When I next awoke, I found myself embracing both of my servants with my tail covering all three of us. I find that I enjoy waking to the sight of my servants near me, but then I feel the need to go to the gene-archive chamber. So, I remove myself from my servants who appear to be embracing each other. I again find myself enjoying the sight then I go to the gene-archive chamber.

Entering I approach the covered pool then just as I begin to pass it the pool unseals and out of it comes the first of a new gene sequence. What came out of the pool had: a long body, no limbs but for split jaws, and a sharper tail blade. I lower myself and the new type then starts to display itself to me. It keeps the same coloration as the rest of my home but when it comes to the indigo it covers the underside of the head and lower jaws, with cyan covering the entirety of its belly. After I inspected it I ordered in a commanding tone, "Explore the jailer-controlled areas and bring back what you can." It then bowed and left to carry out its orders.

When it left my chamber I then got a feeling that there was a group outside my chamber. I left the gene-archive then my personal chamber and I was followed by my servants. When I exited my personal chamber with my servants at my sides; did I see that there was a gathering of several workers and an additional protector.

I looked at the group and then pointed out to three and I said, "You three wait for me inside my chamber." And the three that I pointed out entered my chamber to wait for me.

I then gave labor orders, "Ten go to the gardens, three go to the rendering chamber, and the rest go into reserve." And once they all heard my orders they all left to carry out their assigned tasks.

When the last one was gone I then remembered that I hadn't checked to see what chambers were finished being constructed. Before I could go to check on the chambers that I ordered constructed a worker that was assigned to build those chambers approuched. The worker bowed and then said, "The ordered chambers have been constructed, mother-queen."

I find this quite surprising that ask, "And how did all the chambers that I ordered constructed get done during a single rest."

The worker with awe replied, "The ones that were in the communal resting chambers assisted in the labors of construction. Their assistance allowed for the expedient construction of the chambers."

I found that interesting the ones that I had yet to assigned any labors assisted in the construction of the ordered chambers. I found what they did as ultimately beneficial to my home and said with interest, "Let those who assisted in the construction know what they did was excellent for my home, and you may leave."

The worker bowed and said, "By the mother queen." Then left to inform those who worked on the chambers I ordered.

With that done I re-enter my personal chamber with my servants by my side. When I returned to the inside of my personal chamber I saw that the three I had selected had waited for me were near the center of my chamber. I tell my servants, "Wait for me on my resting surface." I ignore what my servants did cause I know that in the end they will do as told.

I didn't take my gaze from the three I then said with authority, "Follow, I have special labors for you three." I go to the gene-archive with the three workers following me.

Enter the gene-archive with the three workers following I go to the center and turning I see that they kept close to me and yet also at a distance. I gestured to one of the pedestals and I asked quizzically, "Do any of you three know what this chamber is."

All three were silent then one spoke, "None of us know what this chamber is, mother-queen."

I expected that to be the answer and I began to explain to them what their collective labor would be, "You three will be responsible for the creation, development, implementation, and archiving of gene-sequences for my home." I look at the three and I scrutinize them and all three are still and I continue, "I know this appears as an insurmountable labor with what I am demanding of you three, but that is false. Of all the workers I could have chosen, I chose you three fore I saw those who would do everything to ensure that my home has the best gene-sequences that could be made and used." I waited for a response and got none.

I was about to speak again when the three bowed and one spoke, "By the mother-queen; we shall do what is expected of us for the greater benefit of the hive."

I found myself pleased with this and I said, "Then do not let the labors that I have entrusted to you three." I then walked past the three and once I passed them I heard the three begin to settle into their place of labor.

I made my way to my resting cloister where I found a neo-nutrient bar at the edge. I figured that the renderers had yet to make more progress on my order, but nonetheless, I ate it and entered my resting cloister.

I found my servants who were both presenting themselves to me but I wasn't feeling the desire for either of my servants. I circled them then I laid down ahead of my servants and I began to think of all that I had accomplished from my escape from my prison to the completion of my home and even up until now. Then I came to a decision and I spoke to my servants, "I will be entering a deep rest and so I leave you my servants to take up the mantle of leadership while I rest, the gene-archivists are to continue their work should any not-living things enter my home they're to be hunted down and destroyed, however, should a jailer enter they're to be captured and held till I awaken and can decide what to do or should I not they are to be held for a time before then being released and removed from my home."

My servants lowered their heads low to the ground and replied, "Yes, mother-queen we shall do our best to lead in your absences."

I sternly say to my servants, "I know fore I am placing tremendous faith in both of you." I then curl up tightly and I fall into a deep rest.

As I rested I could feel new knowledge enter my mind. It was all knowledge about myself it covered: my saliva could aid in healing and recovery, my feet had claws at the end of the toes; which could pierce the armor of my jailers and any ground I would tread upon, my form was now closer to my jailers. Matter of fact I could pass as a jailer in poor lighting or if my jailers were panicked and couldn't get a good look at me. I could even mimic jailer speech with how my mouth was but it would be poor yet passible. Finally, my slit it had feelers on the inside. In fact, I found that my home was large enough, had a sufficient number of those who served me and I was at the age that I could produce an heir. However, I needed a mate and not just any would do I must find a prime subject to mate with to produce an heir.

I learned more as my form rested and as I felt all the changes my body was going through.

When I awoke I could sense that quite some time had passed while I rested. I called for my servants and shortly after they both came to me and bowed then gave their greetings and acknowledgment of my authority. I looked at them and saw that they had not physically changed but they did change mentally. I then asked curiously and authoritatively, "What has happened while I underwent my long rest."

My first servant then spoke with respect, "The hive has continued to prosper in your absence. It has captured many a jailer and after a rest they were released, though the jailers did find the way into the hive they have been repealed each and every time, the gene-archivists have completed labor on several new gene-sequences, and finally, we have begun a search for a mate for you."

I looked at my servants with confusion as I processed that. Then asked with interest, "So how did you know I could produce an heir to my home."

My second servant then spoke also with respect, "We just sensed that you were ready to produce an heir. We know not how just that you were ready."

I thought it over for a short time but in the end, I dismissed that line of thought and asked with interest, "Since I need a mate have any suitors been found."

Both my servants did nothing and made no indication that they had. So, to ease their ongoing task of finding me a mate I told them what criteria must be met, "A prospective mate must be capable of leading others, strong to hold their own against a soldier, and have sufficiently sized shaft with a large flesh-sack under it."

My servants now that they know what to search for simultaneously say with eagerness and excitement, "We know of an appropriate mate for you, mother-queen."

Now interested I said to both of my servants, "Then both of you go and bring this candidate to me." and with that, both my servants left in a hurry that neither of them gave a farewell to me. I then said under my breath, "This potential mate must be quite the example if this is how my servants will act this way."

As I laid on my resting surface in my thoughts as to the prospective mate my servants were retrieving, a free worker entered and gave me a neo-nutrient bar and I liked it. I had the free worker inform the renderers and when it left, I had nothing to do. As my thoughts were about to wander back to the potential mate my servants were retrieving, I shifted to lay on my back and instead of not feeling anything press against me I felt the opposite.

I got up and with my lower arms I touched the place and I found it to be soft and a bit springy. This was interesting cause before I had yet to encounter such a feeling, but now I found it most interesting. I then called for a worker.

I waited for a short time but a worker did arrive and I told them, "Go to the brood chamber and have the first attendant come to my personal chamber." Then the worker left to carry out what was ordered of it.

I laid on my resting surface and waited for the first attendant. It was when the first attendant arrived and before anything could be said I asked, "Part of me has gone soft and I want to know if you may know anything about that."

After I asked my question the first attendant stood before me. It was after quite a wait did I received a reply, "Ah, mother-queen, the reason part of your great form has gone soft is because it is wanting to prepare for your magnificent self to birth an heir to the hive."

Now I went silent for a time and when I came back I asked in confusion, "I must birth an heir and not another."

The first attendant bowed and replied, "Yes, that is the case but another must be the source of the seed that will allow for the birth of an heir."

I let out an annoyed sigh and then asked with interest, "Did my servants retrieve the prospective mate that was scouted for me."

The first attendant looked down and then replied disappointed, "This one does not know. Such knowledge is beyond what this one can know."

I let out an annoyed groan then asked curious about this particular subject, "What has become of my captures."

The first attendant looked away from me and then replied with their own annoyance, "The first captures were released and have gone on to cause a minor population increase among the jailers. It is not enough to cause concern of inbreeding just a population small increase."

I found that interesting but not enough to get me to ponder on it then I sensed something in the brood chamber. I got up and said to the first attendant with interest, "Go with me back to the brood chamber I feel that there is something there."

The first attendant bowed to me and said, "Yes, mother-queen."

I then exit my chamber and with the first attendant trailing behind me I head to the brood chamber.

Arriving at the brood chamber I found that a male jailer was restained in the center of the brood chamber and all of those in the cloisters were looking between me and the restained jailer who I sensed was quite panicked at where he was. I moved closer to the jailer and saw that the things they covered their bodies with were gone and their shaft and flesh sack were far too small even for the lowest worker. Then my servants came up to me and my first attendant spoke with… pride, "This is the potential mate who best met want was required, mother-queen."

I look to my first servant and unamused reply, "This (I point to the males' shaft and flesh sack) wouldn't even reach the deep recesses of the smallest worker." I then feel my chest mounds begin to produce a thick fluid followed by my flash sack and shaft demand for attention. I look more at the restained male jailer's body and notice that it's not as filled or toned as those that I first saw. I thought about what this jailer male could consume to grow to a satisfactory size and produce enough seed to produce an heir. Surely he couldn't consume neo-nutrient bars without any negative effects, but then I had or rather felt that which would fill the one who would aid in producing an heir.

Turning I spoke in an eager tone, "My servants and the first attendance follow me I may just know what is needed for this potential mate to allow me to produce an heir." I then return to my chamber with my servants and the first attendant following either close or just behind me.

Returning to my chambers I say, "Rest on my resting surface for what I will make each of you will want to be well rested." With that, my servants and the first attendant go and rest on my resting surface.

With them resting I begin work on my idea. I construct a raised surface that has holes for my chest mounds, shaft, and flash sack can hang freely from. Then I construct a collection basin that is above another basin that can be moved. I take a step back I find myself pleased with what I built then I feel my chest mounds grow increasingly heavy along with my flash sack and my shaft beginning to emerge.

I went and woke my servants and the first attendant then told them, "It's time; now follow." I rushed over to my construct and laying on the raised surface instructed them, "My servants will tend to my chest mounds by draining them, while the first attendant will tend to my shaft and flash sack."

I sensed them all hesitant then before either of the three could say anything I shouted with unquestionable authority, "Just get to it." and with that, all three began their work.

My servants pinching just above the lighter spots and then pulling down got the fluid to drain from me which I found pleasant. While the first attendant tended to my shaft by from what could feel rubbing it and nuzzling against my flesh sack. As my chest mounds, shaft, and flesh sack got tended to I felt a pressure begin to build near my flesh sack just above it and around my shaft. I did all I could to not release the pressure but then I felt it rush through. I felt the pressure pass through my shaft and moisten my thighs and my chest mounds; and as the pressure passed I let out a… moan, the first of many that would follow.

When the pressure passed and I felt no built-up need I passed out into rest.
