Matriarch

You feel your questions go out like a pulse among the minds of the two drones. They both stop for a moment, as if processing it. Moments later a torrent of memories and experiences flood you.

First was their hatching. all of them hatched within an hour of the last.  The First dutifully helped all the others with hatching and had a couple of berries gathered up already. This one is actually with you now. Its a bit smaller then the others. the second went to forage and was promptly killed by one of the strange creatures from the sky. the third was born missing an arm, and later was picked off by one of the strange wriggly creatures in the evening hours. the Fourth is also with you, not much of note has happened to this one. the Fifth is the only one whos fought and killed one of the wriggling creatures. its remains constituted your first meal. the sixth after gathering quite a few berries and exploring quite far, fell prey to the alluring plant. the Seventh has been building up the beginnings of your hive. mulching up wood to create walls. the eighth was helping the Seventh when it was snatched by another one of the fly creatures the ninth and tenth stumbled into what seemed to be a den of the wriggling creatures and were immediately killed.

You bring a handful of berries to you mouth and pop one in. as you shew the sweetness fills your mouth and you continue eating them, one by one till you feel youre sated on the berries at least for now. you still want something more… substantial tho.

From here you can see into the trunk despite the lack of light, there seems to be some glowing moss of sorts illuminating parts of it. 

You sense what your drones could not, and you know there is something alive inside of there. Beyond that, not much else. you really dont know anything about this surrounding area, maybe the drones in their forays have learned and found things.

Sending the query like a pulse all four of them respond with their memories of this area. 10 originally, all hatched before you to prepare for your coming. 6 died. 2 to a very fast creature that flew in the skies around the tree in the daylight hours. picked off while picking the berries. 3 to strange creatures that seemed to have no limbs that moved with some amount of speed that were… hard to spot. with long flexible bodies that seemed to meld colors around them together and came from unexpected angles. The last fell prey to the scent of a strange plant. once it was caught it couldnt escape its hold without a queen to guide it. 

All of these deaths occurred relatively close to where you are right now. As You and your drones gather more berries, you tell them drones to chime in and warn you of these things before hand. you also make a note to have your future children do the same.

Matriarch3

Roll 80/100

You command your drone to sample the berries.

It gathers a number of them poking about at them before consuming them. After a few minutes the drone seems and feels alright. a few seconds after your observation your drone gives you its feedback.

Sweet, sour, juicy, good. Queen should eat.

Matriarch 2

Roll, 39/100

Flicking one of your antennae, two drones start to lead the way down the massive tree youre on.

Its a rather hazardous route as you find out, you have to wait for your wings to dry before you can even start descending. as you flit your way down the branches, you see the stars adorning the night sky handsomely, and a cluster of three moons travelling slowly through the starscape,

Your drones eventually stop on one rather large branch, with an opening into the trunk of this tree, and wait for you before doing anything else. As you descend you notice a number of brightly colored berries glittering amongst the branches.

Matriarch Intro

The first sight to greet you as you emerge is the face of your caretaker.

Its a drone, one of four, your inheritance, and probably the last surviving members of the last Hive. You can feel its mind probing into you, and as easily as you take your first breathe you subjugate it to your will, the rest following suit. 

You gaze out to your new dominion, and as far as your eyes can see is the canopy of a dense forest. Fitting how your first home is in one of the tallest tree around. 

You hunger. 

Your drones have some food, but seeing as they weren’t directed, very little is available. its enough to stave hunger away for now, but you’ll need more to grow. to lay.
