Let me retell THE GREAT ANT WAR.
Young Queen Ants lay and tend to eggs. These eggs eventually hatch into one of several kinds of Giant Ant, such as worker, forager, or soldier. They can even hatch into new Young Queen Ants, which will then produce their own eggs.
Naturally, if the Queen Ant is not quickly killed, this will have a cascading growth effect.
Martial Combat didn’t work. Not only would the ants not try to fight me, but ants are like Emus; the flee in packs at the sight of danger. I needed a method of killing many of them quickly.
With it’s piddling damage, Chain Lightning didn’t work. So I tried the BFG-2041 from PK’s mod. Worked pretty well, because it was essentially chain lightning with C4 level strength. I had plenty of BFG shells, so it couldn’t hurt to try, right?
Except that the explosion from the BFG rips holes in reality. And I was spamming it into dense hordes of Giant Ants.
So after that, there were dozens of tears in reality CONSTANTLY spewing forth Nether Creatures. I, a powerful mutant, had just torn open numerous holes in reality. Trying to kill FUCKING ANTS.
So after that, I donned my Heavy Power Armor and decided to enact another solution. A final solution. See, I realized I didn’t need to kill all of the ants. No, it was far more simple. I simply needed to kill all of the Young Queen Ants. And then their days were limited. They’d die one by one to the Nether Creatures or to me, or simply flee to die later.
I ruthlessly hunted down every single Young Queen Ant and murdered each and every one of those six-legged bitches like the Chimera I was built to be. I didn’t get them all, but I got enough that none of them were ever in the reality bubble and the infestion…no, the infection, was stopped.
Those holes in reality and the many, many chunks of chitin are my trophy. And whenever I see ants, the first thing I do is kill the queen. Every time. I hate them. I hate them all.
TL;DR This, except with Giant Ants
