Formicea Chapter 212

So it's ti I get into studying.

Toris was right, it definitely helps to identify things one should commonly watch out for.

It also makes realize where I need to prepare a bit more.

However, a bit into my studies, a pressing concern arises, and I decide to take my leave.

(E)

I need to confer with Uma about my plans, send notifications to Valera for materials and help I need, and set up a eting with a certain rchant.

Who would've thought I'd beco so busy?

I need to admit that I'm slightly overwheld by all the things that suddenly plop up.

Speaking of which:

"Plop"

Yeah, I made it out of the chamber of knowledge just in ti.

Having a laying session just there, with all the scholars, would've been a bit much.

However, while I let the eggs leave and the nurses do their job, I sincerely think about what is required for now.

Rather pressing would be a talk with Uma.

I'll need a lot of support and resources.

The way it sounded, the establishing of my hive is sothing and my brood should do by ourselves.

At least, this was a common topic with all the pods I accessed.

Like building one's own house so you can truly recognize it as a ho.

But this doesn't an I'll have to do everything completely by myself.

For example, I can definitely request materials and food.

Only that this has to be talked over with the one responsible for allowing to take stuff.

Which is unfortunately Uma.

Yep, despite this being about becoming independent, I can't go without her involvent.

Also, I need to send ssages.

One to Honiu and the king in order to request anything they might have in Tarsona about keeping fish.

Sothing I hope a nation that extrely revolves around ships and the sea is knowledgeable about.

The other goes to Olira, as I plan to make use of her contacts.

You know, fish catchers, engineers, maybe even materials.

She's very likely to demand a considerable commission for helping out, but I hope she sees helping with my fledging hive as an investnt, so I hopefully can get around being in debt with her for eternity.

Here, I beco aware that I seriously have to look into improving my handwriting.

Even my reading skills aren't quite up to par.

Conveniently, the usual way of delivering information in the swarm offers a workaround.

I simply have to give a respective pheromone concoction to a ssenger.

Either prepared in a pod or directly.

However, the forr is a bit weird, as I basically have to spit in a vessel while thinking very hard about what I want to convey.

Nonetheless, I'm rather confident about the Formicean delivery system.

It doesn't take long before I already receive an answer from the queen.

She's saying that she will grant an audience the next day, as today's activity interval is almost over.

I can live with that, as it was a very busy day and I also fear I might jumble up sothing in my exhaustion.

Yeah, a night in my alcove will work wonders for my ntal state.

Until I wake up again.

(E)

What about ntal stability to improve production?

(E)

It's more of a vague feeling, but I sohow can tell apart that there are eggs like this inside .

(U)

While I wouldn't say so openly, I admit to myself that Uma can be helpful at tis.

(U)

Yeah, that was to be expected.

and my big trap.
