"How do you control these roaches?"
Dao Su grinned. He whistled. One of the work roaches came to his side. Amon observed the work roach, and he noticed this one was different from the rest. While almost every work roach was different, because Dao Su had altered each of them, Amon found this one different because it seemed to be in its original state. One could perceive if a creature had been altered because the altered body parts were alien to the rest of the body. This one didn't possess that kind of anomaly. It was also slightly larger.
"This is my tamed beast," Dao Su explained. "A queen roach. It can impose its will on the others of its brood. This is how I control the other work roaches I have altered."
Amon thought about his upcoming mission. The Cryanids were insect-type spirit beasts, similar to these work roaches. He wondered if someone was controlling the Cryanids using the same trick.
