"Fun With Tasers" Part 2.

<snip>
A siren sounded, and a red light pulsed. Thick metal blast doors
started to close in front and behind them. The skutter ahead just
made
obscene gestures towards them.
Rosette started to run towards the blast door ahead, she wasn't even
sure if she would make it before it closed, and what she would even
do
when she got there.

Rosette had no time to think she raised the taser that was still in
her hand and fired at the scutter.
naturally, the barbs pinged off of its metal shell, and the scutter
raised a finger at her. Annoyed, Rosette hit the button anyway.
Luckily for her, the barbs had instead stuck themselves into the
controls for the blast door...
The door rocketed down at super speed, and slammed into the floor.
Shocked and even more annoyed, she fell to her knees, but Rufus put
his hand on her shoulder.
"Look!" he said, his eyes open wide as the dust from the door
crashing shifted. The door had bounced, leaving a small gap
underneath.
Rosettes eyes opened wide as well, and she smiled widely, darting
towards the gap. Sliding through as fast as she could, she grabbed
the taser bits out of the control panel, and noted the scutter now
lying helpless on the floor in front of it.
"what happened?" she asked, as Rufus stood up next to her. Seymour
whined and shifted himself around under the door.
"Looks like..." began rufus, "the scutter suffered a feedback
current when it tried to remove the barbs..." he finished.
Rosette looked at him with a bewildered look on her face.
"what?" she asked, "you mean he just got zapped by the taser?".
"Yes." came the reply from Rufus, who looked down at Seymour, still
struggling to get through the door.
"Need a hand fatty?" Rosette asked, jokingly. Seymour stopped
struggling and frowned at her.
"I'm not fat! I'm just carrying some weight from the charity opera
house buffet last week" he whined, Rosette sniggered and helped pull
him through.
"You're just fat." Rosette added when he was finally through. "I
got through without touching the door, and i have these!" she said,
indicating her chest.
Rufus sniggered from the side, watching them fight like an old
married couple, then he shivered at the thought of seymour being
married to anyone.
"enough fighting" he said, "we need to keep going."
