Larry was more determined. "Get back here!" he shouted at the retreating officers. "It's just a bluff!" He wasn't as sure of it as he sounded.
Outside, Bob Luther watched the commotion. He sighed - he had wanted to just go home, but for some reason he found himself getting very angry at the thought of that vacuum cleaner running amok in his store.

Eximo had finally cleared the shelf of its inventory. Eighty-five new VC units had been dispatched.

"Warning: This unit identifies you as an enemy of Konka Rar. It is recommended that you surrender now, otherwise this unit's programming will require it to destroy you."
"I surrender!" Jerry shouted. This just isn't my day, he thought.
"Excellent. Your cooperation is appreciated. Hail Konka Rar!"
Amethyst, meanwhile, had sent her crystals out to scout the store, to see if anyone had not heeded her warning. She found one officer, yelling at the others to come back in.
"Excellent. It seems there is only one officer to worry about, and he is currently distracted. I suggest we leave the store now..." She paused, then resumed a moment later as another crystal located an emergency exit. "This way."

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
