  7. I was watching, studying, sensing and experiencing ten thousand things at once, an engine going full-bore. I could follow my dad as he moved through the house, picked work clothes out of his closet, threw away a sock and its matching pair. I watched every entryway into the house, the windows and doors, tracked the movements of the neighbors, and our neighbor’s neighbors. With fleas, I could track the movements of the neighbor’s outdoor cat, a surprisingly violent creature with a sizable body count of local frogs and mice, many killed purely for sport.

  9. I could track each of these details for roughly a thousand feet around me, to the point that I was aware of every person and every piece of terrain in the area.

  15. I had managed to use Flint's powers to create a cutaway model of the Teeth's hideout; inside it, I was controlling my bugs to mimic the positions of each of the Teeth. Ligeia - Kyesha - had helpfully given me a few bottles of nail polish to make the bugs stand out more, but the size of the bugs and the model meant that the Ambassadors had to cram in shoulder-to-shoulder with the Undersiders in order to get a good look.

  19. It was a little bit too far for me to be able to pick out circulatory systems through the wall, but I could see the interior of the building quite easily through the eyes of my bugs.

  35. Using my swarm, every bug in the four block range, I buzzed out the alert.

  45. I couldn’t move too far away from Scapegoat. I was tethered to him by an invisible, intangible cord, about one hundred and fifty feet long; about half a city block.
