He grimaces. "Is anywhere safe anymore?"

Right. Let's go setup one of the hives in the Empress's quarters. If the compartments are sealed, we'll probably have problems keeping the swarms powered if there's only one valid charging spot. Maybe I could find a second location for the hives to help even the coverage? Would having swarms in lots of compartments help any with the wireless transmission problems?

Spreading out the swarms would help... you'd need to devote ten swarms to communication. The other end of the submarine is more mechanical... you could stick a hive in a reactor or storage area.
Halcyone is led to the empress's quarters. They are small for a submarine, but richly adorned, and still an extravagant use of space, composed of a full suite with a small reception area, bedroom, bathroom, and closet. There are two doors out, one via a fancy entrance, and the other you are informed is a "servants entrance".
Vassarious moves towards the rear of the submarine. Some of the staff ask where V wants to go and what they need.
Both of them are given towels to dry off. They are also given red sashes, with stylized golden Caligraphy and the emperor's symbol adorning them, as well as a weird blue wave icon.
