Paradise Violated

You order your team to get ready to dock again. As you approach the village, the Lizards see you and go running to a big hut and quickly run back out. They don't attack, but eye you warily with spears and bows drawn.

"Higgins we're probably going to have to deal with the chieftain, I want these Lizards to help us if possible, so I want you on top of your game!"
"I will sir, but what if they attack us anyway?"
"Well then we crush them as always, but usually Lizards either attack immediately or not at all, so we're probably safeÂ…they probably recognize greatness when they see it, just like these Lizards did." You say pointing to your Lizard porters.

This village is a little bigger than the ones you've come across before, the Lizards seem more organized as well. You even see a few of them marching and doing some sort of drill routine. All you questions are soon answered, when the chieftain emerges from his hut.

"I am Chief Kruz. Do you seek my wisdom?" he asks.

Holy shit, it's a Mazatt! Well that explains why the Lizards are so organized.

"I can see by your face that you were not expecting to see a Mazatt, in charge of this village. So tell me why has the Terran Empire come to this place? Is it the same reason as my own government? To plunder its resources? (Sigh) Such short sightness. I was much like the rest of my race until I found a different way, after I was sent to this planet."

He speaks very well for a Mazatt, usually they don't even bother, except to shout warcries. From the sound of it, he also has left his government. Perhaps you may have a common interest, but then again perhaps not.
