I backtracked and picked a different route. My pace slowed to half of what it had been as I searched for other telltale details. Twice, I found similar traps, both with that odourless smoke, and twice I had to change my route.
I guess that’s just what it is. Traps set up by Bonesaw or Amy.
Hopefully the latter, so the Nine might run into them.
I paused outside the bug-killing zone. Flies had ferried spiders to me, and I started organizing them to produce lengths of silk cord. I left them behind while I creeped closer and listened in.
Don’t you know it’s rude to eavesdrop? 😮
Then again, it’d be appropriate for Skitter to be the fly on the wall.
“…minds do think alike. I did something very similar for Siberian.” A girl’s voice.
Hm. I assume she’s talking to Amy – what has Amy done for Victoria that Bonesaw has (to some extent) done for Siberian?
Or maybe it’s “done to”. Bonesaw doesn’t see the difference.
Could it be something about the mind rape? Did Bonesaw make Siberian love her, like a daughter or otherwise? I don’t see why she’d do that.
There’s also the issue of when Bonesaw did whatever this is. Did she do something to/for Siberian before or after Siberian got injured by Taylor’s swarm and the Bakuda barrage? The latter is more akin to Victoria’s current situation. Maybe it has to do with patching someone up using resources from other beings?
We still don’t know whether or not Siberian is still alive, “alive” or dead, for that matter.
“Shut up. We’re nothing alike.” Another girl.
That’s Amy, all right.
I guess they’re putting off killing her in case she’s changed her mind about joining them.
“We could be! Haven’t you ever wanted to start over? I could make you younger! We’d be the same age! And wear matching outfits! Oh! I could do plastic surgery, we could be twins!”
I love her so much.
