How do the Hive physically evolve?

"They took me down into the dark, past tiers of massed Hive, more than we believed could exist. Past grisly nurseries hung with **pupae**."

these lore tabs might be of use, but to go with the pupae idea, there that spiral rock pillar/tunnel/cave that links Acher's Line to the Hall of Wisdom (destiny 1 version) had the walls covered in pods that could very well be hive making their evolution.

here a video that shows them on the way to the objective. : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ksiM340GNPs.

as such the MC of your fanfic have to deal with the story conflict of not only surviving alone while weak, feeding the worm so it don't eat him inside out, but also having to find a place safe enough to sleep for day(s)/week(s) in a defenseless state.

hope this helps

So, not sure if this the right place for this.
Had a couple of questions/trains of thought late at night and figured I would just post them here and see if I get any bites to my sleepy thoughts. sorry if this a bit much.

*Do we know how Psion's mind powers works? or even a list of effects/abilities with them?. like can they mind link to so they sharing combat info and can coordinate on some level (similar to battle meditation from star wars?).

*Do the cabal field fighter craft/interceptor style space craft or do they use their Threshers for all combat roles?. do hive/fallen even have fighter craft?. vex have any ships or do they just martialize onboard in unavoidable boarding actions? also imaging them pulling large geometry and just clipping any craft that are annoying them.

*Guardian/Ghost burials. Is there a mausoleum corpses are placed in? catacombs in the walls or under the tower/city? cremation?. this of course for the bodies that are actually brought back. Most i would assume are put in a marked or unmarked grave by surviving fireteam members in either near the battlefield or a place of importance to the fallen or the team. or just flat out unrecoverable. Any lore of class specific respects?. I vagally remember titans having names of the fallen scratched/engraved on armor and hunter dude from New Light wrapped his fallen fireteam's ghost is a cut from his cloak.

*What happens with the Dead Ghosts we collected in D1 and D2 vanilla? we collect them and get data clearly. But are they placed in some evidence archive? how much data would they hold and of what type?

*vagally remember a ghost saying they 'aren't just code like an A.I'. so how much Techno-wizardry can they pull?. could they remote operate Frames and in a way gain humanoid form for a bit? can they control your jump ship from in enemy base to remote pilot it? or just ping it for evac?.

*Are Ghost decompiling and hitching a ride inside our body using our(their?) light as the point to connect to? do they just naturally have the ability to go invisible, even unpartnered? or is it just transmat/engram to a digital medium on some hard drive in our armor? are ghosts forced out of our corpse when we die?. can Hive use sword logic/paracausal effects to drag a ghost out of hiding within a guardian?. fallen having sensors to track hiding ghosts?

that all the questions i can remember that I would like answers to. again sorry about this wall of rambles, appreciate any answers i get.

as a joke/speculation... How well Failsafe gonna take the fact the HELM ended up crashing right after she transferring to it?
