The hivemind is conquering for me?

The drive south had been most pleasant. Taking in the scenery thanks to my night vision, I watched as the arid grassland went by in silence. As we arrived closer to the border, The scenery began to change as more and more building appeared and the wild terrain vanished almost instantly.

The buildings we were all driving past now were all sophisticated and looked new and maintained. It was quite the contrast compared to the jungle of skyscrapers that appeared in the distance right on the equators border.

As we passed the sign that signalled the equator I grew confused and wished for clarification. Pushing a button to roll down the privacy barrier, I waited until it was down and asked a question towards the front of the vehicle. "Hey, out of curiosity how come there was no border security or anything like at the airport?

I would suspect travelling to and from each side of the equator would be under careful supervision?"

The driver, who was built like a house, turned to Ronnie for a second questioning the origin of the asset before responding politely as he could. " Why would security be needed for that? The whole planet is the same city sir. The only reason you get checked at the spaceports and such is because you are moving from one city to the next and that needs confirmation.

Whereas here nothing is stopping anyone from leaving one hemisphere or another, its just that no one in the south would have anywhere to get employed in the north, unless they get lucky."

"Hmm." I murmured in acknowledgement. "Thanks for letting me know." "Aye, don't mention it sir, nothing there I told you that you could not have found out on your own. Oh by the by, We will arrive in 5 minutes, lady Sophia's club is not too far now."

"A club? Interesting" I thought through the link towards Orchid "Is that a common thing among infiltrators?" Orchid was surprised that I was using the link As we discussed not using it often while in hostile space, just in case. That being said she indulged in the enjoyment and closeness the link brought as she leaned onto my body before replying.

"Bio-cult infiltrators do tend to do a good job at blending into their environments. If this 'club' Is a place human-prey would go to congregate then yes, It would be a good strategy on the infiltrators behalf." I let out a cheeky smile at her reply before nudging her shoulder with my own. "Look at you being nice and complimenting your sister gene-class. Who thought it possible?

Not I." Orchid did not dignify my teasing with a response, as my emotions were written as clear as day across the link and she knew I was just trying to irk her for fun.

Moments later, The vehicle came to a stop outside a very busy building. "Ok sir." The walking house said turning around with struggle. "Here we are. I am to escort you through the VIP entrance receive the latter half of my payment and then dip. Does that sound good?" I gave him a polite smile and a head nod "Outstanding, mind your head on the way out."

With the cars suspension crying out in relief after he exited, Orchid Ronnie and I left the car and I took a better look at the surroundings. Boxed in on all sides by a wall of high-rises and skyscrapers, After living 18 years in pretty basic conditions, this came as quite a culture shock to me.

Orchid on the other hand held a face of disgust at her surroundings, She remembered how annoying it was to sweep through these large buildings looking for prey in her 5 meter tall body as the hallways were built annoyingly narrow.

In my country bumpkin stupor I had lost sight of my surrounding and a man who was accompanied by a woman accidentally barged into me making him fall flat on his ass as I did not even register he had touched me.

The man, embarrassed because of his companions presence decided to act the delinquent. "OI! Shit for brains! Apologies now before I kick your ass." Looking down at the man I grew a confused frown. "Are you talking to me?" "Fuck yea I'm talking to you. Apologies before I end your life!"

Smirking inwardly at the insane situation in front of me, I was about to give the poor guy fair warning over the situation he was stepping into before his body was replaced by a gigantic foot in an instant.

Walking past me as his foot touched the ground my hired help walked over to his car which now had an idiot shaped dent in its side. Raising the now unconscious guys head, my body guard spoke to himself. "Minor metal implants.

Wont die but will feel like shit for a couple weeks, lucky ass punk." letting out a sigh of relief he followed up while looking at his car "You are lucky I got job insurance man or I'd finish you off."

I watched the people in the surroundings while My hired help walked off to the guy stuck in his car. They did not seem to give it more than a cursory glance before they got back to chatting whilst waiting in line for the club. "You ok sir?" "Yeah, I was in no trouble, but I appreciate you earning your pay non the less.

Now thats enough of me gawking around, lets go in." I said while holding Orchids wrist so she wouldn't go disembowel the man.

Following the man to the VIP entrance, entering caused a bigger commotion out of the crowd than someone almost getting kicked to death but I just let out a chuckle and walked through the door. The interior of the building looked similar to a hotel before our hired help pointed to a staircase that went downwards.

At the bottom of the stairs a bouncer stood under A VIP sign. "Oh hey Maul, these friends of yours?" With a casual fist bump Our bodyguard, Maul, corrected the man. "Asset retrieval Job for Lady Sophia. I assume you know?" The bouncers eyes went wide upon realisation. "Oh shit is that why she has been so hyper focused on everyone today?

You better head on in before she snaps and actually murders someone." Maul let out a chuckle "Wouldn't be the first time." Before passing the bouncer who stared warily at Orchid and myself as we went by.

Past the precipice of the door Loud music was booming across the room as patrons of the club were dancing and drinking and in one corner of the room not so sneakily giving oral pleasure. As I walked in I received an incredible sense of Deja vu. The pillars made of what looked to be marble alongside decorative statues bordering the edge of the room. It gave me the sense of being home.

Quite literally it looked like Jewels throne room with a human twist and much smaller in scale.

Maul looked around his surroundings before a pipsqueak he recognised started running in his direction. "Hey Keyla, how are you? Is your boss around." Maul liked this pipsqueak as she was nice to everybody no matter the occasion so what happened next made his Jaw drop. "You shut up! Today is extremely important and Mo-Miss Sophia is running being schedule with a stupid meeting.

So take our most important guest to this VIP suite and keep him happy until she arrives." Looking behind Maul to the left, Keyla Saw Apollo taking in the atmosphere with Orchid by his side and a huge blush grew across her face before running away to deal with her next task." Maul, still stunned by what just happened picked back up his Jaw before telling his asset to follow him.

Entering the VIP suite I was pleasantly surprised. I did not know what to expect but I most certainly liked it. There was no sound apart from the music's vibration through the walls, It was a welcome change as the music was extremely loud outside and Orchid clearly did not like it.

The suite also had dim lights and a long couch that wrapped around the whole circular room with a table at the centre for plenty of space. On said table was an assortment of exotic alcohols. While I had not altered my body to get drunk like I planned, I could still enjoy the flavours.

Planting my self on the couch with Orchid following after, I reached for the closet bottle to me and removed its topper. taking a whiff It smelled delightful so I decided to have a sip. "Mmhhh." The flavour was delightful It tasted like dragon fruit and went down smooth.

Looking over the table to my body guard He had decided to also indulge in drinking as a bottle full of brown liquid was guzzling into his gullet while Ronnie just sat there in discomfort. "Hey man are you good?" I asked. Choking on some of his drink at my question Maul took a small cough to clear his airways. "Yeah man I'm alright just in shock.

This girl who Is as nice as sunshine all the time just yelled at me because of you. I mean, I don't want to be unprofessional here but seriously who are you?"

I was about to respond to the man with something vague to help him calm down, but I was interrupted by The door to the VIP suite sliding open...
