Stivik entered Arnie's office, leering. "Hey Boss, this isn't a bad time? Cus I thought you should know that one of the muds has turned psychopathic. That mud Anni who got in that trouble with Nick when I first got here? Well she strikes again. Yesterday I caught her trying to escape through the stockyards. When I stopped her she grabbed my gun off of me and tried to shoot me with it. That's just the first time. Later on that day I saw her heading into the ruined sections of Rupture Farms and I went after her to see what she was up to. Then in front of witnesses she tried to grab my gun off me again. Fortunately I'd loaded it with tranquilisers thinking she'd be up to something so I managed to push her off and put her to sleep. The vykker Dek was here, and the slig Razer, both saw. Dek decided we should carry her to his lab so we took her there where she broke free somehow," He decided it might be better to not mention the spiritual powers, that had a habit of either sending glukkons over the edge or making them break down to the point of screaming that you're lying, "And again tried to kill me, she stabbed be with an unknown syringe, I'm lucky to have survived that and again Dek was there as a witness. We put her in a cage overnight in the lab. This morning I sent to check up on her. She pretended to be ill so I opened the cage to check up on her and she leapt out at me and attacked me again! I had to fight her off and keep fighting to the point where I had to knock her out to defend myself. That's four times she's tried to kill me and I'd like to see her dead before she tries again. I've given her second chances knowing just one attempt for a mud to kill a slig meant death as a punishment, but she kept trying. She's not safe to keep here, who's she going to go for next?"

In a tiny passage behind the room Jim stepped back and looked at Anni in shock. He whispered, "Is that true?"

Dionysia looked skeptical, "And what do you want us to do? Aren't you meant to organise these things?" She looked around at the general mess that was the grinders, "I don't know about the mudokons but I don't kno anything about mechanics."
