Still plenty of room for another spawn. And next turn we will have horned sliver to be able to build up the hive much faster.

You start the month by laying another clutch of eggs - six mana worth, this time. You can feel them - 8 thrums, and a might sliver.
This month, you decide to really put your nose to the grindstone and learn all you can - you sign up for three different classes, and make an effort to ask the researchers about aura and how their experiments teach them new things about it. The classes are very frustrating - Aura Theory is interesting, but you're having trouble making sense of the vocabulary, and struggle to see how any of it could actually be applied. Practical Aura Applications is almost entirely useless - you follow the exercises as best you can, but none of them seem to do anything for you. Even combat practice fails to provide any new insights.
The talks with the researchers, however, go much better. You spend a fair amount of time talking with Cobalt about Aura and it's uses, and he tells you about the various feats people have accomplished with it in the past-focusing it to increase strength, agility or toughness, a variety of tricks people perform with their semblances, the use of dust with it in many different ways, the use of Aura with other objects, etc, etc. By the end of the month, you've thought of several different tricks you could potentially try to master with aura - bursts of speed, shields, and more esoteric techniques. The discussion of their experimental methods is very illuminating - it takes you a bit to really wrap your head around the idea, but soon enough you think you have a basic understanding of the experimental process. At least, the very basics - testable predictions, gathering data, trial and error, constant questioning and doubt, etc, etc.
Once again, you find yourself making a suggestion to the students, and not only having them agree, but seeing it met with a surprising degree of enthusiasm. You manage to organize a regular hunting party - enough to feed you and your children even despite subpar hunting on your part, as most of the students can't eat what they catch.
On another note, one of the students comes back with a disturbing tale, of strange figures sneaking about while you were away hunting. They chased them off, but weren't able to find any proof. The figures never got close enough for your guarding thrums to see any of them, so you have nothing to contribute. Still, you know to be wary now. In that vein, you awaken Galeriders aura, giving him an extra layer of defense. He and his brothers, and Horned, too, all grow up this turn, leaving you with a proper sliver hive, if a small one. You all stretch your newfound wings quite happily, and a few quick exploratory flights show them to be perfectly functional. A quick test on a tunnely wall shows the horns to work well too. The new eggs all hatch as well, giving you 8 new baby thrums and a baby might sliver.
What do you do now? You have 6 actions. You can assign your slivers to an action with you, in which case they'll impact the DC, or you can assign them to actions on their own, in which case they won't get the benefit of your physical stats, and only half the benefit of your mental stats, but will allow you to do more things at once.

Well now know that someone is after our kids and so it would be a really good time to make some defenses to our hive. Might also want to learn some aura techniques that make us faster since small fast moving targets are a problem for us at the moment. Really good thing we got that might Sliver. @Angle Noticed that digging tunnels still has a 40 DC even though the horned Sliver should help with that. How much of a boost does horned give towards digging? Also what does flying do for us besides the obvios as in what does it impact?

Horned changes the amount you can get done for your check result. I should really go and remove the DCs, as they're based off of how much you can build versus how much you're trying to build, and thus are different for each action.

Basically ease off on the food burden on the local area until we get it surveyed for sustainability, and get better at Aura. We can deal with potential intruders better this way if we know the woods.

I don't think the students will be able to help us with our Survey action unless they can fly. Also it would be nice to bond another mana well. We do not need to expand the hive capacity yet we still have room. Spawning is a free action we might as well do it every turn.

Did you forget to add birthing Slivers which is a free action and gives the potential to increase our power by adding new abilities? Because if you didn't I am going to vote for something that does because it would be foolish to not use a Slivers main ability.

Okay, guys. Here's an idea I had. Hunters use their aura to make their nonsense weapons more durable and keep them functional despite mechanical impossibility. But us building a weapon is kind of stupid. Let's use that same effect on our hives instead. Anyone who comes in is IN our weapon. With slivers wielding and controlling whatever traps we devise.
Also now that we have awakened slivers, we need to see if we all share a semblance, or if they're all different, or if just our specials are unique and the thrums are all the same, or...

If we're trying to trap our home we should ask ruby for help. that and ozpin. as well as ask Ozpin about what he uses mana for.
And find a more marketable skill so we can start purchasing dust to experiment with. to that end using targeted amounts of mana to limit the slivers we can get to one with that ability tap sliver heal a player might be a good idea.

I am personally interested in making a sort of clubhouse at the entrance for student hunters to hang out at, but no else seems interested.
I also want to bond another mana well. That seems more important than expanding for space we don't need yet.
