"Soulless vessels. I wonder how you were able to do that. That is not an easy task, and surely was done by something powerful." As I say this I make sure to keep my ears open for the guy in back of me as I look forward. "That is very strong power which has fallen into the wrong hands. While it is a service, is it not so hard as to pay the people for their business or find a less destructive way. Your unjust decisions make me sick."

"Your disgust is noted. Do not think though the I lack sympathy. My kind heart is the very reason that I accept these beasts into my facility. Were I unkind, I would refuse and then they would surely just be slaughtered. No doubt by guards just like yourself."

"What happened to them to make them soulless exactly. Even the meanest person usually has a soul! Who did it exactly?"
After saying this I feel a kick in my sand cape. Loosening it I see my wass fall out onto the ground. I quickly pick him up as I watch the man in front and listen for the man in back.

"Im not so sure about the details myself, but more than occasionally one of these savages is seen rampaging around the town. I have them brought into here, and then put them to work."

"So you are saying that someone outside your knowledge causes them to be barbaric. Well still no matter how it is, the fact you are having them filter water like slaves is not right. Furthermore, for the guards to be in on it, what do they get out of it! This is surely unjust, and someone needs to be punished!"

"The guards get someone to take these men off their hands. Are you so simple to think that no matter how savage they are that people could be slaughtered endlessly by officials without the people taking notice or action?"

*the man starts to become vexed and his voice steadily escalates.*

"It is FOOLS like you who bring about the end of cultures! Who punish men for their genius! DONT BE SO NAIVE! I have done nothing wrong and neither have the guards! We are simply making the best out of a situation! These soulless...MINDLESS men cannot be allowed to wander the streets! In prison they would even bring about the death of others who crimes are less severe. We cannot simply execute them all! DONT YOU SEE!? this is the best.....NO! This is the only way of dealing with the situation!

If you think the situation so wrong then find another way yourself. They cannot be tamed nor soothed. Do you even understand what it means to have ones soul removed!? Speak not of matters that you dont understand!"

Without word I take out my stomp blades and quickly cut him down the middle. "You are the true fool. A man who lost his soul may be nothing of a brute, but surely they can be tamed and taught to be somewhat civil, and surely deserve better. You probably think some creatures are the same way. You are the fool with underestimating the true power that everything- even those without souls have. Without a value for your own life you can not value the lives of those around you, including these men. They are not mere pets. If you can train them to filter water than surely they still have some brain, some thoughts in them. They have wants too. It would not be so bad if they had some fresh water for themselves to drink, some fresh food to keep them nourished, and a nice place to be able to relax. They will only act like savages if treated like them. Why do I bother talking to a guy such as you." As I finish saying that I quickly swing my blades to remove some blood on them. I then turn around to face the other person.
"You, you are worth talking to. You have an appreciation for your life, and so you should understand their plight. I leave it up to you to make things better for them. Water should not be a profitable business, or not as much as it is. While making some GC is not bad, for it will limit the water use, too much profit means greed. If you are a truly foolish being, as many humans are, do not heed my warnings, but if you know what is right, you will do what I said." With that I start to make my way out with my wass in hands to see the enslaved men. Studying them for a while I try to see anything that may give a hint of animal (or human) behavior.

After giving a rather lengthy speech to a corpse, koku returns to the facility. The men work laboriously.

Koku · Posted: Tue Feb 24, 2009 10:26 pm Post subject:

I continue to watch them as they work, they were obviously trained, so I figure they still must have some hope for them to get better. I go back to the entrance and wait a little bit hoping someone else will come down.

Still not knowing of the demise of their boss, the supervisors work on assuming that you were persuaded to be quiet by the man in charge.

I look around for another corridor, if there is none I plan to go back to the bosses quarters to see if there is anything helpful there.

Returning to the bosses room, koku takes another look around. It seems that there are a few items on his desk. A leather bound notebook, and some loose papers as well as a shoddy calendar are in plain sight.

Koku · Posted: Thu Feb 26, 2009 2:25 pm Post subject:

I first take a look at the notebook to see if there are any important dates, such as when the first worker was brought in. I then look at the papers to see what they say.

The calendar details information for this month only. Looking at whats scribbled upon it, there are several dates noted for shipments of supplies(such as water filters and food for the workers, as well as one odd order of new boots for the supervisors).

Looking over the papers they are rather less exciting than anticipated and seem to be reciepts for water being sold to retailers.

Seeing nothing of importance there I look for any locker-like containers to try to ply open. There must be a hint somewhere and I will find it.
