Shryke cautiosly entered the stump, and then the door closed. He quietly crept in deeper, and came to two paths. Shryke took the right one, and sneaked along onto a high up area. Below were the walk men he had encountered earlier. He was starting to understand the language a little better now.
"So, this Shrykull almost hits me with one of its many lightning bolts, and POW! I stunned it with ba shot to the head, and quickly made my escape"
"Wow! You're kidding, right?"
"Of course not. When you're in top condition like me..."
"Hey! You didn't do that! You just squaled and ran. What REALLY happened was when the thing appeared behind us, I quickly jumped at it and wrestled it to the ground, while everyone else ran screaming..."
"You big fat liar! You almost passed out from shock, and I had to drag you back here! Of course, that was easy enough, I had to carry also..."
(A big bro>)"Hey now, runts! Orders from master Gillik! He says two things:
1. The Mudokons are getting cautious and edgy, so pipe down and be more secretive and not get noticed.
2. You should still be on patrol, what the hell do you think yer doing having a fag down here!?"
"Hey, now, we just got attacked by..."
"ATACKED!? What nonsense is this!? You were supposed not to be noticed by the Mudokons, and there's little those guns can't take down if used correctly...but then again, if you were that good, you'd be more like me, your commanding officer! I'm disgraced..."
"But we were..."
"BUT!? Just shut up already, the main news here I have to give to yer now, becuase I have to go! Gillik says get out there and continue your patrols NOW. Is that understood, men?"
"Yes sir!"
"Now get out there! And I don't want to see yer sorry faces here again within 12 hours! Now, go!"
The Sligs then ran quickly up some stairs, grabbed their equipment and left through a door. Shryke had understood relatively little, but he understood at least that the Sligs were now leaving this area and going elsewhere. And they had something to do with these 'Mudokons' whatever they were. Maybe those green bipeds he had met earlier...? Shryke was about to find a way down when he heard the Sligs footsteps at the end of the bridge he was on. Quickly, he ran back to the entrance to warn Slurp 1 of them, get out the way and explain what was going on afterwards. The Sligs heard him, though, and also ran faster. He quickly reached where Slurp should be, he quickly looked for him, hopefully he hadn't wandered off...
