LiefurHow many teeth did you say those things have? Over three thousand? Because I think I feel every one of them.Co'overmaStop complaining; she barely grazed you. Besides, this gave us solid evidence of changes in nexu maternal behavior as a result of- You! What do you know of the plight of the endangered nexu?Hero of TythonDid some sort of creature attack your friend?Co'overmaOh, he's just my assistant.Barsen'thorDo we know you?Co'overmaI am the voice of the voiceless, protector of the nexu, the most beautiful, intelligent, adaptable-LiefurGiant, drooling cat monsters with big pointy spikes....Co'overmaLiberated zoo specimens started a thriving population here on Taris. But the sows are starting to frenzy because their pups are being stolen. Blasted scavengers!VoidhoundYou're crazy.LiefurWhat an incredibly smart thing to say. Why didn't I think of that?Co'overmaYou shut up. We're making a difference here.LiefurYeah. I eat through a tube now. That's different....Hero of TythonWhy would they go after cubs? Are nexu good eating or something?Co'overmaSome unscrupulous piles of dung think it's fun to throw helpless animals into gladiatorial pits so people can laugh while they're cut to pieces.LiefurMost of the time, the nexu win-Co'overmaI'd go after those scavengers myself, but I, uh, lost all feeling in my blaster hand--LiefurTo a nexu love bite.MeteorYou're being a little vague. I don't like it when horribly mauled people are vague with me.Co'overmaGo into the scavengers' camp and destroy the cages they're using to trap nexu. What could be simpler?LiefurNot going into the scavengers' camp and destroying the cages they're using to trap nexu?Barsen'thorWe are here to restore Taris's environment, not destroy it further.Co'overmaThank you. I knew I wasn't alone in wanting to see a thriving nexu colony.LiefurI think they ate outpost five....Co'overmaI have given all my worldly possessions to the cause of animal rights. But Liefur would be happy to pay you.LiefurI would not!Co'overmaAnd I control his accounts while he's convalescing. Just go to the scavengers' camp, to the southeast. Destroy their cages and they won't be able to trap nexu anymore.MeteorCan't say much for nexu, but we're always up for wiping out scavengers.Co'overmaPerfect. I knew I liked you.LiefurShe also likes rancors - it's not a big compliment.Co'overmaThe best thing to do is hit the scavengers' main compound. Destroy all the cages and they can't take another nexu.Barsen'thorHow can it be right to take the lives of sentients in defense of mere beasts?Co'overmaSentients build cities, destroy planets, wipe out entire species. They don't need anyone to stand up for them.LiefurExcept when they're being snacked on by nexu.Co'overmaThese scavengers spend their whole lives tearing helpless babies from their loving mothers-LiefurNexu mothers eat their young.Co'overmaIf you want to help, you could go to the main scavenger camp and destroy the cages they're using to trap nexu. |
