Gappiqu sat in silence, as he became shocked at what Dionysia had said. He had never, ever, been sentenced to Skillya. All the times that he was fired, he was secretly transported to another factory, for the Vykkers were interested in their experiment, and were curious in what he might do later in life. But now, they couldn't protect him. He had tried to kill another Slig, he didn't know who, and that wasn't good, not good at all.
Gappiqu stared into the darkness, away from Dionysia, away from anything. He wanted to be alone. Very alone. He wanted to view what he did wrong. What did he do that caused him to become a miserble Slig in the first place? What did he do that ticked off the Odd and made him into a freak of nature? What, was all Gappiqu think of. Even one certain question popped into his mind. Did he want to live anymore?
Gappiqu turned back to Dionysia, to face her oh so attractive self. He couldn't bear to see her risk her life, for him. He loved her, and he wasn't about to let become Mudokon meat, or whatever she was. He groaned at the events before him, and quietily spoke to her. "Dionysia, the reason why I tried to kill this Slig, was because.... my misery in life has caused me to do the unspeakble. Even to murder my brother. You might think that my life is just fine, but it isn't. You see.... I'm not too different from you. I am an experiment, with a Slig past. I was a normal Slig, like any other. And my best friend, my brother, Furz had great fun together. It was the life. I thought my life was perfect."
"Well, it was, until I nearily died. A Mudokon terrorist, caused serious damage at the Vykker Labs I was at. And the crash caused one major event to me. The crash maimed Furz, and knocked out major nerval control in my head. We both needed medical attention. But the Vykkers thought of me as a chance to experiment. They wanted to see if Sligs could survive with legs. So they fixed me up, but this time, with a twist. They spent extra time, giving me Steef legs. That's why I wear these big pants. To cover up my legs, that disturb the Industerial community. But when they gave me legs, the Vykkers didn't realize that Furz needed attention. He died shortily after my operation was finished. They worked on some stupid project, just so they could torment another life. That was the worst day of my life.
I couldn't take losing my best friend, my life, and my respect. So I went psycho, like I am now. And now, I feel like at home. I meet the two most wondeful people in the world. Goresplatter, another Slig like me, and you, Dionysia. You gave me a reason to live. I could have commited sucide a long time ago, but you are the reason for me to live. I... I love you Dionysia. But I can't bear to see you risk your life for me. If I destory the ones I love in my life, why should I live. That's why you must turn me in. I have done enough damage. I need to rest in peace. If this world has nothing, but misery to give to me, I should go somewhere where I don't have to be miserble.
So please. Do what you must. I love you too much to see you suffer. So, take me to this Intern, there, I will love you in a less dangerous life."
And that, ended Gappiqu words. He started to cry in his decision, but he felt like this is what must be done. There was no other choice.

Slap heard what RG said, and was not happy to hear it. He never knew of wildlife being down there. And he certainily didn't what to spend the rest of the day replacing their maimed bodies with machinery. That just wasn't right. Slap sat down on a chair, thinking of what his life at Rupture Farms would be like. And all he could think of was, "Why couldn't Arnie employee more robots? Snoozers are take less time to fix."

Kix followed Anni throughout the Stockyards, to find her future spice garden. And all she saw was tree. She was hoping that there would be more, but at least it was a start.
When she turned to look at Anni, she saw somethings on her hands. Something she didn't see before. At last, Kix regonized it as tattoos. Kix gasped in horror, and whispered to Anni, "Where did you get these?"
