The hivemind is conquering for me?

"My Seer?" Rekosh asked in confusion. "Tell me Rekosh, how long have I had you for?" Rekosh was confused. "Um, you bought me from my crèche when I was still a whelp 60 years ago my Seer."

"And in that time have you ever seen me confused on what to do next?" "No my Seer, your gift given to you by the stars has guided our race for millennia."

The Seer turned around in her chair, facing Rekosh for the first time this conversation. She was a breath taking beauty, even to this day Rekosh lost his ability to breath whenever he laid eyes upon her.

She was 6ft1 with a lithe agile body, the perfect mate any Starforged would ask for. Her greyish purple skin was adorned with tattoos made of light. Her face seen sculpted like a work of art with her sharp tip nose, high cheekbones and sharp jawline.

Her eyebrows resembled upside down ticks while her eyes seemed clouded over like a blind person, only her eyes shone with a light that seemingly made them glow.

The Starforged's gift does not affect the pure-blooded of their species as heavily as the lowborn such as Rekosh. While he resembled something akin to a bipedal reptile, Aeletha, being one of the first to receive the gift thousands of years ago suffered only a series of horns on her head. 3 on her left side that contoured around the edge of her skull and one on her right that pointed to the ceiling.

Rekosh gulped accidentally at witnessing his Seers attire. She wore very little except gaudy ornamental purple an gold armour that exposed much of her attractive skin and matched the circlet she always wore to not get blasted by unwanted visions.

"Rekosh! Cease your lingering over my form!" Aeletha snapped. "Apologies my Seer." "As I was saying, It is true my gift given to us by the starts has given me foresight. And as I watched the mercenaries of those inferior barbarians descend onto that planet, my visions became silent. I am blind Rekosh."

Rekosh's breathing became ragged. "My Seer what could possibly have caused such a phenomenon? You are one of the strongest beings in the Coalition what could do this?"

"Rekosh will you calm down, you are sending spittle everywhere, I can hear it hitting my floor." Rekosh closed his mouth in embarrassment. "My gift Rekosh is incredibly volatile, the future is constantly changing, I have had moments of blindness before and I am sure It will happen again.

I am sure that something on that ship has changed the fate of the future somewhat and I should be able to see again soon. Well that or another with foresight stronger than my own is upon the ship.

However that is unlikely as the barbarians in control of Spartari would have them under lock and key if they were capable of breeding one so strong." Aeletha murmured the last part to explain all angles, even if it was the least likeliest possibility

"My Seer, What shall we do then now that you are temporarily blind?" Rekosh asked nervously. "As I said I no longer know the future. However, we shall continue with the future I did know. Have the Thurx on standby ready to FTL into the sector when the Spartari make their move. After that we will see."

"Of course My Seer." Rekosh was about to leave before he was interrupted. "Oh and Rekosh." "Yes my Seer?" "Lets not tell anyone about my current condition hmm? It will just cause panic and it is not that big of a deal."

Rekosh Called Winor shit on that one, but nodded to the blind woman and left the room. "Idiot I'm blind and he decides to nod his head." Aeletha shook her head as she got up and walked across the room with grace to make herself a herbal tea. Her slave may be an idiot, but he is strong and that is all she needs.

With her psionic sense surrounding her, She made her way to the window in her satellite as she 'looked' down at the planet below. Taking a sip of her tea, she unconsciously looked directly at where the Thanatos had just landed and commented. "Just what has that Hyllus women brought with her?"

It was not what Kathrine had brought, but what she had brought had brought. As soon as the Thanatos landed and its loading doors began to open, Onyx passed through the small gap and started sprinting with every muscle working over efficiency directly south, south east.

"What is she up to" I muttered as I felt Onyx speed past me and out of the ship. "Did you say something?" Kathrine asked as I apparently mumbled accidentally. "Oh nothing important."

The loading doors to the Thanatos opened and an armed escort wearing for this time period old fashioned military uniforms and ballistic vests. In the centre of the escorts 10 people in business attire were waiting for us to close the distance.

"Hang back slightly and look intimidating." Kathrine whispered out the corner of her mouth to me before walking ahead. The intimidation was not hard to achieve in my armour as I saw some of the escort guards tighten their grips on their guns as they eyed the minigun mounted on my arm while some of the politicians were whispering while looking right at me.

The arrival was filled with more hostility than what was supposed to be. The mercenaries did not pick up on it as they were busy off to the side meeting up with the other two ships, but after what Kathrine told me earlier, I could pick up on subtle hostility.

"Lady Hyllus, It is a pleasure to meet you in person. I must say, the rumours of your beauty are true indeed. And this must be Captain Starstrider a pleasure." "The pleasure is all ours President Geoff." Kathrine began cutting off Caleb who was about to turn into a self promoter. " I have been told my men are free to explore the city?

I assume that is still fine." Of course my lady, We just ask they stay in the city limits and don't enter suburban areas, for the civilians safety of course." "Of course. Caleb go and inform your men they have leave. As a neutral planet, 'Alexandria' accepts spartari currency so they should have no issue getting into clubs and such." Caleb nodded and walked off towards the mercs.

"Now then my lady, I know you wanted to discuss some things before you begin your geological survey in two days. What would you say to a dinner first? My officials are excited to discuss with you." Geoff offered. "Of course, we have two days for discussions, what is a few hours for a meal."

The politicians, alongside Kathrine, Caleb and I walked over to a large flying vehicle. Alexandria did not have the regulations Ecumenopolis 4 had. The skies of the world were jam packed with flying vehicles, lanes and lanes of traffic was seen on every twenty meters in elevation.

As Caleb and Kathrine got into the vehicle, I was about to follow them before a hand attempted to stop me. I did not feel it touch my suit so I continued my movement. "Not so fast there bud-aaah!

The commotion of the mans screaming turned heads. I looked to my right at why this man was screaming before I saw him hand bloody and broken at an angle as it got wedged between my form and the door.

"What is going on here?!?" Geoff exclaimed in anger and confusion at witnessing one of his bodyguards hands all bloody. "I think he tried to stop me from getting on and got his hand stuck." I said calmly. "As well he should have. You are a bodyguard, a grunt. You should be killed for your insubordination at trying to board the same vehicle as your betters." The fat man screamed at me.

"I don't like your tone." I replied calmly. Causing Geoff to gulp and his nearby men to reach for their weapons. "President Geoff, This man in the suit is Apollo, my bodyguard for this diplomatic mission, he is also an Arcon of a fallen planet, in other words he is a king and should not be spoken to with such disgraceful language."

Geoff swallowed again as he looked at the minigun on my arm. Neutral or no, you don't threaten nobility of any side with death on your world. Looking around at his men whom were still holding their weapons, Geoff decided to take his anger out on them. "What do you sorry pieces of shit think you are doing?

Lower your weapons this instant before I see it you never work in this line of work again!" After yelling he switched his tone to a tone so friendly it made me sick. "My most sincere Apologies Arcon Apollo, I did not know the full extent of your title. As an apology let me buy you a bottle of the planets most exquisite whiskey to show my deepest sincerity."

I responded with a simple nod as I wanted to remain stoic and I felt if I said anything more I would jeopardise expressing how much I hate this guy.
