It puttered off. Amethyst watched it, somewhat amused, then went back to thinking about the problem at hand. She concluded that the best option for stabilizing the fields would be to synchronize the falling rates of the three buildings; however, as the restaurant's apparently could not go any lower, that might prove difficult. Still, it would be the best option if it were possible. She would have to consult with the others to find the control device for the barn, and to ensure the systems were synchronized.
Meanwhile, Eximo continued with the cleansing. It headed out the door, and noticed Alcarith's machine flying past. Then it saw the bomb.
"Analyzing. Primary objective: Ensure there is a location to cleanse. Previous analysis indicates that this unit has limited use in that capacity."
"It is probable that the lifeform in that vehicle will be better able to achieve the primary objective than this unit."
"Remaining VC Units can satisfactorily complete secondary objective without direction from this unit."
It paused.
"Conclusion: This unit's continued existence is not necessary to complete primary or secondary objectives. The lifeform's continued existence may be necessary to complete primary objective. This unit's course of action is clear."
Eximo made its way out the doors, and set its vacuum in reverse. It headed for Alcarith's machine...
