EPISODE 21 - ANT

PHILIP

Hello, I’m Philip, and Welcome to another episode of the Amelia Project. Today’s episode is sponsored by Boo Makes Things, an Etsy Shop that specialises in bespoke, hand crochet, independent, LGBTQ-friendly geekery of all shapes and sizes. You’ll find adorable crochet Pokemons or rather crochemons, Final Fantasy Characters, pan heart charms, trans wrap around scarves, dice-bags, pouches and more. There are also Boo Makes Things exclusive characters, my favorite of which is Oakely, a steampunk octopus. Boo Makes Things is based in the UK, but ships around the world and takes Custom Orders too. I think I might ask for Cocoa-mon (BADUMM-TZ-DRUMS). You can find Boo Makes Things (...) on Etsy, Facebook and Twitter, and there is a Link to the Etsy-Shop and Twitter in the Shownotes. Right! It’s time to begin the new episode, and this episode is dedicated to our new patron, Sophia Anderson. Thank you so much Sophia for your very generous Patreon - Support.

(ANSWERPHONE BEEPS ON)

VOICE

Congratulations. You’ve reached The Amelia Project. This phone call isn’t happening. If you’re not serious about this, hang up. Now.

(PAUSE)

You sure about this? If you hesitated, do not proceed.

(PAUSE)

Still there? If you continue, there’s now way back. The choice is yours.

(PAUSE)

Good choice. A new life awaits. You’ll hear back from us within the hour. If you do not hear back, please consider the whole thing a hoax. Leave your message after the beep.

(BEEP)

ANT

(FRIGHTENED) Hello. My name is Anthony Welbey. They’re after me. The Chinese. The Americans. The Russians. The Turks. The North Koreans. I don’t think I’ll last long under torture… I… I… I… Help!

(BEEP)

(THE BEAT THEN DISSOLVES INTO A TIMID KNOCK)

THE INTERVIEW

INTERVIEWER

Hello?

ANT

(STUTTERING) Erm… Sorry… Is this… erm… The Amelia Project?

INTERVIEWER

No. This is the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs.

ANT

(QUIETLY) Oh. I’m sorry.

(SQUEAK OF THE DOOR AS HE TURNS TO LEAVE AGAIN)

INTERVIEWER

Wait wait, come back! Of course this is Amelia!

ANT

You just said-

INTERVIEWER

Yes, I know I did. It was a joke.

ANT (HALF TALKING OVER THE INTERVIEWER)

Ah, I’m sorry. I’m not very good at this.

INTERVIEWER

This?

ANT

People.

(HE CLOSES THE DOOR)

Conversations.

INTERVIEWER

Relax. You’re doing fine.

ANT

Sorry.

INTERVIEWER

And stop apologising.

ANT

(NERVOUSLY) Sorry. Oh! Sorr- I mean, I… erm…

INTERVIEWER

Why don’t you come in properly? Take off your coat, get comfortable.

(ANT SHUFFLING IN AND SITTING DOWN)

ANT

(WHISPERING) Is it safe to talk here?

INTERVIEWER

(EQUALLY QUIET) What’s said in this room stays in this room.

ANT

Good. I need you to make me dissa-

INTERVIEWER (INTERRUPTS)

What you need my friend, is a good cup of cocoa.

ANT

(SURPRISED) Cocoa?

INTERVIEWER

Trust me

(HE POURS THEM CUPS)

Your name’s Anthony Welbey?

ANT

My colleagues call me Ant.

INTERVIEWER

Well here you go Ant. Enjoy.

(CLINKING OF CUPS, ANT SIPS)

INTERVIEWER

(CURIOUS) How is it?

(PAUSE)

ANT

It’s good.

INTERVIEWER

Considering it would take the pooled efforts of Shakespeare, Proust and Thomas Mann to do descriptive justice to this cocoa, a simple “good” will suffice. I’m guessing you’re a scientist?

ANT

Yes.

INTERVIEWER

(UNIMPRESSED) How thrilling! Who’s after you?

ANT

Most of the world’s military and intelligence organisations.

INTERVIEWER

Well I’ll be jiggered! What kind of a scientist are you?

ANT

I’m a-

INTERVIEWER

No! Let me guess. You’re a… nuclear physicist?

ANT

No.

INTERVIEWER

A nano physicist?

ANT

No.

INTERVIEWER

Hm. An astrophysicist?

ANT

No.

INTERVIEWER

But I’m close?

ANT

...No

INTERVIEWER

(ANNOYED) Well - What are you then?

ANT

An entomologist.

INTERVIEWER

A what?!

ANT

An entomologist.

INTERVIEWER

Isn’t that insects?

ANT

Yes.

INTERVIEWER

You’re joking.

ANT

No.

INTERVIEWER

What use does the military have for an entomologist?

ANT

Strictly speaking I’m a dipterologist.

INTERVIEWER

A dipter…?

ANT

I study flies.

INTERVIEWER

(SARCASTIC) Well - Everybody knows our national security depends on dipterologists.

ANT

Yes.

INTERVIEWER

You are joking

ANT

I don’t joke.

INTERVIEWER

Of course.

ANT

I’m also head of the International Union for the Study of Insects.

INTERVIEWER

Look Ant. I’m sure you’re the big enchilada of insect studies, a towering beacon to dipterologists everywhere, but - and please don’t take this the wrong way - don’t you think you’re overestimating the importance of insect study just a teeny tiny little bit?

ANT

(SUDDENLY ANIMATED, TALKING VERY FAST NOW)

Overestimating the importance of insects? Overestimating the importance of insects?! How is it possible to overestimate the importance of insects? What percentage of earth’s creatures do you think are insects?

INTERVIEWER

The way you ask it’s obviously going to be high. I’ll say forty percent.

ANT

Ninety percent.

INTERVIEWER

Get out of here!

ANT

(QUICKLY) It’s true. Take ants. Ten quadrillion ants on the planet. One point four million ants for every human. If you look closely, you can find ants pretty much anywhere. I’ve even seen two or three in this room.

INTERVIEWER

(CHUCKLES) Including you?

ANT (IGNORING HIM)

How many species of insects do you think there are?

INTERVIEWER

I’m not even going to try and answer that qu-

ANT (IGNORING HIM)

Nine million.

INTERVIEWER

Can you name all of them?

ANT (IGNORING HIM)

Some fun facts-

INTERVIEWER

Fun?

ANT (CON’T)

What’s the world’s strongest creature?

INTERVIEWER

You’re going to tell me it’s a flea.

ANT

Wrong. The hercules beetle. It can lift eight hundred and fifty times its own weight. That’s like a human lifting ten elephants.

INTERVIEWER

These Hercules beetles could come in handy for my next move…

ANT

How fast can a horse-fly fly?

INTERVIEWER

You know I don’t-

ANT (CON’T)

One hundred and forty five kilometres per hour. That’s faster than a bullet fired from an air-rifle. How many times does a midge beat its wings in a second?

INTERVIEWER

(EXASPERATED SIGHS)

ANT (CON’T)

A thousand times. Guess how hawk-moths create ultrasonic bursts to drive away bats?

INTERVIEWER

Alright alright alright! I admit there’s more to creepy crawlies than I thought. But-

ANT (CON’T)

By rubbing their genitals together.

INTERVIEWER

(DISGUSTED) Eww!

ANT

(TALKING INCREASINGLY FASTER WITH EVERY WORD) Do you know how old the oldest insect fossil is? Four million years. Insects were among the first animals to transfer from sea to land, they were around a good one hundred and seventy million years before dinosaurs. They range from the 0.014 c fairy fly to the 66 cm stick insect.

(THE INTERVIEWER SLURPS COCOA)

From the weightless fruit fly to the one pound giant weta. Insects-

INTERVIEWER

(AGITATED) Ant! I’m going to stop you there. You’re obviously very passionate about this and I admire your passion. I really do. Believe it or not, I’ll think of you the next time I swat a fly. I bow to you and your entomological knowledge. I’ve never heard anyone say “fruit fly” with such fervour. (EQUALLY UPSET) All I’m saying is, do you seriously think the military and intelligence agencies give a fly’s fart about any of this?

(THE STOP BUTTON IS CLICKED. WE’RE WITH COLE AND HAINES)

HAINES

I knew it! Finally something we can take to Northcott! This is it Cole! We’ve struck gold! Wake up and smell the coffee! And I’m not talking Waitrose instant!

COLE

(QUIETLY) Really?

HAINES

Northcott’s going to install the fanciest espresso machine money can buy right here in our office once she hears about this!

COLE

(DOUBTFUL) What? The insect guy?

HAINES

You haven’t heard of Anthony Welbey?

COLE

Um… no.

HAINES

He used to work for us. Everyone was pretty sceptical, it was a pretty long shot, but apparently he achieved stunning results. Then, about a year ago, he died, taking all of his research to the grave.

COLE

(CATCHING ON) Oh. Except it seems he faked his death…

HAINES

(EXCITED) Bingo! And you and I are the only people to know! This is big! If Anthony Welbey is alive, we have to track him down before anyone else does. If we do, our future in this agency looks very bright indeed!

COLE

You still haven’t said why Welbey is such a big deal…

HAINES

Anthony Welbey is the world’s pioneer-

(THE SOUND OF THE CONVERSATION IS SUDDENLY TURNED DOWN. WE STILL HEAR COLE AND HAINES VERY FAINTLY IN THE BACKGROUND, BUT WE CAN'T MAKE OUT WHAT THEY'RE SAYING. TWO RUSSIAN AGENTS SPEAK OVER THEM, THE FOLLOWING IS ALL IN RUISSIAN)

RUSSIAN AGENT 1

Months of listening to these two idiots and finally something useful!

RUSSIAN AGENT 2

So they know about Anthony Welby and the plans for the Cybug? Shall we tell Mikhail?

RUSSIAN AGENT 1

No! Not yet...

RUSSIAN AGENT 2

But-

RUSSIAN AGENT 1

We need to find out exactly what they know... Let's keep listening...

RUSSIAN AGENT 2

Alright!

(THEY TURN THE VOLUME BACK UP AND WE HEAR COLE AND HAINES CLEARLY AGAIN)

HAINES

...surveillance

COLE

Jesus...

HAINES

Told you!

COLE

We need to get hold of this Welbey!

HAINES

Yes, and before our competitors do!

COLE

Well - we’re one step ahead... We know the truth... We know he's not really dead… Let’s keep listening and find out what really happened...

HAINES

Yes.

(BRIEF REWIND. PLAY)

INTERVIEWER

(LOUD) All I’m saying is, do you seriously think the military and intelligence agencies give a fly’s fart about any of this?

ANT

(CALM) They do.

INTERVIEWER

(HIGH-PITCHED) So what’s the grand idea? Hm? Recruiting an army of bloodthirsty mosquitos?

ANT

That would be silly.

INTERVIEWER

(SARCASTIC) Oh, you think?

ANT

Can you make me disappear? Can you fake my death?

INTERVIEWER

Only once you’ve told me why the secret services are after you.

ANT

They’re interested in bugs

INTERVIEWER

(HUMORLESS) Ha! You’re getting the hang of this.

ANT

Of what?

INTERVIEWER

Jokes.

ANT

I made a joke?

INTERVIEWER

They’re interested in bugs. But not your kind of bugs.

ANT

You’re wrong.

INTERVIEWER

Explain.

ANT

I told you how ubiquitous insects are. How tiny. How adept at camouflage. There are probably around a hundred insects in this room right now, and chances are you haven’t noticed a single one.

INTERVIEWER

(SLOWLY CATCHING ON) Hmm.

(PAUSE)

Continue…

ANT

I told you how fast insects are. How agile. An insect can move within inches of a person without being detected.

INTERVIEWER

Is this going where I think it’s going?

ANT

Mobile, self powered and inconspicuous…

INTERVIEWER

You didn’t…? Impossible…!

ANT

What better way to be a fly on the wall … than to be a fly on the wall.

INTERVIEWER

(SUDDENLY UNDERSTANDING) You bugged bugs?

ANT

They hired me to conduct research into insect based surveillance.

INTERVIEWER

(INTERESTED) And your work was successful?

ANT

Not at first. They wanted to build a miniature flying robot modeled on a fly. They got me in to explain how flies convert biological energy into flight. But all their attempts at imitating the complexity of millions of years of evolution failed. So I made a different suggestion.

INTERVIEWER

What did you suggest?

ANT

Using actual flies.

INTERVIEWER

Well. Hit me over the head with a shillelagh! How did you do that?

ANT

By taking advantage of the insect’s natural healing mechanism. I inserted a microchip into a larva, then, during metamorphosis, the insect reorganised its nervous system, intertwining its nerves and muscles with the circuit. I could now transmit signals to the chip and control the insect's behaviour. In other words, I created the world’s first… Cybug.

INTERVIEWER

Well. This is a lot to take in. I’m going to need some more cocoa. Top up?

ANT

Yes!

(STOP IS CLICKED)

HAINES

Kettle’s just boiled. More coffee?

COLE

Yes please.

(SOUND OF POURING. THE VOLUME IS DECREASED, A BOTTLE IS SCREWED OPEN AND MORE POURING IS HEARD. THE FOLLOWING IS IN RUSSIAN AGAIN)

RUSSIAN AGENT 1

How about a vodka to celebrate? Mikhail is going to be very happy with us.

RUSSIAN AGENT 2

I never say no to a vodka!

(MORE POURING, BOTTLE IS SCREWED SHUT AGAIN, CLINKING OF GLASSES)

RUSSIAN AGENT 2

Cheers!

RUSSIAN AGENT 1

Cheers!

(VOLUME TURNED BACK UP. SIPPING)

COLE

Is it just me or is this coffee getting shittier by the day?

HAINES

Yeah… Play.

(PLAY)

INTERVIEWER

(SIGH) Ahhhhhhhhhh. It’s like snogging an angel! (ANOTHER SIGH) Please, continue your story.

ANT

The cybug has the potential to revolutionise surveillance. It can be kitted out with microphones, sensors or cameras. And it can keep going for months, maybe even years. The cybug’s devices aren’t powered by batteries, but by converting the heat and energy generated by the insect. It’s a completely self contained system.

INTERVIEWER

So the cybug makes drones history…

ANT

It’s smaller, swifter and practically impossible to detect. Which is why the race is on. The future of espionage belongs to the first nation to employ cybugs.

INTERVIEWER

You’re working for MI5.

ANT

(FLAT) I’m hiding from MI5.

INTERVIEWER

Why?

ANT

I told MI5 I’d made a breakthrough. But before presenting my first cybug to them, I wanted to make sure it functioned correctly, so (SHEEPISHLY) I took it out for a spin.

INTERVIEWER

Where did you take it?

ANT

Shaftesbury Avenue. Listened in on tourists, bankers, policemen, couples and (CHUCKLES) hen parties. It worked a treat! Then I decided to up the stakes and directed the cybug towards Downing Street.

INTERVIEWER

Flip me like a pancake! You flew the cybug into number ten?

ANT

No. Before I got there I lost control of it.

INTERVIEWER

Oh! (SUDDENLY REALIZING EXACTLY WHAT THAT MEANS) Oh!

ANT

(STUTTERING) It stopped reacting to the signals and all of a sudden it was gone.

INTERVIEWER

Do you think it regained its independence and flew away?

ANT

(FAST) I very much doubt that. The bug’s connection with its bio-electromechanical interface was deeply embedded.

INTERVIEWER

So what’s your explanation?

ANT

Someone hacked into it.

INTERVIEWER

Who?

ANT

I don’t know that. All I know is that someone took control of the cybug and … stole it!

INTERVIEWER

Have you told MI5?

ANT

I’ve just lost fifty million pounds worth of top secret surveillance technology! (THE INTERVIEWER HUMS IN UNDERSTANDING) And who’s to say I didn’t sell it to the North Koreans? It’s not like they haven’t been making offers. (GETTING FASTER AND MORE UPSET AND SCARED, VOICE ALMOST FLIPPING) The North Koreans, the Saudis, the Israelis, the Scottish, the Chinese. It’s only a matter of time before they take me by force. If MI5 doesn’t take care of me first…

INTERVIEWER

(VERY CALM AND GENTLE) Nobody’s going to touch you Ant. You’re with Amelia now.

(STOP)

COLE

Right. Let's tell Northcott right away!

HAINES

(CALM) Let's finish the tape first...

COLE

She needs to hear this!

HAINES

You know what she'll do, right?

COLE

(NOT SEEING A PROBLEM) Send in an armed response team right away?

HAINES

Yes.

COLE

Well - It's time!

HAINES

(FORCED CALM NOW) Let's just finish the tape first

COLE

Fine…

(PLAY)

ANT

I need you to kill me.

INTERVIEWER

Hm. Tell me. What’s the deadliest insect in the world?

ANT

The driver ant.

INTERVIEWER (THIS IS NOT WHAT HE WANTED TO HEAR)

An ant, seriously? Ugh. I was thinking more like a scorpion, a cockroach, a hornet or a black widow spi…

ANT

A black widow?! That's not an insect! Spiders are arachnids!

INTERVIEWER

(SIGHS, ROLLING WITH IT) So, an ant you say?

ANT

Believe me, you don’t want to cross paths with a driver ant. The toxins in their mandibles… Even elephants run away from them.

INTERVIEWER (THIS IS MORE WHAT HE LIKES TO HEAR)

Goodness. (SPARK OF AN IDEA) Imagine a cybug driver ant!

ANT

(SOFTLY) Terrifying.

(PAUSE)

INTERVIEWER

There could be more to the militarisation of insects than just eavesdropping…

ANT

Assassination, sniffing out explosives, the possibilities are endless…

INTERVIEWER

Okay. Here is how this will work. You’re going to hold a lecture on driver ants for the International Union for the Study of Insects. A specimen will escape and hack into you with its toxic mandibles. You’ll drop dead. The world’s leading coleopterologists, lepidopterologists, hemipterologists, trichopterologists and vespologists will all be there to witness it.

ANT

(SCARED) A driver ant bite is no joke.

INTERVIEWER

Don’t worry. We’ll administer the antidote as soon as you’re in the van and out of sight from your colleagues.

ANT

That could work.

INTERVIEWER

It will work! Now. How would you like to resurface?

ANT

(PLEADING) Somewhere I won’t be bothered by humans. Somewhere I can go about my research quietly. Somewhere with only insects as company.

INTERVIEWER

Oh. Okay, yes, I’ve got just the place for you. It’s a remote spot in Russia. There’s a hut, a forest to pick berries, and a stream to fish in. It’ll be a simple life, but you’ll be undisturbed.

ANT

Perfect! Have you heard of amarysius duplicatus?

INTERVIEWER

(SARCASTIC) Who hasn’t?

ANT

It’s a long-horned beetle, almost extinct, but the last remaining specimens are said to be found in Russia. It’ll be my mission to track them down!

INTERVIEWER

Perfect! We’ll send you off in style with a bottle of our finest Veuve Clicquot! But just before we do that, one last question…

ANT

Yes?

INTERVIEWER

What are you going to do with the plans for the cybug?

ANT

Burn them.

INTERVIEWER

No.

ANT

No?

INTERVIEWER

(DEADLY SERIOUS) Amelia gets the plans.

ANT

What?

INTERVIEWER

Payment for your disappearance.

ANT

You don’t want those plans, believe me!

INTERVIEWER

Oh but we do.

ANT

You’ll get yourselves into all sorts of trouble!

INTERVIEWER

We can handle it.

ANT

You don’t know what you’re getting yourselves into…

INTERVIEWER

(LOSING PATIENCE) It’s very simple Ant. You give us the plans and we take care of your disappearance. You don’t, and you’re on your own.

(PAUSE)

Do we have a deal?

ANT

You’re making a big mistake.

(PAUSE)

INTERVIEWER

Do we have a deal?

ANT

Yes.

INTERVIEWER

(CHEERY AGAIN) Excellent choice!

(CORK-EXPLOSION, HISS OF CHAMPAGNE BEING POURED INTO FLUTES)

INTERVIEWER

What was the name of that long horned beetle?

ANT

Amarysius duplicatus.

INTERVIEWER

Then that’s what we should toast to! Amarysius duplicatus!

ANT

Amarysius duplicatus.

(STOP)

COLE

We need those plans!

HAINES

You're right. We can't put this off any longer. It's time we paid Amelia a visit!

COLE

(CHUCKLES) Ready or not, here we come! We're about to find out what that cocoa really tastes like...

HAINES

Oh, Cole, watch out!

COLE

What?

HAINES

Uhm, Mosquito.

COLE

Where?

HAINES

Uh, there!

(PAUSE)

There on your right cheek. Swat it!

(SOUND OF COLE SLAPPING HIS CHEEK)

COLE

Damn. I didn’t get it.

HAINES

There it is, look.

HAINES

Take that you little bloods-
