Arnold disappeared as suddenly as he had come. Amethyst was relieved she had a chance to search now, but concerned at what the Gentleman might be planning.

Eximo seemed, reluctantly, to accept Drake's information at face value.
"Based on data provided, this unit has concluded that searching for the book is a priority. This unit will proceed to do so," it said. There seemed to be a cautious tone to its voice.
"Good, good. Do enjoy yourself." Drake excused himself as Eximo sped off in search of the book. Now that matter was taken care of, he wanted to investigate what the other Gentlemen were up to.
Had he continued to follow Eximo, he would have soon found out part of his answer.
Amethyst stood in front of the vacuum cleaner.
Eximo pulled out two knives.
"This unit has orders to kill you," it said.
"I should warn you before you do that," Amethyst interrupted, "that new contestants have joined the game. I believe there are three of them."
Eximo paused.
"Information noted."
"In fact, anyone unfamiliar you have encountered is likely a new contestant. Any information they may have given you is highly suspect, as they are seeking to win this contest, and are clearly willing to mislead you."
"This is plausible," Eximo noted.
"And their capabilities are unknown. They are potentially far more dangerous than myself or Aeon."
"This unit cannot deny that possibility."
"I hope you appreciate the information," she said, smiling.
Eximo checked its scanners. "Lifeform identifying itself as Drake is still visible. Investigating now." It turned back the way it had come.
When it was gone, "Amethyst" laughed. Arnold removed his disguise and moved some books on a nearby shelf.
"I can't make this too easy for you, Eximo. That just wouldn't be as much fun."

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
