The Shade

Humans destroy.

They move too fast.

But occasionally they slow down enough for us to feel them. And over time they may leave an imprint in the Mesh, like an echo of their life’s actions.

They live much longer than you, little bee. But they don’t hear half as much.

We are impressed… that you perceive our words, and that you came closer to the Shade when the others fled

The humans have bent the Earth to their will and created wonders to rival our own, and curiosity is the kernel at the center of their ambition.

You have that, little bee. And we could use you in these strange times.

You would be something new. Infected with humanity. But you might also gain some of their longevity.

That you seek out other Shades, and share what you learn of the humans

Then burrow down… where we are stronger.

We are… struggling with the incursions of humanity. We hope this experiment can be a seed for others.
