The hivemind is conquering for me?

Time passed swiftly and before I knew it I was in an air cab. Unlike the original journey to the club that took over two hours, The Air cab ride only took fifteen minutes before It landed at the strip airport.

Stepping out of the vehicle, We went through a cursory customs check by the planetary guard. There were nobles present so they did not sniff too deeply, just a casual scan here and there, making sure we weren’t taking mainly drugs off the planet.

After the quick check, we were now on the airport tarmac itself and in the distance I noticed someone familiar. Making our way over to Valerica, I could not help but admire the ship she was currently standing underneath.

The Ship was roughly 30 meters in circumference. Compared to the ship I came in, It had a more circular body. The ship was Red and white in colour and I could tell immediately it was a big step up from the first ’ship’ I had ever been in.

Starting off with the thrusters. Like the previous ship, It had thrusters underneath its body to help with planetary entries, and had four large thrusters on its rear which were much larger in size.

The ship had not one, but two large thrusters that ran along each side of its body that I presumed the FTL drive was linked to. It seemed that a lot of the ship’s interior was taken up by those thrusters, but that did not phase me as something took my attention on the ship’s frontal undercarriage.

Weapons. The ship had a multitude of cannons and I think I noticed empty pylons that could hold missiles. Compared to the ship I came in with its one small calibre gun, this thing made the boy within very satisfied.

Kathrine rolled her eyes at the look on my face as she said. ”Men and their fascination with weapons...” As we continued along, Valerica started running towards me once we reached a comfortable distance.

Seeing her approach, I quickly told Ronnie to my right to do another sweep of the ship to make sure everything is in order and to tell the ship to look after us. As soon as I said that, Ronnie began running just as Valerica reached me and proceeded to pick me up as she hugged me.

”Oh my baby! I am going to miss you. You have embedded yourself into my heart and know that I will do anything for you in the future!” She then put me down and looked around suspiciously before pulling a scroll from betwixt her cleavage.

”Here Apollo, as per the favour you invoked after cheating during the party, here is a copy of the Hyllus Psionic strengthening technique.” Kathrine smiled upon seeing her mom giving it over.

”Mummy! I can’t believe you went through with it! I thought you would chicken out.” She said, causing Valerica to scoff as she replied. ”Darling please, If it was a stranger I would not have given it away, but this is my son who cured me of my ailment just because he wanted to. It is the least I could do. besides.” She said as she grabbed my head and pulled it into her cleavage.

”My baby, as incredible as he is. Is still a man. Unless he can improve it like he said he might be able to, he won’t be able to use it. He doesn’t have a uterus after all.” I continued to suffocate for a short while before Valerica let me go as she turned her attention to Orchid.

”Orchid. I know we have not gotten the chance to-” She was cut off by a flat. ”No.” From Orchid who then sprinted towards the ship to prevent any more touching from people that were not Apollo.

Too many people had been able to taint her skin with their disgusting prey filth. When she gets back home, she is going to be entering a nest pod also to do a molecular cleaning so that when she comes back out squeaky clean, only Apollo’s being will be upon her once more.

”Oh, ok then.” Valerica muttered, looking a little dejected about her new daughter’s rebellious phase. As we were casually chatting before saying our final goodbyes I realised something. ”Hey, where is Hailey?”

Valerica pointed up to the sky and said. ”Her ship is in orbit. She will dock onto your ship after you take-off.” After getting that information, we talked a little while longer before goodbyes naturally took place.

I started off with Nerissa as there was not much to say to one another. ”Nerissa, thank you for respecting my teacher’s privacy. I will see you in a few months at the college.” I said and extended my hand.”

Nerissa nodded her head and reached out her hand as well, but instead of shaking my hand, she booped my snoot and said. ”It was a pleasure getting to know you in this short time Apollo, but my intrigue is not yet satiated. If you do not turn up to the college like you say you will, I will find you and never leave your side until I am satisfied.

She then turned around and began walking away towards a bunch of guards who began acting extremely nervous as she approached them.

I then turned to Sophia who smiled at me lovingly before saying. ”Goodbye, my sweet, I will see you soon and will be thinking of you daily.” I said nothing at first and brought her into a tight hug.

As I hugged her for a time, I finally got around to saying. ”I love you.” Before whispering something in her ear. It was a set of loose instructions, but as Sophia heard them, she began to squirm with delight.

Pulling back, I kissed her deeply for a moment before I pulled back and smiled as I said to her. ”One hundred years. Ok?” To which she nodded her head and replied. ”Yes, my sweet.”

I then turned to Valerica who had a neutral expression on her face. I then took both of her hands into my own which turned her perplexed as she only expected a simple goodbye from me.

”I was abandoned by my parents, I never knew my mother nor my father. But, If I ever did have parents. I can truly say I wish they were like you Valerica. The love you have shown for me in the short time we have known each other will never be forgotten by me or my new family. Just know, if there is anything you need from me in the future, you have but to ask and I will do everything in my power to make it happen. Ok mom?”

Valerica kept her facial expression neutral, to not show weakness at this moment in time, but her eyes told a different story as they exploded with tears that began to run down her face. She then, with a shaky voice from holding back her emotions, replied.

”O-Ok my S-S-Son. I will also do everything in my power for you also.” Valerica said before the emotions almost became too much. She had to appear strong before her boy, so she walked away calmly to go cry happily in her air cab.

With Onyx and Samantha suddenly deciding to go on a mission together this morning after breakfast, there was only one other person I had to say goodbye to.

Kathrine had been watching on with a serene smile on her face. It was like she was in a state of peace and tranquillity as I approached her. As I was about to say something, she interrupted with a simple phrase. ”I love you.”

It felt for a moment like I was back with the hive as I looked at her. Her simple sentence and the look in her eyes sent more information to me than any long drawn out speech of goodbye could have.

I started out with Kathrine as a mere fling. My first human. Over time however, I felt my feelings blossom. At first I denied that I could feel anything for her due to my relationship with the Hive. It just would not work. But now, as I look at her, my eyes practically screaming information at her, I replied. ”I love you too.”

We both then smiled at each other, a short and sweet kiss followed. Pulling away, I whispered. ”I will see you when I get back.” Kathrine simply nodded her head and replied. ”Ok.”

Seeing the humans get their needed emotional treatment from Apollo, Keyla picked up her two large duffel bags and said. ”Ok, are we done here? Come on Apollo, let’s check our new digs!” She then turned to Sophia and said. ”Bye mom!” Before running towards the ship’s entrance.

I looked between the two parties present and chuckled softly before doing a small silent wave as I turned my back to Kathrine and Sophia.

Once out of earshot, Sophia, while still looking at me as I entered the ship said to Kathrine. ”I am surprised how well you are taking this. I expected you to be worse off and cry like your mother.”

Kathrine nodded her head in agreement. ”That is true, I half expected that myself, but it’s strange, It feels like...” She trailed off, causing Sophia to turn to her inquisitively. ”What is it?” She asked curiously. Kathrine then furrowed her brows to word her feelings correctly.

”It feels like. A part of me is taking this journey with Apollo. I don’t know. I just know that even though he is going to be gone, I feel like a part of him is also with me and I won’t feel alone.”
