A Last Resort

The moment Tia injected the truth serum into Terminus' bloodstream, her eyes grew wide, and her pupils turned blank as she entered a trancelike state. However, it was not only she who was affected by the truth serum. But it had gone so far as to traverse the galaxy and infect the minds of every member of her species within the hive fleet she originated from. 

Or would have done so, if the Hive Queen who had given birth to terminus nearly two decades ago, didn't sense that something was wrong, and immediately disconnect her affected children from the Hive Mind leaving them in a state of complete and utter abandonment. When the Hive Queen realized what had happened, she could not help but exclaim her shock aloud.
