CH71 Alex the Mad Scientist
***
'So that's it...'
The creature behaved like a nest queen.
It consumed resources, laid drones, and expanded its domain in cycles.
Classic broodmother logic.
And with his knowledge of similar archetypes from games and fantasy novels back on Earth, Alex could already predict the likely next steps.
It would build a nest. It would expand its brood. It would multiply exponentially.
'There's nothing more to see,' Alex thought grimly, eyes narrowing.
'In that case... let's get things under control before they get out of hand.'
Suddenly, Alex's eyes shifted— no longer human.
They became beastly.
Beast Intimidation!
A newly awakened ocular ability triggered from his Solmir True Name.
His gaze locked onto the Nest Queen and unleashed a crushing, primal dominance.
The effect was immediate.
The creature froze, paralysed mid-motion.
Even its mental instructions to the drones ceased.
