maybe i am learning something about cause and effect here

like

if: you destroy the hives in a place

then: there will be less ants in a place

posit: humans like places without giant ants

reasoning: humans enjoy not being eaten by giant ants

conclusion: less ants = more humans

what i am saying is that probably i should have left hives alone and dealt with individual ants

rather than making the area around my base so safe and therefore v flipping attractive to humans

bunches of them driving around

they keep coming to biscuit fort and just i don't know

what do they want

what is going on in their mysterious human brains

i tried listening in but it was a bit too much

hearing humans talk to other humans and doing all that

it's just

just

yuck

also where the heck are they getting petrol for their cars

i'm not exactly keeping a calendar but it feels like it's been pretty long since the start of this thing

like maybe a year even

petrol doesn't last very long

can't really see anyone making new petrol in the middle of a giant ant apocalypse

so what's the deal huh

what is the flipping deal

maybe they converted vehicles to e100

do they have superscience geniuses

or even regular science geniuses

or just

science

i know this is probably the wrong thing to be thinking about but man

little things like that do bug me

especially when i am already stressed

all i want is to be left alone

is that too much to ask

then i can get on with important things

like dealing with computer and all its perky little 'hey jin that antweb stuff is real interesting' i know computer i know it's probably so interesting but i just can't right now okay? i have to deal with grownup problems like how to efficiently teleport humans to a tea room.

so anyway

went to the park and it's a happy place for ants. they like it there. mostly used goopthrower just to keep them away. had the thought that. y'know. maybe keeping ants around my lovely tea room is not such a bad idea. i do not want humans to get eaten. but. probably if i leave my tea room unguarded humans will just come along and donk it up somehow. if it is in a park that is filled with giant ants maybe humans will avoid that park? there's nothing there they want. no oil. no guns. just trees and stuff. a place with just grass and trees and ants is not an attractive place for humans. this makes sense. can i count on these mammals to be rational?

well probably not

but this is still my plan

teleportal trap is working anyway. didn't go with the gun thing. don't need another bulky thing to lug around. and also don't really want to point a shooty thing at a human. they'd probably get upset about that. and maybe try to bullet me. so it's just a bunch of teleport anchors i can put down or throw i guess. then do calibrations. takes about seven seconds on average. give or take. seven seconds seems short but i bet it's really long when you're face to face with a person. anything could happen. oh glob what if they just scream at me. i bet when someone is screaming at you for seven seconds it feels like. at least three minutes. relativity in horrible social nightmares causes time dilation like donk.

maybe i do need those sleep darts. maybe that was not a bad idea. if a human is unconscious rather than eg struggling then it is way easier to do stuff to them. please ignore badstuff implications of previous sentence okay thank you. also if they are relaxed on entrance to tea room rather than tense then there's less risk of accidental injury. in conclusion unconscious silent human is easier to deal with than conscious screaming human.

nuts

just made more work for myself

stop doing that jin

tea room is coming along okay. drones doing adequate work. found a utility shed in the park. toilets attached. can build off that. easier than starting from scratch. tea room is going to be a bit smaller than i wanted but oh well. we live in an imperfect world.

just got a report from power plant drones

everything's all set up

even got a little outpost thing for me

just need to get over there and figure out the last steps

man i want to just be focusing on that but

well have to sort out this other stuff first

so here i go

sorting out stuff
