. Might I remind you I helped treat Anni ocne before, and if she hadn't panicked then, maybe I could have convinced you of my honesty."
He heard Anni's cries.
"As you can hear she is in considerable distress. If I might be allowed to operate, then perhaps I can help your friend."
He turned to Praetyre as they entered the Lab.
"There's far too much for me to say now. The fact that she's female is bizarre enough- how many female mudokons do you get? Her pinkish grey skin tone is also of concern for me- she has exhibited strange powers in the poast- she caused a medical chair she was seated in to spontaneously combust, and at times has appeared like she is being possesed. I am worried there could be some connection in DNA between her and the terrorist, Abe. This is why I have been wanting to investigate her, but right now, we just need to save her."
~~~~~~~~
Arthur carefully placed Anni on a medical bed. Having watched enough of Dek and Slap's operations, he knew how to act, and hooked her up to a life support sytem quickly, just in case her lungs started failing. His medical brains ended there though, and he left the rest to the 2 Vykkers and Slap.
~~~~~~~~
Dean was still worried, back in the R+R. He carefully made his way out of the room and headed to the Lab, firguring that if anybody was hurt, that'd be where they'd be taken to.

[Zozo the Zrilufet]

Dimitrio muttered sadly as he stood in the doorway, watching the commotion in the lab. "It's gonna be ages until I get someone...." He muttered, unheard over Agent's screaming.

[SligValet]

IC: Charles woke up in a bed in the R+R room. "Wuuh.. where am i?" He said grozzily and sat up. "Ah right. Now i remember everything. Gunfight, i get hit, legs walk away, aaaand i fell asleep. Yey. I got some new pants. How exciting. (sarcastic)" Charles said for himself. "Well, time to get up and see if i can survive this time til' i find the boss!" He said and went out of the R+R room.

~~~~~~~~~~

IC: The FeeCo Depot train slowly departed and on the train platform stood a blue/green skinned male Mudokon with a brown backpack looking around carefully. "Well, i guess this is it!" The Mudokon happily said and walked into the entrance door. "Hello? Anybody here?" Marl asked and took off his backpack and went looking for someone who could get him a job.

[Splat]

ooc: Anni is pink/grey, not blue.
And Somi has headed to the warehouse on the ground floor.

Actually now I think there isn't much to say IC. Jim is outside the lab feeling miserable, Dionysia is waiting for #7, Somi is leading the way inside and trying to be sneaky about it, and Anni is just about losing consciousness.

[Munch's Master]

ooc: edited now Splat.

[Slogster 2k7]

Pablo had left the cafeteria as he was not really that hungry, he decided that getting to know some other Sligs would be a bright thing to do, so he started to wander about.

He turned the corner to see the R+R room and a Slig walking out of it.

"Hey, do you know where the Big boss guy is?" he asked hoping the slig could hopefully help him out.

[Mia the Mud]

Andy spun around to see another slig behind him. He looked as lost as he was. This place was so huge that he just got lost looking for the boss's office. He shoke his head, "Sorry, man. I'm just as lost as you."

[SligValet]

IC: "Well hello there, I'm looking for the boss here myself." Charles happily said to the Slig that came up to him. "Maybe we can find him together? My name is Charles by the way!"

~~~~~~~~~~~~~

IC: Marl wandered around in the big empty corridors looking for someone to help. He finally came to a door with a sign on it saying "Executive Office" Marl knocked hard on the tall door three times. He then waited a few seconds for a respond, and then knocked again, waited, no response. "Great. Ill just sit down here outside and wait then." He said confused and sat down on a empty barrel of SoulStorm Brew.

OOC: Sorry for short post, but nothing seems to be happening at the moment.
And Mia the Mud, no offence, but you need to have a intro, like arriving in a FeeCo train or something. You cant just pop in from nowhere.

[LadySlig]

Martha looked at the hulking BigBro and offered him, Jatt, her hand, saying, "Hello, Jatt. My name is Martha. How do you do?"
Rusty picked himself up and dusted himself down remarking, "Pretty around, who the clean?"
Niko shrugged, having caught his breath, "I dunno, chold behth thy workezz in thiz plahe."
Rusty looked surprised, "Indeed, better then post old."
Peach spun about, trilling, "Chakka!" Before running off down a few corridors, keen on finding something interesting in this place.
OOC: Excuse me, but where are the wild life chars?

[Gretin]

"Madam, I fully appreciate that my race has done you much bad and continues in many places to do so and that you may feel an intense emotional attachment to this Inhabitant. I genuinely regret the many terrible things that have been commited against your people and against many others. But I feel obliged to point out we are 1. Medical professionals, and 2.Adults. We are not children, and will not be bullied into doing what you desire. And if you attempt to obstruct this operation or bully my superior or any member of this facilities medical staff, I will not at all tolerate it. Ditto to you, Mr Mudokon."

Ralph snorted. "Look at me, vykker," he said holding his hands out to the sides, "and tell me I have no reason not to trust you. I'm sure you'll understand."

OOC: Remember that Ralph is a bit "discoloured," hence the above gesture

IC:

Dek: "Listen to me, I am not some crazed experimentor. I am a surgeon. My job is to heal. I have had cases in this factory where I have wanted to investigate my patients further, but of course have treated them first. The Slig, Stuey, was somehow pregnant with his clone.

Might I remind you I helped treat Anni ocne before, and if she hadn't panicked then, maybe I could have convinced you of my honesty."

"Very well then," Ralph replied, "get on with the treatment and maybe I might believe you."

[WaterMelody]

OOC: now, i am completely and utterly lost. urg.

IC: scri walked tout of the cafeteria, and slowly made her way back to the R+R. she sat down one one of the beds and ripped some material off her wrap, tying it around her arm. 'I better find the infirmary or whatever' she thought, before trudging off down the hall, thinking of what the boss was goning to think of her, since she was involved in all this trouble.

[Patrick Vykkers]

IC:
Praetyre listened to Dek, then to the male Mudokon, who showed him his somewhat discoloured hands. He was getting quite irritated by this bunch, and so spoke with a neutral yet somewhat irritated tone;
"Look, this is a medical facility, not a government fraud investigation. You have zero right to be interfering with the lawful activities of Humphrey and Irwin Vykkers Laboratories Incorporated, or the Magog Oddworld Commerce Cartel. We are legitimate employees and certified medical staff of this facility, and plus, I am most likely not even of the same ethnic group that has inflicted harm upon you. As you can see I'm short.."
Praetyre briefly removed his armoured glove to expose his bare skin, then put it back on.
"..and blue. And my superior here is not anything like the horror stories or bizarre sadism out of some laboratories. This is not a public event or Unusual Things Show 4000 episode. So please, go on with your work, and we will contact you if anything unusual happens.. and trust me, it probably will. Interfere further, and I may simply hold you back and slam the door. I assure you the steel door is quite impossible to break, and even if you could, I am armed with military issue machetes and electric gloves in addition to being fulled armoured in a suit and my co-worker Slap is experienced enough here to be packing a Snuzi in no time. My superior I cannot speak for, but I assume he is fully capable of using all four arms to thoroughly cause dynamic impact on your primary muscular area. Or as Sligs might say, kick your ass. Cheerio."
Praetyre turned to Dek;
"This Anni character sounds interesting. I hope she is okay, as I hate to see other Inhabitants in distress. Hopefully, we'll have her fixed by the afternoon. Should we go into the lab now, sir? Or is there further business to attend to?"

[Gretin]

OOC: Um, by discoloured I meant... Ralph is entirely dark-blue. Not just his hands. Anyway, I'm not going to post IC as it was only 2 posts ago that I did it last.

[skillyaslig]

Jatt: Oh, um hi..*reaches out and takes hold of the mudokons, Marthas, paw.* 'Ow do ye do?
-----------
Cylepso:I'm bored...lets go...see you Slax, Tiny, Vester and Lenny. have a good day.
Seb: mhgma, mhgah, mhgmam mhgaj.
Cylepso:Yeah, see ya'lls. *gets up and exits the cafe, Seb trotting beside her*
Vester; Shes nice...wonder what happened to Agent..
Lenny: Yeah, shes cool. Poor lady, screaming like that! *sniff*
Vester: Hmm...anyway, whats umm, up? *to others*

[dripik]

"Wait, wait." said #7, finally getting the picture. "So that red-skinned Slig was Gore? That explains the bandages he wore earlier. I wonder what was he doing in the vents?" he said.

He saw that the Slig who was still saluting was new around the place, so he asked Dionysia instead. "Have you met Gore earlier? Was he doing something... uh, strange?"

Then he turned back to the Slig. "At ease. What's your name?" The salute was a new phenomenon he had not experienced before, seeing as he never was a high-ranking Slig. Still, he could have get used to this sign of respect.

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

OOC: I'll post some more later on, got to go now.

[Slogster 2k7]

Pablo looked at both of them.

"Well i guess we could go looking in a group."

He then looked down at the floor.

"We should go find some Mudoken workers, they will know something." he said looking up at them both. he was quite glad he had found some company to get along with.

"We should be Friends." he said smiling

[Venks]

"At ease. What's your name?" #7 asked.

CD-428 stopped saluting and replied, "My name is fifty-five thousand four hundred twenty-nine or CD-428, I also go by Bam-bam or #8 for short.
CD-428 didn't know what it was, maybe it was the title the Slig carried, but CD-428 wanted to please #7. CD-428 was pretty sure he would do anything for his, hopefully, new boss.
--------------------------------
When no one followed Doe into the grinding station and into his traps the Mudokon warrior sighed. "I shouldn't of let myself get exposed like that." The Mudokon thought to himself, "I guess I need this after all."
The Mudokon rubbed off his war make-up and took out a small brown bag attached to his spunky orange loin-cloth. Inside the bag was a Scrub outfit scuffed with sand and dirt, the Mudokon put the outfit on. Doe hid his belongings including his club close to a grinder, rigging a trap to stop anyone from finding it and living.
Hoping to confuse pursuers Doe went up the stairs to the upper grinding area and exited on to the second floor. Walking down the halls keeping to the shadows Doe made it to the stairs on the opposite side of the second floor and went down them entering the first floor.
Doe stumbled out the stair way and in front of the R&R, the new plan was to get employed and spy with the perfect disguise. Without the war paint and the orange loin cloth no one would be able to recognize him as the Native Mudokon, or so he hoped.
Doe walked towards a small gathering of Sligs and Mudokons and went up to the dark-skinned Mudokon. With a practiced industrial accent Doe asked anyone nearby, "Excuse me I'm new here, where can I get a job?"

Doe laughed maleficently inside his mind, predicting the doom of all industrial scum.
----------------------------
The small fuzzle followed the veteran Paramite into Rupture Farms. "Where are we now exactly?" Alexander II asked, then slowly added, "If you don't mind telling me."

[Munch's Master]

Dek was getting frustrated with the bickering, and knew he better be getting on with the operation.
"Look..er...oh, I'm sorry, I don't know your name. Anyway, Praetyre I assure you is a highly qualified and honest Vykker and I, well, you don't have to trust me, but I do suggest that you shut up ad let me get on with treating your friend. All this mindless arguing is merely delaying the operation, and if you continue to prod and poke at our moral fibre, I'm afraid I'll have to get Arthur to escort you out."

Arthur cracked his knuckles without any show of menace, after all, it's hard to have an aura of menace when you're *slightly* overweight and slouching.
"I suggest ya listen to Dek. He's a good doc, lil' eccentric sure, but a good doc."

[dripik]

RG's memory core was nearly overcharged by the Mudokon's sudden and inexplicable dissappearance. "This is a perfect example for the reason why I dislike Mudokon organics. Some of their mysterious abilities are causing me hardware malfunction. Possession is one thing, I can handle that, but this..."

He cooled down a little, then noticed that Goresplatter is still lying on the ground. "Now, I wonder why did you came to see me. I suppose you can remember what happened in the basement yesterday." he said to Gore. Meanwhile, an odd electric humming started emanating from his right fist - possibly as an offense-defense mechanism.

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

"Hey, did you feel that?" said Arnie, looking around, right after Doe rushed past the Glukkons. They didn't see him, obviously.

"Yeah, it was like a rush of wind." said Otto. "Someone might have left the door to the roof open."

"Could be." said Arnie. "Well, let's get to work." They set off to the Executive Lifts and took one to the ground floor.

[Mia the Mud]

Andy looked at both of them, nodding his head, "Sounds good with me." Then he realised that he didn’t introduce himself. “I’m Andy by the way.” He shifted his rife so it was resting on his shoulder, making sure that he hadn’t knock out his breathing tube. He looked at Pablo and smiled, “I would like that. I need some friends around here.”

[Zerox]

OOC: Fine, ignore me.

IC: Slash flew off past the robot and Slig, and flew into the grinding area. He kept his rifle poised. Nothing. He lowered it, and looked around. He thought he saw a slight, odd shadow near the grindears. His night vision seemed to reveal a piece of bone sticking out. He flew closer. A grinder was directly above it. He assumed it had fallen from above during grinding, and become stuck. He couldn't bear to leave it there, being a very tidy Slig, and made to pull it out. But then looked up, and noticed it was almost directly underneath the grinder. He didn't want to set it off accidentally. He didn't know if anything may be there. For security, he flew behind the grinder and deactivated it quickly, then went back round. He yanked the bone out...wtf? It had some sort of orb in the end of it. He had no idea what it may be, he remembered a Vykker having one as a 'souvenier' of some sort, but nothing else...he pulled it out and looked at it. Almost like a weapon...nice and comfortable to hold. He slung his rifle back and swung it about. Then noticed a bag of some sort. He yanked that out...behind it was a switch. That would have activated the grinder. He looked in the bag...some odd clothing was in it. He had no idea who or what had, or would, wear it. Puzzled, he flew to the Executive offices. He saw the lift going down. He looked at some signs, and took a detour to the bottom, and met up with Arnie and another Glukkon "Sir, I, found these, uh, supsicious items in the grinding area. Are they of a worker, sir? There's this cool club-thing and some weirdo clothes in this bag...he presented the bag's contents to the Glukkons.

[Venks]

OOC: Zerox I didn't actually plan for anyone to find my hidden stash of items, but not only was the grinder rigged to go off and kill someone, I also had left some agitated Sting Bees there.
I hope you like bees.

[Splat]

Jim was still slumped against the wall when a mudokon walked past. He glanced up half-heartedly, and then suddenly recognised who it was and lifted his head. The guy was walking away from him, evidently having not even noticed he was there, but Jim recognised him.
It was the native from yesterday! He'd changed his clothes and somehow gotten rid of what Jim had assumed to be tattoos, but it was definately the same guy, heading towards the R+R.
He followed after him quietly until he disappeared into the room. The two sligs were still in there so Jim hid himself in the shadows outside and waited.

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

Dionysia answered #7 as soon as the idiot slig finished. It gave her a moment to think up a way of explaining events without making Gore look stupid. "I met Gore yesterday when I was with Gappiqu. He was a bit over-zealous about doing his job, but at least he was doing the right thing."
She was about to make a scything comment about CD when a mud came in and asked her where the boss was. "Do I look like a map? Go bother someone else."

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

Somi answered Alexander, "We're in the warehouse the sligs use for storing the food they make. Most of the stuff in this corner is pretty old so they don't come down here much. I just want to get something to eat and I don't feel up to hunting."
Perhaps that was because she had just 'befriended' a fuzzle: one of the creatures she would usually be trying to eat. Or maybe she was just getting lazy. Who knew.

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

Anni was barely aware as she was laid on the table, then (I assume this is what the life-support system consists of; let me know if I'm wrong) Arthur lowered a breathing mask onto her face andshe was on a table, a mask on her face, tied down to stop her thrashing and trying to get away. A few metres away was another mudokon, female, older... Nova...

She was screaming. They both were. Vykkers moved around them andshe started shrieking, thrashing both her arms and squirming towards the edge of the table Arthur had put her on.

[Patrick Vykkers]

OOC: IIRC, Arthur is still outside the lab door.
IC:
Praetyre nodded to his superior, and began to point Dek and Arthur to the lab door;
"Sir, I think we should go in now."

[WaterMelody]

Scri climbed down the stairs, looking for the infrimary. She decided to go back to the cafeteira, thinking that lenny might still be there. As she approaced the door, she saw that intern for erlier walking out with another slig. Scri stoped in her tracks and shouted "HEY! do you's know where the infirmary is?". while still keeping her distance, she moved another step forward, hoping the slig would answer.

[Goresplatter]

Gore, watching RG's fist begin to shake, winced and pulled himself to his knees and putting his hands up. "I'm here to apologise, and to turn myself in for the crimes I am accountable for... I don't think violence is necessary, please don't hurt me!" He shuddered slightly. "Please, I'll patrol the lower Rupture Farms depths, I'll retrieve Mollucks suit from his rotting, corpse in the Scrab-infested depths, but Odd - just don't send me to Skillya!"

[Mia the Mud]

Andy heard something from behind. He clenched his rifle and whispered, “Yo, do you two hear something?” He wasn’t sure if he was just hearing this or he actually heard something. Hopefully, Pablo and Charles heard it too. He looked in the duration of the noise, searching for it.

[skillyaslig]

Cylepso: *looks over and sees Scri* Hello, whos that?
Seb: mhgham mnhgha, mgh ghannam, pjhgham.
Cylepso: Oh, okay...*remembers the Mudokons question* Sorry! We just go here!

OOC: Sorry, short post.

[LadySlig]

Peach runs down the long corridors, clicking and chirping to herself. She raised her beak and sniffed the air; there was a lot of critters around here. She trotted around then stopped at a corner, threw back her jaw and uttered a deep howl.
**
Martha smiled at Jatt and shook his hand, "well its a pleasure to met you Jatt. Well, I must apologise but me and my friends-" breaks off as she notices Peach is gone. "Peach! Where is that silly baby?"
Rusty wiped his tentacles and shrugged, "I know, where gone bit. She be back later."
Niko stalked forward and nudged Rusty, "Yef, she'll beh a trottin' backa shone...She's curieous abhout this plache, lhike ufs."
Martha frowned, but then signed, "Oh alright..Come on Rusty, Niko. Lets get going. "With that she wheeled herself forwards, saying over her shoulder, "Bye Jatt."
Rusty trotted after her, saluting to Jatt, "Bye."
"Byez Jaht," Niko said, as he walked after the slig and mud.
OOC: Where are the wild life chars?
