The hivemind is conquering for me?

The mercenary ships had no trouble entering the planet thanks to Kathrine’s permissions, and it took no longer than 5 minutes after entering the atmosphere to arrive and land in Kathrine’s private base in the frozen tundra.

I was not in a rush to leave the ship as I did not want to deal with all the scuttering about from the mercenaries and decided to wait a little while and Kathrine decided to join me in waiting.

Outside the ship at the end of the runway, A man wearing a noble suit that seemed to be heated as steam like condensation rose from his body. He was smoking while leaning against his vehicle when he noticed the Thanatos’ men starting to pour out of the ship. “Ugh, about time.” The man whispered, expecting to see the woman he was expecting very soon.

Twenty minutes later, the man began impatient and realised he had accidentally chain-smoked his stash out of boredom. Deciding he had enough waiting, he began walking over to the Thanatos.

Willy was currently overseeing the unloading of all the spoils of war as they had to be transferred to their bank later today so they remain safe. “OI, wrong crate you fat cunt!” He yelled at a man who was one missed meal away from expiring. “All the shiny shit goes into the crates marked ‘volatile explosives’ do you not remember orientation at all?”

Willy ignored the mans apology and turned his head towards the noble who had been watching them ever since they landed. The man walked with a step that said everyone else was beneath him and hardly worth their time. ‘Great, another snobby cunt.’ Willy could not help but think, his actual words were rather different however.

“Greeting sir noble, to what can I do to help?” He said dropping his accent completely and put on a very fake posh accent. The noble picked up on the mockery of an accent, but decided to ignore it as he could not be arsed with the hassle. “I am looking for Lady Hyllus. Why has she yet to leave the ship?”

Willy looked the man up and down wearily. The man was not armed and was given permission to be inside the base before they had even arrived so he should not be here to cause trouble.

Willy turned to a certain helmeted girl who was moving boxes back and forth with a dolly. “Hey Janine, are Apollo and Lady Kathrine together at the moment?” He yelled loudly.

Janine looked over and yelled back. “Oh yeah, I went to check on Apollo before coming here. They are watching tv in his quarters so they are not in the way of our operation.” ” ‘K thanks babe!” Willy said in response. “Eat my dick asshole!” Janine yelled back.

“There you are sir noble, you will have to wait for a while as Kathrine won’t leave that room until absolutely necessary now.” Willy said and turned his back on the noble to get back to work.

Willy suddenly felt a hand on his shoulder that span him around. The visage of the noble faded and a walking ball of anger was replaced. “Who the fuck is Apollo?” The man yelled. “Kathrine’s private hire for our mission, look bro, if you are here to start something, I would highly recommend not doing so.

We are mercenaries with a very affluent backer, we can make the disappearance of one noble no big deal, got it cunt?”

The man did a visible take back at being called the C word and was about to unleash his rage upon the man when he noticed a lot of the mercenaries around had stopped working and were casually caressing their weapons while looking in his general direction.

The man swallowed the words he had prepare and sighed instead. “Look man, can you just go inform Lady Hyllus I have arrived? Send one of your goons or something, just let her know I am here ok?” The man said as he walked back to his car.

‘You could at least give your name you dumb cunt. Nobles I swear. Apollo is the only decent fucking one I’ve met.’ Having a gut feeling it would be too much hassle to ignore the guys request, Willy turned to Janine once more. “Oi tin helmet, go and get your boyfriends cock sleeve for us, Noble cunt’s orders.”

“You go and get him you lazy shit, I am working here.” Janine retorted. “Oh come on cunt, you are the only one that has actually been in his room, I am sure he wont mind you interrupting him.” Willy replied back.

Janine gave no verbal confirmation of doing the task, but she placed her dolly down and stormed of while whispering profanities under her breath.

While Kathrine was continuing to slag off all her friends on this reality show, There was a knock at my door. Kathrine was about to get up, but I stopped her. “You just continue to enjoy saying bad things about your ‘friends’ I’ll get it.

Standing up, Onyx moved herself into my Mindspace and I strolled leisurely over to the door. The door rapped again just as I opened it and the knocker somehow lost their balance and fell into me.

“Hello-whoa!” I said as Janine’s body pressed up against mine. “It has only been a few hours Janine, you don’t need to greet me with a bear hug every time.” I said cheekily and hugged her.

Janine stayed in the hug a moment then proceeded to push me away. “Asshole! Why are your hugs so nice?” She could not help question. “Probably because you know I am strong and subconsciously that makes you feel safe maybe?” I said as Kathrine nodded her head half listening at the comment.

Janine went to open her mouth, but could not find a retort. “So is there anything you wanted to talk about, or did you just come here for cuddles?” I asked, trying to get her brain working again.

“Asshole…” she whispered. “Yes I came to inform Lady Kathrine that a noble is on base and requesting her presence.” This caused Kathrine to finally look away from the tv towards the helmeted woman.

“Was it a man or a woman and did they give a name?” Kathrine asked in a tone that got Janine all bothered for some reason. “N-no name was given my lady, he seemed to act like we should know him and every single step he takes.” Janine replied.

Kathrine crossed her legs as she thought. “No, that doesn’t really narrow it down at all, you have described most Spartari nobility. Tell me of his attributes, I cant just be summoned by some nobody after all, even if they are on my base, that could just mean they are my second cousins or something, not worth the time of day.”

Janine closed her eyes for a second as she recalled the characteristics of the man. “Male, late 20s, 5ft 11 though looked like he was wearing lifts in his shoes due to his posture. He had light brown that was shaved at the sides and slicked back on top. He had grey eyes, a rather broad nose with thin lips and a rather weak chin and light stubble facial hair.”

Kathrine sat upright in her chair at the description. “Did the man look both handsome and ugly at the same time? I know you are a lesbian, but I’m talking in general terms here.” She asked.

Janine looked surprised under her helmet for a moment at the revelation. “Now that you mention it, yes kind of. What a weird contradiction.”

Kathrine’s smile bloomed on her face as she kissed me on the lips and stood up. “Be right back handsome, I need to go put on my skinsuit as it will be freezing out there.” She said and left the room before I could ask any more questions.

“That was odd.” I said and shrugged my shoulders. “Hey while your here, you want to watch some tv?” I ask Janine. She looked at the door a second where she would have to back to work. “Sure I can waste 10 minutes while lady Kathrine gets dressed.” I chuckled at her statement. “What?” she asked. “Its going to take 30 not 10, sit down and enjoy.”

30 minutes later, Janine who’s helmeted head was on my lap as she looked at the screen said. “So lady Kathrine said everyone of these women is basically screwing everyone else?” “Pretty much.” I replied, my arms stretched out, holding onto the back of the couch.

Janine scoffed at that remark. “So all these humans who say Sepiidans are just hungry sluts are no better?” “Pretty much.” I said in reply. “Ugh.” She spat at the hypocrisy.

It was then Kathrine entered the room once more wearing a white blouse, a miniskirt with tights and high heels that went over her skin suit. Kathrine completely ignored Janine as she walked over and grabbed my hand to help me up.

“Come on, come on, we have to go see him. I hope you like him!” Kathrine said with a jubilant smile on her face. “See who?” I asked, wondering who could make Kathrine act this hyperactive.

Kathrine’s smile grew even wider as she said giddily. “My son!”
