The hivemind is conquering for me?

Orchid looked dejected when I told her neither of them would be getting any 'Apollo love' for the duration of the voyage. Not only as a punishment for their squabble but also for the sake of Ronnie as I did not want him hearing all the sounds while he was by his lonesome.

Onyx also pretended to be saddened as well but she already knew this piece of information. All she said is that she would be next, she did not mention when next was as it was Orchid who jumped to conclusions assuming she meant tonight and helped seal that fate in the near future.

With my supervision, The rest of the ships night cycle went by in a peaceful state. "Its funny how much they do not get along and differ in personalities despite being the same being in technicality." I thought once more about the nature of the hive and how different they are around me compared to other species.

I know they fell in love with me because of my boon and I fell in love with them, but I often wonder about their personality changes. Was the effect also because of me? Did they begin to change because of my conscious always being inside of their brain? Or was it simply them displaying their mastery of adaptability to better fulfil their position as mate?

I had spent hundreds of hours contemplating this in my down time and I do not think I will receive my answer anytime soon. Snapping back to reality I was feeling extremely comfortable, Onyx was behind me allowing me to use her breasts as a pillow while Orchid who was straddling my waist was massaging my body with such precision and knowing It was genuinely difficult to supress moans of enjoyment.

I would have normally let them out to show her my appreciation, but she was being 'sneaky' by occasionally rubbing my one eyed snake with her thighs in hopes that I would break my punishment and that the massage would move onto something mutually pleasurable.

Thankfully during the time she kidnapped me to the other side of home world, I had developed an iron will against sultry acts and could tell the horny I was feeling to begone!

After Orchid finished her massage on my body, She asked for kisses as a reward. Deciding that kissing was not apart of the punishment I indulged as who doesn't enjoy some playtime.

Midway through the kiss, Orchid looked up towards Onyx as if displaying her victory over her, but to her confusion Onyx was just smiling in a way that irked her and compelled Orchid to attempt to coerce her mate into further escalating the playtime.

In the middle of our make out, a hand had reached into my trousers in attempt to release the beast inside. Pulling a way from Orchid I asked "Love bug, what are you doing?" "Orchid wishes for a nutritious drink, Is this ok?" The allure in her voice almost shattered the iron as she corned the beast so I had to resort to placing up cold steel.

Pushing Orchid away from me gently I re positioned my self and pushed Onyx off the bed as well. Picking up a nearby bottle of water I squirted water out of it towards each of them. "Bad bugs, bad." I continued to do so until the bottle was empty. The bad bugs in question did not put up resistance as they both deserved, and in Orchids case enjoyed, the miniature hosing.

Onyx was about to begin her piece in defence before I for once read her mind. "Orchid would not have instigated the sexually aggressive act without goading.

Considering you were the only being present beside myself I blame you for her acting out." Onyx looked to the floor after being caught before I continued, copying the monotone of her other voice "Now my loves, you can remain in the room if you wish but I will warn you now it is about to get cramped."

Without giving them chance to react, a large majority of the room was taken up by a very chonky girl. Sapphire looked happy to be out of the Mindspace, although she does spend most of her time just sleeping, but grew confused by her masters lack of emotion. "Sapphire be a good kitty and protect me from the two sexually devious women over there."

With my command said, I lay down on the bed and closed my eyes. Sapphire took her task extremely seriously and began to position herself. Half of her body she began to flatten my already sleeping form while the other half balanced herself on the ground with her large muscles bulging in intimidation.

Looking at the two beings she was guarding against, Sapphire opened her maw and bared her fangs at them while supressing a growl to not wake her master.

At the sight before her, Orchid let out a low growl of her own before storming out of the room in a huff. She was not angry at her Apollo, no she could never! She was frustrated at herself for upsetting him again in such short time and furious at the bitch behind her who she had fallen for her silent goading.

To distract herself Orchid went off to the cold room to devour some more tubed canine as digesting something would help distract herself.

Meanwhile Onyx walked out of the room with her head hung down while looking distraught and deeply saddened. "I thought we grew close as roommates, how could you show such hostility." Feeling the need for a pick me up as a tear was about the dramatically fall out of her eye, she went to go find a hiding spot for which she could cause Ronnies heart to almost cease to function upon frightening him.

Sadly for Ronnie, the origin behind his morning scare and pants change was now sweetly dreaming underneath a big blue chonk totally oblivious.

Apollo Minor: Nest world

Jewel had made a terrible mistake! Like an addict she had been had been craving for a hit of Apollo for a week. She initially thought the separation would be easy, she had lived countless years on her own against the vast universe and had no problem with how things were.

But when her reason for existence finally appeared before her, she could no longer fathom how she had managed as this whole week without her beloved felt 10 times longer than her long existence combined.

Jewel had considered temporarily taking over Orchid temporarily just for an hour or so to feed her needs, but she did not wish to appear weak before Apollo.

She also considered temporarily possessing the disgusting bio cult initiate but quickly shut down that idea with the fact that it would have only managed to stay whole for a second before exploding due to her power as the least important factor.

As much as she was struggling, Apollo had left her one thing that could keep her occupied and not increase the scale of her wars as a way to counter her craving. Before her was a nest pod that contracted and expanded slowly as the creature inside tossed and turned.

The creature inside was once the warrior Apollo had branded over a week ago only now It had begun to change drastically. Taking a mental note as Apollo said that her method of storing information inside her vast brain was 'messy'. Even though she could still access them almost instantaneously like that, she admitted Apollos way of filing memories had its benefit.

" 7th observation of warrior gene variant # 5'875'162'126'026. The warrior has Once again grown on nothing but my dearests psionic energy. The warrior is now at the same size as a standard freethinker variant and is continuing to grow. It has been changed out of multiple nest pods as it size grows and a new one is being created as I think big enough to house one of my guards.

An over caution I predict but just to be safe I may as well as I can just re absorb the biomass into the hive afterwards."

After her mental note was completed after not even a second, she placed the note in the part of her collective brain that has everything to do with Apollo and was at this point the most defended part of her brain in the whole hive.

Leaving the warrior to grow for a few more hours until the titanic nest pod was complete, Jewel left her Body in the corner of the room and transferred her consciousness back into her other form and began to distract herself more by checking up on her primes efforts in the furthest reaches of her mind.

She also began out of boredom to send more fleets on a whim to explore even more Psionic tendrils, as she may find something that could alleviate her boredom and her craving for Apollos presence.
