EverE Industries

[Angder]

Angder sat on the operating table he was on earlier... Working together... big plans... Do I... hang around.... where will I go otherwise... Oh shit... may as well see where this goes...

Angder rested his head on his hand. "I must be insane" he mutters.

[Jacob Hail]

Jacob glanced around nervously as they walked across the factory floor, tail nearly on end as they made their way to where ever the engineer was leading them. Normally their actions might of raised cause for concern, but the shark was playing it off nicely, going on about some made up project he would need the runners help for. Jacob couldnt really focus on it. Andrew led the two runners into a service tunnel, going over to an eletrical box and opening it up. "Alright, we can talk here. But you better shut up quickly if someone else comes in."

Nodding, 496 began to speak. "First off, I need to know, can you remove the ID collars? If you can, ill explain why." After the engineer nodded, the hyena went on. "We need someone to access the medical ward posing as one if the staff. That someone being Jacob. But in order to do that we cant have him wearing an ID tag he'll get caught instantly."

Andrew looked at them with a look of half confusion and half craziness. "Why the hell would you ever want to do that?!" He hissed. "You do understand what the punishment would be if they caught you right? MY punishment when they find out i helped? I know youre searching for freedom but it better be a damn good plan!"

The hyena waited for him to finish before speaking up again. "We know the risks, but we cant do this without your help. We can only take a few of us with us, and there us ine more spot left. For you. Will you take it?"

Andrew stared off into the open panel, thoughts running through his head. But eventually, he let out a sugh and turned to them. "Im in."

[Angder]

Angder looked down at the mask in his hand... he had barely taken in the fact frost had given it to him until now, he had caught it on instinct. he turns it over, thoughtfully...

He glances over at the camera. Moving over to it like a zombie. he reaches out, and, expressionless, turns it to face the wall. He then grins, hopefully they would write it off as a crazy worker, rather than an escape attempt. He put the mask on over his face, it fit fairly well...

He once again felt the itchy feeling of his collar on his neck, slightly too tight, he was half tempted to try to cut it off with his blade, but putting a sharp object so close to his neck seemed unnecessarily dangerous. but trying to sneak out with it visible was unlikely to work.

He moved over to one of the other workers, a lizard, he seemed to be unconscious, probably for the best... Angder reached down, and carefully cut a large strip from the lizards shirt, thick enough to hopefully cover the collar. It was fortunate some of the medics experimented on themselves, otherwise this really would be impossible, still, he had a suspicion it was not going to work.

Oh and so WHAT? does it REALLY matter? Lets just go stick it as far as possible to those **censor** maybe I should forget escape and shove that blade somewhere painful for the factory and th~

Angder stopped himself, he had to try to get out, that was his goal, if he got a chance to kill the iron goddess, one of the medics, or that damn Tiger, he would. For now he wanted out. He tied the strip around his neck, covering the collar as best he can, he then moved to the door, unsteady due to his mechanical leg.

He just had to pray no-one was waiting for him just outside...

[Cinder42]

"You'll never get out." Jackson said from the now open door, his face clean of any emotion. "She'll dice you up good." He ignored any reaction from the other creatures in the room and took a step inside. "There's no way out of here. There's no world out of hear, there's no where to go."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Frost skipped pleasantly along the walkway, her freshly washed paws pattering on the metal. She stopped in from of the grand door of the CEO's office, opening it with no restraint or regard and trotted inside. "Hello auntie!" She chirped, bounding up beside the chair where the older canine sat.

Fem was stoic, but managed a small smile and an acknowledgement of the youngster's presence. "You're late, Frost. And I am a very busy dog, you had better make this remarkably swift." She swung her chair around with surprising strength, facing the little, white canine head-on.

Frost's grin slipped a little and she cleared her throat nervously. "Sorry Auntie..... I was busy with a new project....."

Fem raised an eyebrow. "I trust it was a successful one? We only have so many workers you know, and I would hate to have to send out another job opening."

Frost's smile returned and she nodded enthusiastically. "Oh yes! This one was simply wonderful! I want to show him to you in person soon! All he needs is a little more work but I can do it, promise!" She opened her mouth to explain further but stopped herself, blushing slightly and flattening her ears.
Fem leaned forward curiously.
"I want him to be a surprise.....!" Frost giggled, wagging her tail.

Fem's eyes narrowed. "You know I haven't got all day." She hissed, her hackles bristling.

Frost's tail stopped wagging immediately and tucked between her hind legs as she cowered away from her. "P-please Auntie, I just want you to be super impressed and surprised when he's done!" She whimpered, slinking closer to the iron goddess.

Fem glared down, her cold, mechanical eyes meeting the sniveling canine's wide, watery ones. They stayed like that for seconds, grinding away in dead silence. Finally, it was broken by an exasperated sigh. Fem rolled her eyes and looked down at Frost. "I guess you need to get your man ready before you bring him home to your family." A small smile tinged her muzzle.

Frost grinned wide and threw her paws around Fem in an unreciprocated hug. "Awwww Thank you Auntie! I won't let you down! Promise!"

Fem slowly pried the white canine off and have a simple nod. "Now go ahead and get back to work."

Frost snapped her paw to her forehead in a mock solute and marched out the door, on her way back to the infirmary.

Fem groaned, spinning her chair back around to her piles upon piles of paperwork. She lifted a pen in her paw. "Stupid pup....."

[Angder]

Angder hurried down the corridor, so far he had met no-one, but he could hear medics and guards all around him, he had to get out... but where to?

Not important, He had no idea where he was, or where things were in relation to him, he ran aimlessly through the medical wing, his mechanical leg making far more noise than he would like...

He would find something if he can evade detection... perhaps there was an exit in the medical wing... Prehaps he would finally have freedom. Yeah, and perhaps said doors will be unguarded, and will have a device for regrowing limbs... this is hopeless.

[Jacob Hail]

496 quickly spun around as Jackson talked, snarling and swearing under his breath. "This dosent involve you 002, turn around and walk away. Now." Andrew held up and hand to the hyena and pushed passed him, shoving Jacob along. "Go and do what you have to do, we can handle this." He whispered into the foxes ear and shoved him out the door. The shark let out a long sigh and rubbed his forehead, turning to Jackson. "Look 002, I know this may seem like a bad idea, but its not. The world out there is so much better then in here, and if you saw it you would agree. Hell, I can show you! I can come back with an armed militia and break you out! But i have to get out first. I WANT to get out of here. 147 and 496 want to get out of here. Please, im begging you, just walk away and forget whatever you saw and heard. Leave us to our fates."

Jacob hurried along, feeling like he was going to have a nervous breakdown. The plan hadnt even started and already someone found out. But he managed to collect himself, taking deep breaths as he set his mind to his mission. He needed a medics uniform, so he needed to kidnap a doctor. And there was only one who knew his face. The grayfox spotted Frost making her way from the CEOs office and climbed the scaffolding to catch up to her, jogging up to the wolf. He froze for a moment when he approached her, staring at her trying to form words. "H-h-hey-y I ne- need to sp-peak to you."

[Cinder42]

Jackson looked at the shark, shaking slightly. There was more life in his eye than before but he still looked hollow. "Wouldn't you rather just stay here? Stay in line, do your job. You'll be safe, I'm sure of it!" His voice cracked and his tail tucked between his legs. "You just have to keep Fem happy! She was nice when she was happy!" His teeth ground as his eye welled slightly with tears. "There's no where to go, no way out of here! This is all there is!" His voice was slowly rising in volume.

Frost turned to the worker and smiled brightly. "Well hello my little canvas! Ready for your tour of the infirmary?" She spoke perkily, putting an arm around his shoulder.

[Jacob Hail]

Andrew put a hand on Jackson, looking into his eyes and giving him a small smile. "But there is man, there is so much more out there. Have you ever seen the ocean 002? I can tell you it is the most beautiful thing you will ever see, and the CEO isnt going to take you there, no matter how nice she pretends to be. We arnt safe here, and every day I have to watch my back so im not hauled up to the chop shop. 496 says he has a plan to get out, and if it has any chance of working we have to get out. I know this has been your home, the only place you know, but this is a very horrible place compared to were ive been. Inside here Im just factory number 104, but out there I am Andrew Farrier! Thats who I am, and you can be someone else too. You dont have to be 002 anymore.

Jacobs ear twitched at the word canvas, his body tensing as the medic wrapped her arm around him. "Eh n-not exactly, I still have some stuff to do. But there is someone hurt in the east maintenance tunnel  and a-and I figured since I couldnt join you in the hos-spital Id come get you t-to give you a shot with this guy." By now the fox was pratically shaking from nervousness, trying his best at flashing a smile.

[Cinder42]

Frost cocked her head curiously, debating. She was pretty happy with her little masterpiece, didn't want to keep him waiting, maybe he'd want a friend though, he seemed a bit down in the dumpies. She blinked and smiled, giving a quick nod. "Why don't you bring him up to the Infirmary doors and I'll meet you there, I want to show you something too!"

[Jacob Hail]

Jacobs eyes widened a bit, he hadnt planned for her not wanting to come with him. "I actually, uh..." he stopped and thought for a moment. "Do you think you could show me where they keep the stretchers?"

[Angder]

Angder ducked into a side room as a pair of medics walked by, what he saw inside shocked him beyond words, on the operating table was a wing, it must have belonged to a worker once, but now it was on it's own, yet they had strapped it down, and it looked like they had been... experimenting on it, many of the feathers were replaced with some kind of aluminum foil... Angder felt physically ill... of course they don't waste the bits taken! but this...

Angder staggers out of the room, and right into the path of a guard...

[Cinder42]

Frost pointed to the infirmary with her tail. "Right over here, sweety!" She said brightly, reaching for the worker's hand. "We wouldn't just leave them out here to get all dirty, would we?" She began to tug him towards the dreaded doors. "Dirt and grime on the patients makes it hard to see where to cut."

Jackson shivered at the shark's touch, looking at him pleadingly, his eyes wide and watery. "Please....."

[Jacob Hail]

Jacob closed his eyes and took a silent deep breath, letting the medic guide him along. He had to calm down, or risk his nervousness making him screw up and ruin the plan. The fox tried to think back to normal hospitals, how kind and friendly everyone was, and then told himself that thats allll this was. And the person dragging him along was just another nurse. Reopening his eyes, he smirked a little, feeling more confident. "No, of course not. I assume you keep the stretchers in a clean place along with the other supplies right? Oh, also, we may need a blanket too. The cause of injury was a fallen shelf, gashed the guy open pretty well so we need something to cover the wound while we transport him. Infections are not fun when trying to make art right?"

"No 002, I asking you, please, let us go through with this." Andrew gave Jackson a warm smile, but caught 496 out the corner of his eye, tapping his wrist and motioning to hurry up. "Please, take a walk with me 002." The shark said.

[Angder]

Angder was lifted off the floor by the guards, one of them kept a gun pointed at him as they dragged him back towards the infirmary, ahead of them, Angder heard a familiar voice... Frost. Angder tries to reach his surgical mask, wanting to remove it before Frost sees him.

[Cinder42]

Jackson took a deep breath, nodding nervously as his ear twitched.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Frost trotted along the girders with the fleshy little worker, swiftly rounding a corner to see a sight that stopped her dead for a moment. She cocked her head at the guards carrying her masterpiece back to his bed, her eyes wide, but calculating, like a wild deer approached by someone, and deciding weather or not to bolt. Those eye locked with Angder's and her ears drooped. He still wasn't happy, was he?
