I could feel the sensation of Amy doing something to interfere with my powers. It began to get worse, reaching a peak, and then getting worse.
Amy, what are you doing? You’re not betraying them already, are you?
Are you actually trying to do the corona thing Taylor asked you for in spite of your reluctance to do stuff with brains?
Just when it had reached the point where I was going to tear her hands from around me and let her fall off Sirius’s back, it began to clear up.
Alright, if that is what she’s doing, she seems to either have given up or succeeded.
I could feel the bugs, but they weren’t anything like what I’d seen in Brockton Bay. Superficially like dragonflies, with fatter bodies.
Oh, alright, she was doing the other thing Taylor asked for. Fair enough! That makes more sense to introduce narratively, anyway. If they got Amy boosting Taylor’s power, they could have her boost all of their powers, and at some point it’s just too much too quickly. Especially this soon after Grue’s second trigger.
I couldn’t grasp every process in their body, making them feel strangely hollow and artificial. What I could feel was a kind of echo in my power. It made control harder.
Interesting. It seems like Amy’s manipulation makes them different enough that Taylor’s power barely considers them valid arthropods for control anymore.
