RE: Awaiting Payment

Translating from Draconian to Matoran to avoid language discrepancies...

I do not enjoy being harassed by weak, insignificant pests such as yourselves. Corporate slime should not interfere with my project. How does the old saying go? Do not meddle in the affairs of dragons.

So, I shall only respond once about your pitiful desire for credits.

Go.

To.

Karzahni.

Sincerely,

Overlord Propheci
