The 'squids' were interesting. They seemed to be like Zerg larvae. Highly mutable. Capable of many metamorphosis end points. Many, to his annoyance, became Terrans. But he was vaguely aware that he had also been one until very recently. He had many memories that indicated he had been Zerg before that, but memory was a biological function, one that could theoretically be transferred. Perhaps he was not actually Zerg.

He refocuses on watching the hive as well, observing their behavior. "Elaborate on Vileblood toxicity."
