A Brief Introduction

For me to tell you the chronicle of my life, I must start at the beginning.

To elaborate on how I got to the point I am now at, in what you would call Life, and I would call Service, you must understand. You must understand that I am unlike anything that has ever existed in the past two or three thousand years. I am new, yet I am old. I am a changeling. Like my brothers and sisters, I serve my beloved Queen. Yet I... I am different.

None of my born with me siblings were born like me. But there were other like me in the past, the ones like me that were in Service to the Queen those two or three thousand years ago. We are together in the difference. That is that they were different from their brothers and sisters then the same way I am different from my brothers and sisters now. My Queen made us different back in the before times. She did not make us better, we have weakness, but unlike the remaining siblings, we did not have the Link.

WE do not share in the Link. The Link is what lets my brothers “speak” to each other, it connects them all in some way. The brothers and sisters around me have no real voice. Yet they communicate perfectly, through the Link. This Link also allow my Queen to issue orders and commands without a word. It ties all of her children together.

The books of the Bad Place call it the Hivemind. But I should not speak of that place, or of what it says to me. My Queen has given me an order.

But before I can carry her order out, I must make you understand.

This is the story of my Service, what you want to call Life.
