I must leave my cabin soon , or I will not be allowed to leave. Must move to unclutter the place freeing space to fix my unclockwork avatar which may soon be needed for a mission. Out foxing or chasing one anthro bug from each room may have to do for now as I am pressed for time. The Laboratory first, where Arach has mistaken the city suggestive detritus on the table for the real thing and conquered it. My clockwork Harlequin Cockroaches chase her away , and I enter the library , re-imprisoning the book worms. Patrol begins.

    Does the Harlequin Cockroach spread disease as rapidly as real ones? A pretty little thing...

    (What is this, Jamie, you’ve got me Googling evil little bugs!)

    Interesting to look at aren't they. The ones in the drabble are disease free.

    Wow, this is interesting. I hadn't read this yet when I wrote my last drabble, so we had a bit of synchronicity going about libraries.

    As usual never hear of Harlequin Cockroaches! but are they consumed like the one's in China? (oh, they could be of course, another type i haven't thought of)

    Hi Christopher, Synchronicity is a curious thing isn't it. This has made me curious enough to remind myself what it means.

    It took me twenty eight days to compose that reply.

    Hi Verity. Glad it gave you a chuckle. :-) No idea if Harlequin Cockroaches are consumed. :-)
