Progress had been rapid, as expected. VC-015 had just been completed. The cleansing was proceeding quite quickly; Eximo was confident this would make up for the time spent on constructing these assistants. More dust was stirred up, and the hum of fifteen vacuums echoed through the store.
As Eximo put the finishing touches on VC-016 and activated it, the doors burst open. Lutherion had entered, and he was angry.
"Why won't this damn thing come off?" He looked at the timer, which now read 27:58. "Well, if I'm getting blown up, I'll make them all pay! Starting with that vacuum! I know you're here somewhere..."
Through the dust, Lutherion spotted the silhouette of a vacuum cleaner. "There you are!" he shouted. "Take this!"
Lutherion tackled the nearby shape... knocking over VC-012. He examined his victim in surprise.
"What the hell? Another vacuum? ARRGH! I'll make you pay!" Lutherion scanned the store. There were more of the silhouettes - it seemed like two dozen. The dust cloud made it nearly impossible to identify which one was Eximo from this distance. Lutherion tried to think of a plan, but the deafening hum of the VC units made it difficult to concentrate.
He glanced at the device. 25:32. "Damn vacuum! I don't have time to hunt you down!" Lutherion ran out of the store to find another victim to pass the bomb on to...
