"You are right, but you should still be careful about the level of punishments that you are handing out. Will was also supposed to be watching over the SugaBees until they were settled," Pelleta said, but then Beezli turned to Ashia's chair and pressed down on the intercom button.

Beezli didn't speak; she only had to intend to; that was how the Path worked.

Will's form condensed from the black mist, and he sighed when he saw Beezli. Will was wearing a white bonnet and black, and white maids outfit that Beezli had Pelleta make for the giant AssassiBee.

"Oh, don't look at me like that! I know you are not your other job, so I will wait. I called you here because I wanted to show my darling here that what I require of you is nothing less than what your Path Requires of you," Beezli said with a smile, and Will rolled his eyes.

"She is not wrong, but I do not understand why the path would require this of me or why it should be a Path that I walk?" Will said in frustration.

Beezli signed and then lifted off the ground and used the palm of her hand to slap Will on the forehead. Will didn't try to block it, but Beezli also was trying to injure the man, just trying to knock something free up there.

"The Path takes you to where you need to go, and that is all, but it does not mean that it will guide you perfectly. You still need to make choices; the Path can only guide you, not tell you what to do or how to act. This is why you are in this predicament, is it not? You knew you should have stopped Ashia from going down there and explained everything to her first!" Beezli scolded Will, and he recoiled like he had been slapped.

"Beezli, don't you think that is enough?" Pelleta asked Beelzi, but Will put up a hand to stop her from going on.

"No, she is right, and the punishment for what I did was hardly fitting, so I am happy to know that you will do it. I placed my Queen's life in danger, and I guess the Path is trying to teach me a lesson; I just really don't like cleaning," Will said, and Beezli lowered herself back to the ground.

"It wouldn't be much of a punishment if you liked it, and I don't think that you would learn very much. Thank you for coming, and after you are done with the training areas, you will need to go out and sweep off the tops of the current Hex-Combs; thank you!" Beezli said, and at that moment, M&M walked through the Honey Gate.

"Yes, I think that the upgrades in Manufacturing will yield the best starting results for that," Messia said, and Miasma nodded to her.

"I picked apart a few people when you were running the Evolution chart on them all, and it looks like the three mechanic classes we found will be the most likely to yield the Genes that we will need to get someone working on the Drone repair," Miasma said, and then both of them looked up to see Beezli forming at the two of them.

"Yes, you wanted us to come up? I thought that you were going to do the Snake Folk yourself?" Messia asked, but Miasma giggled.

"I think the woman of the relationship stepped in to guide her Alpha Bee in a less reckless course of action, hehe," Miasma said, with a laugh, but then ducked behind Messia when Beezli raised a crackling hand in front of herself.

"I may not have my Divine Presence to put you in check right now, Little Mink, but I am more than strong enough to put you over my knee! Yes, Pelleta convinced me that it might be wise for me to ask you and the rest of the women to come along, but where are they?" Beezli asked, but the girls just smiled weakly.

"Serria is tired and resting, Rixie is training with Miku, and Xani is working with Chipped, so you have us. I also know the Snake Folk very well, and I don't think that having any of the other girls will help us that much. We will go directly to talk to Seshia; she is the elder and the greatest healer of the village, and if we want to convince the Snake Folk, then we need to start with her," Miasma explained, and Beezli sighed.

"I guess it is what it is," Beezli said and then turned to press the intercom again. "Riza and Joni, Navigation Level for guard duties; Leah is not going anywhere, so you can stop fawning over her!"

"Do you need to harass everyone?" Messia asked as she squinted at Beezli, but she just laughed and waved Messia off.

"I think that you all need to lighten up a bit more around here and have some fun. Those two have figured themselves out, and a little bit of cajoling is good for the girls and the rest of you! Loosen up some, or you are going to start rubbing off on your Queen more than you already have," Beezli explained, and Messia got a shocked look on her face, but Miasma started to laugh.

"Maybe you are right; Miasma and Ashia seem to have more carefree and relaxing interactions with each other. Our lives are always heated or business-like," Messia said and put one of her hands on her chin as she took in what Beezli had just said.

"You will have plenty of time to think while you are in the drone, Messia. I would like to have at least one of you in one of the Drones, and Miasma seems to have more experience in this area," Beezli said, and Messia nodded and walked over to her chair and sat down.

"I will see you all down there," Messia said and closed her eyes.
