The hivemind is conquering for me?-Chapter 317: Teleport Activation

After Keyla quickly moved the ship of the teleporter, I was inside looking for things that may be needed back on home world. "Lets see, I have Nerissa’s blood, my armour, my spacesuit, my soon to be Dino nuggies and a few clothes, though I suppose I will be wearing silk drone clothing when I get back. Let’s see... Oh Orchid, do you still have that Sepiida biomass for Jewel?"

Orchid, who was watching from the side, replied. "Regurgitated it a week ago to another Freethinker, already being analysed." I nodded at her remark, glad to know it was already being looked into.

Keyla not shortly after entered the room, just as I was done. I had her put on a simple pair of bra and panties as apparently being fully nude turned her into an incessant lewd machine. "Hey, so I am ready. The sanguine butcher is looking forward to becoming a multi- galactic serial killer!"

Not feeling bad in the slightest that her clearly obvious joke did not land, Keyla asked. "Oh by the way, what is the name of home world? I feel dumb that I don’t know it. I feel like I should know it. Does my parasite not have clearance to tell me or something?"

Orchid and I looked between us for a moment before she replied. "First of all, your parasite no longer has any restrictions Keyla. The only thing stopping you from becoming a full member of the hive at this point is time. Second. Home world has no need for a name. It is Home world."

"You don’t have a name for your own planet? That is weird." Keyla said, showing off the human part of herself. "Keyla." I started. "The fraction of the hive you have seen is technically an outlier among the rest of the hive. Literally over 99.9% do not talk or think the same way as we do. Even the under-link that allows you all to talk fast among one another is still basic as Sophia has to think and instruct in a very human way. Honestly, outside of bio cultists like Sophia, the Hive had no use for names until I was born. It is a very primitive concept to them. The only reason Orchid likes her name is because I gave it to her. That is why she so cutely speaks in the third person all the time, it gives her joy. Otherwise she would just prefer being called ’it or she’, wouldn’t you love-bug?"

"Orchid gets tingles every time her name is spoken, yes. Apollo-love could call me anything though and I would enjoy it. The same is true for the queen. We slow down our functions considerably around Apollo, but one day he will be able to communicate at our level, it is just a matter of time."

Keyla showed a content expression as she said. "You know, our existence is kind of odd huh? I feel like I should know all of this considering I am technically a limb of big mommy." I shrugged and replied. "Well how often does a regular human know every little thing about their body? I know about my own because I am genetically altered and can feel my entire being when I want, but others can’t. They are totally in the dark. It’s a similar situation in your case. You are learning about your extended body. Also, don’t feel like you can’t ask anything here. We are all here for one another after all."

I then flashed a smile at Keyla that made her entire body shudder before she whispered out. "Ok."

After leaving the ship, we made our way towards the teleport array. I felt a slight unease build up within myself as I had not been atomically displaced since I walked through the door to my new life.

Orchid felt my unease and attempted to reassure me. "Do not worry Apollo-love, from what I am aware, the process should not hurt in the slightest. It did not hurt the queen when she used it. Your entire body will be deconstructed by Psionic energy and transported safely to the other array where you will be put back together again."

Orchids reassurance did not help in the slightest as my face became a little pale at the thought. ’It will be fine, nothing ever goes wrong with these types of things. I will be back home in no time.’ I reassured myself, thinking purposeful death flags to tempt fate into my favour.

Now standing in the middle of the platform, I felt Orchid begin to manipulate a small amount of Psionic energy, something I do not see her do often outside of her telepathy. Deciding to leave being turned on by it for later, I watched as the small amount of energy seemingly acted like a catalyst and I suddenly felt an exorbitant amount of energy begin to amass around my being.

The energy was then being absorbed by the large spires, turning them blue as they spiralled upwards past the planet’s atmosphere. At this point, I felt a mixture of awe and terror at the sheer amount of Psionic energy being manipulated by the array.

Because Orchid and Keyla were part or somewhat part of the hive, that meant that they counted as Jewel inside of the array. The amount of energy actually left me baffled as it was easily enough to cause an insane amount of damage, perhaps even destroy planets with the amount of energy around me.

As the seemingly endless amount of energy continually charged the spires around us, I began to notice a blue glow begin to envelop us and before I could ask when we would be shot off, the three of us were encompassed by a giant blue laser, leaving nothing behind where we once were.

...

Kathrine walked inside of Sophia’s unannounced, her heels clacking with confidence and purpose. Kathrine felt an odd sensation as she walked past the staff of the closed club. Before, these people were just Sophia’s odd acting staff. Now though, they were aliens, disguised in the bodies of their former selves.

She did not know how she didn’t realise earlier. As she walked, some would turn to her and take a large inhale, as though they smelt something strange about her. Which she was correct about.

Kathrine made her way to the bar and sat down. "Excuse me." She said politely, as the power dynamic had slightly changed now she knew her place in the universe. Behind the bar, a man with blue skin and horns turned around from cleaning the floor. As he noticed Lady Hyllus, he felt like she smelt different, but could not quite place it.

"Hello Lady Hyllus, Is there anything I can get for you? The club might be closed, but Sophia has made it clear that you are an exception to the rule." Kathrine looked at the ’Sepiidan’s nametag and replied.

"Maybe just a brandy? I am not here to drink, you see. I need to see either Sophia, Samantha or Onyx as quickly as possible." Letho paused for a moment, feeling an unspoken tension in the air. Still, he finished pouring Lady Hyllus her drink as he began.

"Mistress Samantha and Onyx are currently off planet... Indisposed. As for Sophia, she is currently not available either. You will have to wait a few hours if you wish to see her." Kathrine smiled at Letho and took a small sip before she asked.

"Oh, Is Sophia in the middle of one of her underground gatherings? How big is the flock today?" Letho froze, as did some of the nearby workers as they all began to stare at Kathrine.

"Lady Hyllus, I do not understand what you mean." Letho said, with enough uncertainty in his voice that Kathrine would have been fooled if she did not have the information she had. "Just go and tell Sophia what I have said, if you haven’t already that is. I am unarmed, I just want to talk."

Letho seemed paralyzed by indecision, thankfully a pair of higher ups made the decision for him. "Go on Letho, do as Lady Hyllus has asked." Maddy said. "Yes, we will keep her company until Lady Sophia decides what she wants to do." Mandie followed up.

Letho wasted no more time and ran away under the watch of the three women. Once he entered the elevator, Kathrine turned back to the two women wearing sunglasses and smiled. "I like your glasses." She said, but got no response from the two women.

Ten minutes later, Sophia stepped off the elevator wearing a maroon dress. Without a word, as she approached, Maddy and Mandie left, alongside all the other staff that had not so subtly been blocking the exits.

As Sophia approached Kathrine, she could not help smell the woman, No panic, no worry and an overwhelming, exhilarating Psionic smell of her sweet exuded out the woman.

Sophia poured herself a drink without saying a word then moved around the bar and sat directly next to Kathrine. As she sat down, she took a sip of her drink before asking.
