Luckly enough, the damage to the new Sail-Glider was mostly external. It was something I could fix. And so, we returned to her pod and I got to work.
----------------------------------------
Wur returned to her pod. And she was waiting, Patiently.
She was patient, considering all the places they would go and all the groups they needed to stop by at. How was He Who Flies...
Her sending didn't feel very patient.
Where were their old gliders?
Near the back of the overpod, travel directly away from the entrance.
She got them.
Could she not wait for the new glider to be repaired? One of them could hang in the back.
As much as she loved the new speed it moves to quickly to keep track of her surroundings. And as such is not very effective for her role.
But they could get a time measure so they could cover distances faster and be in a greater part of the hive.
And the flows aren't consistent enough yet, variations in speed when moving that quickly makes measuring distances unfeasible now get over here and...
There was an interruption at the entrance. She reached for him, it was He Who Delivers Parselsm he brought with him 2 packets of food, and there was a need for a He Who Knows Where Things Are, from a She Who Sleeps.
You could be reading stolen content. Head to Royal Road for the genuine story.
She Who Flies, was once She Who Knows Where Things Are. Does She have a mapping of the old layout?
She does.
She is the only waking one who still has those memories of the old layout, and they cannot make sense of the message. So it is passed on to her.
Gratitude, She accepts this task as her own If he delivers, she paused for a moment reached back to Ur-Im to pass her a shard, this shard to He Who Flies, and leaves, he hands one over much more quickly this time, this shard in Zur's pod.
He confirms the shards desired locations then accepts the exchange. He will happily continue on his way.
----------------------------------------
He happily continues on his way. Adding new routes to his path, and secure in his mastery of his role.
----------------------------------------
So, she inquires from Ur-Im, can you make sense of this shard?
He takes it from her. And he tries. And as he is trying she retrieve the older sail-gliders.
She reaches to him, does he understand it?
It is a location mapping, and some, other information, from She Who Sleeps, but she had another role that he is not familiar with, and a request for One Who Knows Where Things are if the hive still lives.
She knows where things are, she retrieve a few old mapping shards. And they embrace so that she can join him in the examination of the mapping.
It seems to be near the center of the hive, well, not the center, but the physical base of the hive, a layer down. in the... That can't be right.
Why can't it be right, there are other places built into the structure of the hive.
Places that need the location to further serve the purpose of those living within.
Does she want to continue trying to understand from the shard? Or does she want to ask the one at the source?
They shall visit She Who Sleeps At That Location,
Ur-Im's thought interjects, it's just She Who Sleeps. But he has much still to learn about communication.
And they shall leave now.
Let him just make sure the new Sail-glider is in one piece?
He has until she gets the mapping done.
