On that day, the Bee Empire entered a new wave of expansion, larger than the ones we had before.
Humans, despite my fears, didn't try to act out again. The gifts of gold must've been more than valuable to calm people down and make them eager to trade more.
I couldn't be there, watching their every move, so I passed this to Explanatory, who was studying humans anyway. B568-114 took a semi-permanent position under Explanatory's wing. There, she was going to learn how to sneak around Commando-style, and then spy on humans and their thoughts, while also transferring my trade requests.
She also finally chose herself a name, which she proudly announced when I came to see her off.
"I liked to make beasts listen to me, but it feels better, more right, to carry other's voices. It's hard to have my own voice—I don't want it. I'd rather be Carries-Voices instead, and I hope this will stay with Researcher Explanatory."
