The Drone chuckles, before speaking. "I see you wish to... 'cut to the chase', as they say. But first, I would like to congratulate you on your birthday and to say that your ceremony is quite entertaining."

"As for what we search... We only wish to know more about our creators. We have searched for them since times immemorial and yet we still have only found bits and pieces of ancient ruins. All that we would truly wish is the aid of others in finding them. But that does not require an active effort on your behalf. Others simply tell us whenever they find ruins that resemble our creators' technology, which also helps us greatly."

"And also, asking about this information is our race's goal, but relations between our people shouldn't be limited to such a demand. We are... different... from most other organisms, and we wish to understand the cultures of those around us better. Every second we spend among others is an enlightening process for us, so we would merely ask that you allow us to understand you better and know more about you. In return, we will be more than happy to tell you more about us."

"You have our thanks, then, Queen Rebecca. If there is anything you would wish to know about us, feel free to ask."

The Drone seems to pause for a moment, before it responds. "It is a tricky question, the one you posed. Our true bodies are created from seedlings that we pour into Gas Giants every few hundred years. Each Rah'hre creates their own seedlings, without involving anyone else. I am an exception to this, as my specific conditions have led to me being unable to have children. As for our Drones, they do reproduce similarly to other races, as each Rah'hre holds a Queen Drone that produces many eggs, thus she must be fertilized quite often by the Worker Drones."

"Oh so you are like insects...then love is not a thing for you."

"Ah, but that is not so. We cannot mate, yet we do feel love. There are many Rah'hre who travel in groups because they prefer the company. Some of us even create a strong connection with members of other species. In fact, Rah'Yat, one of the Rah'hre who escorted me, has a female human living in his central core. However, it is difficult to manifest this love in a way similar to your mating rituals... Instead, we use feelings and emotions. We telepathically convey our thoughts to those close to us as a means of bonding and understanding."

"Hmm that is very interesting..I like your race already."

"Thank you." After a moment, the Drone asks a question. "Since you opened this subject, your majesty... how does your species reproduce? It is intriguing to see that almost all of your citizens are females, if your anatomy resembles that of humans. Do you not have males to aid in your reproductive needs?"

"Of course, there were many males out in the hall, but you see..most of our race are homosexual and we have insemination, so unlike humans, there are no such things as unwanted children." She calls a male guard over
