Eximo had made one adjustment to the VC units made in this city from the original model.
A transmitter, to relay new orders if they proved necessary.
Now it ordered them to gather at its location. Konka Rar had plans for them.

Dorukomets was having trouble adjusting to his new memories. Not only because he had died, for either the second or third time depending on how you looked at it, but because he seemed to have a lot of memories that weren't his in the first place rushing in as well.
Despite the mess, he had been thinking clearly enough to invisibly follow the guy who had killed him - this time, at least - and wait for a chance at revenge.
When he saw Lutherion, he realized that he could get revenge twice. But he'd have to wait until the time was right.
Except... a lot of the new memories were telling him to obey Master Lutherion.
Worse, it sounded like the two of them were planning something big.
In many ways, he was still Larry. In enough ways that his instinct was to warn the Chief.
He flew off, leaving the two necromancers to whatever plan they were hatching together.

"You want to install a vacuum cleaner in my arm?" Lutherion looked at his new ally strangely.
"Perhaps I was not clear. I have perfected methods of installing cybernetic parts in undead creatures, as you can see by my own form." Konka Rar took apart VC Unit 53 and began reinstalling the parts on a skeletal bear Lutherion had summoned. "I merely wish to see if applying these techniques will interfere with your arm's ability to store the creatures. Unfortunately, this city lacks the technology I would prefer to work with." He clicked one last part into place. "But I can improvise. Now, try recalling it."
Lutherion attempted to transform the bear back into a bone splinter. Its new parts began to spark; Lutherion canceled the order. "It doesn't look like it worked. Now what?"
Konka Rar laughed.
"That only means we lose portability. A shame, but I believe we can compensate for this problem."

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
