> *"It's all breaking down."*
> It’s been bad before. I've fought things you can't even imagine. Things that crawl from places we don't talk about. Things with too many arms. But this? This is chaos.
> The PRT doesn't have control. The heroes? They’re scattered.
> We're losing the city. Hive is…
> I can't tell what's real anymore. Sounds coming from everywhere.
> I felt them *inside* my head, buzzing. Do you know what that’s like? *Buzzing.*

> *PLEASE SEND HELP!* They’re saying Skitter is out of control—what is she even doing? Bugs everywhere. There are bugs inside the walls!
> It’s not just bugs, it’s like they’re breathing. It’s alive, everything's ALIVE. This place is turning into a **hive**, we’re in a cage made of **skin**, everything vibrating… can’t stop **buzzing**… can't bre—

> Just saw the feed from the street cams. It's worse than the news says. The buildings are infested. I mean **completely** covered in bugs. The bugs are like a second skin over the walls, over the streets. *They move together, they breathe together.*
> Skitter isn’t controlling them. She’s **becoming** them. **BEING** them. She’s a part of something bigger now.
> I don’t think she’s coming back from this.

> Telling you right now, I saw Miss Militia retreat. She had bugs *swarming* over her gun. Even her scarf was shaking.
> **Buzzing.**
> Skitter didn’t even look at her. Miss Militia isn’t made for this, she’s just… human. They all are.
> I don’t think the Protectorate can fight her anymore. Not now. Not when she’s turned **everything** into a weapon.
> It’s like she’s—
> Like the city is **hers.**

> You’re all missing the point. Villain? Hero? The lines don’t matter anymore.
> There’s something deeper here. Like... evolution.
> Skitter’s pushing the boundary. What if she’s beyond us now?
> This isn’t just about the bugs. It’s about control, about becoming something **new**.
> A part of something bigger.
> We might be watching the birth of a **hive-mind.** A **collective intelligence**.
> Look at how everything syncs with her. She’s not just commanding them anymore. She’s a **node**, part of the swarm itself.
> What if Skitter *isn't* the enemy? What if the city is?

> You people don’t get it.
> You think this is about control? Or power?
> This is about **survival**.
> We’re the **virus**. She’s the cure.
> You’ll understand soon enough. When the buzzing starts for you too. It’s coming.
> Everything vibrates. The air. The buildings. You can’t escape it.
> We are just pieces.
> She’s the whole.
> The **hive** grows.

> **The bugs are everywhere!** They’re climbing up through the walls.
> Is there anyone left?
> I thought I saw Armsmaster, but it’s like he’s not even there, just moving through the swarm like a ghost.
> Does he think he can stop this? I saw him swing, but…
> There’s **no one** to hit. Nothing to fight.
> It’s all just buzzing now.
> Even my phone is vibrating... but it’s off.
> Am I still here?

> The buzzing is everywhere.
> It's not in your head. It’s real.
> The bugs are in the air, in the ground. The buildings vibrate with it. Like a heartbeat. Like the city itself is alive.
> I don’t know if we’re real anymore, or if we’re just a part of the **swarm** now.
> Skitter isn’t a girl, isn’t human.
