She Who Flies felt her pod, her memories. She reached for her shards, her memories. She felt across them and pulled for more of her memories. And as she felt another gently pushing back, She awakens fully. She has fully constructed her waking perspective and she reaches past Ur-Im. She feels a thought.
She Who Sleep awakens. He sent.
And she is amused.
But then as what needs to be done begins to reinsert itself upon her waking mind and as urgency comes to her movement, he sends a view of the hive.
She hesitates and inquires.
There is peace in the hive. Achieved by others while they slept.
And have the others been looked after?
Zur and the guides have made many are being fed. There is no urgency there either.
So she allows him to embrace her, and he shares collected memories of the current state of the hive. Then, we shall continue in our roles.
----------------------------------------
She Who Sleeps is surrounded by memories, a complete image of a hive, of systems through time, changes, forms, roles that make the hive. And she wakes the food packet she was absorbing is empty, and it no longer perpetuates her stupor.
She gathers another food packet, and before returning to stupor she searches outside her pod. And there is a faint flow, vibrations yet no other is there.
The tale has been stolen; if detected on Amazon, report the violation.
Is it time? She does not know, she launches a small shard with instructions out, grasps a time keeper gently, and flips it.
If there is no response then her role shall be fulfilled. And in that, she shall take another.
----------------------------------------
A Guide found a shard floating in the flow-tunnels. It was hard to comprehend, an older code, but there was one thing. A request for He Who Knows Where Things Are. And the request is not understood. Of the waking guides, none of They Who Knows Where Things Are can help. For they have overwritten their memories of the previous form of the hive. Well, they who are awake have overwritten said memories, the sleeping one's might.
Was not she who flies once She Who Knows Where Things Are? Maybe she's awake.
So they were in agreement, and he who transfers small packages added a stop to his next path.
----------------------------------------
They Who Remember War, remember War. And war is complicated, so why can't they get a complete understanding of the workings of the hive.
This is an enormous oversight, They've been operating inefficiently, and while efficiency comes second to security, they are incredibly limited by what actions could be done.
He Who Orginizes For War, now understands why there was so much resistance to their goals, they were getting in their own way, of course the hive was not responding appropriately. So to the others he inquires, He shall become He Who Orginizes, so that their actions can be preformed approprietly.
And having understood the potential of a better way they agreed. So of the waking ones, a He Who Organizes shall always be needed.
And if none of Them are compatible with that role, they shall find another He Who Orginizes from elsewhere in the hive.
----------------------------------------
She Who Flies was prepared to fly. In fact, the sail-glider was both prepared and improved in ways she was still struggling to understand.
Ur-Im sent Validation, He originally invented the things and yet he struggles to understand the complexity of the new ones. It should be more responsive, and he can still repair it but it responds to external flow much more smoothly, and to deselrate.
They would try it out.
For a moment he hesitated, they would try it out in a less cramped area. He saw one earlier.
So he lead them to a vacancy where vibrations were dissipated, and they began to fly.
