Eximo did not even pause in its work. It seemed it had been expecting this question.

"This unit is aware of the conditions that the unidentified lifeform set." VC Unit 86 was finished, and Eximo took another vacuum off the shelf before continuing.

"However, the unidentified lifeform is not Konka Rar, and as such, this unit is not required to follow or otherwise acknowledge that lifeform's orders."

Amethyst smiled. "You have an interesting perspective, Eximo. I wonder... Do you have any questions for me? I've asked you several, it's only reasonable to give you a chance to return the favor."

Eximo paused briefly, before resuming work on VC Unit 87. Then it spoke up.

"This unit was considering the query 'How can this unit be returned to Konka Rar's castle?', but that query has been replaced by a new one."

Amethyst expected it to pick up a new vacuum and work on it. She was surprised when it didn't, and turned to face her; clearly it considered the question more important than its work.

"How can we be returned to our proper locations?"

It resumed work as it waited for Amethyst to respond.
