Chrysalis

I briefly contemplated paying a visit to the village and checking in, I just don't know what I would say. I don't think I'd explain the changes in the colony, I'm not exactly sure how humans would react to the creation of this new species. Knowing the people in the village, their fervour for all things ant may only increase, an outcome I'd rather avoid. If they get even more fired up in their ant obsession I'll come back to find a temple or something in the middle of the village.

That's the last thing I need. It's already difficult to go into the village due to getting swarmed by people moments after I arrive, then the priest shows up and starts shouting to the heavens. It's a pain to say the least. If I didn't have Enid there to talk to I'm not sure that I'd bother communicating with them at all.

It'll be nice to actually get away from all, not feel pressured by time and obligations, just by the jaws and claws of the deformed beasts in the Dungeon attempting to rip my face off. The less stressful stuff. Tiny lumbered behind me as we began to make our way down into Queens chamber and further down into our own private chamber, currently occupied by a few monsters attempting to claw at each other.

Impatient and annoyed, Tiny smashes these monsters in a single backhand before squatting in place, waiting for me to give the go ahead to move further down the tunnel. The intense light down here hasn't changed for weeks. Compared to when I first arrived in the world, the illumination is intense, almost stinging my eyes. I'm looking forward to this stupid even coming to an end though. From what I understand, the waves are not supposed to last this long. A week, maybe two, then things start to die down and the accelerated spawn rates go back to normal, everything is gravy. It's been months with this wave! The extra Biomass is nice but I really want to be able to sleep peacefully underground again.

Ah well.

[Come over here for a second Tiny, I want to check your core.]

Rolling his eyes the bat faced lightning gorilla stomped over to me before plonking himself on the ground with a thud. Real graceful.

I feel like checking in on the progress of my pets every now and again is important since they haven't been the best at taking care of themselves. I might be driven into taking further pet based skills just to help manage these two. Tiny with his dim witted decision making and Crinis with her paralysing fear of failure have caused no shortage of issues. Play it safe and stay on top of the problem. That sounds like a good policy.

Bringing forth my antennae I access Tiny's core and sift through the information to piece together his status.
