The hivemind is conquering for me?

The look of shock on Mindy\'s face was a sight to behold as she realised she had been missing out for over 10 years. She had more follow up questions for the uninhibited new friend in front of her, but he crouched and clenched his fist to indicate a stop to all sound.

Mindy took a knee beside me and aimed her gun out in front of her. "I can here the beasts up ahead, another 12 from the individual breathing patterns. "I can\'t hear anything." Mindy responded. "Just trust my armour." I said throwing its capabilities up to compensate for my augmentations.

"12 though, we should call for backup." "Nah, 12 are manageable." I replied in a neutral tone. "Manageable? You only just managed to hold out with 5 earlier, no one else could have done that here." Mindy did not seem mad, more concerned for my and her wellbeing.

"You don\'t know something." I paused a second for the cool factor. "Earlier I was just training myself against the big Dino\'s. I did not even use my gun except on the retreating one. Now they will be killed in a matter of seconds."

We pushed forward to a clearing that had a surprise awaiting us. Light! embedded into the ceiling, crystals of light were beaming down onto the ground illuminating the before very dark underground space. These crystals must have had some unique properties as it allowed vegetation like grass and shrubs to grow here.

\'I should get some of them for home. It would be nice to lay on a bed of actual grass while making love to Jewel.\' I thought before focusing my attention back onto the creatures. As I thought, there were twelve of them in the area.

I was glad there were no children or eggs nearby meaning that by killing these dozen, I would not be bringing the race to extinction, thats the hives job in the relationship.

Turning to Mindy I relayed. "You stay here and watch my back. Ill get close enough to cause a distraction so they all swarm me. That will make it easier for my minigun to clear them out." Mindy just nodded her head. She was more than glad to hand back as these things were taller than her and looked much more scary and large while alive.

Being the co captain of a mercenary company, Mindy had a top of the line weapon. She had a Spartari plasma rifle. It fired semi-automatically and had lower range than a laser rifle would, but the power in each shot was no joke and could do serious damage to my suit with sustained fire just like my minigun. She took point in a crouched position and nodded at me to advance.

It took twenty seconds for the pack of Dino\'s to spot me. They were beasts through and through as they packed together before stampeding towards me. At around 10 meters away, they were all still clumped together and had not begun to circle me yet like the others from earlier. This was fine by me as I raised my minigun and blue projectiles ripped through the air at incredible speeds.

the molten projectiles ripped through the front 6 off the pack before they even had a chance to react, while the rest, now seeing to damage began to scatter.

Four darted off to the right, while two went left. I aimed my gun left, shredding one of the Dino\'s and gut shotting another before turning my attention to the last four. They were disorganised and in a state of panic so to save on the gas my gun uses for plasma, I switched out to Zircon, who was radiating good feelings through the bondage link after having her fill of blood sport after so long.

The Dino\'s did not put up much of a fight as I killed them one by one. The panic from the death of their packmates, the loud noise of the gun and their flight or fight response make their ends swift.

With my back purposely exposed, I crouched down next to one of the dead Dino\'s and began inspecting it. It was then, The Dino I gut shotted emerged from a nearby blind spot and beelined towards me with minimal sound.

I stayed crouched, pretending to not hear it while I waited. The Dino was almost in distance to lunge for a bite when a shot went off to its left and everything went dark. Looking to my right, Mindy took a very well done shot and the Dino\'s body comically skidded until its head was at my feet.

"Nice shot." I said as we walked over to each other. "Thanks, I\'ve always been a crack shot." She said with a beaming smile. "Still though." she said as she looked around. "I suppose you don\'t need to be a good shot with the rpm of that bad boy. By the way, what are you using as your plasma source? I have never seen a blue fuel before, Only standard pink."

" Ah yes, you are using hydrogen correct? That is pretty common for plasma. I\'m using a special blend of xenon and a special ingredient I am not telling that make it the shade of blue it is." I replied causing Mindy\'s eyebrows to raise. "Xenon? Fuck me someone is rich, to use that much so freely, you must be swimming in credz."

I smiled at Mindy\'s reaction. \'It\'s not so much as I\'m rich, more the fact that The hive has more of it that it could ever need.\'

Our little skirmish seemed to draw the attention of some nearby teams who rushed to investigate. Dolan, the Tuarox leader, walked over and whistled. "Wow, it looks like a warzone in here. Should have called us over first, this place has been a bore. Hey Mindy, how\'s life with the new boy toy?" He asked as he nodded in my direction.

"Well as you can tell from all the minigun holes everywhere, quite exciting." She retorted making Dolan laugh.

"So, did any squad find anything?" I asked. Dolan turned to me showing a frown for some reason. "Nah, place is a bust, rest of the squads are rendezvousing at the entrance, Although this room looks quite interesting. Boys, harvest some of these weird crystals before we leave, they could be worth something."

The squads behind Dolan began doing just that, I followed suit as I wanted a few of them as well. With a Bags full of light crystals, and pulling another Dino carcass in my case, we made our way back to the entrance.

Every other group was now waiting for us and once Paul spotted us he said. "Oh there you lot are, I assume by the body you are pulling behind you, more of those creatures turned up?" "Yea, but nothing Mindy and I could not handle." I said nudging her playfully with my elbow.

"Right then, Attention! This place was a bust, Everyone a few at a time make it up the ladder. Apollo, we will get a crane for you and your kills. That is all, lets move."

I felt fine with the outcome Paul had decided on. I was initially planning on moving the big fuckers up and down one by one with my Gyrokinesis taking all the weight and say that the rope ladder must be stupidly strong, but this works fine as well.

I walk over to my corpse pile and create a makeshift seat for myself once more as I wait. Mindy walked over to me and sat on the ground nearby, not nearly as comfortable sitting on dead animals as I was. "Hey Mindy, what\'s up?" I asked. "I\'m not going to let my new friend wait on his own." She replied with a smile so pretty that it caught me off guard and made my heart flutter a little.

"OK, I won\'t chase you off if you wish to stay, but if you smile like that at me again, I may get hard so fair warning." Mindy chocked on her own saliva at that comment, totally unexpected. That being said, her new friend was incredibly open and may have just said what many men only think.

"Sure, I promise." She said covering her mouth this time as she began to smile once more.

It took an hour for the crane to get into place. Well I say crane, but it was actually one of the Tuarox\'s fighter ships that had a heavy duty metal cable clamped underneath hovering in the air as it lowered and raised its altitude.

Once out of the hole and all my loot stored in ice, I turned to Mindy and asked.

"Would you like to join Kat and I for Dinner?"
