    Each drone is a brain-cell of the collective brain, the Queen is the personality that eventually formed.

      Oh… that’s very interesting. Is that from the lore? Was it on purpose? It doesn’t matter bc either way it’s fascinating to think about how the “corruption” of the original purpose lead to the masses being controlled by a central figure with absolute authority.

      Or another way to say that is that their society itself evolved and adapted to face their external circumstances, but anyway somehow it always ends up with an elite cadre of illuminati-like figures on top, and everyone else is just an entirely disposable peon.

      Which makes me wonder now about whether the ocean of changelings themselves has things like “rulers”.
