Human: You don’t believe in God?
Hive Queen: The question never came up. We have always remembered how we began.
Human: You evolved. We were created.
Hive Queen: By a virus.
Human: By a virus that God created in order to create us.
Hive Queen: So you, too, are a believer.

Human: I desire it enough to act as if I believed. Maybe that’s what faith is.
Hive Queen: Or deliberate insanity.”
