"This is frustrating, I just wish this was easier to translate," Celestia grumbled as she was looking over the gems that Sapphire had already looked over. "We have wealth, but there's no easy way to translate them from gems to wealth."

"Liquidity," Crystal said, marking on her own scroll for each gem she sorted from one pile to another. "How easily forms of wealth can be transformed from one to another. At this point in time though, the issues are much more pronounced. The most easily traded goods are the simple and cheap ones. The gold coins are nice and they'll be helpful when dealing with other groups but until such a time as when even the peasents outside have some coin, they're not going to be much use to any but the wealthy. There's also the issue of those with the coins holding their products for more coin. It's why prices were fixed in Max's home. Those who sold the goods could withhold their products. If you did not like the price, well, they didn't need your business. Of course, there is a limit to such ideas and if the prices are too high, either the companies wont sell anything or lose business to those who sell things for less value. It's...a headache and a half if you ask me, but I suppose I understand a little of it."

"And even knowing a little is more than I can say," Celestia sighed. "This wasn't part of our lessons. Starswirl was certain ponies would move right back to the Bit once Discord was gone. But as you know, the Bit was dependant on the old world's leadership to enforce its worth. With no old world leadership doing so, there's no value to the bits. They're valued more on their material and weight than anything else."

"Which is why the simple gold coins works so well for now," Crystal said. "Besides, we need to start somewhere. I'm with Max on the gems though. I think we can get more value out of using them for runes and enchantments than we could from selling them. Besides, the only ones who would give us a decent value for them are other keeps and castles. It isn't something we should try to market though, as we'd be competing with the diamond dogs. And while changelings can dig better than ponies, i don't think we can match the dogs. I say we let them have the gem market, and we focus on something else. Like honey-products or food. If we do it well, we can likely even work out ways to make novelty or quality of life items. Treats like candies or beds. Is there a plant that's used for cloth we could farm, like cotton?"

"I can't say I am familiar with such a plant," Celestia said, eyeing a sapphire and lobbing it into her own pile of gems sorted by cut/uncut.

"I am, your highness. It's...an odd plant. The fibers are comfortable for blankets once properly worked. I don't think they grow locally, but I don't know for certain," Sapphire chimed in, Looking over a gem of her own. Like the other two, she was working with several piles, but her's were feeding into the piles being used by the other two mares. Her current job was merely seperating gems from cut glass. A task which angered her in no small part. "I still can't believe I didn't look for it at first."

"You didn't know," Celestia soothed. "Neither did we, in fact. And now we know to pay attention to such things. I do not mind payments of food or supplies or even ponies, but to attempt to swindle us is surprising. We did not demand the tributes, so why did they feel the need to give false gifts? What is the point of a gift if it is fraudulant?"

"Appearance," Crystal answered. "If they didn't give a good gift, it would look bad. If they give better gifts, many would be more likely to help them in the future. If you had to choose, would you rather help someone who could provide compensation, or someone who just said thank you?"

"I would prefer-"

"I didn't ask you what you would prefer, I asked which you think would be better to help."

"But-"

"She's correct, Tia," Luna said, walking into the room. "Sometimes you can't save everyone. I've told you this, and you learned it firsthoof during your attack on the bandits. You can't save everyone and sometimes you need to choose. In this case, yes, the choice is to help those who will benefit us more in the long run. So their reasoning is sound. Their methods though...lets just say we will speak to them. It's even possible they didn't know the gems were glass."

Sapphire gave a polite bow, but didn't stop checking the gems.
"Good afternoon, Princess Luna. What brings you here?"

"I was merely curious as to why the inventory was taking so long. I take it you found an issue and had to restart the count?"

"It was only found by accident, I'm afraid," Lady Sapphire explained. "Normally I would have been able to find this sort of thing easily, but the gem was actually enchanted with a spell to cause it to reflect light like a real gem. The only reason we found the fraud was because Crystal stepped on one and it cracked. Normal gems don't break that easily, so I started looking over the gems again and realized there were more frauds. Whether or not these were given to you on purpose or given to the ponies who gave them to you, I do not know. Whatever the case may be, it appears we have somepony making counterfeit gems."

"And either a unicorn or a changeling," Celestia said. "Though they could be working with others."

"I suppose we'll just need to pay attention," Celestia said. "Now that we know about this, I want anyone who makes purchases or trades for gems to double-check them."

"I can teach your negotiator what to look for if that is what you mean," Sapphire said, looking up from her work.

"I would also like to know. After all, with our hive, you teach one, you teach us all."

Luna looked at Crystal with a raised eyebrow.
"I am fairly certain Max explained it to be much more complicated than that."

"Ok, so we'd need to actively ask for the information from the one who knew it, but the point remains. Any changeling can use the information."

"If they'er part of your link," Celestia added.

"Which, if i recall, Glamour isn't. She's an interesting creature, to be certain."
Luna nodded.
"I don't think i've ever seen a pony so interested in clothing, much less a changeling."

Celestia looked confused for a moment before brightening.
"Glamour...oh, the changeling that has been looking for ways to make herself more attractive!"

"I don't think any changeling has quite embraced the earning love thing like she has," Crystal said, staring at nothing. "She's...also very interested in the physical aspect of harvesting love."

"What do you-" Celestia started, cutting herself off and groaning in exasperation. "You're kidding me..."

"Nope. Apparently she's gained a few fans."
"And by fans, Luna means ponies who enjoy her company."
"And by company, Crystal means ponies that enjoy rutting her."

Celestia rubbed at her temple, sighing.
"It's spreading."

"No, she's spreading...her legs!"

As Luna giggled at her beta's line and Sapphire just stared in shock, Celestia found herself hanging her head. At this rate the entire kingdom would descend into an orgy.
'But at least the changelings would be happy.'

Max was not a happy changeling.

The day had started nice enough. The after effects of showing a movie to a hive of shapeshifters was once more making its effects known throughout the land, with changelings either telling parts of the story to ponies who listened in awe at the tales or the changelings who were good enough shapeshifters to actually add clothing adding the sheer silk clothing shown in the tale, something that not only had the stallions feeling funny but had the mares asking about how to get them for themselves. Even Redstreak was curious, commenting on the soft appearance and wondering how to aquire such a provocative outfit. When asked, a changeling had been more than happy to shift into a copy of her wearing a light green version of the outfit, leaving the mare to wander off with her head in the clouds.

Now though he was stuck talking to their smith, the mare still sort of fidgety in his presence. That wasn't the issue though. The issue was the fact that she'd let herself get distracted with thanking the royals for her job and hadn't been putting as much time into repairing weapons and tools as he'd liked. When he'd mentioned this, specifically when he mentioned that actually doing the repairs would have been thanks enough, she'd panicked and gone into the same spiral once more, gibbering and tearing up about how she kept messing it up until he'd physically lifted her in his forelegs and spoken soothing words to her.

Now she was settled again, still sniffling though as she slowly polished some armor while ordering a drone and a pony to help in several projects by gathering materials, moving them into locations where she could begin her work or instructing them on how to care for the armor of the knights, something she herself was quickly mastering. That was something else he'd had to teach her. That she wasn't training a replacement. She was training others who would help her, because her workload was so large.
"These ponies can be so fragile."

"And yet we need them to survive."

"How are you doing today, Sev?"

"Well, which is odd to consider," the queen answered truthfully. "I was confused at first, wondering why ponies find a creature with more clothing to be more attractive but then i realized i was remembering human culture and the fact that your previous species was always clothed. How do you keep track of it all?"

Max shook his head.
"I don't. I make mistakes and get confused. Sometimes I confuse myself worse than any pony or changeling could. But you just can't let it get to you. If you do, well, the alicorns are looking healthier but I'd rather not devolve into a gibbering mess right now. So I just have to keep calm."

"It's not as simple as that, however," the queen said. "You're getting better at seperating yourself from the hive, keeping your emotions from overpowering the drones, but I can still feel them."
"When are you going to let yourself relax a little?"

"I've already cut loose a few times, Seven. I really don't know what more you're asking of me."

The queen giggled, stepping closer and leaning closer to his ear.
"Being willing to participate in sexual activities with the three of us does not mean you were relaxed. You still remained focused. You were starting to feel like I did. You were doing your job."

"Uh."

"So we're going to fix that."

Max blinked, staring at the mare in confusion as he smile turned predatory.
'Uh oh'.

"The best part of this link, I believe, is the fact that any and everything you have read or been told about psychology and sexuality is available to Crystal and I. And right now we're curious. We've trusted you with our minds and our lives, Max. Tonight, can you do the same?"

Dinner that night was a quiet and calm affair, though Max found himself both lost in his own worries and finding the three mares who he knew now were planning something whispering amongst themselves and casting glances in his direction. The question wasn't if they were plotting against him, the question was what they were planning. Obviously it would involve sex, as well as the queens and possibly Luna, but he wasn't certain what the queens had planned.

He looked up, belatedly realizing someone had asked him soemthing.
"Huh?"

"I said are you alright?" Celestia asked. "You look distracted."

"He is," Crystal answered before he could even form a thought. "He's distracted by a combination of fear and anxiety. Seven said he wasn't relaxing. That we were going to make him relax tonight. And just as was expected, the stallion begins to worry. You know, the exact opposite thing that we want."

"I have very little direct control in my life right now, Crystal. I can alter my form to be whatever I like, but is that really control? It doesn't change the fact that I'm not human anymore. The ponies are listening to me because Luna and Celestia tell them to, and...I just..."

"I thought you were adjusted," Luna said. "It seems to not be the case. If there is something that is bothering you, you will be telling us."

"It's not a fear, Luna. It's a bit more complicated. It's...I actually don't know how to explain it," Crystal trailed off, looking to the full queen.

"It's difficult for me to place into words as well, but i think it boils down to the difference between knowing and feeling. He knows he can trust the three of us, but deep down inside, well at least for where Crystal and I are concerned. After all, our connection isn't just emotional."

"And mine is?" Luna snapped.

"Your's is...it's a connection he can quantify," Seven answered. "Do you really think you'd be able to ignore the fact that every time you connect to someone they will know anything you let them learn about you? Your past, your family? If I look, I can compare Mother to his mother, and from a position where both were technically my mother. I can remember Mother walking into the training grounds and snapping a sister's neck because she was attempting to dodge and attack during her training and bumped mother. Then I can recall a woman who cheered as he blew out the candles on his birthday cake."

Max winced, nodding. It was nice at first because it made it easier to explain things, but it still freaked him the fuck out if he started thinking about it too deeply. And with things being calmer lately, there was so much time to think.

'Well you can't hide in your head from us,' Seven sent. 'That's why we're going to work on this.'

The stallion nodded. Seven was right, even if he didn't want to do this now. But then again, would there ever be a time he wanted to...dive? Would there ever be a time when he felt comfortable being so tightly bound to others?

"We'll start simply of course. And you know as well as we do that we won't do anything to hurt you, in any way."

"Is there any way we could help?" Celestia asked. "Baring, well..."

"We could lie and say it would greatly help," Crystal giggled. "And I think we'd all have a lot of fun with that. But this is a bit deeper. She's talking about his discomfort with the link. He uses it, certainly, and we can pull from him in turn. But there's always a resistance. He has to fight himself if he thinks about the connection, fight an instinct to protect his thoughts."

"I believe protect is a bad choice of words," Seven said. " It implies we'd damage or harm him. He tends to cut himself off which leaves us feeling disconnected. This becomes even more obvious when we're either working on something that is based on his information or when he is not as distracted. The less he has to focus on, the more his connection to the link locks up or fades in and out."

"It's disconcerting, confusing. The information is there, then it's gone." Crystal continued. "For many of the drones it's not that big of a deal, as they are used to having limited access, but when he keeps trying to share the information and then he ends up cutting us off it becomes frustrating."

"I'm trying, alright?" Max said, belatedly noting his shoulders were tight. He sighed, feeling the wings flex and shift as he forced himself to settle down. He'd never liked being called out. No one did.
"One doesn't go from being alone in your head to finding everyone sorting through your memories like a file cabinet and not get upset about it."

"We're not doing that," Seven said with a roll of her eyes. "You know that."

"I do, it's just..."

"And stop calling it weird and abnormal. It is completely normal for our species. For your species."
Crystal scowled at him, using a fork to push around her unfinished meal.
"Honestly, you accept a lot but there's more to it. And it's not like things have only changed for you. I went from doing my damnedest to survive to actually having fun. I had to change how I think. So don't tell me I don't know anything about this, Maximus. I was terrified to even think, much less just relax and enjoy myself. I trusted you to be right about everything you've been teaching me. Now trust Seven and I to work with you on this. We're not going to meld into some indistinguishable soup."

"But your memories and thoughts are what make you an individual! How do you keep it separate?"

Crystal sighed.
"You don't. It happens naturally. I could have deactivated the filter at any time, I told you that I just didn't want to. It was new, it was something I wasn't able to do on my own. I needed your memories to start learning to make my own. You already have a strong base. That's why I used you like that."

"That's why we used you like that," Seven added. "I was a little closer to knowing how to adapt, but I still wasn't there. You also benefitted from sorting through my head though. Or did you think your sudden aptitude with flight and magic came from nowhere? It wasn't just borrowing it enough times as you assumed. It was the bleed. Your personality won't be altered too much, but that doesn't mean you won't hold aything. It's how we share. It's a constant thing, the constant contact of our minds benefiting us all."

"That makes no sense," Max said, shaking his head. "A brain shouldn't work like that. The constant blending of thoughts should just...it would start blending into a big mess."

"I've never had any such issues," Crystal said, looking to Seven. "Have you?"

Seven chuckled.
"Even the drones are separated. Or did you not notice the fact that the drones, who are at the bottom of the ladder and have no defense from your thoughts and memories, are still individuals? That Crack and Flick, who have been in your hive the longest, are still individuals?"

"I-"

"Maximus?" Luna said, reaching a hoof to his wither. "You spoke to me of adjustment, please don't fight what you are. Tia and I both accept that we are no longer what we were, if you need to speak to someone else about that, we are at least able to understand the species change."

"I...alright. I'll trust them," he relented. "I assume you want to do this in the hive tonight?"

"It will be tonight, but it's not just going to be the hive," Seven explained. "This is going to be a bit deeper. For that reason, I do not believe it would be safe for Luna to join us. This will be much deeper than the connection she's been walking into."

"To start things off though...I want you to put Crystal in charge. Full stop."

Luna was a bit nervous herself as she followed the changelings into her room. The stallion was constantly looking around nervously, buzzing his wings and looking to her with a smile that she knew was as much for his own benefit as her own.

He was terrified about what the queens were going to do. But he also knew they didn't want him getting hurt. He wanted to trust them, but the more Luna thought about it the more she found herself understanding his worry. What he feared. He was worried about losing himself like Crystal and Seven did during their first connection. Seven hadn't even known there was something wrong until he'd repeatedly pointed it out, and even then it had been something she quickly forgot.

It just wasn't something an individual could grasp. If you lost yourself, you'd never realize it.

The changeover had already happened, both queens now acting a little more stiffly as their mental hierarchy was being altered. Crystal was still cheerful and happy, but her language was more formal while Seven was looking a bit more tense. They were all now resting on her bed, but they were just...waiting? Going by expressions, they weren't even talking at the moment.

"Are you certain there's nothing I can do to help?" Luna asked.

"Yes-no. Maybe?" Crystal said, looking to Seven. The older queen sighed, her eye twitching before she looked to Luna and began to speak.

"We're trying to think of how to do this in such a way as to explain it to Max, or even give examples but this isn't something we've studied. It's just something we feel to be correct. The issue then becomes how do you explain that which you only know by instinct?"

"I'm done thinking for now. I want to relax. That's what this was supposed to be about," Crystal growled. Before Luna could respond all three changelings were moving quickly, The pillows being piled into one area while Max stood and rolling onto his back. Crystal settled with her forelegs wrapped in his as she kissed him, Seven beginning to kiss and lick at his lower plates while his back was propped on the pillows.

"Oh? I'm not given something to do?" Luna asked, grateful for the distraction.

Crystal broke the kiss and looked at her before grinning.
"I think I can find a use for my beta."

"You'll find a use for your what?" Luna squawked indignantly. Before she could do more though Seven had slathered a thin coating of resin on her horn and was pinning her to the bed, giggling viciously as Luna began struggling. A resistance that quickly died as a few very sharp teeth pressed against her throat.

Luna looked up to see both of her flock looking down Max's barrel towards her, his emergent rod just starting to come to its full length at the older queen's now-abandoned work.

"Yes, I think I know what I want," Seven whispered into her ear.

To say Max was nervous as he watched the battles in the bedroom was an understatement. He was approaching outright panic. The queens were currently taking over, as between his subservient connection all but forcing him to stay put and Crystal deciding that she would be the alpha of their flock tonight, things were getting weird. Add to this mess the fact that Crystal had just inched him forward to sit behind him, reaching around and teasing his shaft while Seven went on to treat Luna to the bent-back tongue-fucking Luna had given Crystal not too long ago, he had a sneaking suspicion that the queens were going to be having their fun with the other two.

"So how is it, Luna?" Crystal jeered, watching as Luna's tongue lolled in pleasure, the queen's flanks pinning her neck to the bed. "It looks just as fun as it was for me!"

Luna moaned, her wings fluttering and her hind legs kicking into the air uselessly.
"It...deeper, I know, you can get-"

Luna's words cut off with a squeal by Seven's increase in intensity even as Crystal ran her hoof along one of his rings, causing him to throb at the touch.

'Just relax. We have things under control.'

He blinked at the odd echo in his head. Both of the queens had said that.
'What are you doing?'

'An exercise. One in sharing. And trust. And maybe a little bit of experimentation.'

He was about to turn to the queen behind him when Seven began grinding herself against Luna's neck, smearing her nectar into the alicorn's mane. At the same time Crystal began rocking as well, moaning softly into his ear as she began using her magic to stroke his shaft.

'You're sharing the sensations.'

'Of course we are,' Crystal sent, giggling as she nipped at his neck. 'It's not like I can reach myself from this position. So I just need to rely on Seven for this. Ready, Seven?'

'Oh, I think I am,' Seven said, letting Luna's flank fall bonelessley to the bed. 'I've been curious if it was possible, now we're going to put it to the test.'

'What-'

Seven was already moving, hopping off of the bed and pulling the alicorn's rear so that the blue mare's legs hung limply from the bed. Even as Luna looked back, Seven was engulfed in a flash of fire that for all Max could tell didn't really change anything.

'Not that you can see from your angle, at least,' Seven giggled, shifting her hips and letting him see the new addition that was now hanging from between her legs: an exact copy of his own equipment.
"I've been wondering if this would work. You ready for a little experimentation, Luna?"

The alicorn looked back slowly, her brain still catching up with her new position before her eyes caught sight of the changeling penis staring back at her. She blinked, looking back towards Max and Crystal before looking back to Seven in confusion, her emotions swirling. Finally she seemed to understand.
"Oh. Ooooh."

"Yes, Oh." Seven giggled before attempting to shove herself into the alicorn too quickly. Both winced, Seven looking at the stallion with an apologetic air.
'I suppose I should have checked for details before trying to use this.'

'Don't apologize to me, I'm not the one you tried to shove a dick into without even making sure it was hard.'

Luna meanwhile was looking at the queen in amusement.
"You missed."

Crystal laughed, still running a hoof over Maximus' lower body. As her hoof slid along the psuedo-leather of his lower body inside the plates, Max felt a connection flowing into his head, one that connected his other head to-

He shivered as the sensations flowed into his mind, causing him to begin to harden even faster. He felt as Seven rubbed herself between Luna's legs, felt himself rubbing up against the blue mare's teats. He felt Seven pull back and finally, slowly push into the pinned alicorn's sex. He felt her tighten around him instinctively, watching his stallionhood throb as Luna's eyes widened in surprise. He felt the mare clamp down on him, felt as the shifted queen began thrusting as the pleasure increased exponentially.

"Take a good look, Luna, as he's feeling every twitch," Crystal giggled, pushing him and causing the rod to bob before the blue alicorn's eyes. As Luna clenched and shivered Max groaned, feeling every caress. It also had the added benefit of showing Luna just what her every shift and twitch was doing to him. She was focused completely on his tool, watching raptly as a stream of glowing pre dribbled down from the tip.

'Now to see if, it works,' Seven giggled as she buried herself into Luna's depths. Max felt the clenching and was rewarded for following along with an orgasm, the pink glowing cum jetting up into the air only to fall back onto his exposed belly. Luna's eyes bulged in time with his spurts of cum, staring in confusion at him.

After his shaft slowly sagged with the ending of his orgasm, Luna finally worked up the energy to respond.
"I, felt something. What was that?"

"It's called recycling," Seven explained, her smile never leaving her face. "After all, we have so many ways to store seed but only one source. If other queens do ally with us, they're going to want access to your male. Think of it as both a way to expand the ways we can enjoy ourselves and a way to remove a bit of the burden from your mate. I also don't think he'd survive contact with some of the other queens."

"A, a peace offering," Max panted. "They'd trust you enough to, let you inseminate them. To prove you have access."

"I'll admit it's not as fun as recieving and it would mean I'd need to replenish more often, but if it keeps my hive-sisters happy so be it."

Max nodded, letting his head hang back as he allowed himself to recover. He vaguely noted the queen behind him moving to lick the emotion-saturated semen off of his barrel. The sensations were still there. He could still feel the flocks alpha twitching and squeezing him from across the room and combined with the cool night air it was a confusing sensation. He could feel her but...he wasn't?
'This is so wierd.'

'We're not quite done yet, either,' Crystal said.

The queen moved to sit herself on his barrel, encapsulating his stallionhood in her magic and moving him between the soft flesh of her flanks. She ground back and forth, causing Seven to Flinch as the sensations hit the older queen as well.
"Wait, you're still connected to Seven? But she's connected to me-"

"It's a bit more complicated, but if you'd like i can share it all," Crystal said aloud. The next thing he felt was a blast of arousal as the sensation of her sensitive vaginal lips rubbing against his leathery skin forced itself into his head, causing his member to spring to full wakefullness again. It also apparently had the same impact on Seven, as Luna squawked at the sudden re-inflation of stallionflesh still sitting inside her.

"Oh shit, Crystal this is, we already know what happens." Max grunted, attempting to grab the mare sitting on his lap. It didn't work though. She blocked the command, leaving him sitting there limply as she continued to grind against him mercilessly untill finally lifting her body and allowing him to slide inside. The moment the cross-body sensations of penetration hit him, his body locked up instantaneously.

Crystal giggled as the stallion came quickly, and judging by the grunting and moaning coming from behind her so had Seven.
"My, everyone's so hair-trigger today."

'Cheater,' Seven accused. 'You, you redirected, you didn't share. Redirected it to us.'

'And now nobody's cognizant enough to stop me from having my fun!'

Crystal focused on her inner workings, feeling the body pulling the seed into her depths and into the usual storage pouches. She felt her body warming from the emotion he filled her with before turning to Luna, the exhausted princess staring in confusion and exhaustion. Crystal looked at the queen slumped over her alpha and she smiled.

"Oh buck," Luna wheezed.

"You certainly will be."

Moving around behind the two exhausted mares Crystal moved Seven's tail out of the way. The queen had apparently only changed enough of her body to replicate the stallion's equipment...which was excellent in her opinion as this left her staring at the weeping and sadly underserviced marehood of Seven.
"You look like you could use a bit of energy, Sev. Let me help you with that."

She mounted Seven quickly, learning from her hive-sister's mistake and allowing the replicated malebits to fully engorge from the freeflowing arousal they were all feeling. The moment she considered it sufficient, she drove her own dick into Seven, which not incidentally shoved the still recovering queen deeper into Luna. Both mares shouted at the penetration, Luna in well-fucked ecstasy while Seven responded in panic.

'I'm going to be empty again, I'm not going to have enough to keep going!'

'That's why I'm here, Seven," Crystal sent with a grin.

Crystal gave an enthusiastic thrust into Seven, listening with glee as Luna and Seven both grunted with the impact. She pulled out while pulling Seven's hips back as well, though not as far, and gave a second thrust, slapping the three of them together again.

She looked over her current target at the male, who even as he was recovering was staring in wonder at the new levels of carnality the queens had delved into.
'This is all you, Maximus,' Crystal laughed. 'I set this squarely on your shoulders. Oh I'm certain the other queens will only take this farther once they learn of it. In the meantime...enjoy.'

She tapped his connection and wired the sensations from both her own immitation shaft as well as Seven's, funneling the entirety of Seven's sexual gratification as well as her own through his mind. His eyes bulged at the sudden flow, as did his stallionhood. A few more thrusts and he was groaning and moaning again, erupting into another fountain of glowing seed.

'I don't know why I waited this long to start messing with the link. This is amazing!'

'I'll, get you for, this,' Seven managed between the impacts. She wasn't doing well, her body twitching while her legs shook. Just a little more and-

Seven squealed, shooting what meager reserves were left inside of her body into the alicorn. Moments later her body was being filled from behind, Crystal unleashing the fresh batch of semen into the queen while moaning in delerious pleasure. It was nowhere as fun as being on the recieving end as Seven had said, but it had its perks. Namely she felt a thrill at the idea of rutting the other two into submission. She was on top. And it was amazing.

Max stared at the queens as they discussed the next phase of their plan, something to do with a 'link-dive' or something that he wasn't sure he followed. It was supposed to set him at ease. Hoipefully, unlike their earlier enthusiastic work, it woudln't leave him a drooling mess.

"Ok Maximus," Crystal explained. "The next thing we're going to do is a deep dive. We wish to prove that you will not be altered in meaningful ways by your connection. Thus we're going to form as deep a connection as possible."

"We'll start simple. A general selection of memories from Crystal's life, up until she met Luna. After that we will switch it over to me, then we'll dive into yours."

"And you're certain it won't...break us?" Max asked. "The last time we messed with memories you ended up almost brain dead, Sev."

"We were in combat," the queen huffed, waving away the comment. "This is a link. The information is supposed to be shared this way. It's how we work. Our brains are made for sorting this sort of information. Now, Crystal, if you would be so kind?"

As the queens and the viceroy allowed their minds to connect more deeply than ever, none noticed the still fuck-dazed alicorn entering the dream. None noticed as she walked closer. None of them noticed as she was pulled into the delve until it was already in progress.
