a little autonomous probe slides out of otherspace, like a miniature coupling of a shark and a praying mantis swimming in the air. Its dorsal fin (in truth, an ultra-tech array of detectors) hums almost imperceptibly while it scans the surrounding space, looking for a particularly dissonnant signature.

appears on the side of the mantis/shark thing in tiny letters drawn in minute points of light, as the probing device speaks to its memory banks.
Apparently disconcerted by the agreed-upon local rules, the device elects to slide out of the local existenz grid.
