You pick up the Predator Larvae and feed it Royal Jelly, then carry it with Yourself instead of letting the Nurse handle it. Queens are different. You periodically make certain noises and actions for no other reason than instinct, and the War Princess makes other noises back. You are beginning to sense the expansion of the Mind and the beginnings of a true network of Kai.
Next, You work on adding a Light Projectile Cannon atop the APC vehicles. The problem with such a scenario comes to You after the first attempt is test-fired and test-fired on: the weight distribution is terrible, the electric systems tend to shut off after the gun has been fired enough, and it is VERY hot and cramped in the back for Soldiers. You order the Soldiers off, and open fire on the vehicle as it clumsily maneuvers about the surface. It strikes a rock and flips over, and your EMG fire rapidly causes the ammunition to cook off. Well. At least it was a good first try. You never expected everything to work smoothly. Hell of a time for failure, though...
With this attempt done, You and the Predator Drone proceed outside with plenty of equipment and Drones to build jetpacks for it. You consider locations, and decide to put most of the jets underfoot, with a few on the sides for aerial maneuverability, and to base the controls on macros and nerve impulses from the Predator, and to power it with a series of heavily-armored batteries on the back. This attempt works considerably better - the Predator not only doesn't kill any Drones, but actively co-operates with Your attempts. After a long period of tinkering and adjusting, with individual and group firing of the jets, the Predator lowers its body, then leaps into the air, jets firing. You and the Predator both notice the extended flight time and aerial control - while the Predator will never be a air-to-air fighter, You would give it good odds against gunships and low-flying craft.
Lastly, You study the Pollen Fuel and isolate the specific compounds, then seek about ways of refining it for even greater power and efficiency. After a considerable amount of time on design, and creating an
incredibly crude, inefficient, but functional Portable Refinery, You and the Drones begin the work of building a full-scale refinery. After all, before much longer, We will be bringing in very nearly 70 Canisters per cycle, and the numbers will only increase.
After its construction, you process a Canister of Pollen Fuel, and receive two Canisters of Refined Fuel, roughly 75% or so of the actual Pollen. The rest of it is broken down into various chemicals and gases, most of which can be used as oil, to improve the fertilizer, and make various plastics and ceramics - very little goes to waste. It is rather... hot, though, so You and the Tech Drone work on a Thermoelectric System to go in place around the Refinery. The design of the material and its proper application takes the rest of the day, but the hard work pays off - it is
almost as easy as "peel and stick". Obviously, unlead Drones would have a problem doing it on their own, but while lead, they work quickly to not only connect the Refinery back into the power cycle, but most of the Lab.
Night falls.
