Not to be rude but couldn't Anthony let his pets sleep some more while he traveled around the nest? They aren't like him and his instant fix torpor and constant stream of energy. If you needed advice about your pets. Then bring the advisors to the energy drained monsters. Not the other way around
They are in the middle of a wave, and they still can have a nice tea time. And I believe, people in Renewal also live quite safe. This prove that living with Colony is much better than with human kingdom.
I like how Anthony has grown. I feel that the pressure of a growing colony funneled through his specialized organs has made him feel more keenly his responsibility as Eldest.
