Close investigation on the afflicted biomech reveals that it might be possible to suppress the destructive wave through ranged attacks. A lower-class Idearn and a Requeen offspring was sent to test out the hypothesis.
The hypothesis was proven to be true, but rapidly shooting at the target provoked even more chirping. The lower-class Idearn continuously incurred wounds for six hours after disengaging, bringing it close to death despite its reinforced body. Surviving a prolonged engagement is deemed to be impossible.
The Requeen offspring seems to be immune to the chirping, but continued melee attacks seems to inch the attacker closer and closer to insanity. The offspring went berserk after two hours of hacking at the target, and has not returned to sanity after 8 hours. It is unknown if the mental corrosion is based on the amount of damage it dealt, or the length of time it spent attacking.
It has only been one day, but hints of despair has spread through the colony.
