[Munch's Master]

Dek backed off for a moment, surprised, but then glanced at the paramite apparently called Somi, and then turned to Anni.
"Ah yes, I remebmer you now. Yo uwere there when that robot Slig attacked Arthur weren't you? Well, you acted rather unusual then, speaking as though he was your friend when he was clearly a homicidal maniac, and now you're saying I can't examine the creature. Is your strange behaviour due to your colour, or your brain? Either way have a chill pill, as, my dear mudokon, I am a surgeon, I don't just run around hurting things, I help injured people. I need to check this scrab to make sure it isn't injured. If it isn't then I can try and communicate with it, as apparently it can talk."
He glanced back at Somi, then returned his gaze to Anni
"It seems though; that this paramite can talk as well. Is this a mutation, or natural, as you seem to know it well?"

Inside Dek was excited, this weird mudokon may just fall for his plan, and allow him to get the Scrab, and with some luck, the Paramite as well. He could be rich overnight.
