Okay, a eting of the broodmothers.
According to Liseti, it's simply an occasion where the princesses and the queen co together so they can discuss urgent and important matters.
This only includes the present ones, as it would be too much of an effort to call princesses from the other, mostly autonomous hives together.
The queen apparently ca up with this in an attempt to delegate so of her responsibilities to the others.
Yet because Honiu is usually declining all invitations of the queen it never ca to a real eting.
Which is the reason why Liseti got such great influence by being responsible for assigned patrols, security units, and general administration.
But now I am here as well.
And this topic, for maybe the first ti in centuries, is a thing of really great importance since the swarm is surprisingly isolated and rarely has to discuss new developnts.
There seems to be sothing like a protocol to this we need to follow.
It seems we have to wait in our quarters till a ssenger calls us to the queen's chamber.
Which should be logical as it's almost impossible at her size to change locations.
A short ti later exactly that happens.
I et Liseti close to the entrance with all the guardians waiting in front of it.

Sorry, but I doubt many could say yes when it's about standing your ground against a true titan.
And with the pheromones as a factor, lying is not an option.

I get that she has more experience than at her age, but on the other side, it might be that being several millennia old might screw one's outlook on such matters.
(U)
Huh, what does she an?
(H)
(U)
(U)
Yes, I know.
And that's the reason why this might work.
(H)
(E)
(H)
Huh? Why am I hearing just now about this possibility?
Liseti doesn't seem to be surprised at this revelation.
(U)
She's admitting it?!!
(U)
Says the one always talking with reverberating intensity.

I certainly have mixed feelings about the fact that the queen is working to establish access points to every single human settlent she finds.
This has quite a huge risk to be misused.
Yet even more problematic is that I am now supposed to help them to find our capital.
While it's not extrely confidential information, it feels a bit like selling out my old country.
On the other side, the direction this discussion goes is quite positive.
And she only wants to describe it.
If it's already discovered, then its location is known, no matter what I'm doing.
(E)
Guess I've just told them the general direction where I would think Valera would be on a map.
(U)
Makes sense that they wouldn't know this.
Already the sea should be quite a thing for them.
(E)
I'm already glad that concepts like "floating" are explained through the pheromones while I say them.
(L)
Wow, great.
An invasion force below Valera.
If people hear about this...
(U)
(H)
Honiu feels annoyed, agitated, and... jealous?
(U)
Wow, that was... surprisingly deep.
(L)
That's actually quite nice of Liseti.
I'll feel safe if she is there to ascertain that everything proceeds as it should.
(U)
(L)
(U)
This queen is simply too much.
(H)
I don't even know what to say anymore.
My mouth is agape and all my pheromones convey is "Huh?".
