[The view opens on Stein, Sherry, and William Birkin standing outside of Stein's house, looking up at its grey, silent bulk. The moon is high overhead, grinning bloodily down at them and laughing quietly.]

[Stein is on his cellphone]

Yes, excuse me, do you do emergency calls? We need an exterminator, immediately.

[Pause]

Ah, slightly larger than a cockroach. Do you charge by the size of the house or the size of the insect?

[Strangely, Birkin is also on his cellphone]

Hi there, any chance you guys have any vacancies fooooor... Tonight? For maybe the next... Week or so?

[Pause]

Yeah, no, I know it's short notice. But- Lady, don't you tell me to "Calm down, sir" you don't know what I've been through tonight.

[And Sherry is also on her cellphone]

Hi, um, I have to cancel you coming over tomorrow, I'm sorry. My dads messed up the whole house, you know how it - okay, sorry about this.

[Pause]

Okay, I'll see you at school.

Oi. Mr. Science. Should I tell the crew construction's on hold for the next few days?

[Video]

[vinodejerez]

I wouldn't send anyone in there but trained professionals.

[touchofgenius]

Yeeeeeeah. I'm sure you don't want to deal with your construction crew getting eaten by a giant zombie queen bee, so that might be safest.

[Video]

[screwloose]

Might want to hold off. What construction crew are we talking about?

[voice]

[exceedingwords]

[okay, okay, what just the fuck did she watch?]

First off, is your unit safe and sound? I don't wish damage upon you three. Secondly, is the matriorb remains safe?

[voice]

[vinodejerez]

It'll be fine, it just needs someone to come look at it and get the pests out.

I don't know about the matriorb, though.

[voice]

[screwloose]

The matriorb is safe. But I think it's laying eggs all over the place in there.

[voice]

[touchofgenius]

Well we're all in the same number of pieces we were in this morning, so I think we're good.

And the orb's fine. We've been keeping the pieces under lock and key in my Class II BSC. Trust me, nothing's touchin' them any time soon.

[makewayforroze]

Did something bad happen?

[vinodejerez]

We kind of had an accident.

[touchofgenius]

Is a bug the size of an SUV a bad thing? Because if it is, then yes something bad happened.

[screwloose]

It got a bit dangerous.

[icantbelievethis]

...I don't even want to know.

[vinodejerez]

It's just a pest problem.

[docfoul]

[vinodejerez]

What.

[delilahs_reaper]

Did an experiment or two go awry?

[vinodejerez]

Just one.

[screwloose]

Just a tiny bit!

[touchofgenius]

It's not awry if no one's dead.

[sandinmyboots]

Oh boy, it sounds like a disaster!

[vinodejerez]

It's really not that big.

[notasinglelady]

What did you do this time?

[touchofgenius]

Oh nothing too bad. Just tried to repopulate a race of alien human/insect hybrids by cloning their queen to lay eggs and gave it a biiiiit too high of a dose of the T-Virus until it zombified.

[vinodejerez]

The usual.
