"Hey! Does anyone here know where I might find the gluk in charge?" called a Mudokon from one of the tables. Arnie answered loudly. "Right here, come on over."
He turned back to see a newcomer (Silph). Arnie has not seen anyone like him before. After he got over the initial surprise, he spoke. "It depends. What kind of traits or skills do you have? Are you good at anything specifically?"
While listening in the conversation with one aural sensor, RG turned his head to see a commotion in front of the Cafeteria counters. A small Mudokon (Tiro) was lying on the ground, not too far from a BigBro Slig (Tiny) who was dangling a Slig (Scarface) by the arm. He also saw Rick standing at the counter, apparently dumbfounded by the proceedings in front of him.
After analyzing the situation, RG turned away. "Organic brats are a nuissance in a factory environment. They have no real labor value." He though it was unnecessary to interfere.
Rick, on the other hand, was thinking differently. He dropped his Scrab Leg and went over. He remembered the kid from earlier. From the looks of it, he was beaten rather badly. He turned to the Slig the BigBro was holding. "What's wrong with you? Beating up a kid like that?"
