SLA Industries: Hunting the Machine

[Grimmie]

Grimmie pulls one of those faces, frowning and shaking his head.

No, actually I was hoping you guys might know where he's got to. Nothing filtered down to you?

Then goes to flip a few scraps around one of the crates.

[Dog Pants]

Oh, erm dunno. Don't tell us nothin'. Upstairs I suppose, in his office.

[Grimmie]

Okay, I'll buy some time while you searchy-search.

You guys don't mind if I stick around for a few minutes, right? Just till I hear something. Nice and quiet down 'ere, makes a pleasant change.

Grimmie waves the hand his Mutilator glove's on and slides back against the wall, near the door.

Why'd you ask if Mr. Keane's here, huh? There something you want to say that you can't with him bumming around the place?

[Dog Pants]

They glance at each other.

Well, usually guests are with Mr Keane.

He adds hurriedly, with intense looks from his colleagues;

Err, but that's okay though! You know, I'm sure it's fine.

[Grimmie]

Sorry, been busy all weekend - Will continue awkward dialogue tomorrow!

[Grimmie]

Okay, sorry. I am bad at this. Guys, what exactly do you want me to ask 'em? Do I check whether or not there's anything TT related?

[Joose]

I'd ask about the other guests hes had down here. And what they did when they were there.

Subtle like.

[deject]

I'd ask about the other guests hes had down here. And what they did when they were there.

Subtle like.

Yeah play it like the boss keeps it close to the chest and doesn't tell you much either.

[Roman Totale]

play it like the boss

[Grimmie]

Sorry, I am balls-awful at dialogue. I procrastinate so much.

Yeah, it is fine. Relax, guys.

Anyone interesting been pokin' round down here lately? Suits or anythin'?
Always thought there was some decent stuff down here, must be worth a few credits to someone.

[Dog Pants]

Oops, I did the phone thing again.

I dunno man, nobody important ever comes down here. Stuff either, this is just junk. Burnt out armour, spent bullets, beat up old guns. It's upstairs where they keep the reconditioned stuff. Uh, we get SLA stuff too, that's always better. That's where they make the Uni, upstairs. Uh, we just work here man.

[Joose]

Looks like we are going upstairs then.

And by we, I mean you.

[Joose]

-Joose +Everyone else

[The Shutting Downs]

So, are Hal and eraser going to talk to doods then?

I am following your lead here...

[deject]

I'll get in the elevator and see if there is an access hatch to climb up.

[Grimmie]

Want me to keep an eye on them while you do scouty-scouts?

[Dog Pants]

The elevator's not on your level, but it's one of those cargo jobbies with the grille doors and you can see a set of narrow rungs leading up one wall beside the guide rail.

[Joose]

So, are Hal and eraser going to talk to doods then?

I am following your lead here...

I think we are waiting on dejects and Grimsby scouting before we go in for a chat. Frankly, if we can get away with not making our meeting, I would be muchly relieved

[deject]

I shall quietly climb up the ladder!
Stealth (4): 3, 10 + 4 = 17

[Dog Pants]

The next level up looks pretty similar to the last one, but you can hear sounds of machinery - drills and cutting tools blaring, rather than the monotone rumble of automated machinery.
