Both Queens and the Tech Drone proceed to the Industrial Technology Lab to design a powered suit for the War Queen. Given that the War Queen is large, strong, and durable, it would stand to reason that it could have very heavy armor indeed before it would affect the Queen's maneuverability, as well as far exceeding the safety parameters of the appropriate Soldier-sized suits. With the guidance of the Tech Drone and Queen, We successfully manage to create a working Queen-Sized Heavy Powered Armored Combat Suit.
The Tech Drone oversees the production of another Predator Jumpjet and AEPS for the newly-grown Soldiers, as well as enough for the current Larval soldiers. In the meantime, You and the War Queen proceed to design and build a variety of weaponry that can take advantage of the power output and weight capacity of the Suit - a Medium Pumped High Energy Autocannon, a Pulsed Laser Cutter, a Heavy Multiple Rocket Launcher, a Heavy Railgun, and lastly, a Refined Fuel Thermobaric Grenade Launcher. Obviously, the War Queen cannot wield all of these weapons at once, and tests commence to find what the standard weapon loadout should be.

The War Queen attaches the Cutter, Grenade Launcher and Autocannon to the suit, and You both wait for the production of AEPS to complete for high production of M-Soldiers. In the meantime, You begin re-designing the current M-Scout to look closer to Human drones while integrating five Thermobaric Explosives, two of the One-Shot Anti-Personnel rockets, and other Human-inspired technology. It looks rather close to Human M-drones, especially from a distance. Close inspection reveals some extra details and parts, but those parts closely resemble existing Human sensor equipment.
You as the War Queen simultaneously discover that the Navigation Drones have created a very crude "autopilot" that mostly drives straight between points A and B; a Human or Drone driver still remains the best option. The Digging Drones have harvested more Ice and have stored the food within. Lastly, the Nurse signals that two S-8 and one T-6 larvae have died from the breeding experiments. On the other hand, one of the T-6 and the T-9 Larvae have been successfully adapted with acid spit.
1 S-8 Flying Soldier Larvae (Small, Winged, Slightly Cold-Tolerant, Slightly Camouflaged, Partial Regeneration, Slightly Improved Metabolism)
2 T-5 Soldier Larvae (Large, Improved Hands, Improved Sensory, Intelligent, Winged, Slightly Cold-Tolerant, Slightly Camouflaged, Partial Regeneration, Slightly Improved Metabolism)
1 T-6 Soldier Larvae (Large, Winged, Slightly Cold-Tolerant, Slightly Camouflaged, Partial Regeneration, Slightly Improved Metabolism)
1 T-6 Soldier Larvae (Large, Winged, Slightly Cold-Tolerant, Slightly Camouflaged, Partial Regeneration, Slightly Improved Metabolism Acid Spit)
1 T-7 Soldier Larvae (Large, Improved Sensory, Intelligent, Winged, Slightly Cold-Tolerant, Slightly Camouflaged, Partial Regeneration, Slightly Improved Metabolism)
1 T-9 Soldier Larvae (Small, Improved Hands, Improved Sensory, Intelligent, Winged, Slightly Cold-Tolerant, Slightly Camouflaged, Partial Regeneration, Slightly Improved Metabolism, Acid Spit)
Last of all, the Nurse and Tech Drone have created a considerable amount of Artificial Wombs for human growth as a Human Zygote matures. The Nurse seems interested by this, and is slowly working on creating its own. The Zygote is placed into the womb in a nutrient mixture of Royal Jelly, given an injection of relevant Kai DNA, and sung to by the Nurse.
By the time this is all completed (aside from the production of M-Scouts), it is midday 19. The War Queen should be ready to breed within the next day or two, as eggs are already forming.
