The metal cube unfurled like a flower spreading its petals, and out of it came buzzing bees. The buzzing sound that the wings of the bees made was different from what normal bees made. These buzzing bees sounded like the static of radios and televisions.
The bees were also made completely out of metal. There were tens of thousands of these bees in the outpost core. So most of the space within the metal cube was used to hold them.
The bees surged out of the metal flower into their surroundings. After they were gone, the crystal gem at the center of the outpost core was revealed.
The crystal gem was white, but it wasn't transparent. It was opaque like ice.
This crystal gem looked important to Loki. But for now, the crystal wasn't doing anything. It was the metal bees that were doing things, so he turned to look at them.
