#7 Slig climbed down the stairs and arrived in the main hall on the ground floor. He went past the the workshop and arrived to the Cafeteria. He went to the counter and took a Scrab Leg and a bottle of water. He turned around and saw that Anni was already eating at one of the tables.
"Hey Anni. Mind if I sit down?" asked #7 Slig and sat down. He started eating. "Um, you haven't had any problems lately, have you?" he asked her. He meant 'problems with Sligs', but problems are not only caused by Sligs, he thought. Sligs are usually violent by their nature. "Especially if they have been injected with stimulants..." he thought, with a picture of a BigBro in his mind. He remembered the old times in the Slig Barracks, the brawls, target practices in the Rifle Range... There was always something to do, and Sligs didn't have time for anything else than training. This gave #7 Slig an idea, but he concentrated on the present.

"Yeah, I guess we can use some help at the Labs. There were a few accidents lately. OK, you're hired... What was your name again?" he asked Praetyre. "And what about you?" he turned to the Slig next to Praetyre.
