Desecration has been updated.<br><br>I'd tell you exactly what Bug did to Mortok, but I really don't think you guys want to know. <p></p><i></i>

Bug...<br><br>WAY COOL story bro...you did very well!!! Wish I could have seen more on the torture of Mordok, but I am that sick kinda guy by nature anyway <!--EZCODE EMOTICON START ;) --><img src=http://www.ezboard.com/images/emoticons/wink.gif ALT=";)"><!--EZCODE EMOTICON END--> <br><br>Keep em coming and I am glad you are back to writing.<br><br>Ciggie<br>Cgynus[DTM] <p></p><i></i>

I debated with myself long and hard about actually showing what went on over on the lee side of that little hill, Cgynus. Then I remembered all those Hitchcock episodes I watched as a kid and figured it would be better to leave a few hints to steer the reader's imagination. That scene was the equivalent of shadows on the wall, so to speak.<br><br>It's a kind of character device, really--I want ToB-Bug to appear cold, practical, and ruthless at this stage of the story, but I don't want him to seem like a sadist. To him, sadism is quite useless--it's not <!--EZCODE ITALIC START--><em>efficient</em><!--EZCODE ITALIC END-->, and efficiency is one of ToB-Bug's hallmarks. Remember, he didn't kill Mortok out of mercy, but out of practicality.<br><br>Efficiency equals joy and all that, y'dig? <p></p><i></i>

Kicken guy. I absolutly love it.<br>One question though. Didn't Bugs hive/queen die in a BE attack? So would she not be one of the fifteen queens to die by the Bioderms or was that a different storyline? Not being critical just slightly confused.<!--EZCODE EMOTICON START :scratch --><img src=http://www.boomspeed.com/natila/headscratch.gif ALT=":scratch"><!--EZCODE EMOTICON END--> <p></p><i></i>

Bug's mother, Dath, is currently quite dead. Dath bought it from the BE--remember Michael Khentor from <!--EZCODE ITALIC START--><em>Due Process</em><!--EZCODE ITALIC END-->? Yep, he's the man responsible for her death and for Bug's fifty-year quest of vengeance.<br><br>Tath, Dath's daughter, is the one that kicked Bug out after Dath bought it. Tath died in the BioDerm assault on all the hives. <br><br>Now, the whole thing with Dath talking to Bug took place in the Hive-Mind. If you've read Dune, think of the Bene Gesserit collective consciousness of ancestors and you'll have the gist of the Hive-Mind. <!--EZCODE ITALIC START--><em>Unlike</em><!--EZCODE ITALIC END--> the BG collective, though, the Hive-Mind requires a physical host in which to reside. Thus the thing in Bug's chest--one of Dath's daughters that she halted the growth process on and made into a Hive-Mind receptacle. (Horrible process for a Queen, hence Dath's anguish about doing it. For us humans, it would be akin to giving up your healthy but unborn kid for stem-cell research.)<br><br>Now, you might be thinking "But there's a ready-to-go Queen's egg somewhere with the BioDerms! Why can't <!--EZCODE BOLD START--><strong>it</strong><!--EZCODE BOLD END--> hold the Hive-Mind?" The answer is that it isn't ready yet--each new Queen has to be 'imprinted' in a manner of speaking so that they can tap in. It's a kind of security measure--the Queens are, by and large, an <!--EZCODE ITALIC START--><em>extremely</em><!--EZCODE ITALIC END--> paranoid lot, hence the Great Civil War.<br><br>Therefore, Bug needs to take this lot of unruly Queens in his chest to the progenitor egg that the BioDerms stole and imprint the Hive-Mind onto it.<br><br><!--EZCODE ITALIC START--><em>*edit*</em><!--EZCODE ITALIC END--><br><br>If you're wondering... yes, Bug is at the moment a 'King' of sorts.<br><br><br><br> <p></p><i>Edited by: <A HREF=http://pub141.ezboard.com/bxmenclan.sho ... bug>Ambush Bug</A>&nbsp; <IMG HEIGHT=10 WIDTH=10 SRC="http://www.xmenclan.org/images/x.gif" BORDER=0> at: 11/23/03 4:23 am<br></i>

I must say I'm curious as to what you all think of the current plot twist. <!--EZCODE EMOTICON START :) --><img src=http://www.ezboard.com/images/emoticons/smile.gif ALT=":)"><!--EZCODE EMOTICON END--> <p></p><i></i>
