== Zhen'qual Develops her Spawn==
The Zu-nul send a new pair of scouts to investigate the plains. They will try figure
out the behavioral patterns of the landworms, so that they might capture one for
their god. They managed to take high aerial reconnaissance of the plains, and saw
patterns in the ground... landworm tracks! They have also figured out that one of
the tracks lead to the desert, while the others seem to lead towards the south and
southeast.

After many failed attempts, the scouts happen across a severely injured male. They
begin to drag him back to Zhen'qual.

Tankoni attack and the scouts defeat them soundly. They tend to landworm and even
attempt to feed it chunks of the dead Tankoni. It eats very little and is grows
weak. One of the scouts notices an exposed nerve cluster not dissimilar to that of a
godworm.

The scout touches the mind of the beast. Though its violent instincts, he can feel
that the worm is dying. Its final thoughts are the sperm capsule it had yet to drop
in its territory. The worm is dead and the scouts mission seems a failure.

The desperate scouts have a blasphemous idea. They cut open the worm and extract
three intact sperm capsules. They split into three teams so that they have a greater
chance of returning to Zhen'qual unmolested.

One team makes it home without incident, the other two encounter VKB and desert
predators, but return home with their capsule and their causalities.

The surviving scouts are met with praise when they return. By managing to acquire
the sperm capsules of the landworm, they manage to surprise the mighty Zhen'qual
herself, who had thought the Zu-nul to be too incompetent and unfocused without a
proper wormborn to lead them.

Zhen'qual devours the first capsule and orders the remaining two to be stored away.
She immediately starts up her egg production by inseminating few of her eggs with
this new seed. With any luck, at least some of them might gain some beneficial
traits.

Zhen'qual senses clearly that one of the her hybrid spawn will not be viable. She
quickly reabsorbs the deformed spawn's egg, and funnels more of her strength to the
development of the remaining two.

One of them shows great potential. The other, while not as exceptional as its
sibling, is still viable enough to be worthy of nurturing. She starts to infuse her
memories to the minds of her spawns, so that they would be more prepared to the
dangers of the desert, and thus, more likely to survive and spread their genes. The
two larvae receive Zhen'qual's memories... but not all of them. Some were lost or
muddled due to chemical errors, but not much.

As time goes on, Zhen'qual lays her eggs, but due to an order from the godworm
herself, the Hazuvaat-nul ritual is not conducted. She wishes to monitor the
development of these larvae, and only release them to the desert when she is sure
that they are strong enough to survive.

Zhen'qual keeps monitoring her two hybrid children with the aid of the suzumou. One
of them is doing quite well, growing in size and intelligence daily. It has the more
efficient vibratory muscles of the landworms, their grabbing tongue beak and
structurally lighter, but still extremely resilient shell, while still retaining the
sandworm intelligence and sleek body type. The young worm can move faster than most
of it's peers trough the sand.

The other larva isn't doing as well. It has the complete body type of the landworms,
making its movements slower in the sand, as the hard metallic bumps covering its
shell only cause drag in the already loose soil. Not to mention that it's growth is
far slower than it's siblings.

Zhen'qual attempts to figure out a way how to make her second child thrive. She
could always order the suzumou to carry it back to the plains, the increased
intelligence of the larvae might allow it to compete against the native landworms,
but she has her doubts about it.

Zhen'qual monitors the development of her smaller child. The amplified electric
abilities might prove to be useful. She still keeps this child nearby, but the time
for the bigger one to leave has dawned. It is already large enough to fend for
itself, and with the aid of the godworm's knowledge, it should be able to survive
just fine.

No sooner does her eldest leave when a savage spear of fire and thunder strikes the
fledgling child. Thickblood! The worm burrows before the jet wesper can finish him
off. He retreats back to his mother, injured badly.

The child is beyond the help of the people. The younger child not recognizing his
weaken sibling savagely attacks it, killing it and securing its legacy over that of
its brother. It begins to consume him which facilitates its growth. After feasting
for days, it rapidly grows larger than his dead and eaten brother.

Zhen'qual is impressed by the ruthlessness that the smaller child exhibited. That
ruthlessness will allow it to survive in the desert, where others would perish. It
is time to send the young electric sandworm away.

The second child carves its own niche in the desert, and that is by becoming an
efficient top-tier hunter. It would utilize a plethora of strategies that uses its
electric powers, like sensing them using both static feedback and tremorsense to
locate prey
