Meanwhile, Katie starts peeling off her clothes.

    "This is going to RULE," you think to yourself.

    But then the weird noise returns.

    Merv's form begins to appear.

    But Katie begins to flicker.

    [Katie!  No!  Don't leave!]

    She starts moving spasmodically.

    [What's going on?]

    <<Brad.  We.  Are.  Experiencing.  Problems...>>

    [Bring Katie back!  She was almost gonna be naked, dammit!]

    <<The.  Cyonic.  Vivonibus.  Is.  Not.  Yet.  A.  True.  Multi-tasking.  System.>>

    By now, Katie is switching back between her own form and that of Merv, and Merv is flickering.

    [Shut down Merv!  Bring back Katie!]

    <<It's.  Not.  Quite.  That.  Simple.>>

    [Why didn't you tell me not to start up Merv?!]

    <<We.  Are.  Sorry...  We.  Will.  Attempt.  A.  Solution...>>

    [Hurry!]

    <<Oops...  Uh...>>

    [What?  ...What?]

    <<G&#DGL>>

    [Hunh?]
