"Tools... indeed, some records state that the Kilik Swarm could make and use tools. They did not rely solely on their own bodies and evolution," a biologist beside them said.
An inefficient method. Abathur said flatly, tools were a product of humanity's lack of choice. A pure Swarm needed no tools. The Killiks used the Celestials' tools, thus evolving in this manner.
The catastrophe from one hundred thousand years ago had always been one of Tang Xiao's key research subjects. Since the Kilik Swarm had experienced that era, Tang Xiao had also told Abathur everything he knew about the Celestials and The Ones.
However, Sefrans Tann had no interest in dwelling further on biological evolution. She asked, "What can we get from this thing now? I need to find their nests and wipe them out completely. You want the essence of the Kilik Swarm? Fine. Now is your chance."
The essence is incomplete. The Swarm has revived, but not all of it. Jorib Planet contains brood nests, more than one. Find the brood nests. Devour them. Analyze them. Receive Mainframe signals. Search for The Colony, Abathur said.
"There is more than one brood nest in this star system?" Sefrans Tann frowned deeply. "But our scanning systems cannot find them."
Brood nests are beneath the satellite's surface. Ordinary scans cannot detect them. Abathur said, excavate the burrowing worms. Extract their signal-receiving organs. Manufacture receivers. Find the brood nests.
