Cranar was checking on his latest patients Ventrowe, his ex colleague who he racially and jealously despised, Manutaai the Trimadian double agent and another Septen Scaba, an infiltrator and associate of Ventrowes. Both Septens conditions were excellent due to their unique physiology, a complete contrast to the Lae Tu.
Though the Septen's possessed extreme intelligence, and their technology was advanced, Kalvich would not allow Cathexistomes to be implanted due to vanity. In his decree, Septens were too damn ugly with grotesque features, not to mention a sickening orange skin tone.
It was so ironical, Cranar received orders to ensure the Septens were looked after from their desert excursion so they could be properly dealt with. Manutaai was scheduled to be tortured and shot for his treason.
