Do you mean look at the circles where the spooce would have been placed? If so, I guess it is logical that they have a symbol that looks like the storm circle, though I've never thought to look at it

Maybe I'm misunderstanding you paramiteabe but I really don't think Stranger is going to be able to order mudokons around, only abe can do that.

and thirdly, the gibberish/foreign language talk that the Big Bro says is just what the sligs say to each other normally (ie when you aren't possessing one and using gamespeech). You can hear it any other time that there are a few sligs near each other. It is similar to the native mudokon conversations. I suppose OWI just put in some dialog that sounds like speech rather than write a whole speech engine for the few times that they need it.
