The hivemind is conquering for me?

Ecumenopolis 1 :Olympus

Hugo was sitting behind his desk with two milkshakes while he filled out some work while waiting. A moment later, there was a knock on the door. ”Come in.” He said calmly and looked up from his desk.

He knew who would be entering his office and smiled. ”Hello Gabrielle, come on in, I got you a milkshake.” He said energetically as he pointed towards the shake closest to the guest chair.

As Gabrielle sat down and took the shake, Hugo took in a large breath. ”So, I tell you to come right back after your injury and instead you disobey, disappearing for a week and then suddenly, three days ago, I find out you were at Princess Hailey’s military checkpoint. Why did you not come right back?”

”Because I wanted to think about things without being lectured about my mental state.” Gabrielle said calmly, which surprised Hugo. ”Hugo there is something-” Hugo put up his hand to cut Gabrielle off and started himself.

”Gabrielle. I have come across some information that has a correlation to you. I have been debating whether or not to tell you about it for your mental state and I actually am glad you disobeyed orders to come back right away as It has given me time to think.”

Hugo then clicked a button on his desk and an energy force field surrounded the walls of the room. Gabrielle and his other patients could sometimes lash out during their sessions. It was better to have a room that could withstand the force of the lashing out somewhat.

Hugo then cleared his throat to begin. ”I did not believe you when you first told me that after nearly two decades, that the son you left behind was now ’suddenly alive.’ It was far fetched and quite frankly, impossible.”

Gabrielle narrowed her eyes at Hugo, but let the man continue speaking. ”That was until just over a week ago at Queen Elaine’s party. At that party, I met someone. A man. eighteen years old and he was there as a plus one to Kathrine Hyllus.”

”Okay.” Gabrielle said after Hank stared at her for a moment. He then sighed as he continued. ”The man was close with the Hyllus family, even Lady Valerica Hyllus was going around calling herself his mother.”

The metal armrests of Gabrielle’s chair suddenly cried out as they spontaneously collapsed in on themselves while Hugo continued. ”The man was named Archon Apollo Lambdason, and when I asked him which planet he hailed from, he told me he was from the fallen planet of Apollo-minor.”

Hugo then stood up and walked around the table. He then proceeded to squat down next to Gabrielle and held her hand and he took in a deep breath, preparing for the worst. ”Gabrielle, after extensive research and with the timeline connecting up. I believe that this man, this Apollo Lambdason is somehow, your biological son.”

”I know.” Gabrielle said calmly, which caused Hugo to begin ranting. ”Now Gabrielle you need to stay calm! Have some milkshake to calm yourself down, when you are calm, we will talk about what this means. Just remember to stay...calm. Wait what?”

Hugo then pulled away from Gabrielle and looked at her confused. ”What do you mean, you know?” Gabrielle then smiled. ”Yeah, I found out the other day via Hailey, I am only here for some unfinished business after all, my son is out there and needs me.”

Gabrielle then pulled out a document from the top of her armour and handed it over to Hugo. ”Sign that please” She said to the large man who seemed to be in a stupor. Hugo snapped to a moment later and looked down at the papers he was just given. ’Retirement form?’

He then turned to Gabrielle with a confused look on his face. ”Gabrielle, you can’t just hand over to me forms you have made up yourself and expect me to sign them. You know being a part of this organisation is a lifetime commitment.

Gabrielle expected this and smiled politely. ”I understand. However, if you do not let me go and deal with the matters that pertain to my baby, this organisation will cease to exist.” Her smile was so cute and bubbly, that you might have just forgotten for a moment that she just threatened high treason.

Hugo rubbed his head before he looked over to his salvation. Reaching across his desk he picked up his milkshake and began slurping like crazy. After a moment he sighed out in satisfaction and looked at Gabrielle harshly.

”Gabrielle, as of this moment for threatening Olympus, I am giving you a year’s suspension with pay. Once you leave today, you cannot return until your suspension is lifted.” Gabrielle smiled at Hugo to which he shook his head.

”No, no! This is not a happy moment. This is sad, very sad. Threatening Olympus is a serious thing Gabrielle.” He scolded, but Gabrielle just smiled further. ”Hey, Hugo. Could you do one more thing for me before I leave?”

Hugo softened his disappointed dad’s act and smiled as he asked. ”Of course Gabrielle, what do you need?” Gabrielle’s face flashed with a speck of insanity for a moment before she looked up and asked. ”Could you give me that bitch, Valerica Hyllus’ address please?”

...

”Urgh! Urgh! Yea Baby! Don’t Stop! One- More-Aaah!” Valerica breathed out in relief as she finished her bench press set. She just set a new personal best despite gorging herself with food and drink for the past week.

As she looked at herself in the mirror, she noticed some of her abs have become less defined as her fat percentage had increased ever so slightly. ”*Sigh* Well, I suppose I am a new mommy again. It is actually encouraged that I let myself go just a smidgen.”

She said to herself as she made her way to the treadmill for a casual marathon. The moment she stepped on, the bell for her house went off. She left it to Hank as she wanted no interactions for now and if it was an intruder, well Hank will deal with it somehow.

Unfortunately for her, just as she got to her desired pace, Hank pressed the intercom and began speaking through it. ”Are you there dear? You have to come down to meet our guest. She is from Olympus, It is non negotiable.”

Valerica positioned her legs on either side of the moving treadmill and closed her eyes as she sighed frustrated. ’I swear if it is who I think it is, I am going to lose my shit.’ After getting dressed into more formal wear, fortunate for whoever Valerica was thinking of, it was not that individual and instead was a woman she vaguely recognised.

Gabrielle then extended her hand for the woman in front of her and introduced herself. ”Gabrielle-” She started before Valerica cut her off. ”Oh Icy veins’ guardian. Now I remember. What brings you to my humble abode?”

Gabrielle looked around the room for a moment as she thought. ’Humble?’ She then turned to Valerica and stated. ”I am here following reports of a man named.” She faked checking a document as she did not want to seem too eager. ”Apollo Lambdason. As Princess Hailey’s chief of security, I want to make sure the man will not pose a threat in the future. And with you being his self proclaimed mother, I thought it best to start with you.”

Valerica smiled ecstatic upon hearing what Gabrielle just said. ’So word is getting around about my wonderful son?’ She then looked at Gabrielle with much more hospitality. ”Of course, the princess’ safety is important after all. Come in, let us talk in great detail about how spectacular my Apollo is. Honestly, I could not have grown a better child if I tried.”

”What about Kathrine?” Gabrielle said as she began to follow Valerica inside. ”Who?” Valerica asked as she turned around slightly. ”Oh right. Yes she is fine I suppose.”

…

Meanwhile, on the almost exact opposite side of the world at the Ecumenopolis 1 Hyllus business main office, Milo Hyllus was sitting in his chair, enjoying a collection of snacks while he was doing his work.

As he placed another allotment of goods into his mouth, he suddenly got a knock at his office door. Brushing the crumbs off his shirt, he sat upright and hid his snacks in his top drawer.

After a moment, he composed himself and with a raised voice said. ”Enter!” The door then opened slowly and Milo smiled lovingly upon seeing who entered. A Sepiida with blue hair, golden horns and pointed ears.

”Talia, my love. I have not been with you since the queens party. Have you been avoiding me?” Milo jested. Talia then walked further into the room with a determination in her step. ”Have you come to have some fun? Sorry my sweet I cannot have sex now I am busy with work, but if you want to suck me off, I would be ok with that.”

Talia said nothing as she approached Milo’s desk. She then reached into the clutch purse she was carrying and retrieved a series of documents, before she dropped them onto the desk. Then with a booming voice so all those outside of the door she left ajar could hear her, she yelled.

”Milo! I want a divorce!”
