((OOC: Ooh yeah! I can't pass up on this opportunity! Thanks!!))
"I AM on an important mission" Elwood replied, tilting his light down
so not to blind her; "I'm on a mission from god..."
The quote must have got lost in the atmosphere between his speaker
and Allie's audio receptors, as all she did was glare at him as she
stood and dusted herself down.
"Oh great, now you little bog-bots are talking... shouldn't you be
dead or something?" she growled.
Elwood shook his head.
"I had the foresight to recharge my back-up battery before the power
went off"
Just about resisting the urge to claw her hands down her face in
exasperation, Allie shifted her weight.
"Just my luck" she muttered, her glare unchanged; "I get legged up by
the skutter equivalent of a cub scout. Where the hell are you going
anyway?"
Swinging his light down the hall, Elwood noted the sound of the
defence fleet returning.
"I was heading for the drive-room, but maybe we should check in with
the pilots instead"
Amazingly, the glare increased.
"WE?!"
"Well, I wouldn't want you to fall over anything else and end up
injured"
"Wow... are you a one of those rare caring skutters?"
"No miss, blood is a pain to wash off the floor"
