Shadows In Flight, Enhanced Edition - Plot & Excerpts
The Hive Queens' ability to communicate so perfectly with their daughters meant that there was no need for any kind of communications system. The Hive Queen could pilot the ship from anywhere. The pilot could be anywhere, too, with no need for visuals or even instruments, because whatever the Hive Queen knew from any of her daughters was known by all the others. She stood over the Hive Queen's body while Ender took holoimages of the corpse. "Don't touch it," Ender said. "She'll crumble into dust." "So I guess this means interrogation is out of the question," said Carlotta. "Go ahead and ask her anything," said Sergeant. Carlotta didn't feel like joking any longer. "Somebody piloted this boat, and it wasn't her. But I can't trace the communications system because there isn't one." Ender was oblivious to their concerns. "I've got all the images I can and they're stored back on Herodotus. So I'm going to take a sample." "What happened to 'crumble into dust'?" asked Sergeant. "I'll be careful," said Ender.
