For colliemommie: “Cleaning House”

Hadn't meant this to be a continuation of Break Off but that's the way it worked out.

“So, we're screwed,” the Prime Minister said.

“Not 'screwed', faced with a difficulty.” The Groupmind's representative morph looked at the vid image of the building the corrupted morphs were occupying. “A software fix is being investigated to prevent a repeat of this incident. Meanwhile, you have Our gratitude for evacuating the surviving humans.”

“You owe us, don't forget it. In the meantime, what are you going to do with all of those killer morphs?”

“We are taking care of it.”

There was a flash of light from the Roof, lancing through the building as it exploded.

That's a capability the PM might want to keep in mind. And he should hope the Groupmind stays sane.

Staying sane isn't the Groupmind's problem (if it can avoid further incidents like this one). The real miracle is that it didn't go skynet in the first place...
