To tell you the truth, Shrink made me nervous, I don't know why paticularly but I just felt uneasy around him, his giant mechanical body made me feel uncomforatable, and his mudokon face was a contradiction of what he was made to do. He was to there to make sure slaves became slaves and more slaves kept coming.

"I know about the Vykker's plan." He said as we were walking towards the door. "I know he didn't tell you everything, because I know all of the plan."

"How do you know the plan?" I said in question. He whirled around to face me.

"How do you think I know it? I'm the only one with direct acsess to Sam besides that horrible Vykker!" he paused, "but what he divulged to you was not the complete plan. His real plan goes much deeper than he led you on." He 'closed' his eyes temporarily. "I want out of this place!"

I looked at him.
"Why can't you leave?"

"You stupid creature, do you think these Vykkers are going to let me waltz on out of here?!? I'm a prisoner as much as you are, but my purpose will be over quite soon." His face grew very bitter, "I hate these Vykkers, I hate them more than anything, even more than the Glukkons! The Glukkons took better care of me." He raised a few of his robotic arms, they squeeked with rust. "These damn things don't care about me, not anymore. Once they finish the expiriments on Sam, I'll be useless." He stood silent for a moment and lowered his head, I nervously turned and said,

"The Glukkons looked after you once?" He lifted his head back up. "Where did they keep you then?"

He sighed and said,
"Sam and I were kept on moving trains which came from Feeco Depot. It was simple back then, we would make egg drop-off's at various slaughter houses and breweries, and then be on our way. Things were going fine until it was decided that it was too risky for Sam and I to remain there with Abe on the loose. So the Glukkons made a deal with the Vykkers. If the Vykkers kept Sam and my own location carefully hidden from the Mudokon rebels, the Glukkons would give partnership rights to the slig Queen Skillya. The Vykkers, sick of their stupid Intern security force, gladly excepted the new, more battle hardened troops of sligs. So here I am, trapped like a Scrub in a slaughter house because of these stupid power hungry beasts."

I didn't want to ask him, but I had to.

"What expiriments are they performing on Sam?"
He turned to me once again.

"Look through this door, and you will see the terrifying horrors which befell your Queen." One of his rusty probes pushed open the door.

The door creeked and swung open slowly. Light from inside the room hit me in the eyes. Once my eyes adjusted I was not prepared for what I gazed upon.

"Oh Ben, this was quite unexpected."

"Sujalin?" I said quietly.
