Congrats on the new job Casteryvan! There are enough people out here that are glad translators waste their time for other people enjoyment. So please don't feel bad or anything to make us wait
Apparently MEAT is what she needs to expand the swarm? If so it would seem that gathering meat and intel would be her two main objectives. So going after humans who won't be missed seems like a decent plan. The fact that she's getting overly emotional about it seems tactically unwise, but it does help amp up the edge factor.
I don't like how she gets caught in the same carriage ambush twice. It's been established that she has hundreds of bug monsters under her command and telepathically connected to her at all times, but she doesn't have a few of them hide somewhere along the road in case she gets ambushed? Again?
