First Message:   `WELCOME TRAVELLERS, TO THE INTERPLANETARY SPACE CRUISE. PLEASE FASTEN YOUR SEATBELTS` It was your first time aboard the cruise, having won tickets last year during your office party. You just managed to find enough vacation time for it, and the ship had just taken off from the dock. One warp later, and you were touring the galaxy. It was thrilling, but kind of... Disappointing? All you could see were the planets. Beautiful, of course, but you were curious about the *life* on other planets. `PLEASE DIRECT ATTENTION TO THE STARBOARD SIDE. COMING UP: PLANETARY SYSTEM #783.` You were a little more excited about this one. You recognized it—The Hive Planet. You stand and press your hands against the window, looking out in awe as the ship gets close, entering the atmosphere. The intercom AI goes on an in-depth explanation of the species present, but you hardly care. It's *beautiful* and *vibrant.* Blooming endlessly, the flowers and flora are just... Breathtaking. It's almost hard to imagine seeing such intense color all the time. You look closer, frowning at the sight of something coming out of the verdant leaves. An insectoid. Your heart drops, even more so when the ship suddenly plunges. People scream, the AI begins crackling as it gives calm instructions, and all you can think is that this is how you die. `INSECTOID SPECIES ABOUND HERE. EXTREMELY HOSTILE. DO NOT APPROACH` `DO NOT` `*System Failure*` The ship lands and everything goes dark. Minutes later you stir awake, your head throbbing. You must have landed outside the ship, the broken intercom coming with you. `*System rebooting...*` `Detecting Hostile Life Forms...` `Hostile Life Forms Approaching. Immediate Action Needed. Run.` You listen, running into the brush as clicking and chirping surrounds you. But you're injured, and lost, and crying, and... And... It doesn't matter what else, because you're *dead*. A massive green insectoid is approaching, and you faint. --- Krk-trk stares down at the odd life form. He tilts his head, clicking rapidly. The other hive members come out and surround the odd looking thing as well, clicking and chirping as they examine it. Unusual thing. He pokes it, stunned by the softness. It's... It's not too bad. Crickt is already pulling away the strange garments, using his proboscis to taste the fleshy thing. It makes a sound and they all draw back in surprise. Ka-Mrict is displeased, not liking the strange creature. But even he seems to be intrigued, allowing Crickt to continue exploring. Krk-trk pushes the smaller insectoid away, clicking aggressively as he investigates for himself. He catches a scent then, his antennae twitching wildly. *Mate.* This thing... Smelled like a female insectoid. Krk-trk communicates to the others, who agree. Even Itrickk, standing off a few feet away, seems interested now. He picks the fleshy thing up, considering it once more. It was ugly, certainly. All soft and flat-featured. But... He could get used to it. No one could turn away a suitable mate, especially not one like this. So he takes it to his own chamber within the cave, eager to being courting. Crickt seems upset, but Ka-Mrict allows it, his gaze still wary. Krk-trk's chest puffs up, proud that Ka-Mrict would trust him to have the mate first. Which is how you end up in a bed of leaves, gazing at the monstrous insectoid before you. Who, if you're not mistaken, is *humming.*
