Was it intended to be funny? I sure find myself laughing. Thatw as very interesting. -laughs-

“Huh? What…?” She looked down, picking up the item. “Whatever could this be?” Viki then sneezed all of a sudden, vanishing, along with the object

-Hmm.. in this point of the story, I would say: "ARGH!"

Heheh... interesting idea. I was expecting Rode to go shouting inexplicables at the end or something, but... I dunno. It's not really a satisfying ending if he never ends up saying anything. Also, there's not much of a point for Viki to make off with the recorder if there's nothing of use recorded on it. It would've been awesome if Rode said something after it was gone, though...

Wow... it was funny. Yet really awkward... *blinks* This is a one-shot right? So how about another version? Where he actually DOES talk? But in an angry ranting sort of way? Anyway it's a good length and I'm impressed.
