I hand Wycle a shard, a path, and guide to what changes will be made here. It is not unlike the great project, but far more delicate. I don't want to change too much.

And as we progress in this role I become less and less important, I go to the ship to better see, and visit Crui, He Who Defends and Crui is acting in that role, at this point we have the ship cycling around their hive home for a better perspective, but he too watches and together we have a perspective used to create better paths.

They need to cover the entire surface of their hive-home, and they need to make all the sails and nets and devices not be disturbed in their function. They still need to be pulled and repaired. The material cannot be lost.

Sails.

Ur-im and Crui are entangled in communication/ I desperately try and share with him this realization.

The sails their Hive-home is a ship, it moves...

We are lost.

Do we have any other way to find the hive?

We know how it sees the memories of the experience of the initial journey are preserved.

Steps and sights?

How well does Ur-Im remember sights?

Somewhat, I can remember how our kind looks, species of fish, and some types of beasts.

Crui can not remember all that, we shall examine what we have.

Stolen content warning: this tale belongs on Royal Road. Report any occurrences elsewhere.

Ur-Im still seeks a cure for Wur, she might be able to help.

Crui thinks for a moment before responding, even if Wur cannot help. The enemy found us again and again. Ur-Im can use those memories.

Ur-Im might be able to.

We hold communication for a bit sharing what we see, the flow, the fish, and those getting caught in the net's expanding our memory for some details.

Hlei returns to us again, performs maintenance on Ur-Im and we examine the process, we find something a moment of extraction when tendrils are disconnected, this removal might be the removal of toxic. Hlei understands, and we repeat and Hlei sees.

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

We have found the section of maintenance that removes toxic, yet Ur-Im still has some within him, there is excess there, on the surface of his most vulnerable tendrils, why is that.

He does not know.

I, Hlei, shall attempt the process of maintenance on those tendrils, adjusted to better remove toxic, is he okay with that.

Ur-Im shivers at the thought, but it must be done.

These tendrils are vulnerable, and worn, almost as if they have been kept between stupor, Hlei tugs one gently and it begins to come off, Hlei is hit with thoughts of Wur, of Flight, together.

I disengage from the process.

The toxic, your connection to Wur.

I cannot complete the process of extraction, but you can survive and heal through stupor. It does not infect your main body, but you carry more toxic with you than the rest of us.

Should Ur-Im interact less with Wur in fear of infecting her? If these are the delicate tendrils used to guide others who are in stupor.

Does Ur-im use these tendrils often when communicating with the large ones?

He is not aware of what he uses to communicate...

Hlei needs to see and treat the large ones, so that they do not carry toxic from Ur-Im, he shall stay in the ship for a short while and he shall commit to memory, to shards, the actions he takes within the ship.

I need to treat the large ones. The process is near completeion.

Before I cease communication he makes sure I know, The named one is Wycle, Who Remains Between Cycles, the last one of them I interacted with, and the task you had for him...

Crui is clean, we shall make sure the others are as well.
