I shrugged.
I turned to Amy. “Do you want me to bring bugs? Maggots eat only dead flesh, which might be helpful if-”
If the dead flesh can’t be interacted with?
“No. I can handle that.”
Alright. But you could probably use the bugs to fill the gaps.
“Or I could get some of the more useless bugs, like the ones you used to make Atlas, for raw material.”
Yes, exactly!
Amy turned to give me an incredulous look.
Alright, guess she doesn’t want to make her sister part bug. Fine.
“You said you didn’t have enough tissue to patch everything together. If you wanted to put together a placeholder…” I trailed off.
“Nice,” Regent said. “She could be a human-spider hybrid. Add some insult to injury with the mindrape thing.”
Pfft. Regent is on point today.
Taylor: “Don’t be silly. Spiders are too useful.”
I could see Amy tense.
“That’s not what I’m saying,” I told him. “Amy was saying the enzymes were dissolving proteins and other stuff. The bugs would be a source of protein, vitamins, carbs…”
Okay, that is actually a good point though.
“I’m a little surprised you know that,” Grue commented. He didn’t take his eyes off of Amy and Glory Girl.
Taylor’s whole thing is bugs, she’s fond of knowing what she’s dealing with, and she had three months of prep time before she started going out in costume. I’m sure she’s done way more research on bugs than she’ll ever need. And that’s on top of what she can just straight up sense of their biology.
