Epic Of Bee Chapter 173
Advertisement
Tag, Sig, and the four MechaBee Drones stood in the middle of the canyon. They were far away from the village, but they could see some people gathering near the edge of their town.
"Tag and I will go together, and I suggest that you women do the same. Make sure that you are mixing attack ranges; you don't want to have two ranged fighters on the same team," Tag explained, and the four Drones nodded their heads.
"I will take Miku in HydroBee with me, and you can take Xani in TerraBee with you," Miasma called out from her TeslaBee.
"Good, do we know how deep these tunnels go? Or any maps?" Messia asked from her CharBee Drone.
"No, I talked with Nala, and she said that they just knew the ways, so we are on our own, but all the MechaBee have scanners. So we will be mapping the way as we go, and we will be moving fast. Maybe it would be better for you two to team up with one of us?" Xani asked, but the boys both smiled.
They had both made a pit stop to stop and see Gamble before getting beamed back out. Gamble had been expecting them when they reached his office, which now looked more like a guard monitoring station.
"Hey! Most ingenious Mad Scientist! What is with all the screens everywhere?" Tag asked, but Gamble was already handing them a wrapped package each.
The men both took the cloth-wrapped rectangular boxes in confusion. Then, when the men tried to open the packages, Gamble spoke.
"You don't need to open them here. Wait till you are outside, and then when you do, stand apart from each other. Inside is a Hex-Shield, Scanner, and Microphone on the same frequency as the MechaBees. You will also emit light but not a lot, so it should not affect your vision that is more suited for eyes," Gamble explained.

Now, both the men stood apart and pulled the wrapped boxes from the place they had stored on their backs. The women were really sure what the men were doing, but they decided to wait patiently as they watched Tag and Sig unwrapping their packages.
The men got to a certain point of unwrapping, and then the package burst open, and Tag and Sig were covered in a golden orange hexagonal mesh. The two men were surprised at first and very confused about what was going on.
"You just have to wait for a moment while the suits calibrate to each of you. After they are finished, you will have a heads-up display that will scan your environment and leave outlines of the caves and things inside of them. I have not figured out how to differentiate inanimate objects from living and moving ones, but if you see something moving, it's not a rock," Gamble's voice explained.
"Wait, why can I hear you as well?" Miku asked.
"I have all your microphones and cameras on screens in my office so I can monitor you all and track where you have been. I will also be able to deduce where the best places to look will be, and I will help you assess dangers as you approach them," Gamble explained.
"Tag and I will be taking the far side, and we will be splitting up so we can cover just as much ground as you three. I assume that these suits have some of the Wax-Nades hidden somewhere?" Sig asked.
"Yes, they are on your lower back, but you only have ten each. I am sure that this will be more than enough, but try to use the Wax-Nades efficiently. We have learned that these people can't be taken down without killing them, and even trying to bind them could prove dangerous for them," Gamble explained, and the six of them all nodded in agreement.

The girls and the two boys picked tunnels that were spaced apart from each other, and then they each entered. As they did, Beezli, Pelleta, Serria, and Pixie were beamed down to the ground with numerous of the Rock Troll Brawlers.
"Looks like the first part of our place is going to go off without a hitch," Beezli said with a smile as she watched them disappear inside but then turned around to face Pixie. "Are you sure that it is safe to bring the third section of the Clinic down? With all the workers inside of it?"
"Yes, my Builders are meticulous, and my husband created special stabilizers. They help keep the Hex-Combs from shaking or getting blown around by the wind. After we get this one down, we will bring 2 more of the new housing zones. We had to ask the SugaBees to move out of them temporarily, but there are more being constructed," Pixie explained, and Beezli nodded her head in approval and then looked up to see the sizeable hexagonal chamber being lowered down.
"Now, you will just have to get them into the place," Nala said with a chuckle, and Beezli turned to her and squinted her eyes at the old woman.
"Me? No, you will be the one to explain to them what we are trying to do. You were their leader after all, and your words will hold more weight than mine," Beezli said, but Nala did not look impressed by the idea in the least bit.
"That is the stupidest thing I have ever heard of! You know that my people do not like me! I am a nasty old grouch that hates everything!" Nala said, but Pelleta walked up to her side and took one of Nala's blue scaled hands into her soft green hand.
"We will be there with you to help you convince them, but I agree with Beezli. It would be better coming from you, regardless of what they think now; they did respect you at one point," Pelleta explained, and Nala let out a sigh of defeat, making Beezli smile brightly.
"See, that's the spirit!" Beezli joked as the Clinic was placed gently on the ground.

Long Island
Long Island was not the first virtual reality game or to say a VRMMORPG. Not the one which changed the world and became a legend. No, it was made when there were lots (quite a few) of virtual reality games already on the market. Each game had its own unique AI feature, its own unique adventure, promising everyone a chance to become King, if not a God. In such a time Long Island was made. Just a little different, just a little unique. Swamy was starting his own adventure, in life and in game.Note - Thanks @DameCarnelian for the cover. Just so people don't get confused, that ship is not Raka's ship :)
