The hivemind is conquering for me?

Coming off the void swimmer and entering the Hive ship, I always found it eerie how quiet the place was. All the bio-forms except a few warriors immediately go into torpor to preserve energy So no noise is made except from the internal movements of the living ship we are inside of. I had requested no drones to be on my ship for this trip so a few more warriors were active than usual however.

Walking hand in hand with Orchid she leads me to my room on the far end of the ship. I felt fortunate that our hive ship was one of the smaller ones at around 8km Long so it would not take too long to reach my room.

An hour and a half of slowly walking and flirting with Orchid we finally made it to my temporary lodgings. Like the rest of the ship the walls of the room were a darkish tan and thrummed every so often as it passed its special haemolymph around its gigantic body.

The rest of the room had a few unique touches for my preferences. A bed as I love sleep, and Im sure Orchid if she behaves will get a few more treats on our voyage. A few clothes for the journey which will be discarded when I arrive, My power armour in glove form and the plasma minigun were tucked away at the bottom of my bed and in the corner of the room were some heavy Osmium weights.

A smile crept upon my face at the weights recalling a small memory. I asked Jewel to create some weights that are small but extremely heavy. I told her the size I wanted ,The size of a 25kg weight from my old life, and some dumbbells for lighter workouts, and left her to her devices.

When they were finally made and I took a look at them they looked like standard gym equipment from my old life and thought they were just made of steel or something but when I went to lift one casually I almost threw my back out not expecting the metal to be so dense.

Apparently Jewel has so much of this stuff that she doesn't even use it as if she needs denser metals for splicing into the bones of ships or her more unique bio forms she has much stronger options.

All in all I had a nice little man cave that we see to my needs for the next two weeks journey. I walked into my room and planted my self on the edge of my bed. I appreciated its comfort for a second before Orchid had crawled onto my lap with that look in her eye. "Woman we have just had a nearly 40 hour romp, can you cool your jets I'm exhausted." I said with a tinge of concern for my well being.

"But Orchid only had 14 hours 47 minutes and 31 seconds of mating time with Apollo, The rest of the time was spent on Short breaks and you mating with the queen, All Orchid desires is to even out the time is that ok?" Orchid asked with Enchanting eyes while slowing fondling my pocket rocket.

I almost gave in to her eyes but I had my wits about me and pushed her off to my side." Sorry love bug as I said I'm exhausted. Once we enter the Psionic tendril I'm heading to sleep for a while." I said leaving Orchid looking down for a moment.

"But think about this, two weeks of FTL travel with absolutely nothing to do." I proceed to run my hand up her leg and reached dangerously close to her special place. leaning in to whisper into her ear I add. "What possibly could we do to pass the time."

Orchid shuddered in delight as my warm breath blew against her ear, her breath became ragged at the endless possibilities.

Leaving the now stun locked Orchid on my bed I went to go look out of a 'window membrane' as I had took to calling the large translucent walls on certain parts of the ship. and could see the hives home world, my home, growing smaller in the distance. Activating the imprint in my eyes that Jewel had created I could feel her presence down below.

She was also watching me by the feeling I got which made me happy. I kept my imprint active the entire time I could see the planet and I deactivated it once the ship had entered the Psionic tendril.

Once Jewel had witnessed her love leave the home system and turned his gaze away from her she let out a sigh of relief. She had began amassing a large amount of psionic energy to enact Apollos surprise in two weeks but she had to dissipate it so her love would not notice.

"Such a pain this, But to see the look on my desires face shall be more than worth it." She thought to herself in mischief and restarted her effort. She would easily be able to get the required amount of energy within the two weeks but a 20 km area around her would have to be cleared out or anything that was nearby would cease life, except her guards of course.

Taking a quick stroll around the ship near my room I found a warrior performing some task. "Excuse me cutie can you help me out." I asked making the warrior turn its head towards me and begin to leg dance.

"Great do you know where the covers for my bed are, I left Orchid alone with some thoughts and I am now certain there will be a very large wet patch." The warrior seemed to indeed know where they were by its body language as it beckoned me to follow.

Grabbing it scythe for it to guide me I let It take me where I needed to go. On the way there I got a nice look at the warrior in question. On the scale of things, This warrior was on the larger side at 2 meters tall in fact it looked like a smaller version of what Orchid used to look like. I made It stop for a second to give It a better look over.

Its eyes looked different from normal warriors and Its maw was slightly wider too. I thought for a second remembered what the humans had called Orchid all those years ago "a basilisk strain?" "Cutie pie where you on Apollo-minor when the hive found me." The warrior made a chittering noise before placing its head on level with my hand.

"Oh you want to show me something specific? ok then." While I cannot communicate with the lower castes of the hive as well as the elites, If I make skin contact with a lower caste They can project memories of their life to me psionically without all the background noise they have the sieve through.

With my hand now resting on the warriors head, I opened up my link to receive what she wanted to show me.

The first memory played straight into my mind like it was my own I or rather the warrior had just ripped Open a fleshy prey who had been shooting incendiary ballistics towards the others in the group. It was about to feast on the prey as the rest charged past when from behind It felt the most intoxicating thing ever, even more than feasting.

When it realised what It was The warrior could not help but release pheromones It did not know It had and was frozen solid. Many of its fellow bio-forms died at the sudden pause as the nearby prey took advantage but it did not care. If it were to complete its purpose for the hive today it would be glad it was today after feeling what it felt.

Shortly after the warrior had regained its movement and in good timing as the fellow warrior in front had just been set ablaze by incendiary ballistics. Upon regaining Its ability to move Pushing the amazing feeling to the back of its link it continued in its order to destroy and consume the prey for the hive.

Before I had time to think over the first memory the second came. The warrior was surrounded by thousands of other bio-forms now. A standard affair only on a nearby hillock her freethinker was standing proudly with a tiny little thing attached to her torso. The little-spawn of the prey species was so enthralling to gaze upon the warrior could do so for eternity.

When the little-spawn cried out in pain, the warrior almost went into full blown panic it had no idea what to do it felt so bad, how could it help , how could it assist how how how? Luckily a nearby agitator had helped soothe whatever ailed the most precious little-spawn and all the nearby hive felt relieved.

When the memory ended there were several smaller ones from seeing me in passing from witnessing events through the hive link and the pleasure it felt when the queen had mated with me all passed through me. I felt very emotional that this warrior had been with me essentially since the beginning and this was the first time I had fully seen it.

I decided then to give It something as a gesture of thanks for showing me the memories it had of me.
