If It Tastes Like Honey, then It Must Be Sweet
The order ruptures when Queen Helena Joyce births a Drone with a stinger, an impossible figure whose existence feels less like miracle than omen. After a Drone expulsion, three Workers are set into motion to find him before fear becomes doctrine and doctrine becomes collapse. Nic Darling and Stephanie Gerrard move through a world of caste, instinct, and ceremonial power, chasing a life the Hive cannot decide whether to worship, punish, or erase.

In a sacred Hive a Queen births a Drone with a stinger. After a Drone expulsion, three Workers set out to find him before the Colony collapses.
The first field note describes a civilization where sweetness, caste, ritual, and obedience are nearly indistinguishable from desire. The search for the expelled Drone may become the event that cracks the Hive open from within.
Present figures: Nic Darling - Drone, Helena Joyce - Queen, Stephanie Gerrard - Heir.
Characters can arrive after the world frame, but this opening file should already make the universe feel governed, cinematic, and worth entering.
