Not exactly a bad point, really. Just because one collective entity wants to play nice doesn’t mean others will– we saw that with Cypress’s daughter, who was about to unleash a zombie apocalypse on a city full of innocent people who had no direct control over the circumstances of her husband’s death. At the very least, it is a smart idea to know Cypress’s location in case she ever does go rogue, so some strategic firebombing can alleviate the situation before she gets out of control.
Trust without verification and contingency planning in a world of mad science, sapient ever-expanding collective organisms and rogue infectious werewolves is a fool’s gambit, says I.
You did catch the “preparing for war” and “neutralizing” bits, right? This isn’t “this information might eventually be useful”, it’s “we’re an evil government agency, and we’re going to destroy this thing because it’s different”.
Coming from the future, on a reread – man, that dry remark of “you were expecting Mr. Green?” KILLS ME. You just know that Violet Bee is having a real good laugh in her head when she says that.
BUM bum bum!

And how, pray tell, is that different from any other operation at the Pentagon?
Being comparable to other shady government activities is hardly a good thing.
It would be a good point if Anasigma were just prepping for potential worst-case scenarios instead of actively provoking things.

Hey, some people are reading the comic for the first time, so let’s go easy on the spoilers.
