Episode 19: Hive

Overview
(link to episode) "Hive" is the 19th episode in book one of Objectified. The episode starts with Comet noting that things are "too quiet". They blow into the flute/whistle that called over the birds in their last episode, but no birds come. Comet notes that she's run out of water, and takes a big empty pot with her to the edge of the Rings to collect more. To her shock and disgust, the wall over the waterway is splattered with blood and the ground around it is littered with the carcasses of birds. The water itself is dark, murky, and full of dead fish. She still takes the water and boils it back at her camp, drinking it with an empty gaze. As she stares off towards the Rings that night in her tent, the comic reveals that on the other side of the gated waterway there is a humming parasitic structure that might be a Hive Core.
