Chapter 12: The Brewer
Slaga's year in prision was spent. 'About time,' thought Slaga. Even though he was free, he didn't get the 'insane' stamp removed yet. He had hated the stamp. It was embarassing and just plain wrong. Mudokkons can't see him like this. They just can't.
Gertian didn't want Slaga to be seen yet, so he hired him to work in the brewer, a one-person pivate work room. It was scary in their. So much machinery. It looked sharp. In the center of the room was a giant barrel. "That has our brew in it." Said Gertian. Gertian and Slaga looked up at the big barrel. "This is one of our most important machines." Pointed out Gertian. "Then how come anybody uses it?" Asked Slaga. "They do." Replied Gertian. He had Slaga work in this room for yet another year.
They way the brewing machine worked is that there was a control room with a large glass window so that Slaga could see what was happening. The control pad had lots and lots of buttons, but Slaga had memorized them all. This one button will have the barrel loaded up with water. This other one will bring down a big bag of the secret Gertian's Brew mix, and then pour it down in their. There are also other buttons that do other things, but I could go on forever if I tell all of them.
There were also things Slaga couldn't do. He couldn't be around other sligs. They might tease him for what he had done. He also couldn't be around mudokkons. He might go crazy again and shoot them all. Gertian didn't want to lose his employees. The last one was that he was only aloud un the brewing room, and not anywhere else in the factory. This made Slaga wanna free the mudokkons right now. But yet he had realized the time was still not right. "The time will come soon." Said Slaga to himself, "I must wait."
