Upon hearing Arnie's question, the holographic slig smiled and answered calmly :
"Well yes, there is. You would be surprised to know how many we are. Mostly sligs, and I can safely assume that you have already employed a few of them without even knowing it, a few Vikkers and fewer Glukkons. Not that your race have less concern about their workers conditions, but they are aware of the risk of acting as such. Most of us sligs go unnoticed by simulating beating up mudokons. And the Magog Council doesn't want to risk any conflict with the Vikker Conglomerate, as they provided and still provide most of the Industrial technology.
Our main objectives are to enhance the Mudokons conditions inside the Magog facilities and to try to make sligs more independent from the Cartel.
We can be found in almost every level of the Industrial world. From your basic guard who hide food to give it to the mudokons in his sector after lunchtime, to the slig instructor at the Barracks who voluntarily skip the "beat mudokons, get promotion" part not to mention the Vikker scientist who fake testing mudokons only to release them as a part of the test protocol...and so on. We can't change everything in a snap of fingers, but things like this will help us to achieve our goal. We are also designing safer machinery for the Cartel factories. They are currently testing meat-saws and recyclers that does not work as long as a living entity is detected within their action range. And then they pretend it to be a more "efficient, profit-making" model to sell it to the Glukkons. So even the Magog Cartel help us without knowing it.
The Glukkons are also important to our cause as they can do all the paperwork to cover our activities and use their company as testing environment for us. Clearly, they are the root of everything and that's why the Magog try to hit us where it matter the most. And without them... without you, things are meant to stay as they are. With a dozen Glukkons on top of everything and millions of living being who suffer in the all mighty Moolah's name.
My first objective was to warn you and now it is to help you in the best of my ability and keep you out of trouble with the Cartel. Your main concern was the terrorists attacks. Well, we are in touch with those so-called "terrorists" and so far, they have never attacked any of our facility, because they know we are on the same side.
