Tymbal:
You and your squad are one of the worst heaps of incompetent ninnies I have ever had the displeasure of ruling over. You had a simple job: observe, report, protect. A nymph could have done it! A group of trained squirrels could have done it! I established those covers for you myself, you imbecilic blockhead!
And I find out that instead of doing your job, you were helping children make catapults. The only reason I even know what happened is that Kevin went off on his own when you stopped paying attention! If I find that dragon again I have half a mind to feed you to it myself. How could you let that childish distraction be more important than obeying the directives of your queen?
No. Don't bother trying to come up with an answer. This is a written missive, you dolt, you can't talk to it! Kevin gets to stay. At least he tried. The rest of you are immediately removed from duty. Go back to the hive and stay out of my sight. If I have to take notice of you again you'll really be in for it.

hmmm... catapults. Not sure about this reference.

It's not meant to be a specific reference...
...beyond considering the specific group of children in Ponyville most likely to be constructing miniature siege weapons.

Oh no, why did that ‘ling help the CMC make catapults. WHY!
Hm, a quasi-demonic queen sending missives to her inept underlings. It would be hilarious if there was a particularly inept drone named “Screwtape” who was especially bad at his job.
For those playing at home, Kevin will be more relevant when we get to Cranky Doodle Donkey's introduction. He kind of has to be in order to set up his appearance in Season 5 (because yes, he is in fact a canon character).
Wait, what happened?
Once again, Kevin saves the day. Truly, we know nothing of his work

Who said it was miniature?
Ah yes. Good ol reliable Kevin

I believe it was said best in that one episode of Futurama, the galaxy-character "God?" had said on the subject of godly work...
Kinda sad she had to point that out to them.
Even more sad it is probably completely justified...
I kinda hope things didn't change too much. It was a good thing to have Fluttershy grow a bit in that episode.

aww...
no fifth brick?

Well... filly sized...
10469202
But why catapults? Everybody knows they're the inferior siege weapon!
Kevin... Sounds familiar...

Oh man, I forgot about Kevin!
Great bug, wonderful problem solving skills, if a bit slow on social cues
