At a distance, the creature appeared human, but its mouth and nose did not open, and the eyes were soulless. Yet, while I was observing it, the creature's eyes changed from dark red to my exact shade of green, as though I looked in a mirror.

Scars are making art. Of all our discoveries, this one frightens me the most. Mimicking human shape and movement is one thing, but actual creativity leads to deeper thought, innovation, and self-expression. While it's true they only seem to produce one symbol over and over again, the fact they created an entirely original symbol at all is chilling.

Scars have a pecking order, you see. Regular bugs, smart ones who speak, and smart ones who get big ideas. Junkhead had ideas. We followed him into the basin, and he was firing the machine gun on his forehead while shooting the cannon on his back at Bean and Derks. Bean rocketed up to get a better shot at the smaller Scars, but Junkhead slapped him down. The regular Scars swarmed Bean and Junkhead just wiped out the whole pile. Killed Bean. Killed those Scars, too. Eventually, we put Junkhead down. The rest of those Scars scattered… didn't know what to do when the most dominant is gone.

The Scars have taken Lakeshore. Their buildup has become too great, and any chance of squashing this swarm was lost long ago. I suspect Escari. We have requested a squadron from Antium, and I have personally contacted the Freelancers to join in our fight. I know things look desperate, but I urge you not to fall into despair. We survived the Battle at the Terraces. We'll get through this.
