right yes okay let's forget about humans and think about ants

let's think about ant brains

let's put an ant eye in my head?

i'll put that one on the maybe pile

anyway first of all acid ants are weird as flip. they don't have brains for one thing. mostly they just have acid. i think maybe they're like cockroaches. with like brains all through their body instead of in one place. and also instead of big antgutgems they've got tiny little antgutgems. acid antbits are different to regular antbits. lighter, tougher, acidproof. actually all ants are acidproof. did some tests. i mean they don't like it. but it doesn't do a lot to them. so an acidgun is off the table. probably just as well. not the biggest fan of acid right now.

second thing is that ants are easy as flip to control. you just gotta bung a bunch of electrodes in their muscle equivalents and you got yourself a remote control ant. not sure what i can do with this but so far it's pretty fun. maybe i could mount weapons. antdrone. antscamp.

The genuine version of this novel can be found on another site. Support the author by reading it there.

but what i really want is some kind of mass control thing. like a signal or wave or something. dominate these insects. can't think small. because there are a heap of these things around. i'm outnumbered a million to one probably. can't electrocontrol every single one of them. why would i want to even.

maybe i need a queen. that makes sense to me. if these things even have queens. i mean are they ants? or are they just ant shaped? they seem pretty antish. but then they're also pretty smart. organising and planning and if something isn't working they stop doing it. feels like there's some kind of intelligence behind that.

well. anyway. experiments continue. right now i need to go scavenge for tea. superhammer drones have completely wrecked this area. went a bit too nuts. now there's just biscuit fort and prisoner jail and a bunch of rubble. like, for ages. whoops. not exactly inconspicuous there jin. anyway i saw a tea shop at the mall where the hive was. might zip over there on starfax pimsneyback. probably a good idea to take a look at the hive remains too. make sure scavengers aren't missing anything.

so

that's gonna be my day
