And now they come for She Who Remembers, It is time, and there is what for her to address, but her wakefulness is limited and she has what to address.

So she reaches for them. Who have come in pursuit of healing, She Who Now Goes By Hlei, Zur, and one Who Flies.

So he who flies has come in her stead? Is he aware, is Zur aware of the reason she was suspended herself?

If she carries knowledge of healing...

She carries knowledge of the source of healing. She prompts Hlei, is healing possible with the knowledge at hand.

Hlei responds, it is not, there is preservation, presentations. And, hlei pauses incoherent information partially communicated. There is a possible base with which to create a role of healers, if provided with the bodies of the freshly dead, and. It is not possible, not trully.

Bim inquire forcefully, Who Is This One Who Sleeps. And why can't her knowledge be applied, is she not of the hive?

Bim has been outside the hive before, he understands the expansiveness of the great nets.

He has.

And the walls of the hive, are they of a material, texture or feeling similar to the pods overpods and other structures within the hive?

He, has not committed that to memory, but. He can still recognise if he is outside the hive through flow.

They outside of the hive, was once a net like structure, on which gathers and grew materials, until it solidified. Holes were covered and it was built forward, this hive expands this way. Through nets and growth and construction on top of that. Some structures of the hive, are connected, some were once from elsewhere. And were built on. Once. Once one of those parts held another hive.

She Who Rememebers, she shall take the name Rmre'kri, Or simply the thought Kri for this. She waits for them to reform their communications.

So the hive was at war before?

The hive is made of multiple hives, possibly. The other hives could have simply broken off and developed different structures for different places. But the hive grew, not just by producing more of us, but by taking others from elsewhere.

A case of content theft: this narrative is not rightfully on Amazon; if you spot it, report the violation.

They do not understand.

Would warriors lost from the hive, developing a collection of hives of their own, use communications as the hive does?

They, they would not. They would refer to each others with short thoughts, with quick-names, but then they would need to define roles, and the thoughts that construct complex roles, they would be the thoughts that refer to those who hold them, or they would be longer titles.

One does healing, it reverses harm, it prevents harm. It accelerates the growth of young. But one does not think of all that when referring to healing, simply fragments and feeling that align. And that communication, and the communication of healing become the same thing.

But, Zur interjects, we simply compress concepts effectively to be better stored in memory, this is important enough that every one not even fully formed is brought to know,

So hive create roles, and terms. And ours, often are more basic, more simple. Yet Rmre'kri remembers, and others remember the dead. And their roles are not as similar as Rmre'kri having wealth, and them having wealth corrupted by death, place for memory that should be preserved. She can remember for she has shards upon shards. Gathered. A pod larger, and even a body grown larger to contain them.

May she continue with her previous point?

She may.

So the hives create terms, and the terms are decent compressions of information, but as a hive grows it needs more terms, compression changes between individuals in different roles, but is still based by what is taught to the young. Except, sometimes some forms of compression are created for specific purposes.

One had been found in the hive, using a compression method not remember by those living, and a form of communication, of thought, somewhat alien. This one is She Who Sleeps. And her purpose Hlei?

Her purpose is to be a seed of the hive if the hive is to fall. To hold memories thoughts and forms with her, so that if something dies the hive can build itself anew.

And is she of this hive?

She might be, but it has so far changed, transformed, conquered and grown since then, that she is of a portion, of a mind that no longer exists within the hive.

Rmre'kri continues, but those portions are not dead, some of the hive cling to the memories of the dead, and for some, in the knowledge of their roles exsist reminant of other minds. Some in the hive enemies of the other. And a hive that has grown so large, we do not know if the healers are dead for there are some in a different portion, a different part of the hive. That we need scouts and guides to bring orders from those who see the needs of the hive, or who believe that they see the needs of the hive, to areas that are of yet unaware.

But...

But it is not clear. She Who Duplicates memories, still holds something dead dear. And so does Rmre'kri, the source of that name.

But the life of others, of the hive as it is, and as it shall grow, of the thoughts she shares, and the thoughts she shall share with future generations are more important than minds long dead. She is She Who Remembers. And she is here with He Who Sees. Who, long past, would have been her enemy.
