ants colony

"An ant colony is an underground lair where ants live. Colonies consist of a series of underground chambers, connected to each other and the surface of the earth by a series of pipes.... The colony is built and maintained by legions of worker ants called sysantmins who carry tiny bits of data in their mandibles and deposit them near the exit of the colony, forming a SAN (Storage Ant Network)"
