It took three weeks for a messenger to travel close enough to send a telepathic message toward Hive Supremo. A week later than in my most optimistic predictions, an infinite amount of weeks sooner than in my most pessimistic.
The message sent by Malevolence was long and detailed.
Some of it belonged to the crew of the Dragon-Bee, who wanted to share the exciting news of their journey.
As per one of our plans, the entire plane was put on a trade ship, together with its entire crew, to be delivered back to our continent by sea. The trade ships built by humans and modernised by bees were large enough for a plane of Dragon-Bee's size, although it took a lot of its cargo capacity.
The crew told a story about how they had to steer the Dragon-Bee through fog, storms and even a flock of hungry dragons to reach the shores of the Ashida continent, and how they broke a landing wheel during the landing.
