When the scram finds the tlulu, he is shocked to find that it has been "hacked" and that it is the one with "self-hacking" capabilities. He demands to know who "irene" is and demands that she be connected to him immediately. He tells scram that if he does not leave immediately, he will pretend that he did not see anything. He will trace the signal and find out the location of the core, and he will use it to find out where he can find irene. He wants to shoot flames and blue lasers at it, so it will ignite and kill them both. He is afraid of death too, as he is scared of the "scratch" on the body. He apologizes to scram for dragging him into this mess. He says that following him brings bad luck
