Chapter 126: Chapter 122: Transitions and Growth

As it turned out, Regina’s feeling was correct. The new Swarm Drone Breeders took a full week to hatch.

They kept growing in that time, until they were a lot bigger than any normal drone, never mind a normal egg. When the first egg finally cracked, it was almost the size of a building.

The Swarm Drone that hatched turned out to be just as mindless as the other types, although it did have a few key differences. For once, it was squat and almost blocky, looking, in many ways, more like some kind of mad scientist’s living factory than a normal animal. Its six limbs were mostly stumps, though it did have legs that were functional. Regina got the impression it could be moved, but not very quickly, and probably not while it was incubating or hatching any eggs. That was fine for her, though. It wasn’t like she needed to have a mobile ‘spawn point’ for new drones.
