Flicking errant - and nonexistent - thread from her sleeve of unstable-molecule costume, she didn't immediately meet Kate's eyes.  "You might say that.  I doubt most paparazzi have twelve legs, chitin, and a multitude of eyes and wings.  It looked more like something out of a Miyazaki film about the giant bugs than anything normal.  It also had a technological headset with which it was transmitting data to sources unknown.  I do not think it had the capability of building such a thing itself, and it definitely was intelligent enough to make plans."  She stopped and gazed calmly at Kate Power, crossing her arms beneath her breasts.  "You would not happen to recall any mutants or organizations that could create and control monstrous insectile creatures, would you?  I was going to ask Gwen the same thing."<br/><br/>Petra's eyes flicked past Kate to glance at Martin and Gwen and she quickly looked back at Kate.  "I did not kill it.  It apparently had some kind of light creation and hypnotic powers.  The tree it was in is probably going to need some tending to though.  So, it is still out there, and whomever it was relaying information to is still watching.  It did not seem to have harmful intent, which it was pretty insistent about.  That does not mean I believe it though....as you might have been able to tell."  Petra started unbuttoning her dress shirt, revealing the skintight iridescent black and opalescent white patterning of her X-Force  costume, and then sighed.  She'd lost her cufflink.  She completely ignored the fact she seemed to be undressing in public - the ruined shirt was much more embarrassing.  "I think it was genetically engineered somehow."
