Everyone except for maybe Senkovi was taken over and killed. Later Helena ( human) and Portia ( spider) awake in a jail cell like place with that octopus guy that they were with in space from before

The virus seemed to fairly quickly take over his whole body and mind and started to talk like the “we of this” like speeches that ocassinally happen. Although it doesn’t seem like the octopus, humans, spiders or anyone we know. It seems like it’s Turtle like in a way

Sounds like when Lortisse was attacked by the turtle, it was able to hide in his body for a time and now discovered that it’s in his brain and replacing the part of his brain that attaches the left and right side while still fully working. Maybe some sort of new parasite related to the viruses from earlier

It sounds like from like page 222 it mentioned the past is actually 10,000 years ago, not just 1000

Trying to recover Helena(Portiid) from the water sphere that froze up

Been reading and getting details on the spider ship. They use ants instead of computers and they had a run in from what seems to be the octopus guys that were made from the human crew in the past

Started the new part of the book and this starts by re introducing and giving some recap on the Portiids (spiders). They are in a space ship aswell and Avrana Kern (Queen) from the last book, is mostly robotic and has developed technologies to attempt to talk to humans better. The whole story including where it’s it seems to take place thousands of years in the future

Pages 34-63: Disra Senkovi is left on the Aegean with limited power while dealing with his genetically enhanced octopuses messing things up and about à third ended up dead. Baltiel is the mission captain and is on the planet when his crews suits stop working and they have to work through their heavy suits having no power while realizing they were somehow attacked by something to do with the war back on earth
