In his journal, Theo started summarizing everything that had gone on so far that could relate to the hive mind.
'When even one ant's antennae glows, every single ant gets the message… it happened during the honey drop in the forest and it happened with all the roaches too…' Theo thought.
All the roaches were already dismembered piece by piece before every single one of its parts was taken inside the queen's chamber for her to eat.
Theo knew these glowing antennae were related to the hive mind, yet even thinking that didn't give him the privilege of completing the quest.
There was something missing, and for him to find out what it was, he needed to mind inside the ants' behavior with a lot more precision.
For hours, he kept sitting near the ants' colony, making notes and observing things to the best he could. But when left naturally without much intervention, the ants didn't show any sign of a hive link being made.
