[Immediately after this...]

Alanna, Mel and Agent K are striding rapidly through the tall grass near Adam's cottage and the creek bed.

No one has said much for the last mile. Then:

"Sheepbot 9000?" Alanna grumbles, raising an eyebrow.

Comments

"Yeah," K says rather jauntily. He pulls out a different jet-black and very shiny case and flips it open. A holographic display appears in the air above it, depicting a.... well, it *does* look like a sheep.

Mostly.

The glowing red eyes do stand out. But it's undoubtedly fluffy.

"The list of standard features runs as long as your arm. And the extras--," K chuckles. "Oh, those extras."

Mel is ahead of the others, only really 'with' them by necessity of still not having a clue where they're heading, and really not being happy about it.

She hasn't looked at K the entire journey, and isn't about to start now. Not while he still has a thing that can get at her brain through the eyes.

"Bet that'll come in handy," she mutters, her sarcasm making it significantly more audible.

"Will it track Mike?" Alanna asks, casting a worried look at her friend's back.

Something catches her eye a moment later. Something shiny, up a tree over the creek. As she watches, a leather boot dangles into view, mostly camouflaged by branches and leaves. Alanna's lips curve in a small smile and she looks expectantly at K; she'll have an answer before calling out to Jamie.

"It will," K assures her. "Ninja Turtle i-dent signatures have this way of standing out, even when they're in human form."

"Mind you, this would go a whole lot faster with 21st-century galactic transport. But I don't suppose your people would appreciate a Xerxes aerial gunship doing a low-altitude cruise over downtown Corus."
