[Gretin]

Sefon guesses that Stivik is transmitting this conversation (well, he's going to transmit it), but he doesn't realize just what it's for. He's starting to see that Stivik is trying to get Arnie into trouble, at least.

Sefon:"Why would they even want to come here? It's not like there's 99 mudokons enslaved here; on the contrary, there's very few and they are here of their own will, which is saying something. Besides, 'terrorist' is just a label you industrials stick on anyone who doesn't fit in with the way you like things done. Even I've been called a 'terrorist' once.

Groll (muttering):"Gee, big surprise there."

Sefon:"We need more mudokons here, it's a well known fact that mudokons work harder than sligs."

Groll stopped and turned sharply to face Sefon.

Groll:"Oh, yeah? Stivik here may not know where you came from, but I do, and you know as well as I do that where you and I came from, most sligs worked just as hard as the muds. If they didn't..."
He lifted his hand up to his neck and made a cutting motion.

Groll:"And remember that dumb friend of yours, who broke the switch when he was busy daydreaming and just about blew me up? Or that time that you fooled the sligs into believing that the muds could have the rest of the day off? The muds were pretty lazy back there, if I remember right."
