I quickly glanced around and for the first time i noticed that all of my wounds and physical ailments were gone. I now in fact just remembered that i had been in serious pain before. I was perfectly healthy, and i was in peak physical condition. I knew then that we were gonna be used for labor of some great magnitude because of the excellent job they did fixing us. There was only one way i could find out how to escape this horrid room and free my brethren.
"I must go back and listen again!" I said to myself.
**Muds in back**
"I told you that he was crazy!"
"Your right, he is crazy, lets follow him."
Before i entered the vent I sat on the edge of it and gave a little thought about what i was doing. Then i was approached by two mudokons, the frist one outstreched his hand and said,
"Hi, im Joe." he pointed to his companion and said, "This is Tim." I shook Tim's hand as well, "We were wondering......" he trailed off,
"If we could join you." said Tim.
"uhhhh. Sure if you really want to." I hopped down into the vent when i realized that Joe and Tim were right behind me.
**WHUMP**
They landed right on top of me. They wiggled around until our limbs became untangled.
"Geezz you guys!! Watch it next time!" I rolled down the vent, i heard them right behind me. We eventually reached the grate in the wall. The intern sat fast asleep at his post.
"Whats your name?" Tim asked me.
"My name is Ben."
"Well Ben, you need to possess that intern, can you do it?"
"I'll try." I concentreted as hard as i could on being that intern, i started to chant and move my hands in pattern. This weird felling came over me, i opened my eyes, i saw what i normally saw, but when i thought about that intern, i saw what he saw. I slowly staggered him out of the room. Now i just had to find that vykker.
I "saw" him sitting at a table, with two hareless fuzzles. He non-chalantly pulled out their eyes and exchanged them. Now, i just had to try talking.
"Ben, tell him to say, 'Hey boss, could you tell me what the plan is again,' Tell him to say that." These guys sure looked dim, but they had figured out what i was doing. I tried his suggestion.
"M-M-M-P-P-P-H-H-H M-M-P-P-P-H-H H-MMMMM?"
The vykker gave the intern a blank stare.
"What are you talking about?" he said, "My mother has been dead for 8 years!" Apparently whatever i said was way off, "Look, what did you really want?" He said as he tapped his stubs on the floor. This was my last chance, if i screwed up again, that vykker would probably kill my intern.
I concentrated.
"Mmmh mmph mppph mhhp."
"Oh you idiot! How could you forget the plan?!?"
"Good job Ben."
