tl;dr[]

Communication between Free Antinium and other hives is established. Bird proves his worth to the Free Queen by singing.

Synopsis[]

Zevara questions the Free Antinium queen by remote proxy of Klbkch, who generously interprets her words. He assuages Zevara’s worries.

A package arrives at the Runner’s Guild, which the couriers discuss. Klbkch picks it up and delivers it to his queen. The package is a queen facsimile, establishing an artefact-aided remote connection with the Grand Queen, allowing other hives to establish their own ways to communicate, but denying the Free Hive the same privilege. The two queens and Klbkch discuss recent developments, and then the Grand Queen’s presence departs. The Free Queen discretely resents the expected future meddling. Still angry she questions the usefulness of the ‘original’ Individuals, while Klbkch argues for them. She can see the use of Anand, Belgrade, Garry, even Pawn, as for Bird

He’s sent for questioning to the queen. Klbkch tries to prepare Bird, but Bird goes immediately off script. Disappointed, recognising Bird as flawed, she’s about to end him as Bird starts to sing. Surprised the queen stops, elation and recognition coursing through her, deeming him worthy. She wants him to stay and sing for her, but Bird declines. After some more talk the queen accepts his decision and lets him go, tasking him to return with a bird and sing for her again.

After Bird purchases a high grade bow with funds from the queen and help from Krshia, he returns to the inn’s tower and sings.
