An alarm sounded and lights flashed all around the small space. An electronic voice shouted *intruder alert. Unrecognized species. Threat level undecided.*

"Great." Zmerr sighed in irritation. "They didn't get the hint."

He went to a semi-circle of screens. He sat in a chair and took a careful look at each one until he came across one that showed the intruder. It was an unnaturally large and much less naturally pink scorpion. He knew in an instant who it was. It was Chii. He'd seen her pink tail earlier and thought it was particularly strange.

"Jeez" He wiped a hand down his face. "Let her in." His voice was thick with defeat.

The room went to a ruin-like scenery before flicking back to the comfy appearance of an electronically generated home. Chii stood in the middle of room, mid-stride.
