A few hours later, Prime six had taken me to a nearby planet that had a biomass teleport. It was small and not meant for living travel, but it was better than going back under the ocean for it was on a small island.
The whole reason I learnt that the hive builds smaller teleports like this, but don't use them themselves for travel, other than the energy cost Is sharing. Sometimes when invading a region of space, the hive awakens and drops onto a planet, only to realise there is not enough biomass to sustain that fleet.
When an incident like that occurs, other fleets will send over their excess biomass if they are too far away to share what I refer to as 'the collective stomach' where all the biomass is stored.
There was also another reason like the one I arrived on. That entire planet, once Prime six was done in this system, was being directly drained straight onto home world by another array I was not aware of.
