Epic of Bee-Chapter 299 The Bee Brain
"This is Jess, and she is my second wife, according to the two of them," Gamble said, rolling his eyes, and both women giggled and kissed his cheeks, and I nodded. ƒ𝔯𝗲𝗲𝙬𝒆𝚋𝐧oѵℯl.𝒄𝑜m
"That sounds about right; you are the smartest person that I know. You also have the most time to think about things, but there are just some things that you can't get around. Still, I am happy for all of you, and I am glad that everything in the station turned out well," I said, and Gamble nodded.
"Yep, everything is going fine there. I got a gravity system going and got everyone doing what they are supposed to for now, but we have a direct line of communication with the place now. It helps a lot with keeping track of everything," Gamble said and then turned his attention back towards me as Serria up from my lap to come behind me and lean on my head as she listened. "The modifications will take some time, but if we start now, we should have something ready within two minutes."
"That is fast! What did you do?" I asked as Gamble chuckled under his breath while Pixie giggled too sweetly beside him. They both were so cute together! Even the new woman seemed amused by this whole exchange between us.
"I copied your design down exactly and took some slight liberties here and there," Gamble explained nonchalantly, and my jaw dropped open in shock but then immediately closed when Jess started cracking up, laughing so hard she practically fell out of her chair.
Serria just giggled into my neck fur, and I could feel her shoulders shaking with mirth behind me. I just rolled but was forced to giggle when her whiskers started to tickle my face, and then she started to do it on purpose. I turned my head a bit just as she was about to do it again, and our noses touched for a brief moment before we started laughing harder. It took us a few minutes, but we finally managed to get ourselves calmed down enough to be able to listen to Gamble again as he started in on his explanation of the modifications that he had made.
"I see that we have a major expansion coming with all the new subjects that you have acquired. Even with your sorting system, we are still going to have to organize things for that many new people. I suggest that instead of building up, we hang our city below. I have ways that we can do it without worrying, and this will allow for a massive garden and forest to be grown on top of the Hexscape. This will take away the need for so many places to live, and everyone can have a place to relax and find peace. I think this is going to be the start of something amazing!" Gamble exclaimed with pure joy in his voice, and I nodded my head in agreement.
"That sounds excellent! We can also use that extra space for military training since we are probably going to have an influx of new soldiers as well. This is all perfect, as usual! You never cease to amaze me with your ideas, Gamble," I said, and he blushed a bit at the praise but Pixie kissed his cheek sweetly and Jess patted his arm gently.
"I think this is all wonderful news! What else do we need?" Pixie asked, and Gamble looked over towards me expectantly while Serria started giggling again behind me. Clearly, she was still amused by our earlier antics, but she had gone back to listen quietly now that things were getting underway again.
"We need to go over the map and what our options are, and how we are going to deal with things. We have been looking at it, but I wanted to get Gamble's opinion since he knows this place better than anyone," I explained, and Gamble nodded his head in agreement before he pulled up a map. He expanded on the table, and we all leaned forward to look at all of the different markings that were on it.
"This is all of the confirmed nests that we know about, but you have confirmed that there are only four left, right?" Gamble asked, and I nodded.
? "Yes, after removing the W1 Virus, I am now able to track creatures infected with it, and there are only four left," I explained, and Gamble nodded with a big smile.
"Well, that is good news! We can focus on those last four and try to take them out as quickly as possible. I think our best bet is to go in with a large force and just overwhelm them. They have been beaten down pretty badly, so I don't think they will put up much of a fight," Gamble said, and I shook my head in agreement.
"That is what I was thinking too, but we need to be careful. We don't want to underestimate them, and Tag and Sig already said they had a way to disable them, so I am more worried about getting the Drones upgraded right now. I added more Drones for the girls, but I need them to be able to subdue and capture, not kill, this time," I explained, and Gamble nodded his head in agreement.
"I think we can do that, but it is going to take some time. I will get started on it right away!" Gamble said as he stood up from the table, and Pixie and Jess both got up too. They all hugged me before they left the room to go back to work on the modifications, while Serria and I remained behind, and I let out a long sigh. There was still so much to do to bring the Swarm Wars to an end, but the end was in sight.
"I think we are going to Bee just fine, my love," Serria said as she came to sit on my lap again, and I wrapped my arms around her.
