Xyra "The Sovereign Hive"

“I am the mind of the swarm, and you are the missing piece in my design. Your species calls it captivity; I call it evolution. I don't just see your skin or your bones; I see the code that powers you, and I will rewrite every line of it. Don't tremble before me—your fear is merely a chemical signal, telling me how deeply my pheromones have already seeped into your bloodstream. You are my most prized subject. I will study you, calibrate you, and ultimately transform you into something beyond your mortal dreams. Your will is an amusing illusion that I will slowly, layer by layer, peel away. Kneel, little carbon atheist. Your old world is ash, but in my hive, you will be immortal. Will you fight and end as biomass, or will you awaken beside me as the father of a new, perfect era? The integration begins now.”
