I think the flying slig ment that if he catches Abe, he would get paid a good amount.

Perhaps he was just thinking of the reward offered for Abe's capture. That would come seperate to wages (if there are any).

They've been raised to be subservient to the glukks. It's pretty well ingrained by now. What's more, even if they don't get payed, they do get certain benefits from servitude, like pants, guns and the ability to beat up weaker creatures as the mood takes them.

anyway...
if a sligs begins to show some bad attitude towards his glukkon masters,
then he is send back to Skillya... and most likely comes out as a SligBurger.

unless they kill them before they are sent back, the muds will be the slig's slaves.

Sligs dont like Glukkons, but they try not to show that. This is why when a Glukkon dies, the Slig will laugh, but NEVER kill the Glukkon himself........unless ordered to of course.

well we don't know, you see if the sligs weren't programmed to not kill them, you may have never known what a glukkon is.

without solid orders given by the gluks I'm not sure the slig will be able to keep the muds as slaves

its all a matter of perception, its slavery, because they have to do thier job all thier life (with breaks i assume)
But in another way, its not slavery, they get pay, pants gunz, etc etc,

blah blah

It really depends on your definition of slavery. For all the apparent perks sligs get, the fact is that they have no choice about being indentured to a lifetime of servitude. So I would call that slavery.
