They’ve found the undulating green cave and the creepy copies of ole Ricky. And poor Rosie, getting dragged like that, like ants carrying a kill into the colony. 🤢

I really hope they exterminate these things, although I’m not too hopeful. Something still doesn’t feel right.

There’s something very strange happening beyond the obvious. The way Jack talks in the past tense at points, describing is underestimation of the swarm.

The wife, Julia, element. Raising the swarms like pets. Teaching them.

So far I’m suspecting that his baby Amanda is definitely compromised, maybe all three kids, and MRI magnets definitely affect the swarm. We shall see if my predictions are close.

“That was how little I understood my adversary.”

Well, we’ve just been introduced to the swarm. Interesting to finally understand his concept of this tech. It’s a genetic manufacturing as much as it’s a micro mechanical. A mix between cellular and silicon. And the apparatus Crichton imagines is spectacular. The gleaming glass octopus assembly line.

So far so fun!

So far so good. I love the idea of utility fog. One of my favorite science fiction concepts.

Jack just accepted the offer from his old boss. Ricky is acting weird, and everyone who is suspicious looks hot. 😆 Apparently changing your features is one of the first things these things do when assimilating.

I’m guessing MRI machine magnets are what can destroy these things.
