IC: Shryke was rather shocked at what Slurp said. He was just trying to help generally. He didn't feel, or maybe he didn't even want to be considered more important than anyone else. Slurp had saved him. He'd needed Slurp before, and still needed him as a friend. He looked at Slurp and said "I'm very surprised at what you just said. I do not think that I am a leader at all, nor exactly try to be one 100%. I'm just trying make suggestions and support our cause. And...how can I be promoted to a Fleech's rank? I am no Fleech. I'mnot really...a...anything. I don't think of myself as being of higher rank than anyone else, so you should not regard me as such. You are my equal in every way.
As for fighting off the industrialists, I've just been discussing with Angela here about what we should do next. I proposed a spying operation. I am hoping she comes with us, as she knows them well. I know she is with us, and I know I can trust her. Some Fleeches with us could be helpful, particularly since we can not get into quite as small spaces. I was planning on leaving soon, so if you like, you can gather some other Fleeches and bring them to come with us.If you do, be careful who you choose. They must be able to keep quiet and still. No noisy individuals, please. I'll be waiting here for you."
