THE ORIGIN OF MADNESS"We understand, my Queen. If there's anything that we can do to expose them to different cultures and such, we will always be right here. You are welcome in our territory anytime you want, I will personally sent a message to our planetary base in that Havenworld so you can enter with full authority." Zeifruge said, agreeing with the Zagara's statement. He was glad to know that Queen was pleased with the news about the insectoid natives on the planet. "No worries, compared to that species you said was barbaric, this is nice bunch of folks. Their enthusiasm and scientific curiosity, though at a tribal stage is quite impressive, which made us appear and interact with them even though commonly we don't deal with species under this tech level to let them grow and prosper on their own. They are worthy of uplifting and assimilation, and we would be really glad to see them having a semi-autonomous control over their species, making them vassals if possible. Regarding their reintegration, well that's a very good question. Well, personally speaking, it doesn't matter whether they need to be relocated from their current location or would stay there. As long as they are not hostile towards us, and be of help instead of a hassle, we will be glad let them have autonomy over their area. To be specific, we're only setting up a single forward base on one of the planets so that they won't get disturbed as much as we can, since we have verified they are indeed of tribal sentience. No worries, under our own territory, lest assure that they'll have their own right and freedom in their land and we would still be happy to set them under our guidance. We already consider them to be a protectorate species, so them staying on our territory is not an issue here. We can have their planet as your personal embassy if you wish together with their consent. They are quite an adventurous and intelligent race, the second in both terms to our leading protectorate." Zeifruge said as he assured the Formic monarch of their distant kin's safety within the Hegemony's reaches.
Lidzrial appreciated the sisters' enthusiasm about their technology and handled blueprints to them to let them build prototypes or basic structures under their own architectural designs. Scientists observing and studying the Kriths took note of the important information and aspects about the peculiar species.
-Fields of Rith'Essa-
The soldiers are reached the height of their training. As the training advances and their challenges get more gruesome, evidences of psionic strain begin to build up on the Diyelian soldiers. The symptoms become more prevalent as each training days pass by, and extensive notes and observations are meticulously recorded in full detail. Their primal urges and territorial instincts were unleashed at quick and almost uncontrollable pace, and a growing number of Diyelian soldiers are succumbing to it faster than those who are able to handle it properly. As the Nuzeikurgans now separated them in groups between those who can advance and those who still needs to control it and especially the soldiers who needs constant and strict monitoring due to the overwhelming and destructive effect of the psionic awakening on their primal hormones. Based on the latest findings, the psionic force stimulates a strong effect on their hormonal glands, especially the glands that secrete their "fight or flight" hormones, causing their agitation and aggressiveness in response to territorial disturbances. It is observe that the more they feel strong emotions, the more that the symptoms are triggered. As the Diyelians are naturally expressive and has a culture of intense nationalism, patriotic fervor and freedom of expression, which often prompts them to subdue to their emotions, this is a rather surprising and frustrating downside. Managing and controlling their emotions is almost an alien thing to begin with, so further suppressing that would be tantamount to suppressing their right and freedom of expression. Some Diyelians, most notably those who are fanatically devoted are being documented to fully subjugating to their urges while trying to resist the psionic shock to the best of their ability, often ending with them passing out and remain unconscious for a minimum of a few hours to a maximum of two days. There are also emerging scenarios of soldiers not able to control their psionics who are already going on a bloodrage and feral rampage, with the need to be pacified with hormone suppresant. The effect of the psionic awakening is just too much to bear for most them, and it's just their sheer will and nationalistic fervor that keeps them standing in the midst of unbearable pain of the training.
Those soldiers who are able to successfully pass the first trial ascended to the next set of tests under the tutelage of the prime Brood Father himself. They carefully followed the guidelines set up by Duramir, and the soldiers under him were deeply impressed at the natural feats of the Brood Fathers and male formics, envying their all-organic superiority. However, they became excited about the thought of highest honor that they can have once they pass the test. Respect and honor are valuable to the Diyelian people and are treasured that much, so getting that from the highest Nuzeikurgan leader would really boost their pride. The challenge was returned with utmost enthusiasm from the group.
"That will be very helpful as we can get the maximum nutrition while the whole metamorphic process is ongoing. That's a clever idea, I highly approve of that!" Zeifruge said, agreeing with Vyloth. "Oh, that's interesting. We'll be happy to provide samples of the virus. Just try to be careful because that virus is highly virulent and would try to destroy any organism that it came contact with. And no worries, we can perfectly handle that. But anyway thanks for the information." he added.
