When they return they find Niks and Naks waiting.
Niks: What do you have in the bundle?
Naks: Did you bring souvenirs?
Niks: Is is something to eat?
Naks: Where have you been you anyway?
Fomalhaut quickly locks the door while Deimos opens the bundle...
Niks: A loose head!
Naks: Where did you get it???
Deimos: We found Dr. Frankenstein's laboratory. And we found this small head. We just could not let Dr. Frankenstein turn it into a monster.
Fomalhaut: We thought maybe we can make one of our own.
Deimos: Not a monster, a homunculus.
Niks: You must hide it well.
Deimos: Yes, this must be a secret. If Phobos sees the head he will certainly take it from me.
Naks: To make a homunculus of his own?
Niks: We don't tell a living soul.
Naks: But if we feel an urgent need to tell, we'll come and talk to the head. It won't spread the word.
Deimos: Better not talk even to the head. The walls may have ears. And we must hide the head real well.

I think the mechanical endeavors of the little demons were a bit more acceptable than experiments with loose heads, but what can you expect from such beings?
