The Hive

The Hive
Origin: Active in: Creator:	Unknown The entire world Dr Ore & slashannemoo
- Coalition of telepathically linked people, members can spread this property by being near unlinked people for a long time. - Telepathic link allows the instantaneous transfer of knowledge between individuals. - Has members in every anomalous Group in existence, continues to convert more members to gain access to their knowledge. - Anomalies created by them usually incorporate knowledge and techniques from multiple GoI. - Aims for scientific advancement in all fields through the use of the anomalous. - The telepathic link between all members creates a gestalt intelligence that secretly controls the entire organization, without making itself known. This intelligence can infect new victims in emergencies. - This gestalt intelligence also brainwashes people, rewriting their entire personality if their views don't align with the Hive, or if they become aware of the Hive's existence. - Many members working as infiltrators unknowingly have the secret objective of allowing the gestalt intelligence to infect more and more people around them. - Irritated by the Foundation since it was discovered by it in 2012. - Tries to prevent deaths and injuries, but will resort to violence if placed under enough pressure.

Church of the Second Hytoth

Department of Abnormal Threats of the Security Service of Ukraine
The Hive sends spies and saboteurs to the Department, to keep it from interfering with Hive operations.

Doctor
The Hive tries to locate Doctor to make him part of its network, but so far has failed.
The Doctor
The Hive supports the Doctor with supplies, asking for aid from its members as compensation. There is strategy behind this, because integration into the network is easier if the target is surrounded by several Hive members.
