Rahm Tak, Datak Tarr and others in “The Last Unicorns”

So I am trying to decide how best to put you both to work for the Votan cause.

Anything to serve the Collective, General.

Good, good, because you, Datak, are going to be a saboteur for the Votanis Collective. You are gonna help me bring that odious little town to its knees.

If I may, General without me there to calm him, my husband is prone to fits of intemperate anger.

You're saying I should send you both?

It might help you achieve the objective you desire.

Here's the thing, Stahma, you and your husband are a pair of treacherous snakes. If I release you both, you'll disappear into the woodpile, and I won't get what I want. So I think it's best for everyone if we set some simple ground rules. You, Datak, will go to Defiance. You'll carry out assignments that I give you. Anytime you refuse an assignment or fail or displease me in any way, I will cut a piece off of your wife's beautiful body. And over time, that can add up to one ugly bitch. So do as I say.
