In quite a few ways this is quite a lot like a detective story. I like the plot twists and the action sequences. Germ is brilliant and Finklar is a very pleasant Vykker as well. It's interesting how you have them in direct contact with Oddworld's main character, which is quite an interesting choice as a writer. I look forward to the conclusion of this story.

Edit: I've thought of giving some of my Slig characters hair you know? Or else some kind of high-tech wig. Anyway, Oddey does deserve some +rep. Great job so far
What you don't know is, this is meant to be a form of detective story. That's what I decided from the very begining, because I noticed there didn't seem to be any mystery fan-fics here.

You can try the hair thing, but that feels like it's pushing it. High-tech wig seems a bit better.

its brilliant how you can keep a character's profile so secure and solid when mixing with so many other interesting characters. for example, when Finklar was being consulted by the loony fortune teller, he retained an upper class attitude by what he said "Yes, yes... Very enlightning. I will be taking my leave.", and yet the other characters remained as they had before.

in other words you stick to the character's personality and dont change the way they would act.
and i actually laughed quite loud when i read about Germ having a moustache (i just find the thought of a slig having a moustache very amusing), and being wary of someone with seventy-two legs.

but it would be very sobering if they actually came true.

+rep for making me laugh Oddey, +rep indeed.
I've never even noticed, but it's just what I might have said, traded into upper class words.

Yeah... That's not the most simplest thing to do, but it's easy when you find the proper personalities. I tried very hard to make them just as crazy as the war veterans. Seventy-two legs came out of nowhere.

I was actually considering making one of them come true, but that would kind of make one of them more down to earth than the others.

Thank you for your kind words. And the pos rep!
