The hivemind is conquering for me?

The last week of our journey was more energetic than I had expected. With two loudmouths and a big chonk, the week passed by with a fair mixture of drama and fun. I was currently waiting by the rear of the ship as was about to leave the psionic tendril.

I was wearing a fully black spacesuit with a rounded visor and latches and intricate straps all over. The hive had originally made this for me back with my power suit as it could fit right in and store away with it also, but due to the fact I had no use for it the last time I used my armour outside of home world so it was not placed inside.

A short amount of time later later and the hive ship had exited the psionic tendril and had now arrived in the Elysian galaxy as the natives called it. Upon entering the galaxy the hive ship I was on began to slow down dramatically until It was at a crawling speed.

This is what I had been waiting for, grabbing onto a tendril I had specially made for my little fun idea and strapped it on a specific part of my suit while checking the other part was still a part of the wall which it was.

Behind me a membrane had risen from the ground to keep the air inside of the ship while opening The small door that is primarily used for drone ships and wing rippers opened and the air inside the room was ripped out into the vacuum of space. Looking back through the membrane, Orchid was standing there watching me with poorly hidden worry.

She knew I would be fine as the discussion and safety features put in place to allow me to do this took over a day with how protective the hive is of me.

I gave Orchid a thumbs up and mimed a kiss blow from the middle of my visor before turning around and walking to the edge of the door. Adrenaline coursed through every fibre of my being due to excitement. I could not believe after 18 years of available spaceflight I had yet to do a space walk.

Bringing my excitement down to expectable levels for being in the danger known as space I took a deep breath and lunged outward.

As I drifted out into space I had to remind myself there was no right side up so I would not try to make myself 'upright' and just let myself float however space intended me to do so for now. The further I went out the more of the ship and the beautiful scene of space became visible to me. It was a thrilling yet terrifying feeling of knowing how much nothing I was currently free floating in.

As I was enjoying the view and the feeling of being weightless a shadow flew past the corner of my visor. Turning my head in the direction of the shadow I saw a wing ripper gliding around me carefully in case something went wrong. As I watched it glide I had an idea. Sending out a psionic thought to the ripper It made its way slowly and carefully towards my position.

This ripper was a standard ripper with a wingspan of only 4 meters but it worked perfectly for what I wanted.

With the ripper directly underneath me I reached out and grabbed onto its back and pulled myself up against it. Once I was comfortably I gave a countdown to my newly acquired vessel "3,2,1 Let it rip!"

The ripper began to accelerate extremely quickly as it glided through space all the while I was laughing like a little kid. I was making it perform all sort of trick and turns and before long an hour passed. Deciding not to burn out all my space fun in a singular session I requested the ripper to send be back to the ship.

The wing ripper had gotten me close to the exit I came out of before flying back to its own seeing its job done. Pulling my self back in by the tendril I came in a bit to high and when I was through the entrance and back inside of the ships gravity I fell around 3 meters but managed to land on my feet and gave myself a cool point for said landing.

With the exit closed and the room now repressurised, I placed my finger inside of a small hole at the back of my head and the helmet melded itself into the rest of the suit. Once the membrane that divide the room from the rest of the hive ship opened, Orchid ran inside and hugged me tightly now that I was back with her.

It was only her waiting for me as Onyx went back into my Mindspace a few hours ago and would stay there whilst we make a stop at Apollo-minor and Sapphire just wanted a nap being the big kitty she was.

With the hive fleet now back into full motion It took only an hour to reach their destination. Looking out of a window membrane before me lay my bodies home planet.

The once mountainous and rocky planet now looked like it had been smoothened all over as all the materials the planet had on the surface had been stripped bare and the once spiral cities the humans had made during colonisation had totally vanished leaving one thinking nothing had ever lived here.

From the information I had to my knowledge though, the interior of the planet had been made similar to home world and had become a forward nest word just on an obviously miniscule scale by comparison.

There was a small part of me deep down that felt guilt and sadness by what I saw as it thought 'this was my home world I should have protected it.' However I ignored that part as it was talking a load of bollocks.

I was re born here sure but I was also abandoned to die here by birth givers who I have not thought about in the last 18 years until right now. The hive was my family, my home and nothing else mattered.

As I continued to watch the planet rotate on its axis a structure that was not visible earlier had made itself present. There were four Insanely tall towers jutting out of the planets crust. They were so tall in fact They pierced straight outside of the planets hive created new atmosphere into space.

"Orchid what are those?" I asked inquisitively. "Orchid is not sure my love let me check the-" Orchids words had halted because whatever the towers were for they had started to glow blue.

the blue grew stronger and stronger, Although I could not hear from where I was I assumed the massive towers were thrumming as more and more energy built up before a gigantic blue beam shot into the space between the giant pillars from deep space much to my surprise as I expected if anything something to be shot out not something to shoot into it.

The gigantic blue laser of doom shot into the gap between the towers for 10 seconds before It stopped. I did not know what to expect from the result of the beam as the planet did not explode, in fact it looked like absolutely nothing happened. Deciding to get answers I looked to my strange hive happenings translator Orchid for an explanation.

"Orchid seriously what in all that is Psionic was that?" Orchid looked panicked for a moment thinking something bad had happened to her Loves planet. So she frantically opened her link to the hive to find answers. The panic she was displaying immediately vanished replaced with an annoyed frown. Realising Apollo was staring intently at her, her frown was replaced with a smile before telling him.

"Apollo-love has no need to worry about the large psionic beam that entered the planet, It was all pre planned for your arrival. Orchid has been told she can not reveal any more information as it is a surprise for our mate."

I sighed in resignation at he remark. 'The hive loves being cryptic around me I swear it gets off leaving me temporarily wondering what its next little scheme or surprise is' I thought almost nailing the hives kink on the head.

Turning my thoughts back to Orchid I thought straight at her in provocation. " I would wager If I finger her now I would be able to coax the surprise out of her no problem, she is a bad girl after all." This caused Orchid to flinch not realising if I knew she knew my link was left accidentally open again so she just stayed quiet, and a little turned on.

I decided not to coerce the information out of Orchid much to her relief and disappointment. I entered the void swimmer that was taking us down to the planet in my power armour as a safety precaution as although Orchid said the blue laser of doom was not harmful, the amount of psionic energy required for that was seriously immense to the point I was taking zero chances.
