During its descent, the Hive ships were shot by ships and anti air guns considerably, The decades old, run down and sick ship was shot so much so that almost all the drones inside had been killed. All except one fragment that had been shot off the main ship and begun to freefall towards a forest, right into a particular clearing.
As the drones began getting closer to the ground, They could feel Apollo's presence on the planet thanks to the agitators, normally the drones, being male, would not get overly excited like the rest of the hive any only enjoy it if Apollo gave them pats or something similar.
Can you see why Onyx cant appear on homeworld anymore and has to stay in Apollo's head? Shes a walking catastrophe waiting to happen. (Also the Psionic energy of her aura helps the drones create the new body, not just biomass)
Creation is hard, cheer me up!
