Chapter 1

Greetings Friends, it’s me Jim. Allow me to continue my story as I recall the worst time of my life. It begins in the Monsaic lines where we lived then and still do now. My condition was worsening; I’d be spending weeks in bed as the chip dominated my brain. It should have been a happy time for my friends but they were worrying about me. I couldn’t blame them; I was unable to move thanks to the virus.
They however were not the only people on Oddworld worrying about me.
My brain sometimes gained information from the chip. It was part of the Vykker program that was built to make the user aware of things that it couldn’t see.
That time a large boardroom appeared in my mind. There were no sligs there, but there were Glukkons, they were all dressed like Glockstars. In the centre was a humungous body with pipes coming from it.
I guessed it was Maggie. Nearby stood a few Vykkers, and with them an Intern. It was half asleep but held a piece of paper with writing on it.
They all looked grim.
“See what you have done my children!” shrieked Maggie.
“It wasn’t us, it was that idiot Flax, he tried to take over the program!” yelled back one of the Glukkons.
Maggie turned to the Vykkers almost squashing them with her immense body.
“If you hadn’t supplied them with that technology you fools!” she screamed.

“It vasn’t our fault, miss” said one
“No ve just supply them vith it!” said another.
“Listen, just shut up. We have already deployed our Slig Army. Once they kill the witnesses and get the chip we will be safe!” said a Gluk

“Sligs are not to be twusted with such a pwecious item!” spoke up a Vykker.
“No but they are expendable, we have an unlimited supply of them and if they are bad Skillya eats turns them into food” answered a Gluk.
“If Skillya interrogates them we’re screwed, she won’t sell us anymore if she finds out” said Maggie
“All we have to do is make sure that the news doesn’t get into the big city,” said another Gluk.

The Intern handed the paper to a Vykker.

“You Glukkons are useless, ve should be in charge!”

The Glukkons began to murmur and yell and quarrel.
“How dare you!” yelled Maggie “Pass me that letter!”
“No I vill keep it!”
“You’ve pushed me too far!” she cried

She put her hand down onto him. He was squashed all over the podium. She grabbed the letter from his corpse.

“This is a lesson for all of you!” she said as a crane like object lifted her huge body up.
“Hurry up we’re leaving!” she yelled at the Shrinks that were suspended nearby.

The image faded from my head as she left the boardroom.

I sighed and closed my eyes. I was so unprepared for the danger that was coming…
