"All right, you stupid machine!" screamed Lutherion, as he continued reassembling himself. "I'm missing a few parts. And they're inside you! So, I'll just be taking them back..."
Lutherion, grinning, prepared to shred open Eximo's bag with the newly-reattached wightmaw arm. But then he paused, looking thoughtful.
"Wait, wait, wait! The girl's still here. Can't have her catching me by surprise while I'm busy with you... So I suppose putting myself together will have to wait. It's not like I really need a spleen or a liver, after all."
Lutherion left Eximo suspended in midair as he tried to find Amethyst in the maze of colors. He pulled out several bone splinters, and turned them into skeletal warriors.
"Spread out! Find the girl!" Lutherion cackled. She could probably destroy the skeletons easily, he knew, but could she do it without giving herself away?
As Lutherion searched, Eximo considered the situation.
"Information suggests that objects in containment are interfering with ability to function."
It paused.
"Dilemma: Expelling objects in containment would spread filth. Cleaning filth again would result in interference with ability to function. Failure to clean filth again would be failure to complete the cleansing. Inability to function properly would result in failure to complete the cleansing."
Lutherion turned to the vacuum, still caught in mid-air.
"Be quiet, vacuum! I don't have time for you right now. One more word and I'll destroy you!"
This was all that Eximo needed.
"You are threatening to interfere with the cleansing. This cannot be permitted. Expelling items in containment."
Eximo set its suction in reverse, throwing Lutherion's body parts right in his face. It began glowing.
"This unit is no longer malfunctioning. Threat to the cleansing still present. Threat must be eliminated."

There's no reason for this | Or this | Death is inevitable | You can't challenge fate | The smallest change | I'm overwhelmed
I'm serious | It makes perfect sense | Easy as ABC! | I can't even explain it | Cleaning up someone else's mess
I suck | I rule | I've got it made | Really, I'm serious | This bugs me | It's all lies | I want to believe | Beauty is a curse
