okay so


    you can''t tell but there''s an hour between that last sentence and this one


    hour of pacing and muttering and playing with eyespider


    original eyespider


    should think up name for ninja agrotoxin eyespiders to distinguish them from #1 eyespider. skullspider. myspider. okay that''ll do for now.


    good distraction jin


    that was like a minute


    need more distractions


    from the horrible thing


    that happened


    today


    well tonight


    it was pretty dark


    maybe she didn''t see me?


    no but then why would she scream and run away


    so yes


    the thing is


    there''s a human around


    probably more than one


    you get them in clusters


    unless maybe i just hallucinated her?


    oh please let me be hallucinating humansStolen novel; please report.


    maybe i''ve been hallucinating this entire time


    all the giant ants have actually been


    giant humans?


    no that doesn''t work at all


    i mean sure if it was zombies we were dealing with then i could buy the whole ''you''ve been killing regular humans the entire time jin you are the monster'' thing


    but no


    even the best hallucination can''t turn a regular human into a giant insect that eats your arm


    that''s just not believable


    gotta face facts here


    probably not hallucinating


    not her at least


    assuming gender a bit but that''s the least of my troubles


    let''s maybe get some stuff straight. that could help. so. i was out checking ninjaspider progress re: suburban ants. also checking giant ant progress re: rotting. how long can a giant ant stay just lying around before you can''t use its bits for stuff any more. these are important questions that should be answered. anyway i was just doing my thing amongst the antcorpses. recording potentially useful numbers. taking chitin samples. happy as a bee.


    then the scream


    the hideous scream of a human


    those things are so noisy


    not like giant ants. never really appreciated this before. giant ants don''t make much in the way of noise. little bit of clicking. little kind of cute six legged footsteps when they move around. giant ants are light. because of the antigrav antgutgem deal. i should invent a shockwave thing or an airblaster or something. just blast these things away. giant reverse vacuum cleaner the surprising answer to all my problems.


    well not all of them


    can''t blast a human away with a giant reverse vacuum cleaner


    or could you


    ah lovely distractions. you sooth my troubled mind in these stressful times. always comes back to humans though doesn''t it.


    the problem that cannot be ignored


    or could it


    no no because she saw me and went running off and i really doubt she''s surviving in this mess on her own. i mean if one little eyespider crawling out of a cyborg girl''s skull is gonna make you scream then i''m sorry but you are soft as flip. way too soft for giant ant shenanigans. right? yes. i am right.


    i think she had a gun


    not a cool gun like my junk


    regular bulletgun


    haven''t tested shield against bullets


    haven''t got any bullets


    i hope this does not become


    problems


    not sure what to do now


    before this happened i was all excited about power plant stuff


    excited to use my laser shotgun again


    excited to maybe invent a lightning gun


    drones doing good work over there


    that was going to be my next thing


    fixing up a power plant


    making another base over there


    cracking the mareo piracy protection drm junk so i can force it to make another mareo


    matter reorganisers reorganising matter into more matter reorganisers


    this is the stuff i wanted to be thinking about


    now


    i don''t even know


    bleh
