Even though Veggo was a prison guard, he often felt sorry for a lot of the Sligs who ended up in the cells. Quite often it was a Glukkon on an ego trip who sent them down there in the first place. Veggo smuggled in a few cigs and sleepers for the Sligs in exchange for a bit of company and talking. For this, Veggo was respected by a lot of the Sligs in the factory. Veggo got several promotions and is currently the leader of the prison guards.

Often he would come into the solitary confinement area, handing the prisoner a small portable games console that they could play to pass the time quicker. On the next-to-last day, he would take it back, so that management wouldn't find out. He was highly respected and feared by the younger Sligs, even a few of the Glukkons knew not to cross him. They would be happy to do favours for him in return, such as getting cheap cigs or booze.

Gert was a teenage Slig who was still studying at the Young Sliggies Academy. He wasn't the sharpest tool in the shed, but he was surprisingly loyal and friendly to newcomers. He enjoyed listening to rock music and wore a pair of headphones most of the time. He was currently shopping in the nearest retail outlet. He was picking up some food; beanz, instant noodles and Paramite eggs. He was planning to wash this all down with a few bottles of Scrab Smasher.

His best mate, Wirez was around the same age as him and also at the Academy. He was a wizard at technology who enjoyed playing games on his laptop. His favorite game was SligWars, a game set a thousand years in the past when all of the Sligs were having civil wars and stuff (apparently based on a romantic novel written a few hundred years after). He really enjoyed the strategical element to it. He was a gaming pro, going online and beating most of the competitions and contests. He always beat Gert in a one-on-one match, so they often did co-operative mode instead.

Gert was just not into videogames as much as Wirez. They still had plenty of fun together though, they would often play Slig dancing games (these come with a metal dance mat) or play card games like Poker or Blackjack. It was especially funny when they were a bit tipsy first, not that they ever drank more than one pint anyway.
