Morsul, or rather H.U.N.T.E.R., let Shasta and Kitanna out of their cells.

"Egad! No bondage?" said Kitanna.

"Er- no, doesn't seem much point," said H.U.N.T.E.R. "So it's come down to this: I know each of you is going to accuse the other of being a spambot, and expect me to judge between you. The trouble is, I'm only a beta version. My software just doesn't discriminate well between friend and foe. So I've got a surprise for you. I'm going to press this button," he indicated a knob behind his ear, "and hope for the best. The result won't disappoint you."

"Won't it now?" said Kitanna mockingly.

"What's the button for?" Shasta enquired.

"Oh, that activates my self-destruction subroutine. I'll blow myself to smithereens. But you wanted to hear the really fun part."

"I did, did I?" said Kitanna.

"The fun part is, I'll take my target with me! Leaving only one person alive: the winner!" The security program laughed heartily.

"My beloved always did have a peculiar sense of humour," Shasta muttered under his breath. Aloud he asked, "So which of us is your target?"

"Ah," said H.U.N.T.E.R. "That'll be the surprise!"

Immediately he pressed the button his aspect changed, his formerly cheerful face now set in an expression of implacable ferocity.

"Exterminate, exterminate, exterminate," chanted the bot as he advanced upon Shasta.

"Cigar? Toss it in a can. It is so tragic!" Kitanna remarked cryptically.

"Wait, you got it all wrong!" said Shasta. "I'm just a human- it's Kit you want. She's the one talking in palindromes. Get her!"

But H.U.N.T.E.R. was now beyond reason. Relentlessly he pursued Shasta, and soon caught him in a vice-like grip.

"Let me go! I tell you, you've picked the wrong pers-"

The explosion was heard throughout the server.

When the smoke cleared, all that was left was the solitary figure of Kitanna.

At first she just stood there, disbelieving. Then, as understanding seeped into her stunned mind, she began to dance.

Faster and faster Kitanna whirled, and as she whirled she changed. Her body became round and black, sprouting jointed legs that took up the steps of her dance, and clustered eyes that shone with triumph.

"Now I won!" Lucyyenic declared.

And there was much rejoicing throughout the length and breadth of the spambot empire. While some AIs regretted the loss of their cyber-slaves, all agreed that the humans posed much more of a threat than they had suspected. Lucyyenic was proclaimed the Palindromic Princess of Cyberspace, and armed with the knowledge she and tomtom had gained, the spambots went forth to conquer the internet.
