The hivemind is conquering for me?

The kiss lasted only a moment. It was pleasant with no tongue. I pulled away and looked down at Mindy, who's arms were wrapped around my neck. "Hmm." I hummed out in contemplation. "That was nice." I said, getting a nod of affirmation from Mindy.

"However." I said as I unwrapped her legs from my waist. "You have had a lot to drink and are not thinking clearly." Mindy took in a breath to defend herself, but I continued. "I get it, you want to say, you knew what you are doing and that is fine. We can discuss that in the morning when I know 100% For now though, Lets get you back to your husband and you can barely stand on your own two feet."

Mindy simply meekly nodded and wrapped her arm around my torso for balance as I escorted her onto her ship. Her crew were giving me weird looks, I don't blame them, But seeing Mindy was just drunk, decided not to intervene.

After arriving at what Mindy assured was her room, I knocked on politely and waited. I heard movement inside as the man was probably getting dressed. As he opened the door he sternly said. "This better be important I was, oh." "Hi, we haven't met yet, I'm Apollo. Mindy here has had a bit too much to drink and I thought it would be best to escort her back."

Jacob looked me up and down, before looking at his wife who waved at him drunkenly. "Right, Mindy go on inside, Ill bring you some water in a second." Jacob said." "Okies! Night Apollo." "Night Mindy." I said as she moved into the quarters.

"So, thats all see you later." I said as I was about to leave. "So you are Kathrine's gigolo huh? You don't look like much. My men said you managed to slay some beasts today? Was that just your armour doing the heavy lifting or do you actually have any skill besides fucking married nobles?"

'Mindy was right, this guys an ass.' I thought. "Sorry, I'm not in the mood to stroke your ego quickdraw, later." My response caused a snicker from Mindy as she was still close enough to hear the conversation and a confused look from Jacob. 'Quickdraw? I don't even use pistols.' He thought.

He wanted to follow up on what I meant, but I was already making my way out of the ship as a women was literally wanting to die throating me and I up for some stress relief.

An hour and a half later, Kathrine was sprawled out on her bed, passed out. I took a quick dip in the tub to remove the juices from my lower half, before heating myself up and getting into bed beside her. I was still pent up as apparently being drunk made my libido rise. As I rolled over to close my eyes I couldn't help vent. 'Where the fuck is Onyx?'

I opened my eyes once more and I was in a Familiar location. "Interesting... I haven't been able to come back here in some time. It's slightly different." I spoke aloud my thoughts. In front of me was a Familiar strange red line that crackled with what appeared to be green and black electricity.

This line was different from the line I had originally witnessed however. Instinctually, I could tell this was not Orchid, but Onyx's memories of me. As I was about to step forward, thankful my Origin was giving me the answers I needed, a blue sphere floated in my peripheral. "What the?" I said. "That is new."

Walking towards the blue sphere, I touched it as I would the red line and an series of images flared up before my eyes. It was me fighting in the hole from a birds eye view and I had just caused the last two Dino's to retreat. The orb then vanished and I felt the perspectives respect for me lingering.

"Fascinating." I spoke unconsciously, and as if my action was a catalyst, more Orbs began to form. Not many, nearly a dozen. All blue except for one green one that shone brightly and felt some distance away. I decided to look at a few more blue orbs which all contained an image or two, alongside a lingering emotion.

These Orbs were from all different people and it left me even more curious about my this bizarre power of mine. Shaking my head I started towards the red line to find where my stalker was and A blue ball appeared right in front of my head and I walked into it.

I grew paralyzed a moment at feeling the set of images and the burning emotion that came with them. "I never expected to experience what it was like to get fucked by myself. Jeez Kathrine you are a fucking animal." I could not make sense of the emotions I was feeling as there were just too many to process in such a short time. Instead I once again made my way to Onyx's memory line.

Grasping the red line, Tally after tally expanded almost endlessly in each direction. I wasted no time leering into old memories and swiped all the way to the end up until the last tally. As I grabbed the tally, It began to move on its own following the path of the line and I suddenly heard a voice.

"Oooh, My universe?" Onyx shuddered with delight, confused as to why she could feel her beloved in her little hidey hole.

"Oh my, Are you reading my mind with your little power, Oh you cheeky thing! I'm sorry that I am away, my biteable desire. Oops bad thoughts. I will be gone until the end of your excavations I'm sorry. Just know that I am acting as your shield my love, protecting you from something trivial so you may enjoy yourself. Now get out of my head before I accidentally scare you off the hive forever.

I love you!"

As I pulled my hand away from the tally, I was not even mad about the lack of information she gave me. Just knowing she was safe and sound took a load off, although I still need something to take some more loads off me.

I was satisfied and was about the leave the blackness when the green orb in the distance began to twinkle and caught my eye. "Oh? How did I almost forget about you?" I tried to get close to the green orb, but for some reason I did not seem to be getting any closer. I had nothing better to do as I was currently sleeping, so I decided to just walk towards it until something changed.

6 hours of paradoxical walking later and my boredom seemed to bare fruit. The green orb began to finally get closer and I was now able to reach out and touch it.

Aeletha was currently asleep in her quarters aboard the satellite. Whilst asleep, she was inside her Mindspace attempting to restore her Foresight as the miniscule vision she received the other day has caused her great distress and she wanted to know more about the mysterious man in the photograph.

As she was meditating, Aeletha suddenly frowned as she felt something out in the Psionic plane just beside her defences. Looking over, she saw nothing for a moment, but the looming sensation was still there. Deciding to put her worries at ease, she moved her projection to the barrier and looked out.

She was confused for a moment as only the myriad of colours in the psionic plane were present As she kept looking though, A swirl of red and black started manifesting and making its way towards her.

"Is that an Origin?" Aeletha retorted in shock. It may be currently smaller than hers by maybe 4-5 times, but the density and power she felt from it was no joke. "How is it surviving out there without succumbing to madness. Where is its defence?"

Aeletha was so curious, she had forgotten the thing was actually coming towards her as it was generating zero hostile intent. She only took a hold of herself when the Origin was mere inches away from her barrier.

In the short amount of time, Hostile or not, She reinforced her barrier as best as she could towards the incoming entity. When the crash onto her barrier she was expecting never came, she looked over at the Origin in confusion. But what she saw next left her horrified.

The sphere structure of the origin began to morph and 5 tendril feelers wrapped around a third of her barrier. Origins do not change shape, What eldritch thing had she come across? She had excepted violence and assault, so when the pleasurable massage to her barrier came instead, She moaned with so much vigour at the pleasure, she moaned herself conscious.

"AAAHHH~" She screamed as she awoke into darkness. Without a seconds delay, Aeletha invoked an incredibly powerful Psionic ability and brought her Mindspace barrier into real space in a dome around her.

Aeletha expelled her psionic energy around the room to feel for any threat and stayed on guard until her guards, who heard her scream from across the satellite, arrived and even longer still after.

Meanwhile inside the black room, I just wrapped my fingers around the green orb and it just *popped* and dissapeared. I felt a bit miffed that after walking for so long, the orb just popped when I arrived at it, But I just shrugged my shoulders and decided to wake up instead.
