A
colony of spiral worker drones, here at work carrying other drones. Overseen
by an elite force, The Drones of the Hand,
the entire colony is ruled by the Blue Egg of
the Red Hand. Over it rises a Spiral
Halo, the source of its divine right of rule. The Copper
Flame of Conscience, to the Blue Egg's left, provides the necessary
moral rationale for the colony's existence. Some drones do manage to escape
through the Spiral Flow Tube into
the clear air above. But to do so they must first get past the Baby
Blue Guard of Paradise, just above the Blue
Egg of the Red Hand. Few make it. Most end up sliding back
by way of The Greased Pole of Humiliation
(to The Blue Egg's right) down to The
Cellar of Spiral Sin. There they are spanked by The
Red Drone of the Blue Hand and then waved back to work by The
White Fans of Progress. Of course, they will only continue
to try to escape their spiral servitude, for the thirst for Freedom,
even for Spiral Drones, is unquenchable.
