The hivemind is conquering for me?-Chapter 379: Crazy and Milkshakes

The building sized swarm entity made Gabrielle's entire being shudder upon witnessing it. Her instincts screamed she could not win against such a monster on her own. The Video then kept cutting in and out as the thing kept getting closer to the Seer. Until.

Gabrielle's eyes went wide and her hands shaky. She had become familiar with that armour. She had a picture of it in her breast pocket for easy identification after all. "No. No, no, no, no, no, no..."

"Just keep watching." Hugo said, before lifting his empty drink towards Ron. Gabrielle watched as her baby seemed to talk to the Seer and she had a murderous look in her eyes. That Seer. She could tell just from her eyes that she was a skank. She could not be trusted around her baby.

Apollo then turned around and pointed his weapon at the large entity, causing Gabrielle's entire body to freeze up as she watched him approach. She was so focused on her boy that she did not notice the large entity again, backing up at her son's fire fuelled presence, until he had jumped at the things face.

Gabrielle felt a knot in her stomach until the next scene played of her baby bashing the skull of the seemingly dead creature before the recording cut out. Hugo then picked up the recording and placed it back in his pocket, both so Gabrielle wouldn't klep it and Ron had just arrived with another round of milkshakes.

"Here You are, big lad." Ron said as he dropped a tray of five more milkshakes in front of Hugo, causing his brain to rush with dopamine and his heart to cry out in fear. "And for the miss, on the house." Ron said as he put a purple shake in front of her that matched her hair.

Gabrielle said nothing to the man and looked directly ahead at Hugo, needing answers. "Thanks Ron." He said, causing the elderly man to walk off, muttering about crazy ladies as he did so.

Once the old man was out of ear shot, Gabrielle spoke in a hushed impatience. "Hugo what the fuck was that? How did he beat that thing and why was my baby fighting with Coalition trash?" Hugo drained another milkshake in front of him before replying.

"We are not sure on the details, but this is what we have gotten. Apparently the swarm attacked a planet in the galactic north, but the Seer predicted where they were going to attack and created a fortress world to defend. Only this fleet of the swarm was more powerful and anomalous than what we have ever faced and was eventually overrun. The recording I just showed you was towards the very end of the defence before they evacuated the planet and from our reports, nobody in the Coalition knew about your son being there."

Gabrielle let out a breath of relief that her son was not a traitor. She did not think she would be accepted into the coalition if she ran off to find her baby after all. She has killed one too many generals for that. However, what Hugo said next made her heart palpitate.

"We have received reports through multiple contacts that the Coalition is looking for any information regarding Archon Apollo Lambdason and his teacher and those that come forward with information will be heavily rewarded. The chatter is that this order came from the Seer. The same woman in the video."

Gabrielle became silent, causing growing unease within Hugo. The changes in Gabrielle since finding out about her Son had really scared him. She had become even more unpredictable, but less in a crazy way and more in a cold terrifying way.

To give Gabrielle some good news, Hugo spoke. "The good news is that since the Coalition clearly has zero idea who your son is, it means we don't have to brand him a traitor. A- "You are damn right you aren't branding him a traitor you fuck!" Gabrielle yelled, causing some other patrons to look over and Ron to mumble something once more about crazy bitches.

"We can also say that since Apollo was in the outer rim, he was simply conducting a raid of enemy space before coming across the planet. We are aware he has a history with the swarm and hates them with a passion. It makes sense he could see past the evilness of the Coalition for a moment to deal with his 'true' enemy."

Gabrielle stayed silent for a moment as she thought for a moment. She began to mimic Hugo and placed the straw of her shake into her mouth. After taking a few sips, she pulled back the drink to look at it. "Fuck me, that is good. No wonder your fat ass has drank eleven of them already. Now, what was this about a teacher?"

'My Ass is not fat! I'm just kind of big boned.' Hugo said to himself, being the first person in history where that logic actually applied before replying. "Yes, we aren't too sure about that. We think that information came up when the two were speaking in the recording. Apollo must have let something slip about his presence being there. We have absolutely nothing on this teacher of his however, do you have anything? I am aware you have spoken to one of your sons' paramours on Ecumenopolis 4 correct? Did she have anything useful for our search?"

Gabrielle contemplated a moment. She did know about this Jewel woman and a secret society of Psionic users. But if this information got out and they somehow found out. They could turn Apollo against her for betraying their trust.

The thought sent goosebumps across her whole body. Gabrielle looked at Hugo. Her teacher, her carer, her therapist, her friend and father figure. A few months ago, she would have done anything for this man. She would have spoken in an instant. Trust? She had no need for it... But now.

"Sorry Hugo, I have nothing." She said, causing Hugo to sigh. "That's ok Gabs, I knew it was a long shot. Look, you shouldn't linger on the Euc for too long. However, while you are here, I was wondering if you could do me a personal favour? It involves going to the palace.

Gabrielle raised her eyebrow, Hugo doesn't ask for favours much, so it must be important. She did not have enough information to track her baby down anyway, so she could put off talking to the fuckwit on Euc 3.

"What do you need?
