Can you imagine what it must be like to be an ant?

Problems that humanity deals with would seem irrelevant - the warming of the planet and all it's related consequences, the population explosion and the subsequent issues, including overcrowding and famine, the expansion of information, and the overwhelming perseverance of human violence. But there would be other problems - like the catastrophe of the appearance of an anteater or another predator animal. There would be tasks like to gather food. And there would be nothing but the colony and the queen.

Now imagine if an ant were to become a human. How difficult it would be to grapple with basic bodily functions, and the variety of emotions and chemical responses each action and reaction brings. Even humans must learn to walk - can you imagine if an ant tried to learn to be bipedal? I imagine it would be a task more monumental than for a human to enter space.

It's difficult to think outside your boundaries, no matter what you start as. Difficult to understand something or someone on a scale dimensions different than yours.

This is how I feel the Admiral sees us.

[PRIVATE to Ivy]

How would you feel about beehives in the greenhouse? I think they would benefit the plants greatly.

[PRIVATE to the ADMIRAL]

Would you permit beehives to be added to the greenhouse?

[PRIVATE to DRACULA]

I'm sorry that I killed you.

Ants are designed to follow specific behavioral patterns that have been integrated into their systems. They are a hive-mind. They don't have individual though. They must protect the colony, or protect the queen. Even if they were to become human, they wouldn't be able to comprehend the problems humanity deals with on a daily basis.

But to suggest that the Admiral sees us as bugs, small, seemingly defenseless creatures, well, that, I can agree with. But most insects bite, and one day he'll come out from the safety of his control room and get bit.

I see your point.

So to the Admiral, we're nothing but bugs in his farm and he's just a kid. We all know what children are capable of.

Somewhere along the way, it looks as though the Admiral's best intentions were skewed. Although, if he's testing us by throwing us into strange cities or casting those mood altering affects called floods, then he really has us all under his power.

He may seem the most powerful creature here, but looks are deceiving.
