Here lies a husk, adrift on the solar tide.
Six minds unshared, in darkness they hide.
'Lost', they tell us. Yet this we know.
We could sense their fear as our fury did grow.
Once there were six. Now there are five.
Another mind, to add to the hive.
Soon to return, with a prize we've sought.
To make a bargain that they regret they bought.
'As but a droplet into the sea, this is how we came to be.
Now the ripples spread forth and so shall we.'
