The hivemind is conquering for me?

On a Lush world, a biomass heaven, Prime three stood atop a 45 meter long carcass and roared out loud, sending spittle flying everywhere! She did it! Her distant mate accepted her trophy! He even said he wanted to meet her as soon as possible! His body must be burning as passionately as hers is!

Prime three was lucky. She had been preparing for this day for 18 years. Stealing top of the line biomass and storing it in herself for when the time was right. looking over in the distance, her bio forms, more evolved than any other primes fleet, her simple warriors had the battle capability of a basic Freethinker after all.

These perfect beings were severing their link to the hive before killing themselves in Helping achieve Prime three’s goal. Below the pile of corpses, A teleport array had been crudely built in a slightly different design than what the hive usually uses. Instead of teleporting to a direct location. It would teleport Prime three to a body, a very specific body. A body so specific she had linked into the monitors that had been monitoring said body during its enhancements, telling her exactly how his entire body was composed, making her task infinitely easier to achieve.

Still, Prime three was running tight. It was incredibly hard to keep things from her queen, especially things she would not approve of. She would need almost the entire planet’s biomass alongside a good portion of her willing bio-forms to achieve her goal and show Apollo that she is his ’best girl!’

Prime three then turned to the sky, her eyes staring almost directly where Apollo was in the far reaches of space. ’Soon my far away mate! Soon I will be by your side! Soon I will feel your love deep within me and any that stand in my way will not do so for long!’ Another roar escaped prime three’s mouth, that was then responded to by the countless bio forms in her surroundings, a scene that would terrify any being.

…

The next day after Nukumi left, Keyla Orchid and I had used the teleport array one last time to make it back to Apollo minor. Reunited with Jewel, I had donned my power armour and with my requested warrior strain, we were all inside a void swimmer waiting for the fleet to exit the tendril.

Looking outside through the thin membrane, I was excited and asked. ”How long now Jewel? Jewel turned to me and smiled. ”After I finish speaking right now.” She said and sure enough, where there had just been space a moment ago, hundreds of ships just began manifesting out of thin air.

A new scouting force had just entered Elysium and the majority of their eyes were set on the genetically diverse Coalition of species and planets that inhabit a large portion of this galaxy. While a smaller portion would continue their hunt in Spartari Space.

Thinking about the state of this galaxy, I suddenly thought of something and turned to Jewel. ”Oh, Jewel, by the way. Have you managed to get to the other side of the galaxy at all yet? There is a Species of galactic invaders called the Drakoshi. They must be strong as they have been at constant war with both the coalition and Spartari for decades.”

”Oh you mean that clone race? Yes, I managed to sneak a couple ships down there at one point. I managed to eat a few of the beings you are referring to. They did actually intrigue me a little as from what I tasted, they seem to get stronger after every battle they fight with their leaders being their strongest warriors. I look forward to consuming them in the future once the tendrils have stretched to that side of the galaxy.”

After the lead ship loomed ever closer, it eventually swallowed the void swimmer we were inside of before almost the entire fleet disappeared again. They would travel to the end of the current tendril then the designated hunting ground would only be a week away.

...

Kathrine sat inside her office. She had finally been able to talk to Apollo once more without the fire lady, who she found out was called Sol, kicking her out of the Paradise that was Apollo’s Mindspace.

What she had just learnt about the hives movements could help out Spartari a great deal. She might be loyal to Apollo and to an extent, the hive. But by weakening Spartari’s enemies, she would be helping the hive.

Deciding it would be best to follow her instincts, as Apollo said he would not stop her from being herself, Kathrine used an encrypted communication crystal and after a second, she connected through, only to hear a cacophony of binaric squawking.

”Um, Jocasta? Are you there?” Kathrine asked, which caused the squawking to stop. Coming centre frame, a woman covered head to toe with metal augmentations squinted her eyes in lieu of a smile, for she no longer had a mouth.

”Ah Lady Hyllus, forgive me. Not many people have this encryption, so I believed you to be one of my colleagues. Tell me, what can I do for you?” Kathrine frowned as she looked at the background of the display in front of her. ”I wished to inform the King of something, however with the new war, he has changed his encryptions. I was hoping you would relay a message, but you don’t seem to be on his ship.”

Jocasta chirped in realization before she replied. ”Oh I understand. Unfortunate timing. Yes I am temporarily away from King Sigismund’s Ship. I am at my repository on Vallerand. Backing up my memory and working on a few experiments while I do so.”

Jocasta then squinted her eyes, smiling once more. ”Speaking of experiments, how is Apollo Lambdason? I heard he survived and was able to use Psionic energy while under Anti Psionic suppression. This has peaked my interest even more and my desire for a bisensuous collaboration has peaked even further.”

Kathrine narrowed her eyes. She did not like women going after her husband. She already had enough competition. ”Apollo is fine, he is an incredible man after all. He is currently back in the outer rim dealing with a matter. When will you be able to communicate with Sigismund? He needs to hear what I have to say.”

”Very well, I can tell you are annoyed by my questioning. Tell me what you wish to relay to the King and I will inform him shortly.” Jocasta said flatly. Kathrine nodded before she started. ”I cannot give my source, I hope that my past record is enough evidence to go on. In a week’s time, the Coalition are going to be sending their troops in mass towards their galactic northern borders. I have it on good authority that after a deep space scan, a large fleet of the swarm has been spotted heading towards Coalition space. I believe after they are engaged with the bugs, that we use the opportunity to begin our assaults into their space.”

There was a pause after Kathrine spoke before Jocasta replied. ”Ok. Thank you Kathrine. Your intelligence is valued. I will relay the information to King Sigismund as hastily as I can. Take care and remember, Inform Archon Apollo to come and visit me.”

As Jocasta hung up the communication, leaving Kathrine frustrated by what she just said, Jocasta turned to her right where King Sigismund was sitting, listening inside his war gear. ”What do you think? I can’t think clearly with the emotion amplifiers.” The now twelve meter tall Sigismund asked.

”I think that what Lady Hyllus just told us lines up with the reasoning for the sudden active mobilisation within the Coalition. It would make sense why the Coalitions Seer would call for that after all. With the Drakoshi on their south and west, us on their east and now another fleet of the swarm on its way. I calculate that the Coalition has seen the futility of merely defending their borders. I calculate that they are preparing to go on the offensive. On all fronts. So while they deal with the initial attack on the north, I say we attack hard at the same time. Perhaps, and forgive my treason, we parley with the Drakoshi and launch the attack together?”

Hearing the word ’Parley’ and the name of the species of Aliens he hates the most in one sentence caused the currently colossal king to shout in rage as he punched the closest thing next to him.

”Well that was a waste of 100 billion credits.” Jocasta then purposely synthesised a sigh in her modulator before following up.” So no parley, ok. We shall just attack on mass, Focus on taking the worlds around the hole? Being able to set up more energy facilities there would prove strategically beneficial and would hit the coalition hard all at the same time.

Sigismund stared down at Jocasta. In the back of his mind, he thought the idea was good, but with the training he was just doing and the experiment with the emotional enhancements in his suit, he felt he needed to return to normal to express his thoughts on the matter as they were too clouded and could not escape his lips. After a minute of intense staring, he finally managed to say the words that would put an end to the current experiment, allowing him to strategies for the upcoming war after he recovered.

”Jocasta- Lobotomise!”
