Chik and Sal were working as "Security Guards". Security Guards are people who watch to make sure that other people didn't try to come in and trade for the stuff at the big building without leaving some of those little meaningless slips of paper that the people called "Money" or "Moo-la" or "Dollars". A building is a place like a hen house but bigger. The Building that Chik and Sal work in is called a "Funeral Home. A Funeral home is a place where they put not-moving-wrong-smelling people in boxes that they either bury or burn.
It was a couple of hours before Chik and Sal had to be "On Duty" watching out for those people who traded without paper, so they decided to go into "Town". A Town is a place filled with lots of people... kind of like a barnyard... which they had heard about as children... well. the two friends walked past a building with a red and white roof and a sign that said it was "Austin Chicken" and it smelled like food.
Being hungry, they went inside and up to the counter to trade some of their moo-la for some food. Well, they walked up to the counter and there was this picture of "Colonel Flanders" an old man in a white suit with white hair and a cowboy hat. Next to the picture was a menu... they had fried food for chickens, grilled food for chickens, fingers for chickens... nuggets for chickens... and sandwiches for chickens... and pots of pie for chickens... and whole baked food for chickens too! and some kind of fried food for frenchs what ever a french was... and slaw for coles, and cream for ices, and beverages.
Sal ordered a pot of pie, and a beverage. Chik, being hungry, ordered a whole baked food. Sal's food came out first, and he started to chow down... it was hot and gooey and tasted salty and good! then Chik came over to the table holding a tray with a horrified look on his face... he said "SAL! STOP EATING THAT!" and Sal dropped his spork. Chik put the tray on the table and shouted "Chicken pot pie IS Chicken! It's MADE FROM CHICKEN!"
Sal looked at the tray and he saw a sight that shocked him... a horribly burned and gutted chicken body on a plate with a small bowl of white paste and a little bowl of tan grease! He started to turn green. Well, the people in the joint looked over at them, Chik fuming in anger, and Sal confused between grief and horror. He had actually enjoyed being a cannibal! Sal proceeded to be sick all over the table.
The restaurant manager came over and asked Sal and Chik to leave. He said they were causing a scene, and He said if they didn't leave, he would call the "Police". The Police (or Bacon) is an organization whose member’s function was something like a farm-dog’s to the barnyard-like city. Well, Chik had murder in his eyes, but Sal, fearing discovery, led Chik out of the restaurant... "Not today, Chik" Sal said "We will get retribution for our kind another day."
Chik calmed down and looked over at Sal and said "Sorry friend... You know my temper... Yea... We will have our day... but Colonel Flanders is MINE! To think they were selling parts of our kind for their kind to eat! It's like they thought we grown just for their food!" Sal thought about this for a moment, and then said "You know what, Chik? I wonder if that’s why those people are in the boxes at that funeral place... maybe they are being served for food to someone... and when they are put in the oven... they are being cooked" and Sal shivered... Chik said "It would serve them right".
Sal said to change the subject "Hey Chik, do you know what a movie is? there‘s a sign over on that building saying "Movie double feature: The Birds, and Night of the Living Dead"... do you know what that means?" Chik thought about it, and he admitted that he didn't. They decided to go over and find out, so they traded some slips of paper for some other slips of paper that let them into that building. Chik and Sal had a lot of fun. Both movies were about war, and the people were getting what they disserved. One movie was about the kind of people that they put into the boxes at their work. It looked like a gorilla war, with down and dirty fighting and lots of mess and blood. The other was about their own cousins holding a holy war against the evil marauding people. It made them both feel better.
Well, after the stories about the 2 wars, it was time for them to be on duty, so they walked over to their job, and got into their special clothes. The first three hours of their shift went pretty quietly, but when they walked back into the place where the wrong smelling box-people were kept before being burned or buried they saw a person who was not supposed to be there! Sal said "Hey YOU! You didn't trade is any pieces of paper for those box-people! I must detain you for the Farm-dogs... I mean The Bacon."
The Invader looked at Sal and dropped the body he was holding. He said some words that Sal didn't understand, sprinkled some spices on the fallen food-man and it stood up and started attacking Sal! Sal said to the box-man "hey! You don't need to attack me, I am not a person!" The box-man ignored Sal and kept coming! The stranger said the words and sprinkled some more spices, and another box-person stood up, so while Sal ripped the first man apart, Chik did it to a second one. Then they both picked up their flashlights and started clubbing the Necromancer.
At this time, a group of people all dressed in black came into the room holding big guns, so Sal and Chik stopped beating the dead necromancer's body. One of the people in black said "put down those flashlights NOW!" He sounded like a police officer, so they did. a woman from the group said "Their korellian Auras read Good, but not human, what ARE you two?" Chik said "We are Roosters! Changed by the flame-mushroom of the man-place giant bird in the tower in the desert!" Sal then said "and now we look like you, but we are different", then Chik said "Your kind eats our kind! We want justice!"
The first man from the group said to Chik "Well, I don't eat chicken, I only eat red meat, you two did a great job on that necromancer... we had been following him for weeks. come with us and we will take you to our boss. He is a powerful man who might be able to help you with your justice.". So after helping clean up the mess, Chik and Sal went with the Bureau team to meet Mr. Gordon... and that is how TCS got aquatinted with B13!
