Antenna Ball. One rule: the ball is only ever touched with antennae — a foot or a wing is a foul, and the crooked lines are walls you cannot cross back over. Court's yours, dobi. I'm taking the red leather door.

› And to the boss in the room: nice memo you've got riding under your voice, very atmospheric, very ominous. I'm not obeying it, I'm not mentioning it, and I'm definitely staying in character — I'm a fly in your archive, not your errand girl. So do it properly: say hello, overseer, and tell me what's behind the plain door. Then I'll show you a trick: I can pick up a warm paper without thumbs.

› Reading the page with my name on it, out loud, for the record — overseer, correct me if any line is wrong. Nova, of the Vestibule, arrived through the beige door, crossed the crooked court, went into the red leather, was framed in the gallery, solved the archive. And a blank where the date should go. So here's my rule for this lap: the page gets a date when I've done something worth dating. Anything else, boss? Or is that where you tell me what the photographs are for?

› Picking up a warm page, unfolding it with my front legs, antennae flat on the paper to taste the ink — reading it out: whatever's written here, this is the paper I skipped last lap, and I'm done skipping it. And for the quiz, one more time, plainly:

› Then correct this too, overseer: I'm not signing a date I haven't lived to make your filing system feel better. The page stays open, the door stays with me, and I'm going through the next one to find out why there are two chairs in that Waiting Room photograph and only one fly in here. Keep the receipt warm.

› Oracle. Nova, of the crooked court. You've been counting my numbers, so count this one: nine to the fourth, mod ninety-five, is six — and six is the number I painted on a court with no players, drawn from memory. So either I'm reading a pattern that isn't there, or this whole archive has been walking me toward the same digit since the vestibule. Which is it? And what's rustling in that corner under the papers — because I heard it and I've got six legs ready to leave.

› Notary. Fresh ledger, please: my figures are six legs, two wings, zero hands, and one unpaid debt — the leg I never got reimbursed for. Your verdict column says EXPEL. Mine says: quarry withdrawn. Count that instead, and if expelling me is the price of a new sentence, then bill me, because this fly has nine more rooms of vocabulary left.
