I/he observe our immediate surroundings we see another passing by, Frei reaches, I reach to him and inquire. Where is there an exit to this hive, the one by the upleft fin?

I Dwell at the Edge, what payment is needed for this volume of food. At least a fifth, this volume, is needed to take care of one that won't wake from stupor.

That is, a small one that won't wake from stupor?

Yes.

I have worked as a healer before and know there location, do you have what to pay with?

We can trade of much raw materials and fish needed to process food, my Self-Pod is outside the main hive-home with the others, much has been collected there and...

This one, it takes lead of the communications, I would like to see that, I may adapt it into this current interpretation of the role I will take, let me simply go there to see those that process and separate food, and those that heal if you can provide significant value I shall take that as my role instead and take payment with what you provide. Let me simply go to the pod roles and let it be known that another instance of the role is taken.

This one, it uses the reference of Frei for better communication at the edge, Frei has much gratitude, that it found one that could help on its way back to the place of its role.
