Sligs in MO don't notice, they just start shooting at you when you shoot them, or after you've insulted one three times. It's AO where, most of the time, Sligs can tell that their comrade is possessed. Alf has attributed this to Abe's lack of experience, which caused Sligs to stumble about and have a glazed expression.
Regarding Sligs as the Newscaster and Valet, I suppose in some ways it makes little sense as Glukkons see Sligs are being ugly (so why they'd use them to host their news programmes I don't know). But then, on the other hand, I don't know that creating a whole race just for media types would be useful. Each industrial species is meant to represent a factor of human society, and money-grubbing Glukkons, status-obsessed Sligs, sadistic Vykkers and head-in-the-clouds Interns all assume a definite role. Would a species dedicated to the glitziness and glamour of the media be so worthwhile?
