The most astonishing thing about the Queen is her ability
to communicate with her hive. While evidence exists to
suggest she does so via a combination of pheromones and
subsonic vocalizations, there are company consultants who
believe she communicates telepathically as well, “speaking”
with her children over immeasurable distances. In fact,
corporate psychiatrists have documented that employees who
score high on their company esper tests and find themselves
within the proximity of an alien hive will have vivid dreams of
the Queen calling to them, whether they are aware of her
existence or not.
Additionally, professional dreamers seem to have a hard
time producing after being exposed to an alien Queen. Of
course, this could simply be a form of PTSD, but it bears
further investigation. An alien Queen’s distinguishing
characteristics include her size, her large crested head, set of
six dorsal spikes (instead of tubes), unique stance and a
second set of grasping arms.
