I don't even know if I've ever seen a whole one before...

[ He's kind of interested. ]

[fightolive]

Not even a chicken's?

[ Look at it. With its bone beak. That doesn't seem right. ]

[midway]

Do you normally look at the skeletons of livestock?

[ Looks at her. ]

[fightolive]

I mostly saw exoskeletons of bugs...

[She doesn't seem happy about it.]

[midway]

Were you just fighting a lot of bugs...?

[fightolive]

They were endless.

[Endless, enormous self replicating beetles.]

[midway]

... Is that a common problem?

[fightolive]

Not as much as there were before, but there are still remnants of them. They're still incredibly dangerous.

[midway]

Are they what you were engineered to fight?

[fightolive]

They were.

[midway]

Where are they coming from anyway...?

[fightolive]

What do you know about Aeons?

[midway]

You mean eon? It's a long period of time?

[fightolive]

It's a homophone, but it's not the same. An Aeon is something akin to a god, and they preside over an aspect of reality.

Tayzzyronth is the Aeon of Propagation. They were responsible for the rise of the Swarm.

[midway]

And why'd they do something like that?

[fightolive]

That's what They are. The only thing They're motivated to do is to propagate.
