"Multi-Tool for Brains"

Who: Rosette, Rufus and Random Security Grunts.Where: Fourth Base holding CellsWhen: Just before the Zograth emperor was killed"s-so... Do you have a-a plan to escape?" Rufus asked in his usual way.  Being a reclusive scientist, he'd never really got the hang of talking to other people... Especially not ones that made him slightly uncomfortable, yet feeling able to be himself around at the same time."Kind of..." Rosette replied.  Her weapons had been taken away, as had the weapons of everyone else in the cell.  She turned to the other captives."Anyone got a blade or sharp item of some kind?" she asked.  Grumblings, mutterings and general moans of "no" were her only reply.  That is, until someone handed her a small multi-tool."Hah. Perfect" she said, withdrawing the small screwdriver from it.  It had a relatively sharp edge, since it was so small.  She leant over to the bars, and reached through, using the tool, she tried to pick the lock, but soon gave up."It's not long enough... I need something bigger." she said, looking around the room as she thought."I wish I'd made some new GUNK.." Rufus said to himself.  It would have been the perfect way to escape, but as it was, he had none with him.  Even his lab-coat had been taken away from him, probably because of all the residues of various chemicals that stained it.  Rosette took a sneaky glance at his normal clothes, then paused, as if she was staring right at him."Uh..." rufus said, looking back at her.  "wh-what's wrong?" he asked, then saw her break out into a huge grin."stay right there." she said, stepping over to him, her hands outstretched.  She looked like a woman on a mission, though no one quite new what that mission was, and others didn't want to know.  Her hands reached down to his belt-line, causing him to go bright red.  "what are you doing?" he asked, losing his stutter for the moment as he knew exactly what he needed to say."It's part of my plan..." she said, giving a wink as if to say 'maybe later i'll do this properly'.  This just had the effect of making him blush even more.With his belt in hand, she used the multi-tool to take it apart, and used the blade of it to pick the lock.  Soon, the door swung open, and the multi-tool lodged itself in the brain of a nearby Ape-creature on the opposite side of the room."I've still got it." Rosette said, blowing across her fingers as she held a hand like a gun.  She turned back to the now open cell."Come on everyone." She said, then as all the security guys had left, she walked out with Rufus.  "Sorry I ruined your belt.. I'll buy you a new one when we get back to the 'Dwarf."<tag.  Anyone really.>Got a cool Hotmail story? Tell us now
