What happens if you start your turn with no active workers?

The publisher confirmed the free worker, and the rulebook's Empty Hive wording gives the trigger; the landing-area point comes from players.

You gain one free strength-1 worker in your active pool and take a place turn with it, but only if you have no workers anywhere, meaning none on the board or on your docking mat. If you still have workers on the board, you must retrieve them instead. Players also treat a worker waiting in the landing area as blocking the free worker, since you can retrieve it.
