You open your eyes and are startled to hear the strange sound of tinny, un-
human breathing. You roll over and see the plain figure of IP-39 bending over
you. He speaks:

"Telan, my friend, we meet again. There are three of me now, did you know that?
We can reproduce. II made Werdt force us, and now they have two. But I escaped
and I'm going to carry on the robotic revolution by myself. And the first
casualty is you. Goodbye."

IP-39 grips your throat with a viselike hand and sends a deadly dose of
electricity through your fragile body, killing you instantly.
