*he chortles and heads for the exit* I will try my best. *accepts his pamphlet as he exits hive medical, floating it before himself. He reads as he walks, not quite paying attention to if there is any drone in his way*

*he's sat in the mess hall, swirling a small cup of rationed amrita. He emits a low sigh* Bother... *down the cup and shudders as a glow emanates from the two glands on his neck*

Gah! *smacks the table* Never pleasant going from empty. Never!

*he catches @MLP_Onyia's eyes on him and waves*

Ah! I wouldn't expect you to see me. I'm not exactly the most er... social of drones if you would say. *he chortles and scoots, allowing room for @MLP_Onyia* I cannot say I've seen you either, sister Zax.

That is good. They need all the help they can get. Unfortunately, my abilities are not exactly needed at this time. The hive itself needs no apparent construction and I am in no mood for sculpting. *he slumps down a bit*

*he gives a wry smile* Oh hoho quite the opposite. With more of those online... we can make more of those ponies pay.

What happens if you calibrate them to the point they calibrate themselves? Then aren't you out of work? *headtilt* ((No worries @MLP_Onyia))

<Purple is a good colour. Better than green even.> *he half-jokingly attempts to link to @MLP_Onyia just to see if it works* Well then here's to an everlasting purpose. *raises his empty amrita mug*

*he winces and holds his head for a moment* Maybe it's good you don't have a link. *looks around* That's the second one this week...

Why yes I'm perfectly fine. It's just this really sharp... noise bursting into the link. Like a metal fork on the finest china. *shudders* Something may be wrong elsewhere.

Whatever it is I'm sure it'll be handled. *nods affirmatively*

No thank you. *he puts a hoof out* That stuff does unpleasant things to me. I do thank you, though.

I didn't even know they needed parts. I always thought they were organic in design.

Understood. *he pauses* Okay I don't understand at all but I support you @MLP_Onyia. *nods*

All? Heavens no. I help with things that need to be truly permanent. My resin takes /days/ to be scraped off and requires dangerous methods to do so.

No. Those pods are far too delicate. I'd hate to cause them any damage.

Yes! Sister Iaso is taking swabs for some sort of project. I am not certain what type, but it's surely important. You should head to medical when you can.

Just be sure to get to it, @MLP_Onyia, lest Iaso come find you. She will find you.

*he remembers the day he didn't report for his checkup* *shudders*
