The hivemind is conquering for me?

The air cab landed in front of a large 20 story building that had a large ‘H’ over the entranceway. The door to the vehicle opened not too long after landing as the driver stared straight at his feet making himself as small as possible.

As I got out I ignored the Pissant completely as the sooner I forget about him the happier I will be. The glare and the cold indifference Samantha and Sophia gave off respectively make the man want to cry with fear however.

I strode a little ahead taking in the scenery while Sophia hung back a moment to talk to Samantha in a whisper. “I want a full lineage cleansing. Family, extended family, all the way to third cousins do you understand?” “Yes Mother.” “Good hang back and make the calls. Have Keyla lead the investigation, I want it done by tonight.”

“*haaah* Mmmh~ Apollo!” Keyla, the woman in question had just arched her back in pleasure while giving herself a release. She was currently staring up at the ceiling in her room where a blown up picture of Apollo changing this morning was present. Not that, that was the only one. On her walls on the floor underneath her on the bed thousands of pictures in a multitude of poses and levels of undress.

Pictures. Pictures everywhere.

Keyla was ready for round 17 before her personal communicator device began chiming next to her. Checking who it was she answered eagerly in case Apollo was in the background so she would have more material to use. “Hey Sammy, what’s up? “It is Samantha. Stop doing that. What are you doing?” Samantha questioned seeing Keyla’s dishevelled hair.

“Oh I just came all over Apollo’s face, and if you have nothing better to do I wish to do it at least a few more times before I want to be bothered again.”

Samantha’s cheeks grew flushed at the notion. “Stop fooling around! I have an order from Mother.” “Sweet! Who is dying? I haven’t had a bite from a live one in some time!” “Target- Kaeso Vibus of the ‘Discreet’ air cab company. Reason- Attempted assault on Apollo.

Mother has instructed a full lineage cleansing up to third cousins. I trust you can handle this?”

Turning the volume down in preparation as she was currently in a public place Samantha awaited the shrill. “YAY! Whoo-hoo! Ah man, I’m so excited! Yea I should be able to get it done in a few hours.”

Ending the communication as she could tell that her BFF was getting annoyed by her breathing pattern, Keyla got up and removed the picture that had gotten stuck to her underside due to her… Excitement.

Stroking the picture in her hand she began to talk to it. “My strong, strong Apollo. Some nobody thought they could pick on you? They are not worth your time. Shhhhh” She began to rub the picture along her face. “It is ok, your ‘life of the party’ will take care of everything.

They are so below your position, your eager slave will exterminate the pests for you. She asks no reward. NEVER! Just stay and let me love you.”

As if a switch had been flicked, Keyla put down the picture of Apollo carefully and began getting dressed while humming a pleasant tune. “with a *hum* *hum* here and a *Hum* Hum* there-” It did not take long for Keyla to get dressed and head downstairs.

Walking through the club she took the elevator down from behind the bar before going to find her entourage for the mission. After briefing her underlings they began to get to work. Through bribes and spies they were able to find out that 99% of the targets family lived in the southern hemisphere making the job easier.

only the targets fiancée and two month old baby were living in the northern hemisphere. Keyla decided to kidnap the fiancée herself and have a treat while there. Because who doesn’t like veal?

Meanwhile with the more sane party, Apollo and Sophia were waiting in a private office for their ‘friend’ to arrive.

“Hey soph, you feeling any better? You seemed angry about that driver on the flight earlier.” “Oh I’m well past that now my love, Lets just focus on getting you what you want.” Sophia replied whilst placing her hand high up my thigh.

It was at this moment a woman walked in. She was in her late 40s with red hair, but due to her lavish lifestyle and expensive cosmetic routine she did not look a day over 25. “Sophia, So good to see you.” She said in a high pitch tone as she walked over to us. “It is good to see you too Kathrine.” Sophia then turned to me. “Apollo, This is Kathrine Hyllus of the Ecumenopolis 1 Hyllus’.

Kathrine, This is Arcon Apollo of the unfortunately lost outer rim world named after his father and himself, Apollo-minor.

“A pleasure to meet a woman as beautiful as you, lady Kathrine” I bowed while kissing the back of her hand, as it seemed to work the last time I did it. The small amount of blush that crept through her makeup radiated Kathrine’s skin at the compliment “Oh my, Sophia you did not tell me you were bringing such a looker to my office, I might have to keep him. And the pleasure is all mine my dear.

Please sit.”

Taking my seat, Kathrine took her seat in a extra large gaudy chair that I supposed was to act like a throne for the woman. “Now tell me, What can I do for the two of you?” Kathrine had expected Sophia to come alone today so she could pay her bribe to keep the incriminating evidence the woman had on her a secret.

Sophia saw the confusion behind Kathrine’s eyes for a split second and secretly smirked before commenting. “Apollo here Is the most important person in my life Kathrine, When he was a baby I was only 8 maybe and we were arranged to be wed.” Kathrine’s eyes went wide at the information. For years she had tried to find information on Sophia and came up empty, the woman was a ghost.

And yet now she was giving away information.

“I left the planet the next day with my family as we were friends of the king but we had our own affairs to take care of. It was not shortly after we left did the repulsive swarm descend from the bowels of space and lay siege to the small planet.

It was through valiant bravery and sacrifice of Apollos father and his men that he and his sister managed to escape.” Sophia let out a fake tear as her act played out. Kathrine being the patriot she was, took the story hook line and sinker.

“It was not until 3 years ago did I find out my husband to be and sister in law survived the invasion and had been living with other friends of my family in secret all this time. When I found out I had began making preparations for them to come join me and now they are finally here, where they should be.” Sophia said with her eyes wet with emotion.

“However there is one small issue in which I need your help with.”

Kathrine cleared her throat. “Of course what do you need?” “Well you see, Apollos and his sweet sister Orchids Planetary documentation was lost during the invasion. I need you to help me with forging his new identity and getting his title of Arcon reinstated.”

Sophia’s request caused Kathrine to frown. “Lady Sophia what you are asking me to do is illegal. If Apollo here has no paperwork he is considered a traitor you understand? I could be facing serious damage to my family if I was caught.”

Sophia expected this. “Of course I know Kathrine, Thats why my payment will be more than worth it.” Sophia handed over a binder she had been clutching the entire meeting. Once Kathrine Opened the document her eyes bulged wide. “All the evidence of your embezzling from the Spartari military during your service. 80 billion credits. That is the only copy and only the three of us know.”

Kathrine’s face twisted from shocked to enraged to calculating before she smiled. With this, her business with Sophia would be concluded and she would be free of the sword that had been hanging over her head for the last 12 years.

Standing up, with a Schoch of over excitement she reached out her hand to Sophia. “Very well lady Sophia, We have a deal. I shall have your documentation in the week. Just courier a picture of this Orchid to me and let me take a quiiick” *click* She took her communication device in a split second and took a photo in record time.

“Snap of the handsome man here for the photographs on the documents and we should be fine.”

“A pleasure doing business with you Kathrine.” “And you as well Sophia.” Kathrine said before turning to me and leaning in to whisper. “And you my handsome Arcon, If you ever get tired of the cold snatch to your left, you can always come to me. I will ride you until you see stars.”

“A woman such as you? I would be so lucky. I will take your words to heart and hope we meet again.” With my words of flattery said, we were ushered out of the building with extreme respect. “Do you wish to go home straight away my sweet?” Sophia asked looking at my smile.

“Nah, not yet. Look there’s Samantha eating in that café, lets grab her and have a walk around the city.”
