"Fun with tasers" part 3

Who: Rufus, Rosette and Seymour
Where: Corridor
<snip>
"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."

As they came to the end of a corridor, Rufus ducked down and peered
around the corner, Rosette barrel-rolled to the other side of the
corridor and held up her taser to provide cover fire if need be, and
Seymour just limped out into the corridor until Rufus pulled him to
the ground.
"Get down Seymour!"
"Excuse me? What's your problem? I have walked this corridor a
thousand times I don't see any need for your dramatic SAS acrobatics."
"Seymour, how many times has this ship been taken over? I thought
you'd have learned by now!"
A bazukoid shell flew past their heads and exploded on the wall
behind them. Rosette aimed with her taser but the skutter was too far
away.
Rufus took out his psi-scanner and scanned the area. He showed
Seymour the results but the Ambassador waved it off. "I can't
understand that. Give me the gist."
"The corridor ahead has a lot of skutters. Hundreds in fact. As far
as I can see we have two choices… either go through them or double-
back on ourselves and take the stairs to the deck below, which is the
auxiliary mining deck."
Seymour shrugged. "I vote the easy way!" and started to retreat.
Rufus pulled his shirt.
"I wouldn't say `easy'. The auxiliary Mining deck has several large
mining robots."
"So?" Said Seymour.
"So… have you seen what's happening to robots lately?!!"
Rosette barrel-rolled again so she was closer to them. "How big are
these robots?"
"Remember the lifter things Ripley used to fight the Queen at the end
of Alien 2…?"
Rosette nodded and Seymour shrugged. "If it's not a musical I've not
seen it." He admitted.
"…Well it's like those except automated and fitted with drills,
jackhammers and chainsaws."
"Ah." Said Seymour.
<Tag – so which way do we go? Through the hundreds of skutters, or
through the Auxiliary mining deck? >
