I am Hlei, a healer.

I am Hlei, and I cannot heal.

Another comes and I decontaminate it I trim some tendrils. I put a material that will help it repair itself. It is treated, it can be treated. It/you should go to stupor to retain its memories and growth.

And this patient leaves.

Looking at myself there are similarities, I am tired, and I too need stupor. I finish checking on the food processors. And return to the healers' place. And reach to the others.

I am tired, I am troubled, I am going to stupor...

What of the distribution...

I interrupt them, I am going to stupor. We have contingencies; two healer-pods can be unused and the role will still be filled. I shall go tell those who manage that the role needs to be filled.

I leave, and I let them know I shall return to my stupor pod. The role shall be filled, and I return to our ship.

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

I watch I guard I guide the edge dwellers in preperation of another great working. I make requests for some materials for their roles and to construct holding cells on the outside of the ship, with cycle trackers and value trackers, and other indirect measures of time...

Taken from Royal Road, this narrative should be reported if found on Amazon.

Crui has had great plans. And Frei has really created trust within the large ones. If only we could fully trust Frei.

I see Hlei returning and I reach to her. And she is,

I Hlei is to the large ones a healer, I still cannot heal. A wall of emotions hits me, in her thoughts in her communications.

They, end? Do not continue? I do not understand.

Of course Ur-im does not understand, I could revive She who flies right now, but Wur would cease to be.

They do not have true healing, maybe some maintnece but they do not heal, and they are not sufficient with their stupor.

They do not have measures of time,

I need to rest, I need stupor.

So many do, But Hlei needs to slow a bit, to approach her memories, the healing she has found. The healing she has not, to put it aside. To see what to take with her into stupor.

I just want to forget.

And Hlei also want's to heal. She seeks healing. For Wur, for the hive. What of those in the hive home? Should we leave them.

But I cannot help, I have tried to improve their healing, to record it, but the ones that matter are still lost.

And yet their hive lives on. Would the work better if they had time?

I do not know,

Should we seek healing elsewhere for all is lost?

Is all lost?

It doesn't have to be, we are working on a grand project that can sustain them when we are gone to perserve what we can, what can be built.

But we need to find healing.

If the large ones do not have healing and survive, can the hive sustain itself, can some of them sustain themselves if they understood time? If they had a better system? If some remembered to make sure they were fed, and that they got sufficient stupor?

They would continue to live

And so our hive lives without us, even if lesser. And it lives without true healing.

I need stupor, we shall discuss this when I awaken.
