Saw it coming. Made me think back to the Robert Hanssen case, though. The most zealous are always the ones with something to hide.

I couldn’t tell if I liked this because I couldn’t hear it. Oh well.

It's OK if you want. To have a narrator. Who puts the pauses in. All the wrongplaces and sometimesruns. Words together.

But if you do that, you really need to make sure he's got a decent microphone. Or at the very least, ensure that he's not narrating the story from the interior of a 50-gallon drum with the microphone submerged in a bowl of rice pudding.

i have to agree: this was telegraphed from the moment the situation became clear. possibly more interesting if the final mimic was so good, that it suicided--it's mimiced ethics overcoming its actual species motivations.

i give it a meh+.

I couldn’t actually hear the narrator’s voice too clearly even after turning up the volume.

and inside bees.. other bees! I’m afraid i must DISAGREE! This is in fact NOT a story, merely a swarm of vague concepts placed so as to maintain the appearance of a middle, beginning and an end… begin fumigation at once!

Good story, although alittle predictable

I had this one pegged almost immediately. The denouncement I mean. Still it was a decent story.
