All Dried Up

Aellius:

I watch 'Dum' being sent off to join the Kingdom refugees.

I can only hope this will bring us good news for a change, that the young Queen was STILL alive somewhere out there.

"Putting trust in a drone, times are sure strange are they not."

I shake my head in amusement.

I look around the Zenna again and then at Brazentorch with something on my mind.

"In the meantime do you think we should find a new place to hide? With these attacks there might be more search parties to find us."

We cant keep jumping hyperspace to stay hidden if we need to meet back up with Dum for a update?

We had the old hive after all, it stuck out profoundly among all these new modern alien vessels about.

All Dried Up

Aellius:

Am I shocked at the recent events or should I just expect this to be the new normal.

The Kingdom was falling apart it felt. Our brother was so far away now.

I ponder HOW he could have left our sister's child behind.

I slowly nod listening to Brazentorch.

Our work with 'Dum' has been proceeding much better. He was quite annoying at the start but, I think he's been educated and we've studied the other drone's pages enough. He should pass. They aren't the most complex of personalities.

"I agree brother." I smile confidently.

"Now is the time, as long as Dum does not go near these 'water targeted' places I do not think he will be questioned."

So many appear to be fleeing worlds to escape destruction, throwing the drone in now is the perfect opportunity.

Aellius:

I get up to help the drone. Mhy space was something Tiberius did not like apparently so I assume it might be a tool to use.

Brazentroch calls for a inventory of what we have. Brothers volunteer to take each section. We learn we do not have anyone with the medical capabilities of Hypnos. That maybe a problem now that we could become sick.

At least there was a good amount of fruit..in cans and frozen ;)

Aellius:

I nod slowly as Brazentorch tries to work out the details, having such a outdated and obvious old hive was quite the risk. Yet a part of me is glad to be still 'home'. I was glad we are not leaving it.

A brother volunteers to monitor the traffic at once. I pity what he will have to hear ;)

"Yes we will find the perfect opportunity I'm sure, based on the 'mhy space' Michael's subjects seem to 'travel' quite alot... placing the drone somewhere among them must be plausible."

I look back at the drone.

"Perhaps we should show him the other drone's pages..as research on how to act."

Aellius:

I was pleased Brazentorch approved my idea for the drone's use. We only had one so I hope this is worth sparing him for.

Brazentorch holds off on naming him for now till we find a list of the drone names.

"Maybe one of you can research the lists." I bring up to the very quiet technical knowledge brothers left. Most of the coward scientists left after all.

I think of how to bring the drone in.

"Our darts may be detected, we are on a ..older hive."

If we werent moving we'd be such a target I asusme...

Aellius:

I nod slowly when Brazentorch speaks of sharing the news with our brothers. It was still so hard to..process. I felt sorry for our brothers who would have to experience the horror of 'this new world'.

I force myself to see Caelus and Marcellus again - one last time. Surly they are hideous mutant beasts like the one who maned them. No longer brothers.

The new Queen was all we had to strive for it seemed.

It was hard to picture Alana as a..mother she was still our little sister, Queen of course but...already gone from us?

"Yes the drones hailing her, is a great sign."

The drone we had gets exited and asks for a name wanting to have 'fun' like his fellow drones.

I frown looking back at him at such a request. But there was..only one.

Brothers feel the HOPE rise at the prospect of a queen related or not related, we cant afford to be too selective now when most if not all our dead.

Some brothers want to find this child now - before she is tainted while others worry she might already be eaten be the beast who attacked recently.

"Perhaps this 'attack' in the kingdom can aid us, we must find where we could ..make contact or get close..find out truth ... maybe..the drone? Since so many seem to be allowed near her...would they tell the difference if we send in ours?" I put the idea out and look to Brazen. We might be recognized but the drones Lastnight never saw without masks!

Aellius:

I wasnt in a good to deal with the bickering, what done is done! I grow angrier at Tiberius for waking us all up to this..

My concentration snaps back at Brazen's 'BROTHERS'.

I was glad he reminded our brothers that Tiberius would NOT take them back if they left us. He would not take back poor Marcellus and Caelus then surly any of us could be 'compromised' as well.

"Yes! We need to stand together, no matter what." I agree glad to have such a STRONG commander. ;)

((Should we show them what we discovered now?))

I ask not sure he wanted it known now, but maybe it would be for the better to those having second thoughts.

Aeluis:

I listen to Brazentorch's point.

((Perhaps all the cowardly left with Tiberius..))

I try to make a slight jest on the way to Zeena.

Two brothers were already fighting about being left behind and showing regrets. One brother sees us and yells it was our fault they we're left as Tiberius was 'pushed to far'.

"Do you want to go out alone and look for him then!?" I question one who sits down. While the other two get into a psychical fight over what happened, DISHONORING the Zenna.

Aellus:

I nod when Brazentorch wants to call a meeting of the zeena.

I summon all our remining brothers, it felt like such a ..small amount.

It unsettles me.

((Do you think any will contest you for Commander?))

He was so strong with Tiberius and Claduis...who else?

Aellius:

I nod when Brazentorch says it may be a trap for Tiberius.

((Michael still does not know we are not with Tiberius, this may be good for us.))

Once he starts his 'war' with him Michael wont look for us.. he doesnt know we split up.

Yet what could we do... till then.

Aellius:

I try to understand anything that's happening. Everything felt so unreal, like a warped and distorted fantasy.

It was truly alien madness!

((Can we..trust this?))

Is this..real?

Our brothers in the clutches of some mutated beast.

I did not want to believe it!

The babies.

Our sister's children....

((Its not to late for them, they are away from that place we MUST find them.))

For all I know the kidnapper was worst a alien monstroriery then the creature with our brothers but I could not bare the thought!

Aellius:

I freeze up at Brazentorch's discovery.

Our parents...gone.

It just made the hive with so few minds even more isolated and empty.

((He must truly believe we will all die here if he took them...))

Was it that hopeless...

I lower my head as if to give them a moment of respect and goodbye.

Aellius:

Brazentorch asks me what happened. I struggle to clear my stunned head as I look at broadcasts picked up on the bridge. This was such an old hive for this timeframe but it seemed like it was updated... I check the records. By Caelus.

Poor little Caelus..

Tiberius was so selfish to have stunned us all, we lost so much time and who knows what HORRORS befaced Caelus and Marcelus now.

((Com- Tiberius.)) I stop calling him Commander, he has left.

((He woke me up..a few others.. he wanted to convince them to go with him. Some went, other's stayed.))

I look at the drone.

((He took most of the drones..we now have one.))

Brothers begin waking up confused and forlorn. It had been a dreadful experience among us all.

I already begin to sense who was gone..Hypnos of course... Tacitus.. Quirinus... Gaius....and?

((Claudius left too.))

Always so close to Tiberius, I suppose he was not cut for Commander...

Aellius:

I was one of the first to awaken and see what had transpired. A SINGLE drone was left on the bridge and it was clear Tiberius took many brothers with him. SO much for exile.

I clench my fists at the whole helpless situation. Gaius was going to get killed and he agreed to let Caelus and Marcellus rot away?

I storm to the bridge and try to see where we are now.

I have never felt so ..lost.
