《A ragbag of stories, don't expect them to end.》Vessel Part 1.
Advertisement
We live in a collective mind of thousands, when needed, we act as one, but generally we act independent. Only as long as our hive is safe and our actions won't harm it. In the known multiverse we are called simply "Vessels". Unlike other sentient machines, we still have emotions and won't shy away from going out getting intoxicated with pleasure. Even though we don't need to eat or drink, we still do it. On one hand as a sort of small pleasure in our immortal lives, on the other hand as a sort of bridge to the 'Biological' races.
Nothing is stranger than being in a bar talking about a contract when the partner is just looking and not even flinching on all the good food that is brought for him.
Some call us envoys of knowledge, due to our feverish search for historical artifacts and their archaeological places. When a race has no real history, they will search for something to fill this gap. That is why even if someone has money and wants our help, he may be declined by a Hive Core.
Others call us Avatars of Carnage, mostly because Kaar'nak our security chef personally destroyed a armada with his ship and some 'children'. We never attack first, but we are always those that end it. Everyone knows not to anger the sleeping dragon, especially if it concerns his home.
Unlike others, we cannot reproduce with our own kin. We have full control over the genetic code we create to reproduce, this is a blessing and a curse in one. A blessing because our children even if fully biological, will rarely have physical problems. A curse, because if we reproduce among our kin, the children that will appear will be biologically perfect, and always female, as their genetic code is more stable and cleaner.

This has a big draw back, even if the personalities may be different from child to child, their physical form will make them into a collective mind of their own, what could corrupt them and send them on a amok run. A simple reason why our kin's first rule to reproduction is to either search love out of the hive, or search for donors to make sure that the genetic code won't end up being to clean and similar.
We do not stop love, but we make sure that the Hive will never suffer through the action of a individual. Cities that harbor a small group of 'Vessels' are known for their high security, due to the simple fact that 'vessels' are Law abiding as long as it follows their Hive Mind morality. In other words, we will even live in a dictatorship as long as the system doesn't start to torture citizen on the street and enslave children.
When the 'Vessels' weren't that feared and well known in the underworld, an inter dimensional crime syndicate took a clean and crime free city on a world as a perfect place to capture children and enslave them. Not only invaded they a city under the protection of a newly established Hive Core, but they also kidnapped at least 15 children of the Hive Core. Only one hour after the children went missing, the whole syndicate was under attack of Hive Cores. Even already established Hive Cores that already upgraded to Hive Worlds used their manpower to hunt and destroy them.
All children were back with their families after only 3 hours, and after 12 hours the syndicate was destroyed by the whole might of the 'Vessels'. The balance of power in the underworld was destroyed and the syndicates had to fight for their life. This was the first and the last act of the underworld against a 'Vessel' Hive Core and the cities they reside in.

There are still people that wish to have a 'Vessel' slave. Sometimes they also manage to get their hand on one, those individuals are those that spread their wings and left their Hive family and began their path to transcendence. They go where the stellar wind take them, even if they are alone, the hive never leaves them. Should they ever need help the Hive will gather.
Individuality also means a free will with free thoughts. Even if the hive can work as one, feuds and disparities between families may exist. Not based on appearance or money, but on worldview and how to act.

Omnipocalypse Monsters(Shelved Timeline)
System Edit: This timeline has been shelved, but the adventures of the Omegas and her kids will continue in the next System Update Timeline with additional foes and challenges early on to guide the Omegas into a less destructive path of protection.The Omnipocalypse was every apocalypse humans ever imagined all happening at once, zombies, plagues, nukes, EMPs, Robot uprisings. Not just the earth either, It happened to every World ever dreamed up by men too: heaven, hell, and every other afterlife or spirit world ended, plus the worlds of books and stories bled into reality. It all broke apart and either; became new places on the chaotic Earth or part of the even messier spirit world. Magic beasts mutated by radiation, Robots mastering Magic, the mixture of everything made the horrors... well, more horrible. Omega; A young Woman with few memories wakes to find she has spent 2500 years in stasis, in a basement of scientific horrors. Creatures and Things that could supposedly destroy the world if ever let free. Horrors of which she was the last to get free. Rather then Quest for world domination or destruction; Omega keeps getting drawn into a protective role over other orphans, lost monsters, and broken AIs. So she decides to build something to help all her little monster family be safe. -------This story is meant to be a behind the scenes look at stories about kids solving problems that should be beyond them. I always wanted to see a story about Professor Oak, Dumbledore, or any other mentor who trains the main characters. I like the idea of someone looking at the apocalyptic world and deciding to make it safe enough that a small child can wander off and make some monster their pet. The pokemon games have fun systems to consider the behind the scenes workings of, like what training a team rocket member goes through to become a villain cut out for children to defeat. how they prevent a deific pokemon from accidentally murdering some little rat with its immense psionic power. However, the story itself is not really meant to be a pokemon parody, I draw inspiration from every genre of fiction, any type of game, this story is the only one I plan of ever writing without a clear cut ending planned, I love the infinite storytelling capacity of things like Doctor who's TARDIS, the Stargate or Rick's portal gun. In this case, I wanted the setting itself to be one where any and every story might happen. Cover Image by kalli gruen from Pixabay Discord Image by Digital Photo and Design DigiPD.com from Pixabay

This is the story of a man who is named Azeal. Losing everything he was, he reverts to being a child. Yet, the world he lives in is not kind. It a dark world filled with death and destruction.
