I love this.... I honestly thought that the Glukkons were just the top boiz of all and had no boss besides their queen. But the idea of these underground mole people does explain the technological advances of the Glukkons. Though I would expect their tech to be even more sci fi than it is as a result of meeting these people.
Actually, I used to think that the reason the Glukkons rose to power was because they were very influential and were good business men who eventually talked their way to the top, whilst they funded the technology developed by the Vykkers. The Vykkers make sense and fit the profile for a highly intelligent and scientific race - they're made to resemble squids and honestly they kind of look like our interpretation of "grey-aliens" , which was my immediate reaction when I first saw them. So does this mean the Vykkers are actually being fed technology by these all-knowing all-powerful Investors too? Or maybe the Vykkers are actually made to secretly reverse-engineer their tech to gain even more knowledge - perhaps as a response to the Investors' attempts to limit the power of the surface? All i know is that the Vykkers and the Gluks are very intertwined, we see evidence of them being being Soulstorm Brewery's development and I'm sure Rupture Farms bought preservatives from them for their food.
Regardless - it all makes you wonder.... How easy could the tables be turned, and the Mudokons be the evil slave runners? It reminds me of a common misconception people have about America's history with slavery. The white man didn't invent it, at least not at that point in history - we bought from an already existing market from corrupt slave kings in Africa, and then shipped that "cargo" back home and eventually we brought them with us to the colonies. So with that in mind.... Maybe MUDOKONS started MUDOKON slavery and we just don't know it yet?
