Honey: Did you hear about the latest experiments by DARPA? They're going to implant micro-electro-mechanical systems (MEMS) into insects such as dragonflies and moths...even into hopping and swimming insects!
Beau: Why?
Honey: To create Insect Cyborgs.
Beau: Explain.
Honey: Well, these flying insects can go where humans can't.
Beau: And do what?
Honey: Find bombs. Chemicals. Gas.
Beau: How?
Honey: With sensors that are implanted into an insect when it’s still in the pupal stage. The body of the insect will then heal wounds and reposition internal organs around the minute mechanical structures that have been implanted.
Beau: How will they know where the Insect Cyborgs go?
Honey: They’ll use Remote Control and GPS (Global Positioning System).
Beau: I'm glad I'm a lizard.
Honey: I'm glad I'm a worm.
