Bay City. Abominant Hive
[The night Nathan failed]

His knees felt weak, kneeling for a long time. The aura darkened when the Queen expressed her frustration. The fog thickened like cotton whenever she had to release anger.
Their dead brethren only came second, and what concerns her the most was his failure and the death of his Adjutant.
"Where is your Adjutant!" The Queen asked, screaming. Her voice reverberated to the nearby structures. What made her voice horrifying, especially when she expressed anger, were two simultaneous voices. One was hoarse and strong, overpowering the weak and sharp secondary voice.
It was the third time she asked and it was the third time that Nathan had not answered her.
Nathan felt an overwhelming blast that burdened his shoulders, forcing him to bow down. Understanding it was way beyond his comprehension. He treated it as a natural phenomenon.
