"Possibly!" Doug's eyes practically lit up at Karolina's comments. There were so many aspects of the bugs to consider that it was good to have another pair of eyes looking in. "We've established that they operate under a queen and have a hive mind. A psychic one, by the way, it's a long story, I'll fill you in when you have time. But back to the point - which is... if they're like other eusocial insects, they might have a caste system in place as well. Which means! You're right! There is a possibility that some of them are harmless. I haven't thought of that. Oh my gosh I cannot believe I haven't considered that. You're brilliant! I'm going to have to find out if anyone noticing the bugs that attacked looking different than this one here. Maybe they have different roles, like you said. This is going to change the game."
He beamed sheepishly, happy that Karolina hadn't minded his flubber. He was momentarily taken back by her transformation. He didn't mean to stare, but he was staring. There were so many fascinating people here, but what she did was the first of its kind he'd witnessed.
"You're spectacular..." As soon as the words slipped his mouth, he stuttered nervously to recover, "Uh - sorry, I didn't - That's not what I mean - Not that you aren't - Uh, I just didn't mean to stare but that was - really amazing. How do you do that?"
