he can buy that organ just like any other. wether he wants to or not is a separate issue. that IS how it works. he could easily become a Queen.
Yeah you have it kind of backwards. Anthony specificaly told Gandalf (I don't remember the chapter number) that if it comes to the Colony being destroyed then he will go down with them. Why would he bother to get an organ to "revive the Colony" if he isn't going to be around to do that? đ¤
InsidiousMask:iim pRetty sure the have said that the organ is an option, and even if they haven't, every other organ is available for purchase it makes no sense that this would be the only one not available . and, it seems to me that he makes a lot of decisions based on what is best for the Colony. if he is going to be an ancient, he does so as representation of the Colony, the closest thing to a God of the Colony, practically unkillable. but the rest of the Colony won't have that status. if all the rest of the Colony dies in a war or something, as an ancient he would be the best person to revive it from scratch. as an ancient his children would likely be vastly more powerful starting out than what other queens could produce. which would elevate the colony even further. he may come across a mutation to the organ to exclusively lay Queen eggs, and/ or a mutation to lay only single eggs every so often but the amount of biomass he could divert to that single egg would allow it to be vastly more powerful overall than any other egg. I'm just saying, from the perspective of an ancient, it makes no sense not to have the queen organ.
Holy Cow, it has been a million years since we read about the pet unit. What happened to the separate army of shadow monsters that work for the ants? If Invidia is here helping then they should also be able to assist. we also have not read about the Ant Cavalry. I hope they get an entire chapter to show off. I am glad we got to see the fastest and alive for 20 seconds. That was funny
