I shook my head.  No.  I didn’t want to dwell on the subject of murder.  I had to save people.

Yeah, probably worth focusing on that for now. Time is limited.

The upper downtown area had no power, and it was just warm enough that people had their windows open to get some reprieve from the heat.  That made it easier.  I sent some bugs into every open window, using the roaches and flies that were already present when possible.

So are you going for the message tactic, or the “chase away from windows” tactic?

One of the two would be easier to explain afterwards without people blaming you, but the other would probably be more effective.

How many people did I have to reach?  The buildings here were anywhere from six to twelve floors, and there were anywhere from one to six apartments to a floor.  Less than half of the apartments were occupied following the evacuations, but it still made for hundreds of people on each city block.

Damn. I keep forgetting how tall this city is compared to anything near me.

I think I know of, like… three buildings within 100 kilometers of me that have 9 or more floors.

Then again, it does seem like the number of tall buildings around here is going up. Hell, there are even plans to build an enormous hotel right here in my little hometown, with… 24 floors, 8-12 times as many as most of the buildings around it… Holy fuck, I knew there was a big hotel planned, but I didn’t realize it was going to be that big!

Seriously, look at this concept art:

This is insane.
