What does it mean to be He Who Flies?
He went to she who flies but did not know where to find her. He feels the communication net. He pulled on it. How would he call for They Who Know Where Things are? They normally responded when the net was pulled. Was that just during the war? He reached around, but none were there.
He went to see the others, but most were in stupor. They were tired. They needed rest. They would not waste thought on staying awake, a role would be found for them and they would work.
He was not satisfied with waiting. He was to be He Who Flies, the role exists. And others would not show him the way he would find it. So he followed the communication net, flying across. Gliding once he found enough energy, he would not waste his waking on a search, but it was better than not using it at all.
His thoughts were repeating, he was trained to avoid this, he checked the shards forming his shell. It was not hydro-dynamic enough for low flow within the hive. He knew what he was doing. And efficiency was paramount to flight. He needed the right maker, but he did not know where they were either.
Yet he would not rest. And to push off stupor he could use food. He went to Zim, He Who Knew Food, if he were to embrace efficiency fast thoughts would need to be left behind. And at least he had the location of He Who Knew Food. And so he flew. And corrected his path, he would

Zim saw a flyer approaching him. Was not the war over? Was not she who flies in stupor? Zim wished for stupor as well. This was not thought that advanced Zim's task and he wished to be rid of it. But he had a project to complete first.
So the flyer reached out, and he responded. What did the flyer want? The flyer pulled back a bit He must have been a little too aggressive with that sending. The flyer reached again, He wanted something to push off stupor.
Oh was he interested in the current project? it would not push off stupor entirely but it could cut it short. The damage to the body was not easily repairable, but in all enough doses, it could help...
Zim cut off that thought, it was not safe for consumption, Stupor is life, and he would not damage it so. He was trying to minimize the effects to create better rest. To prevent entry into stupor while allowing a similar state of non-being. One that could be woken from more easily, a superior method for those like She Who Knew War.
Zim disconnected from he who flies. Zim wanted to be done with this already. Too many names, too many memories. He would complete the project, produce the substances needed for all elements of it, and let those more equipped for medicine complete it.
Zim sent a request to he who flies. Shake the net in this specific vibration. The guide was to take the current batch to where it goes. Not bothering to hear a response Zim went back to his work.
----------------------------------------
He who flies called for He Who Knows Where Things Are. So that was how to call for them during peace. But it seems this was the vibration needed to call someone specific. So when that one arrived he sent the location of He Who Knows Food. After which he requested the location of She Who Flies. And the vibration needed to call They Who Know Where Things Are.
He returned Gratitude, for the information and returned a small shard fragment, as was expected.
So to She Who Flies he went.
