IC:
The sunlight broke on Colonel Vernel's face, his enhanced eyes picking it up in perfect clarity. He had stood for the last half an hour waiting for the bus to return, for the first shipment of workers to arrive. He then saw the gate open like a FeeCo trains door, a large bus riding through and running towards him, stopping just short. It then turned, it's Intern driver (Domino) turning its side towards Vernel. The driver then turned off the bus, walking down the bus line and opening the door like he had in his previous career 1000 times.
5 Sligs, 1 Big Bro Slig, 1 Steef, 3 Mudokons, 1 Chronicler, and 1 Vykker all stepped out, then Domino walked back near Vernel and his bodyguard Banner.

Banner stood playing the Magog National Anthem on the drums, dumbly looking at his boss with cheerful eyes.

Vernel looked approvingly at his slave Banner, and produced several documents, all of them contracts, all of them colour coded. He spoke, his Slig tones harsh, fast, firm, and quick.
"Greetings to all new employees or slaves of Camp #7002. I greet you as your new boss Colonel Vernel Sligwell, or #1000, if you want to anger me and treat me like an inferior being, and incur the wrath of my weapon. Camp #7002 is a camp that has been established for the purposes of security for the island of Porline and its surrounding areas. My great and noble master, the honourable and beneficient General Dripik, wishes to use this facility as a building block for future operations in the Southwest of Mudos. His mysterious purposes are not mine to speculate, but I think that he is aiming to become even higher and get a promotion to Marshal from his master, the even more great, noble, honourable, and beneficient Molluck.
Anyway, that is not your or mine's business or even suitable for discussion in a disciplined security facility. I hold in my hand three contracts, two of them short nutshell versions coloured black and blue for security and labour respectively, and the third a full contract coloured gold for financial and medical labour. All Sligs, and that Steef come over and use my pen to sign your contract. All Mudokons, sign your contract. Everyone else here, sign your contract.
Any attempts to blaspheme the natural order and sign a contract not yours will be met with severe force from my sla.. bodyguard Banner."

Banner threatingly flexed his muscles at the other Big Bro, eager to keep him down.
