Master Felix:

You are too confident with your electrolik devices. The Black Guards are not stupid: They are perfectly able to understand the stake of a situation, from the simple existence of a radio communication, even if they are unable to decode it. There was numerous examples. It is however what we did, we Rastalikpas, during the guerilla against the Phallos in Jamalike: We did not knew how to read, but when we were seeing the Phallos exchanging written messages, we knew they were up to something.

So when we heard you calling for reinforcements, I suggested to make a complete radio blackout, so that they were not suspicious. But in reality we were waiting for them in front of the palace door, as they would certainly pass this way.

Master Marlikpa:

It was you, all these cars in front of the gate?

Master Felix:

Yes, it was our operation. There always are cars in this place, even at this hour. The Black Guards would not suspect anything. Even you, you did not noticed.

Master Marlikpa:

Yes, but in the last moment they changed their mind, they turned just before entering.

Master Silenius:

Yes, we were all surprised, but we soon realized that they were trying to attract you somewhere. So our ruse worked much better than expected. Then we continued to follow you, along parallel streets so that they could not see us.

Master Marlikpa:

But when we arrived here, we found ourselves alone against twenty Guards. It was about to be a real mess, I have two seriously injured commandos, not to speak of my radio was about to make euthanasia on himself.

Master Silenius:

Yes, we had an unexpected problem, road works at the entrance 7 of the docks, we had to go back. Happily your radio was regularly telling us where you were. Otherwise we would have lost you in the ancient districts.

 

Master Marlikpa:

But are you phallos or likpas?

Drummer:

Hey, if we do such zonked things, it is that we are likpas, sure

Singer:

Hey but we don't really know, in facts. In the beginning we were all phallos, that's sure. But with so many funny things done together, we ended to become likpas.

Roadie:

No, it is because we were so much times called likpas, that we become some.

Singer:

At last not all of us, but we remained buddies anyway. Only two left the group.

Master Marlikpa:

You should pass the likpa test. If you have the level, you can become likpa citizens. This could keep many trouble away from you.

Singer:

Yes we thought to this. The problem is that if we become likpa citizens, then we can no more sing here in the town, after the laws on enterprises and national monopolies. Then we did not, and we don't intend to do this.

Drummer:

Anyway our life is here, here we have all our friends.

Singer:

And, with the millions dols they earn from us, the Phallos will dare to say nothing to us! They are so scared to start a riot! Even the queen keeps her big mouth shut about us!

Master Marlikpa:

Yes, you just have to apply for citizenship, and we left your submission pending. In case of a problem, we accept it, and you are protected.

What puzzles us, is that it is the first time we see likpas and phallos spontaneously doing things together. With my opinion it is very reassuring. In Haralik, each time that likpas and phallos succeeded in living together, then things went better and some generations later everybody was becoming likpa. But it is also very dangerous: the phallos cannot bear this, and the towns where phallos and likpas were living in harmony, were the first to receive thermonuclear bombs.
