>>7166575
Then let's start training, for starters, open the door with our drug-mind, it's time to cause destruction!

Evaulate spray gland production capabilities; request production of both Obscura and Slaught when necessary.

head out of the warehouse, and back into the vents.
Consume the guard we killed earlier, and then proceed to test our new Spray Glands by dispersing Slaught into the main bar through the ventilation system.

>>7166600

This.

Drug Lictor needs more Lho sticks

>>7166592

Error: Door requires Krun's manipulator appendage to open.

Luckily, you saved both of them.

>>7166596

Individual dispersers corresponding to each drug are in place. No need to switch from one to the other - Each gland is prepared to work at a moments' notice.

>>7166592
This, but slightly more cautiously. Proceed to the bar stealthily and assess the meat's tactical capabilities before engaging in wanton slaughter - weapons, numbers, can they warn others in the area, etc. Still don't want a bunch of arbiters/gangers/whatever after us just yet.

>>7166600

This.

>>7166575
Question: How variable is our ovipositor? I'ts a "put eggs in human to zombify" thing, or does it allows us to create lower-class tyranid lifeforms?
Specifically, can we get rippers or spore-mines?

Decision: this is likely a primary supply with drugs being doled out slowly so as to not waste the Hive's reserves. Drop clues to storeroom's discovery in hopes that it is glutted upon by senseless human-drones, and the supply eliminated more rapidly, or assure chaos by its destruction?

>>7166575
open door with drug-mind to practice. if it does not work, time to RIP & TEAR

>>7166600
This sounds like a plan to me. We can come in after things finish and eat the winners. And the losers. Everyone, really.

Analyze Krun's brain for his source of 'stealer blood.

>>7166575
Consumption of human Krun should release all contained information; request elaboration on where Genestealer blood was acquired.

>>7166618

Ovipositor allows for implantation of both genestealer genetic material, and ripper production. Spore mines are a possibility, albeit with each being roughly the size of a baseball.

First things first- Evaluate what effects each drug has on humans (since some of us don't know)

Second - Evaluate how long it would take to spawn new Tyranid organisms or Lictor Cultists with ovipositor

>>7166624
>>7166600
Hive conflicted; recommend Obscura as deployed drug. Slaught will induce riot, which will undoubtedly attract attention.

>>7166637
anyone up for sporeball?

>>7166626
>>7166627

Ymgarl brood blood obtained from noble house in upper hive, specifically the DeHouvres.

>>7166624
We probably won't want to stick around. The riot is bound to attract attention.

>>7166647
Our goal is to cause a riot. Slaught will help us along that course, while making things look like a normal riot, not tyranid activity.

Obscura then nom away.

>>7166644
Hive archival response;

Slaught: Induces energy, anger in human organisms.

Obscura; Possibly induces comatose or severely limited cognitive state in human organisms.

Stim; Boosts Lictor adrenal production.

Spook; boosts Lictor warp attunement.

Awaiting consensus on next course of action; Flee bar, pump bar full of slaught, or pump bar full of obscura?

>>7166660
>>7166663
Recommend riot avoidance; abandoning bar at this time would mean loss of potential biomass.

>>7166675
I vote slaught, then get out of there. While fleeing also see if our newly augmented warp lobe can now detect any of the other lictors or the genestealer cult.

>>7166675
Hive confirmed; Obscura dispersion, preserve biomass of all bar patrons.

Are the Ymgarls rogue from Tyranid hive influence?

Pump bar full of slaught.

>>7166684

Agreed, better to obscura the bar, consume the Biomass then proceed to the plant, slaught the plant workers. Profit.

Full of obscura. Then OMNOMNOMNOM

>>7166675
Let's go with obscura. When everyone is disabled, we can implant them all with genestealer genetics. Insta-cult.

We want the riot at the powerplant. A riot in the bar will raise alert level prematurely. Recommend revising bathroom ambush to implantation of eggs.

>>7166675
Recommend you intersperse Obscura. The Slaught would be best deployed later at the power plant, the humans will not be doped up and will already be ready to fight, that should be when you add the spark. If Arbites or gangers come to a potentially small riot it will be quickly crushed, and you will risk detection.

>>7166667

This seems like the best idea.

>>7166663

True, but causing a riot too soon could cause unwanted arbites intervention, thereby hampering all Tyranid activities.

>>7166694
This thisy this this this.

>>7166684
A riot makes it easier for us to operate. Amidst a riot, disappearing breeders is written off as unfortunate, but not suspicious.

And don't forget, there are several armed humans in the bar. Taking it by force would be difficult, and obscura only causes a sense of serenity, not comatose indifference to a lictor nomming on your ass.

>>7166684

We can always acquire more biomass, the stock interesting in the bar were the drugs, now it's no longer an objective

Lets return to our original objective, requesting info about hive power grid

>>7166675
Slaught, it'd just be seen as a low hive bar fight

>>7166675
Pump full of Obscura for now. Observe effects. Then locate small building with few inhabitants, and test the effects of both Slaught and Obscura on a human at the same time. Practice telekinesis as much as possible while staying safe and undetected during this time.

>>7166694

Actually forget the Slaught, this seems like a better idea.

>>7166711
Request clarification; effects of Obscura in extremely large and concentrated doses, such as those potentially produced by this Lictor.

This Node thinks that pulling the bar full of obscura then nomming all of it will be more useful. Then turning back to the females in heat, obscuring them too and consuming them. No Whores and No Drugs makes the hive a dull place.

Seconding instant-cult, with caveat that the most dangerous combatants should be targeted, obscura'd, and dealt with first before moving on the rest of the bar.

Obscura is not a sedative. It has an effect much like lho-leaf, except far more concentrated, causing the user to feel peace and excited all at once.

Confirmed: Obscura dispersal. Require consensus on whether to consume or implant disabled bar patrons.

As you make your way up the stairwell from whence you came, you return to the cover storeroom, and the vent with the stowed body, which you then consume. Exploring the ventilation ducts, you locate the central dispersal unit, and begin to pump aerosol obscura into the system. The sounds within the bar at large die down in roughly ten minutes.

>>7166751
IMPLANT. Let the tentacle raep begin.

>>7166751
Implant, followed by telekinesis practice and obscura/slaught experimentation

>>7166751

In favor of nomming male population, implanting female population.

>>7166751
>>7166726
Observational analysis; overdose of obscura serves as effective sedative.

Eggsegsseggs.
Don't eat them, we don't really need the biomass at the moment.
it will be very useful to have a secondary cult when the Hive Fleet arrives.

implant. The start the cult.

>>7166751
Implant all.

>>7166751
Implantation is preferred.

Implant the bar patrons now and the brothel whores later.

Who says we can only have one cult going?

Requesting confirmation of hypothesis that directly attacking targets with frenzon will allow us to manipulate minds.

>>7166766
Hive confirmed. Consume biomass adequate for implantation of remaining population, then proceed.

>>7166779
Exactly. Biomass seems to be easy enough to come by and the cult will just make it easier. Meals on whe- legs.

OP needs to do some nomming of his own, back in a bit.

OH NO WAIT!
FIND A WAY TO IMPLANT THE OGRYNS!
THE OGRYNS!

>>7166799
D:<

Control-implant the bartender first, and then any breeders for maximum information acquisition.

>>7166799
Hive confirmed; Lictor control note undergoes tactical recess of .05 seconds for replenishment.

Vernacular systate; "So how 'bout them Lakers?"

I'll just make my own genestealer cult! With blackjack! And hookers!

Actually, forget the blackjack!

Vernacular systate; "Duuuude.

Our claws are HUUUUGE."

>>7166865

"They can touch anything except themselves... oh, wait."

Implant sedated Bar members, leave to aquire additional biomass to complete mission.

Hive distress relay initiated; receiving strange input from Sectavian V Lictor 25, chemical modulation ineffective. Requesting analysis of.... strange.... visual production....

Small pink fauna, possesed of nasal extention... in... rythmic motion...

Hive node believes it can see the Warp.

Powerful impetus for consumption recorded. Substancel chips.

Vernacular systate; "Whoooah. Bad trip."

Back. Resuming higher functions.

You break through the piping of the ventilation system, emerging into the bar proper. The patrons and employees are all dozing. You move rapidly from one to the other, implanting each with some lictor genetic material. Once all are implanted, you turn your attention to the main door - you can still hear the ogryns outside. They seem to be unaffected by the drugs that are stifling the interior of the bar.

>>7166943
Analysis; can Obscura deployment reach Ogryns in question, or is it blocked by entry door?

>>7166943
Try to find a way to sedate and implant the Ogryns.

>>7166965

Hypothesis: Concentrated blast of obscura-aerosol directly to ogryns' respiratory systems may serve to render them unconcious with remarkable rapidity.

Lure the Ogryns into the Obscura-filled bar and implant them once they're passed out.

>>7166973

They're *Ogryn*-- can we control one of the bar humans to tell them to come inside and submit to a painless medical procedure?

>>7166943
While the ogryns would be great material, i must advice caution here, we should either, bring one, and only one to us, or simply ignore them and get away

Telekinesis the door partially open, mimic a call for them to come inside for a drink.
Expect them to be hostile and wary once they observe the implanted hosts.

>>7166885
what's that from? i recognise it

>>7166993

Hypothesis: While unable to control bar patrons mentally, perhaps the Warp-Lobe will enable a primitive form of telepathy?

>>7166985
Acknowledged.

>>7166986
Hive confirmed. Use flesh hooks to create audible disturbance on door, from ceiling. Continue until Ogryns enter; deliver Obscura directly to respiratory organs from shoulders of each.

>>7166726

Specifically, mimic Krun's voice and tell them to leave their firearms outside

>>7167014
Open the door, then break some glass bottles. Lure them inside with noise.

>>7167023
Hive confirmed if possible.

If we call them into the bar, we should be camo'd and somewhere they won't immediately look. Then we can hit them with the obscura.

Alternately, we can rely upon our new genestealers to come up with their own way to infect the ogryn, and leave in favor of infecting more biomass elsewhere.

Hang on wall above them silently and give them a heavy dose of slaught... Finish off the "winner" who will be weakened by the fight.

Ignore. Targets are paired and subjects prone to violent outbursts, proceed with primary task.

Leave premises through ventilation shafts, lean over edge of roof, blast with obscura.

>>7167021

Confirmed: Hang above door, make noises with flesh hooks until hosts enter, then administer hyper-obscura directly to respiratory systems.

You climb up onto the ceiling above the door, and begin firing your flesh hooks at the door repeatedly. Eventually, the two ogryns outside realize that something's amiss, and enter the bar, weapons at the ready. A quickly-administered dose of obscura renders them unconcious on the floor, snoring loudly.

Implant the pair. Then attempt psychokinetic juggling with weapons for practice purposes.

>>7167061
Agreed. Targets can be infected at a later time by cult, and it is unknown what effects obscura has on them. Proceed to brothel.

Devour one, learn how to opperate firearms.

Implant them both.

Implant them.
Can we upgrade their implant package? They're massive hunks of bio-material, could we augment their natural hides with chitin? What about weapons?

Practice Telekinesis with weapons. See if we can aim hold them steady. If time permits, we can return to the underground warehouse and practice discharging them telekineticly.

>>7167089

You insert your ovipositor down the pair's oral passages one at a time, implanting your spawn deep in their bellies, pseudo-wombs and all. After five minutes of manipulating their weapons telekinetically, you have a working understanding of how your new ability works, as well as the not-inconsequential ability to manipulate human weaponry from afar.

>>7167111

It would be more effective to devour a random bar patron with a weapon than an ogryn. Ogryn do not "operate" firearms, they just happen to be resilient to the possibility of inflicting injury on themselves in that operation.

>>7167072

Suggestion: Follow up with spore mines?

Priority: relocation to the power plant.
Before departure secure habitation against intrusion to prevent accidental discovery.

>>7167129

Disregard. Time delay error.

>>7167128

In fact, sweep the premises just to be sure there isn't someone we missed implanting on an off-chance, and eat them if we did. Leave the bar if nothing is to be found.

Still not sure what Frenzon would do, really.

I think we're done here. Let's get out, and either go to the power plant or wander around the hive repeatedly sneaking into populated locations and unleashing our obscura/implant combo on the residents. We could probably infect thousands in a remarkably short period of time, should we work at it.

>>7167127
Evaluate knowledge acquired from Krun about bar patrons; if any are suggested to have knowledge of human firearms, disregard genestealer protocol for one of them and consume them for detailed knowledge of the firearms the Ogryns possess, as well as any others. Practical understanding of their exact application may prove invaluable.

Time until Fleet arrival?

>>7167160

You spend a good thirty minutes sealing the door sufficiently with your secretions, but do manage to pull it off.

>>7167163

Further inspection reveals nothing but a man dead in the restroom, with his head melted into slag by some form of melta-weapon.

Eat the spare body (as if it needed to be said) and inspect premises for the melta-weapon. Then bail.

>>7167181

Six days until arrival, three days until the influence of Shadow in the Warp comes into effect.

>>7167179

One of the organics, a woman in her late fifties, and obviously not from this part of the hive, is confirmed to have such knowledge. Consume?

>>7167223

Chomp.

>>7167223

Om nom nom.

OMNOMNOMNOMNOM

Inspiration: acquire further data on human feed stores. Investigate possibility of compromising supplies en mass?

Otherwise, proceed to power plant.

>>7167223
Consumption confirm; extrapolate further data on new area of hive from which female human hails.

>>7167228
>>7167236

As you consume the woman, you notice something hidden under her clothes - an amulet bearing a symbol that looks like this: =][=

You also find an inferno pistol on her person.

>>7167209

You consume the man, and return to the main bar.

>>7167262

I like this sudden twist of events.

>>7167262
Reaction: OH SHI

Ah christ...

>>7167262
Evaluate the knowledge you've NOM'D for information on the symbol. Also, take weapon - might be useful now we have rudimentary knowledge of firearms and telekinesis.

!
Swallow the =][= for later regurgitation.

Thoroughly sift through woman's brainmatter.

>>7167262
Expend small amount of biomass to produce organic socket into which inferno pistol can be inserted and telekinetically fired.

Requesting hive consensus; opportunities provided by bar appear to have been exhausted. Proceed to plant, or attempt to seek out other Lictors via warp node?

Get in motion to the power plant while we digest the information.

Seconding the following:
>>7167291
>>7167282
>>7167281
>>7167274

>>7167281
>>7167282

Confirmed: Subject was a low-ranking inquisitor, working on locating a Slaaneshi chaos cult with ties to Krun's drug operations in the area. She hails from off-world, and was working with the support of just a couple of acolytes.

>>7167262

Analyze her brain, why was she after the partially cooked snack in the bathroom?

>>7167291
...we are shoving a gun into a Lictor.

...huh.

Proceed to power plant, recon it.
Approve of mutating a socket for the weapon.

Important: search her memories for eventual allien in the zone.

*allies

>>7167291

Approved. You incorporate the inferno pistol into your tail for later use.

why is the hivemind run by a motherfucking goblin?

Wait....information on the cult.

Speculative: locate cult, agitate it with Slaught?

>>7167314

Location of the Acolytes and suspected cult headquarters?
Cults and Inquisitor-less acolytes make excellent food with useful resources.

>>7167314
Those acolytes might cause problems, but they probably won't be able to accomplish anything in time.

On the other hand, Slaaneshi cult? That sounds potentially serious. We're supposed to be devouring this world, not messing about with demons.

>>7167318

Analyzing... Apparently he was a key player in the Slaaneshi cult. One of the ruling council.

>>7167324

She had heard rumors of a genestealer cult in the upper reaches of the hive, but was focusing on her own mission.

Devour cultists and daemons, become slannictor.

>>7167314

Suggestion: Lie in wait for her acolytes. They will likely come looking for her when they she no longer contacts them, and the last thing we need in Inquisitorial agents poking around our territory.

>>7167340
Hive confirmed; low level chaos results, causes local disturbance, and conserves plant riot until closer to fleet arrival.

Suggest we finally get on to the power plant objective, it will distract acolytes and cultists long enough for us to line up a strike on them if we must.

Course correction: make for the upper reaches, attempt contact with genestealer cult.

Attempt psychic communication?

fuck, no brains to lead to the rest of the cult. informations acquired by inquisitor on the cult?

>>7167344

Acolytes: Locations unknown, but a rendevous was planned roughly 18 hours from now in the upper reaches of the hive.

Cult's supposed location is somewhere near the plant. No further information.

>>7167377

We shouldn't try a long range ping until we have more control.
Inquisitorial psykers may be listening.

>>7167377

Confirmed

>>7167377
Self-correction. Agitate Slaaneshi cultists, endorsed instead.

>>7167377
Risky. Get closer before pinging.

>>7167385
Seconding this.

Let's get out of here. Go grab and implant or devour a few random transients while making our way towards the power plant.

>>7167384
Suggest proceed towards plant as planned, attempt further practice with warp node to allow for close range detection and possible contact of cult.

>>7167417
>>7167410
Confirmed.

>>7167337

The hivemind is secretly one mega-psyker grot.

Keep it under your hat.

>>7167410

Suggestion: Avoid contact with locals if possible, Inquisitorial agents are almost guaranteed to come snooping and we don't want to leave an obvious trail

>>7167427
Agreed. Cultists are thattaway as well.
This bar needs to keep quiet while incubation takes place, so any mayhem needs to be elsewhere.

>>7167410
>>7167417

Confirmed: Proceed towards power plant.

On the way, you implant three more people after gassing them unconcious.

Upon reaching the edge of the slums, you are confronted with a strange vista - a vast pit of garbage, with, at its center, a tremendous power plant, apparently using the refuse as fuel.

Recommend slaughter of Slaaneshi. We don't want them around when the power goes out.

>>7167437

I'd say that we should be at that inquisitorial rendezvous-- we may only get one chance to kill all the acolytes before they discover the Inq is dead and look to find who did it.

Preemptive strike is in order.

>>7167459

Do we know where the workers are lodged?

>>7167463
Rebuttal: any activity they commence in distracts the planetary authorities from the far more dangerous threat The Hive represents. Let us use them.

>>7167478

They disperse into the slums at night; It's midday right now, so you know that the majority of them will be working at the plant.

>>7167477
They could be closing in on that Genestealer, too.

>>7167463
Actually you do. Let the humans kill each other and then eat the remains.

infect some of the workforce, try to find a forman or someone that may posses more knowledge of the plant


go for the cheap joke genestealer cult

>>7167477
Hive confirmed; attempt recon of plant and cult survey, but do not make any aggressive moves. Proceed to acolyte meeting location at appointed time, eliminate acolytes, then return to induce riot.

>>7167485
This. Basically just do the Lord of the Night novel and you win.

>>7167459
Let us commence burrowing! Like when we were but a ripperling tunneling about in a Grox's carcass.

And using it as cover to close distance with the workers.
Priority: identify cultists, and seek out figures who may possess superior understand of the plant's nature.

>>7167477
The acolytes will not break orders, it is not their place to know everything the inquisitor is doing, they will most likely thing the inquisitor is following new leads.

Reccomendation: attempt contact with genestealer cult once in range, continue to create more cults and make sure they are well connected, wait two more rotations, and then proceed with riot enducing.

>>7167515

You're an acolyte who had a meeting planned with every other acolyte at the same time with the head inquisitor.
The head inquisitor doesn't show.
You're in the middle of an investigation into kay-oss and have no orders.

You think they'll just say "oh well" and walk off?

They must die.

>>7167515

Back to the Inquisitor's brain, what were her acolyte's orders? We should at least know if they were supposed to rendezvous sometime before the all-important seventh day.

>>7167551
They'll point fingers at the Chaos slaaneshi cults, as their idiotic faith demands them to, lest they look like traitors.

Let it work itself out.

>>7167565
Agreed. They will find our cat's paw, and either die or spread word.
Both work to our ends.

>>7167514

Confirmed: Burrowing towards the plant, keeping an eye out for foremen and cultists.

As you burrow through the filth, you detect several hollow pockets of considerable size in the vicinity of the plant, several with moving lifeforms inside of them.

>>7167565
Also, we need not expend energy tracking down some weak blanket-wearing prayer jocky.

We have bigger waste to fry.

>>7167579
?
Investigate. Never too much biomass.

>>7167565

Yes, they will.
Then they will find the cult leader that the Inq killed.
Then they will find Lictor DNA.

Bonus: If we plan to use the chaos cult to our advantage, it would be best if the acolytes didn't kill them.
They will have their guard down marginally at the rendezvous site. And probably never again.

Cocks, I have to be off. Suffice to say this has been fucking awesome, and you fags had better archive this for me...

Good work OP.

Laters.

>>7167579
Listen closer.

What does it sound like they are?

If nothing important, sift your way to the centre.

Most terror-inducing way possible preferred. We want pandemonium when the lights go out.

>>7167591

You begin to near the closest one, and when within roughly four meters, can make out the sounds of activity - it sounds like frenzied human reproduction.

>>7167597
We nommed the body, did we not?

Do you really think they have the un-orthodox tools to do a full DNA scan? Even if they do, they would have to go through a stack of paperwork to do it.

Let's either nom the whole body, or leave it be.

>>7167608

Smells like Slaaneshi cultists. Pop in and eat them.

NOMNOMNOM NEED BIOMASS

>>7167608

HELLLLOOOOO SLAANESHI NURSES. Listen to find out how many are in there. Then bust in Kool-aid man style and kill some motherfuckers.

>>7167604
Disagree. We should investigate and infest the plant, preparing it for destruction as the Hive Fleet arrives.
Optimally we could convert the workers into a cult while using the power plant as their base of operations.
We could also seed the garbage with spoor mines later...

>>7167608
BEGIN THE IMPLANTING.

NOM WHAT IS NOT USEFUL.

>>7167608

Quite thoughtful of them to get started, but they don't have their implanted DNA yet so they're just wasting energy. What material is between them and us? Also how far away are the nearest humans to these two?

>>7167628
Yes, the cults.

Never enough of 'em.

BEGIN THE FINAL SOLUTION!

Awaiting consensus: Consume/implant/ignore orgy.

Agreed!
Much as frenzied reproduction is meritorious, their lust for flesh is nothing to our own.

>>7167608

Wait a while longer. Continue observing.

>>7167656
+1 implant

>>7167657
Err, to clarify, consume them.
This location is too insecure to be safe for incubation.

>>7167656
we should implant

>>7167656

Join the orgy (i.e. pop in and start gassing and implanting)

>>7167656

Count how many are in there. Pop in, spray 'slaught and Frenzon. Trollface as they rip off limbs and beat each other to death and eat what's left.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but are several groups of people having orgies in a giant fucking trash pile?

Also they may provide us with knowledge of the plant and the area.

Slaaneshi cultists may still be under the influence of Chaos even post-implantation. The Warp can overtake them as long as they're anything resembling human. Eat them all so they are no longer resembling human, but rather, resembling delicious.

>>7167693
And waste resources?

PAH!

WE NEED TO INFORM THEM THAT WE ARE, IN FACT, GOING TO FUCK THEIR DNA WITH ALIEN BABIES.

Spray combat drugs and everything else to drive them insane and kill each other immediately. Take advantage of the confusion and annihilate the remainder.

RIP AND TEAR

Slaught the cultists. We can eat them even if they're in several pieces.

>>7167680
>>7167703

Confirmed: Consume.

You burrow through the wall, emerging in the candle-lit chamber. Eight preoccupied cultists occupy the room. Within a matter of seconds, all that remains is a pile of severed limbs, heads, and bisected torsos, ripe for the consuming.

Eat Them. We have less than 60 hours of biomass. non even remotely enough

If we decide to mess with them at all, begin with extensive gassing before revealing ourselves. There's no point in letting them know that something else is here.

>>7167656
Join the fun

Bio Gear Solid 4: Lasrifles of the Heretics

>>7167726
Yum yum! Biomass and information!
...
I never knew Vore was this much fun. XD

Also, this was one of several chambers?

>>7167726
Devour.

And as long as we've messed with one location, they'll be on the alert, so we might as well go after the rest.

The best part is that after they freak out because their people are dying, they'll arm themselves and the Inquisitorial acolytes will walk right into it. All we have to do is ensure we're not caught. Win.

Begin eating, and confirm energy reserves/time until fleet arrival/time until Inquisitor rendezvous.

>>7167743
>>7167745

Confirmed: 540 kg of biomass absorbed. Total is now roughly 1300 kg, and energy stores are sufficient to last until the hive fleet arrives.

There are indeed other passages leading away from this one - do you go after the rest of the cult, or leave them to come to their own conclusions?

>>7167748

~6 days until fleet arrival.
14 hours until rendevous with acolytes in upper hive.

>>7167780
Negative. There are enough reserves to last, let the cultists be alert, it will meet our ends later on. Proceed to power plant and continue reconaissance.

>>7167745
Agreed.
Back to our objective.
We learn anything from the former lovers?

>>7167780
Kill'em'all. We can't have CHAOS ruining our plans. Do so by checking each room for anything which may be too much for us. Next room, same procedure. Gas and devour.

Idea: We should telekinese some guard's guns into shooting some workers. Or spray them with slaught.

And spray some of the workers with slaught.

That ought to get tensions up.

Clarification: Can a Lictor worship a particular chaos god of his own volition?

>>7167815

The cult's holdings are quite substantial - they have chambers throughout the entire trash heap, with lower chambers holding more senior members of the cult. The lower levels hold some project that the cult has been amassing resources for for some time.

>>7167780
Eh, screw it, the disappearance of eight people will probably be enough to put them on alert. Let's leave, unless we found out something truly fascinating from nomming their heads.

We can make another genestealer cult out of those whores from way back before we leave for the upper hive.

>>7167825
Agreed, but not right away.

Suggestion: we climb the interior and see about compromising the command structure. Optimally we make them Incubators before working at the destruction of the plant and a riot.

>>7167843
Inspiration: start using Warp, see if we can discern purpose of the project, see if we can bend it to our needs?

>>7167843
More senior members, eh? If we OMNOMNOM a psyker, do we get more powerful warp abilities out of the deal, or just a funny feeling in our digestive lobes?

>>7167864

What do you wish to do, exactly?

>>7167871

Devouring a psyker has a high chance of leading to much more powerful warp abilities, but a more significant warp presence for other psykers to detect. Additionally, psykers are dangerous targets - although the potential gain from their biomass and genetic data is not to be underestimated.

Slaneeshi cult: possible psykers: possible ulterior evolution of nodes.

>>7167871

I believe that's when we transcend into a Lictorthrope.

>>7167843

Going back to the cult council members shot in the bar, did we extract any useful information from him, or was his knowledge lost with the melting of his face?

My god... It all makes sense now...

SLUGQUEST IS TYRANID HIVEMIND

>>7167904

Councilmember's brain was vaporised, no information was salvageable. His tattoos were tasty, though.

>>7167890
I suggest that we burrow our way into the lower chambers, then, and start flooding them with gas. Hopefully we can catch a psyker or two unawares and devour them.

>>7167890
Psychically analyze it, and send what we learn to the hive mind for information. If possible, it would in interesting if the Hive Mind could "hack" it so it's activation was under our control.

Tempting as it is, I think we should pass on consuming the psykers. If they die or are incapacitated the cult will probably break up and thus not be useful to injure the Acolytes.

Let's go poking around and find out what this "project" is, it could be future resistance to the Hive Fleet.

>>7167933
We don't have to eat ALL the psykers. Just one or two. Come on, you know you want to!

>>7167933
>>7167947

Delicate probing of the lower levels reveals one thing of note; preparations are being made for one gigantic drug-fed orgy. Chances are high that a daemonic summoning is being attempted.

HOW THE FUCK CAN THIS LICTOR RUN AND CLIMB WITH NEARLY 1.5 TONS OF BIOMASS INSIDE

I DO NOT EVEN

>>7167962
Negative, the risk of detection is too great.

Query: are any new biomorphs available?

>>7167963
Okay, now I know that we've gotta nom a psyker. They'll be dead soon anyway, and we don't really want demons running around and potentially causing problems for us.

We need to eat some brains in order to find out when the summoning is going down exactly. Sniff around to find someone higher-up and isolated.

>>7167988

Confirmed: Bioplasma, Toxic Miasma, additional chitin (At the cost of chameleonic scales), and egg sacs capable of producing rippers and spore mines are all available.

>>7168008

What effects will our toxic miasma have on humans?

We need toxic miasma and advanced egg sacs. We can save the heavy-hitters and improved armor for later: our chameleon scales are too useful right now.

>>7167963
Let's disengage and let things run their course.
Actually...let's barf up that =][= and leave it in the mess we made upstairs.
Then leave.

>>7167962
lol, yes I do. =]
But my gut says be prudent lest we end up doing the Imperium a favor and wipe out the cult in their stead.
The other hazard is that the psykers are going to probably be highly resistant to our drugs -they are Slaaneshi after all.

>>7168008

We have enough drugs to cause a rather toxic miasma, and chameleon-hiding is useful, sooooo...

Bioplasma sounds delicious. Mmmm, melting through doors.

>>7168025
Agreed! Bioplasma would rock, but it can wait.

>>7168019

Primary effect would be death due to lack of oxygen, due to clogged respiratory passages. Left undisturbed, the bodies would quickly be consumed by mushrooms, which would produce more spores.

>>7168008

Confirm, the summoning will blind the Imperials to our actions and the rosette will speed up the summoning.

>>7168008
Bioplasma sounds good. Rippers sound even better. Let's get both.

>>7168029
Leave the Inquisitorial symbol? I like your style. I do wish we could eat the psykers, though... maybe there will be some sanctioned types in the upper hive to nom?

Eggsac. Scales are too useful to be rid of, Bioplasma isn't really that great for stealth. Rippers and Spore Mines on the other hand would be nice.

We can spawn rippers from corpses yes? And potentially genestealers? I suggest we upgrade ourselves into a full fledged Synapse beast.

This talk of starting a new Genestealer cult...we have SIX days til the swarm gets here and a genestealer baby needs 9 months to gestate. Better to focus attention somewhere more immediately useful.

.>>7168045
Ahh, cool.
Ok, self-correction: Bioplasma and Egg Sacks.
Spores risk tipping off some unusually alert ape that the Great Devourer is incoming, and Bioplasma is useful for destroying metal things like this plant and any particularly dangerous encounters.

>>7168045
Egg sacs.

ALL WITH ME ON RAIN OF FUCKYEAH?

>>7168065
>>7168066

Confirmed: Leave the rosette amongst the bloodslick in the orgy room, develop ripper and spore mine eggsacs. Estimated time until completion: one hour.

WHAT WOULD HAPPEN IF WE WAITED FOR THIS DAEMONIC SUMMONING AND NOM'D THE DAEMON?

we do not need a distress force sent for a probable daemon summoning before the warp storm. We need to EAT them, increase our power, and create a calm right before the Warp-storm. If they summon tonight, we are fucked.

>>7168090
We would NOT want to face a slaaneshi greater daemon.

Stop even thinking about this.

>>7168073

Bioplasma confirmed. Estimated completion time: 30 minutes.

Jump back into the filth and continue burrowing towards the plant?

>>7168090
We'd probably get our fool selves killed, and the hive would not mourn the passing of our stupidity.

>>7168065
If we're good maybe we'll get some Tatoo'd Psykers to nom. I think this can happen when the time's right.

Also the rosette will upgrade the cult's readiness for the Acolytes...and maybe do worse things.

>>7168025
Agreed, Ripper Swarms can be used to help devour more biomass before being reconsumed.

Suggestion: Head to lower levels, consume until finding a human with knowledge of the ritual, and see if that ritual interferes with the mission in any way.

>>7168090

Heartburn, nausea, indigestion, upset stomach, diarrhea.

>>7168105

Isn't this a smaller cult? Wouldn't they be more likely to summon some daemonette hooker to fuck them all to death?

Suggestion: move towards plant somewhat indirectly to learn more and to give growths time to complete.

Time is increasingly on our side.

We should be pumping out some good ole Tyranid pheromones while all this is going on. Let the Genestealers find US. And I think upgrading a synapse node for ourselves is still a good idea. We can have total control over all Lictors, Genestealers, and Rippers in the area to coordinate even larger scale shit.

>>7168102
If those acolytes are half as paranoid as they should be, they'll assume that their Inquisitor is dead and use Inquisitorial powers which they claim to have to the local government to bring dozens of heavily armed men down on the cult, blowing up the power plant if necessary to destroy the demon.

If they're incompetent, well, you're probably right.

>>7168145

Confirmed this

>>7168155
Can we get a synapse node? I didn't think that was in our potential upgrade list.

Perhaps we should take some slanneshi symbol to put to similar use to what we used the inquisitors symbol?

>>7168170
>=D
Yes.
oooh yes. Crafty, crafty little synapse you are.

>>7168169
We have telekinesis and low level telepathy. DOnt see why Synapse wouldn't be possible. Maybe we should eat a psyker first.

>>7168169

Confirmed: Synapse node is available, but will take several hours to mature fully.

>>7168190
Any other Hives agree to start working on Synapse?

>>7168188
I think we should leave messing with Psykers for later.
There's still enough time for things to go wrong, and premature detection is one of the worst.
Once the Warp Shadow arrives, then we start mucking with minds. =]

>>7168190
It's probably worth it to spend them, unless we want to muck around with leaving evidence of the Slaaneshi cult for the Inquisitorial types to find first.

>>7168204

Yes, I've always wanted to be queen bee.

>>7168204
This node agrees. While this organism is a good lone agent, working in accorance with the two(?) other Lictors and a genestealer cult will almost certainly make their mission a success and have the planet ready for feeding.

>>7168204
>>7168215

Confirmed: Synapse node gestating. Estimated growth time: 4 hours.

What would you like to do until your new biomorphs are complete?

>>7168207
>>7168215
Alternative: acquire some Slaaneshi iconography and continue to the power plant.
Growing a synapse node this early will increase our odds of being detected. Once the battle is joined we can upgrade to command and control.

As far as this cult business...I hate to say it but a daemon being summoned is NOT the sort of attention we want. It could potetially lead to Inquisition forces or, worse, Spess Mareens being called in BEFORE the Shadow blocks out the astropaths. I think we should nip this in the bud.

I think we may have to stop the summoning. Psyker brains are a purely icing on the cake sort of thing.

Relocate into the power plant, continue objectives.

Need archive and new thread, we're autosaging

Incidentally OP, this quest is awesome and you should feel awesome.

>>7168252

Someone toss me the archival link so I can link it in the next thread.

>>7168254
Statement of fact recognized, all hail the Great Devourer!

>>7168238

Agreed, any daemons that show up will ruin our plans.

Psykers, Biomass, and COCAINE are bonuses to our safety.

>>7168238
Agreed. However we should find out whether or not it's withing the next two days. If it is later than that time then the warp shadow will make it irrelevant.

>>7168234
Aren't we basically AT the power plant? I thought that the Slaaneshi cult is underneath the trash field around it.

>>7168252
We can't ride the autosage for a while? We're running through threads pretty quick.

Check the brain meats of our devoured cultists- how many more cultists would we need to nom/what would we need to do to stop the warp daemon from being summoned?
