Another edge dweller has come form the toxic. And, it is alive, I should. I can handle some more exposure and I can heal if only the edges of my tendrils are occupied in communication. I make the one known as Frei assist me as I contact the other edge dweller.

This one is known as Hlei, She, I, It occupies the role of a healer and yet it does not see the toxic, is something missing from it's role?

Something must be if it does not see the toxic, does it comprehend the concept?

It does not can some bne shared?

Not without closer contact the matter is...

It seems to resemble some form of foreign infiltration of material, some is expelled when eating, some bonds with what is eaten and some is disposed of during maintenance. But it doesn't seem to match your understanding of toxic.

I gently let the tip of one of my disposable tendrils absorb a bit of the toxic from the enviornment.

This material is toxic, it is dangerous to our central body, and you are infused with it.

Stolen novel; please report.

Hlei can barely register this toxic material, can Hlei, apologies, It have some uncorrupted food to test this? Does the toxic end at this point?

I can acuire food for it, and the toxic does not reach to this point. But I would like some payment for this it seems I will not accomplish what I need.

Hlei and Frei seem to be unaffected by the toxic, would knowledge how not complete your role?

But it would not be paid for and the role has limited storage, if others in the hive are affected by the toxic.

Hlei will attempt to purify itself, and would accompany us to my goal, there would be some payment, but it is probably covered in toxic-ness.

Frei communicates that Hlei is not yet allowed in the hive-home, they would need to address this later, he apologises to me and as payment for me taking upon myself his role some of the food Hlei acuires in her role will go to me, as it eats the stuff it has stored.

It is not the wealth I seek, but I shall acuire more and grow through this, when I communicate to them the location of my sleeping pod, when I next awaken after this role they shall seek me out again, I do aspire for more wealth. And I shall keep track of toxic cases,

the small portion of memory that I shall profit form my role shall go to this, in hopes of even greater memory

Frei acepts this, he shall pay have the food that would be paid to him delivered to me while I partake in my role. So I return to the hive-home, and live a cycle as a healer.

----------------------------------------

Frei communicates to those who work with him what shall be done with his portion, they know that location and shall have it delivered to the one who heals and works in that place.

It takes a lot from him, from me, so I return to stupor. it was a short cycle, but he/I shall wake alongside the others.
