## Summary

### Borderline

When Amber and her strike team have to hunt down a wild bee from level 1, orange zone in one of the luxurious accommodation warrens, Lucas ask the head of Hive Politics if Amber and her body guards can shelter in his apartment in the reinforced central area, which he grants permission. Ultimately, the wild bee makes it to Elliott's apartment's bookette room thinking he will be safe there, but instead Amber's body guards take him down. Amber notices that Elliott's living room is decorated in blues with a battered surf board on display.

The accusations and proof that Hive Genex attempted to kidnap Amber has been submitted to Joint Hive Treaty Enforcement and they along with a delegation from Hive England, Hive Politics are at Hive Genex. As soon as the delegation arrives they are informed by Joint Hide Treaty enforcement that Amber was not the first citizen of Hive England that was kidnapped by Hive Genex, that nearly thirty years before, three other people were kidnapped using the same method. Those three people and their eighteen duty children have all been taken into protective custody pending Hive England submitting a claim for them.

The Hive England delegations were expecting to join all the negotiations about penalties and compensation arrangements for their attempted kidnapping of Amber so Elliott had sent ambassadors experienced in that area. Instead when they arrive they discovered that they needed to register a new claim right away and the only person with the imprinted knowledge was Michaela who had just come out of Lottery and imprinted earlier that day.

Twenty-Seven years ago the three kidnapped Hive England citizens were placed in the Hive Genex duty children program and had six children each ranging from age nineteen to twenty-six. The new claim was automatically extended to cover all eighteen children who have been placed in protective custody at Hive Genex with their imprints left in place. This has made the case against Hive Genex much more difficult and it will not only take longer but Joint Hive Treaty enforcement will have to come to Hive England and inspect their records, too before they will reach a judgement. Any of the children could use their right to move Hives to either stay at Hive Genex or go to Hive England, but they are all going along with JHT enforcement for now which means their right to move hives will stay intact along with their Hive Genex imprint. One of the eighteen children is a twenty-four year old true telepath, the oldest son of a borderline telepath.

When Lucas tries to get in touch with Michaela for the second time in regards to one of their cases, Blue Upway and Michaela isn't available, he starts by explaining the situation to Ambassador Paula, Michaela's older sister. She denied all knowledge of Blue Upway before bringing Elliott into the call. At first Elliott was unwilling to admit that they knew anything about the teen game, but when Amber threatens to bringing her strike team to their office, arrest them and read their minds about the game, Elliott capitulated and accepted that they had to tell Amber and Lucas the full story.

Their reluctance to bring up Blue Upway and Michaela's role stems from several reasons. First because she was the only one that could file the claim for the other three kidnapped victims and their children while they were still in protective custody. If they would have waited to file the claim, Joint Hive Treaty enforcement would have released them from custody until the claim process was completed. But because Michaela was an Adversary, her past had to have been without any blemishes. Since Teen Games are technically illegal and against hive law JHT enforcement would look at it and consider Michaela as tainted and throw out her claim, so Elliott had been trying to keep any records off of their hive's central data core. If they would have called in a telepath unit or anyone in law enforcement to put a stop to Bruce's malevolent behavior with Blue Upway, records about it would have been added to the central data core and JHT enforcement would have found them when the come to Hive England. With the claim including a true telepath that Hive England desperately needs they were also trying to keep all knowledge about the additional claims from Keith so that he wouldn't do anything to wreck their claim against Hive Genex and he would if found out that there was the possibility of an experience telepath coming to their Hive. A few years before when Keith became curious about something going on with the North America group of hives, he noised around in the Hive Politics records by both blackmailing someone and reading minds to steal security codes. He sent a message that almost wrecked everything Hive Politics was working for. They were only able to salvage the situation because Hive England is known for being the most advanced when it comes to recycling, but his actions were considered traitorous. JHT enforcement couldn't find absolute proof at that time that it was Keith that sent the message, so his right to change hives was left intact.

### Adversary

Joint Hive Treaty Enforcement and Hive Genex have come to Hive England and it is Elliott's responsibility to make the important decisions such as Amber participating in a questioning session with Chief Examinant Rune and Adversary Aura. Hive Genex is not admitting to any wrong doing, but instead thinks they found a weakness in Hive England's claim and plan on exploiting it and Amber.

When Adversary Aura succeeds in making Amber lose her temper and agree to a demonstration that she can leave her hive and that her telepathy works at a great distance from the hive. Elliott isn't happy that Amber agreed without consulting him and makes her promise not to make any more decisions without giving him a chance to decide.
