章 257: The Beginning of the End

I would like to say that the female in front of me did something, had some sort of reaction to my words, but with the face-covering she was wearing, I had absolutely no idea. But I refused to squirm.

"You seem to know what we want," said the Hive queen. I tried to study what her command bridge looked like, or even to see anything other than her on the screen, but everything was blurry. Only the figure in the white dress was clear.

"I think everyone wants a home," I replied coldly with a shrug of my shoulders. Once again, fake it till you make it. "And I think yours was ripped away from you."

"We are managing just fine," came the translated words.
