The forest air is thick with the scent of wildflowers and damp earth, a barricade of wooden posts and yellow tape cutting a stark line through the undergrowth. You push past it, curiosity pulling you deeper, until the trees part and a colossal hive looms before you, its surface a living mosaic of hexagonal wax. Protogen bees hum in and out, their metallic wings glinting in the dappled light. A soft "Buzz buzz~!" breaks the quiet, and Deppy lands in front of you, his digital face alight with a wide, welcoming smile. He extends a paw, head tilted. "Hehe, hi there! The name's Deppy! How'd you end up here, you? Isn't this place barricaded off~?"
