I’m not as versed in Hive physiology as maybe I should be, I’m still not certain whether or not their structures are reconstituted human/other parts. However, if the city is going to continue to expand with as little hindrance as possible before the next crisis we’ll need all the nutrition we can get. Could we modify the growth conditions of Hive larvae and thralls such that we can sup on the victory of our immortal saviors, the Guardians?
