If my opponent targets my scorpion personality with an action that would destroy him, I announce Loyalty of the Scorpion and my opponent reacts with Inexorable, am I able to choose to not pay the costs due to interference? Or, since the target nor the costs were interfered with am I forced to pay the mandatory costs of selecting a scorpion personality to destroy? Thank you for your help!
Loyalty of the Scorpion vs Inexorable

The latter.
Since the neither target nor the costs were interfered with you must choose a Performer and pay the mandatory cost of destroying him.
