Omar sighed and breathed a mouthful of cold air, seeing is breath rise as white smoke in the cold night-time atmosphere. The train skidded and ground as it pulled into one of the Mine’s main gates, the doors flew open and Omar and his fellows stood up.
“Remember” Omar whispered to James and the others. “ Keep cool, we don’t want out cover blown”
James nodded. “Ulahborah, ceh foorthec Omar,?” He said.
Omar whipped around. “Shut your mouth!” He hissed. “You can’t speak Native here, the sligs won’t understand our language and we want to come across as friendly as possible!”
“I’ve brushed up the more common dialects” Charlie replied He wasn’t a very stable mud.
And this was his first mission.
“Sorry Omar” James replied.
Omar nodded. “No native language, understand!?”
James looked puzzled; he wasn’t used to switching away from the indigenous language all the time.
“shestalla?!” Omar sighed despairingly.
“Oh, yeah I understand” James smirked. “Lead the way Omar!”
Omar lead the two of them from the train, the platform was empty, apart from a small group of sligs and a vyyker. Who stood eagerly awaiting the arrival of such valuable business partners. The whole place was grey andiron built, such an ugly blemish on the land which for the sake of geographical ease we will call “The Monsaic lines”
“Hello sirs ” The vyyker said reaching out a hand. Which Omar shook.
“And which mudokon tribe do you represent?” The vyyker asked.
Omar smiled. The vyyker had bought their story. “Oh .. The Netchtach Tribe!” He replied. “We’re very happy to be working with you!”
“Excellent!” The vyyker laughed clapping his hands. “ Always good to have some prestigious natives working with us! You’ll be staying in a house just near the base of the structure, the guards will escort you”
“Thank you” Omar replied. “Shall we”
The sligs beckoned them to follow and they walked from the platform. Omar sneered as he stared up at the black stone face of the mine. The very building they hoped to destroy.
The industrialists were none the wiser.
