As you all know, in this game, anything can happen at any time, in any way, because that's just the kind of pawns you are. The entire game is a joke and you've been falling for it night after night, huddled under your desk wondering when or how it will end. Resolving yourself to the finality of it all.

Drop your buffs!

That's right, you've made it to the merge. Congratulations. Help yourself to some of the delicious fruit. And I don't mean PMush - haha - just kidding buddy, you know I love you.

A long time ago a friend of mine told me that it's not really about the answer, not really anyway, it's so much more about the question. There's already been a lot of regrets this season and while I know many of you are confused, there's only more regrets to come. Tomorrow's gamephase will last a total of 46 hours. For the next 16, you should ask any and every question you'd like, via any method you'd like - so long as they're directed at me. I'm looking for a handful of specific questions - so use your brain on this one. You'll be how surprised at just how little it might take in order to -- that's right, guys, take home the first individual immunity of the season.

I know. It's quite the horror. The most interesting, simplest, well-thought-out question will receive a puzzle in response. I'd absolutely loving detest if you worked together to ascertain the best question to pose - via the thread, pm, discord pm, and yes: graffiti.

"Survivors" - hahaha - ready? Go!

ccording to all known laws
of aviation,


there is no way a bee
should be able to fly.


Its wings are too small to get
its fat little body off the ground.


The bee, of course, flies anyway


because bees don't care
what humans think is impossible.


Yellow, black. Yellow, black.
Yellow, black. Yellow, black.


Ooh, black and yellow!
Let's shake it up a little.


Barry! Breakfast is ready!


Ooming!


Hang on a second.


Hello?


- Barry?
- Adam?


- Oan you believe this is happening?
- I can't. I'll pick you up.


Looking sharp.


Use the stairs. Your father
paid good money for those.


Sorry. I'm excited.


Here's the graduate.
We're very proud of you, son.


A perfect report card, all B's.


Very proud.


Ma! I got a thing going here.


- You got lint on your fuzz.
- Ow! That's me!


- Wave to us! We'll be in row 118,000.
- Bye!


Barry, I told you,
stop flying in the house!


- Hey, Adam.
- Hey, Barry.


- Is that fuzz gel?
- A little. Special day, graduation.


Never thought I'd make it.


Three days grade school,
three days high school.


Those were awkward.


Three days college. I'm glad I took
a day and hitchhiked around the hive.


You did come back different.


- Hi, Barry.
- Artie, growing a mustache? Looks good.


- Hear about Frankie?
- Yeah.


- You going to the funeral?
- No, I'm not going.


Everybody knows,
sting someone, you die.


Don't waste it on a squirrel.
Such a hothead.


I guess he could have
just gotten out of the way.


I love this incorporating
an amusement park into our day.


That's why we don't need vacations.


Boy, quite a bit of pomp...
under the circumstances.


- Well, Adam, today we are men.
- We are!


- Bee-men.
- Amen!


Hallelujah!


Students, faculty, distinguished bees,


please welcome Dean Buzzwell.


Welcome, New Hive Oity
graduating class of...


...9:15.


That concludes our ceremonies.


And begins your career
at Honex Industries!


Will we pick ourjob today?


I heard it's just orientation.


Heads up! Here we go.


Keep your hands and antennas
inside the tram at all times.


- Wonder what it'll be like?
- A little scary.


Welcome to Honex,
a division of Honesco


and a part of the Hexagon Group.


This is it!


Wow.


Wow.


We know that you, as a bee,
have worked your whole life


to get to the point where you
can work for your whole life.


Honey begins when our valiant Pollen
Jocks bring the nectar to the hive.


Our top-secret formula


is automatically color-corrected,
scent-adjusted and bubble-contoured


into this soothing sweet syrup


with its distinctive
golden glow you know as...


Honey!


- That girl was hot.
- She's my cousin!


- She is?
- Yes, we're all cousins.


- Right. You're right.
- At Honex, we constantly strive


to improve every aspect
of bee existence.


These bees are stress-testing
a new helmet technology.


- What do you think he makes?
- Not enough.


Here we have our latest advancement,
the Krelman.


- What does that do?
- Oatches that little strand of honey


that hangs after you pour it.
Saves us millions.


Oan anyone work on the Krelman?


Of course. Most bee jobs are
small ones. But bees know


that every small job,
if it's done well, means a lot.


But choose carefully
because you'll stay in the job
you pick for the rest of your life.

The same job the rest of your life?
I didn't know that.

What's the difference?

You'll be happy to know that bees,
as a species, haven't had one day off

in 27 million years.

So you'll just work us to death?

We'll sure try.

Wow! That blew my mind!

"What's the difference?"
How can you say that?

An animal rage took over her. She tore at the bodies reaching for her, took their drat special daggers, drove them into their skulls. The woman calling out to her - calling out to her by name - how dare she? These Moiety swine, no one got to call her by name anymore.

But it saved the woman the edge of the dagger. The elbow grounded her and somehow ended the fight. Blood-covered and panting, standing over the body of the woman who'd called to her, she could only take a firmer grip on the daggers she'd stolen. She was surrounded.

She wasn't just going to die, not after what they'd done to their own kin right in front of her. Especially when Hellender finally came out of hiding. She was ready to kill Hellender especially. But instead the bitch ordered a retreat. Must not have given much of a poo poo about the woman she'd just knocked out either.

How very wrong she was.

He was so happy now.
He fed her so well - like she was one of his.

Wasn't she?

He'd called her Catherine.
Atrus had called her Catherine.
They called her Katran.

It had driven her mad for days, but she was coming to terms with it. Fewer terrorist attacks on his installations meant fewer interruptions of her work to stop the earthquakes. Fewer devout 'Black Moiety' making noise about Katran being their savior from Gehn meant more helpful lab assistants.

Fewer converts for Hellender.
Fewer kills for Brandkamp to brag about.
Less hope to cling to.

The Rive'ni children smiled at her.
