WHO: Prince Gorak
WHERE: Suid Sidal

All wait for the translator box on a side table to fart out Gorak’s message. Then an ugly monoquid slithers out of the water like a snake and makes some disgusting noises.

Translator: "We. Not. Like. Color. Other. Room. General. Welcome. This. Room. Congratulations. New. Command. Why. You. Here."

The general can hear some pounding on the door to the room now.

Gorak: "Thank you. I am here because the former captain, Pupuhed, has escaped and is trying to take back the ship."

Translator: "Pity. With. Captain. Fed. Us. Well. What. Make. Loud. Noise. Outside."

Gorak: "Some one wants to get in."

Translator: "No. Louder. Noise. Earlier."

Gorak: "Oh. That was a bomb. Pupuhed’s men are sorting that out. The rest of them want to get in."

Translator: "General. Need. Help."

Gorak: "The situation could be better."

Translator: "Feed. Us. Well. We. Help."

Gorak: "I have a better idea. I give you permission to feed yourselves. But ONLY on Deck 5B. Is that understood?"

Translator: "Yes. Thank. General."

Moments later a large assortment of disgusting and slimy podquids of all shapes and sizes jump out of the pool of water and land balanced on extended muscular tentacles. Gorak is amazed to see them all standing upright. Well, all except for the monoquid Ambassador which is still lying there snake-like.

The general is also amazed at how exceedingly ugly the podquids are. And how many needlelike fangs can be visible in their heads. They all walk over very ably to the room’s door and wait there smelly and fearsome. Gorak unlocks the door for them.

Monoquids are the smallest and most intelligent caste of podquids. They also have the least amount of teeth.
