The hivemind is conquering for me?

A few hours later, Aeletha was sitting down, drinking her tea gracefully when she heard her door open. ”Hey! You cannot go in there as you please!” A youthful voice exclaimed, causing Aeletha to speak up.

”It is ok Rekosh, I was expecting him.” Aeletha said, drinking the last of her tea before placing her cup down. Into the room walked a Robot that was heavily armoured. It was not the Robot that came to see her though, it was the small being that was standing on the Robots outstretched hands.

”My Seer.” Cor’voth of the Plipit said with a respectful bow. ”Cor’voth. I sense you bring with you bad news. Inform me.” Aeletha spoke calmly. Cor’voth with his subdermal implant, ordered his Thurx drone to place him onto the table and then enter standby mode.

Cor’voth then proceeded to brush his fur a little and made sure his Uralg flap was tight against the back of his head. ”My Seer, our sensors have reported that the fleet is much larger than anticipated. More and more of our reinforcements are on their way and I have ordered another billion drones that shall be here within the hour.”

Aeletha looked directly at the small being, which always made Cor’voth uneasy as though she was not actually blind. His little black beady eyes looked around the room before bringing up another point.

”My lady, with a force such a size coming straight towards us, I have set up retreat contingencies for if we lose 3/4 of the planet. Of course the other planets in the hunger’s path are constantly being reinforced as well, so we rendezvous with the next planet there which should be trivial to accomplish as the hunger still seems incapable of using their elusive FTL travel inside of our territory.”

The Seer’s silence was especially loud at this moment. Cor’voth was not sure what to do now he had said his piece. ”Naturally, as our war leader, you must survive any evacuation and as such I have set up a-”

”-There is no need for that Cor’voth. I intend to stay on the planet for as long as I am able. My power is above your comprehension, do not worry about me. Just prioritise all the war reporters’ safety. If things start to take a turn for the worst, they are the first to leave, understand? All organics on this planet are warriors, soldiers. They know their duty and with your Thurx taking up a large portion of the enemy’s attention, I foresee a good war to come.”

Cor’voth stood on the desk a moment, he wished to talk more with the beautiful Seer, but it seemed she had other plans. ”Cor’voth, my body is going to be undergoing a great deal of stress during the upcoming battle. I need to drink my tea and rest my body. If there is nothing of importance, please take your leave.”

Cor’voth bowed once more as his drone picked him up. ”Of course my Seer, take care. I shall go and do some adjustments to my mech suit. Farewell.” Cor’voth was then carried to the door and upon the door opening, Rekosh was standing on the other side, his weapon in hand.

”Rekosh.” He heard from inside, causing him to stand to attention. ”Yes, my Seer?” He asked, ready to serve. ”If anyone else comes now, you have permission to detain or maim. Understood?”

Rekosh punched his chest hard as a salute. ”Yes my Seer.” He then closed the door behind the leaving Plipit. ”Scary and beautiful. Its hard to find a good women with the correct ratio huh?” Cor’voth said to the guard, but getting no response.

”Her and I, we would make a good pairing don’t you think?” That sentence got the guards information, causing him to scoff in derision. ”You?” Cor’voth raised his Uralg flap in anger towards the guard and sternly warned in his high pitched voice.

”Watch your manners whelp, you are still in the presence of a senator.” After Rekosh went back to attention, Cor’voth flap lowered and he brushed it back down for a second. ”So tell me, what is so outlandish about what I said then?”

Rekosh said nothing, just looking ahead doing his job, causing Cor’voth to roll his beady eyes. ”I said watch your manners, not hold your tongue, come on whelp, let me know. My fur is nice and sturdy.”

Rekosh sighed, wanting the senator gone. The best way was to simply tell the truth. ”The Seer is too good for you. Period. She is the best of the Starforged species and she would never sully herself with a creature like you. Ally or no. Plus, there is the fact of reproduction. It is just not possible as for a start, you have gonopores, she requires a being’s strength to reproduce- Sir, this conversation is making me uncomfortable, please let us cease at once.”

Cor’voth looked Rekosh up and down before shaking his body in approval. ”You are a good egg Rekosh. Your predecessor was a lot more open with his desires for the Seer. You, however, just seem genuinely happy to be in her employ. Make sure it stays that way, you will be much happier in the long run as any hopes of getting with her is just wishful thinking for everyone.”

Cor’voth then manipulated the arms of his drone so he could reach Rekosh and gave him two small taps on the shoulder before he started walking away. ”Oh and Rekosh...” He turned back, causing Rekosh to look over as well.

”Being in a relationship with a species that is only a foot tall can come with certain benefits... Hehehehhe!” He began laughing, which sounded like a squeaker from a chew toy before walking off, leaving Rekosh with that horrid mental image.

Back inside of Aeletha’s room, she was shaking her head in disapproval. ”Males... No matter the species, they all want the same thing.” Still, she was impressed by Rekosh’s restraint in talking about the matter.

She had obviously noticed his stares and glances. She was technically blind so her guards thought they could get away with it, but at least this Rekosh was not as bad as her previous one, with his strength always getting swollen.

’He does seem to hold admiration for me more than lust however. I should keep him close during the battle, I do not wish to roll the odds with another Rekosh.’ She thought. However, simply thinking the word lust brought a vision to her mind once more.

It was the same one she had been having night after night the past week. It started off hazy like it originally did, but more and more details were becoming apparent. Most of the details were her own body as the vision was from her point of view.

She was different. Her skin was tougher, yet still silky smooth, Her nails were longer and more sharper than ever before and well, she could actually use her eyes to see. Still, the only thing about the male in the vision was the feeling of him inside of her and his purple eyes with a red ring encompassing the iris.

Aeletha found herself enthralled by the vision. Not because it made her feel good witnessing it, which it did quite a bit. No. She was enthralled because her foresight had this strange sensation of familiarity as she watched the vision play out over and over. Like she actually knew of the individual inside of the vision.

The sensation of knowing, yet not knowing had become a new sensation since the skirmish with Spartari and had been entering her life constantly. She enjoyed the feeling, even though it was most likely a bad thing, because It was new. Living a long time could be extremely tedious, so a new sensation was something she could experiment with for days at a time.

Suddenly, she was brought to. In her vision she usually wakes up at this point, overstimulated, or she was in the presence of others and had to wave it away. But after drinking her tea, stimulating her Psionic energy, she was witnessing a part new to her.

In the vision, she had just brought her hands to her face, embarrassed. ”I can’t believe I released all my acid! I am so embarrassed!” She felt an overwhelming sense of guilt for releasing her acid so soon. The male then extended his hand towards her face and stroked it slowly, which felt incredible.

”I told you, It is fine. Your acid merely tickles me.” The voice was deeply distorted, but Aeletha felt a soothing sensation wash through her entire body. She had never felt so safe before. She had never felt so-

”Hah!” Aeletha snapped out of the vision at that moment to the sensation of her acid beginning to form. ’In the vision, I expelled all of it? How badly did I want to...’

Aeletha shook her head and poured herself a new cup of tea to calm herself down. After taking a sip, she closed her eyes to focus upon her future. Although still blurry right now, she was still on the single river with no deviations.

She was still on the path of glory right now, but the way she felt at the end of that vision... No. Aeletha could not be tempted to peak again right now. The hunger was approaching and she had to do everything in her power to make it starve.
