Use TYRANID DIPLOMACY on STARTLED BIOMASS.

His face. I want it.

>>7276728
>>7276706

Elaborate.

>>7276755

Inquisitors are problems. Problems are solved by diplomacy. Tyranid diplomacy involves eating things.

FFFFFFFF-

Just noticed I neglected my title.

Ah well.

>>7276755
I guess combining the two would be talking to him gently and calmly about the merits of the hive. Ask if he can imagine no heaven, no god Emperor above and chaos below, just all the people living in harmony. And if that doesn't work, rip his face off and prance around with it a while.

>>7276770

The Genestealers instantly jump forward, and disembowel the man, before scuttling down the deck towards the alarmed menials.

The Patriarch looks at you.

<We need to beam the rest of my Brood aboard.>

>>7276792

That'd take too long. Remove his head from the rest of his body, do the same to everything else save the genestealers and their patriarch, then munch happily on the Inquisitor's head.

>>7276803
Objection. We need more combat-worthy brood aboard.

>>7276801

<We are unaware of how to operate this machine.>

Regardless of if we have access to instructions from absorbed memories, of course.

>>7276803
Long as it can be eaten like an apple while we go about other matters.

>>7276801
<yes we do>
<but we need control of the ship first>
<was emergency teleport only>
<full teleport requires us to make sure no biomass left to interfere>

And as soon as his 'stealers are out of sight, we use our Rewrite Rippers on the Patriarch. The real point of this little speech is to stall until that happens.

>>7276839

Echoing this sentiment. We're stalling for an opening.

>>7276801

Statement/Falsehood:
<Can't. I could only command them to beam us up, scotty, I don't know how to operate this thing. And now I highly doubt that any human onboard will operate this thing for us..

Suggestion: First run is to beam rippers aboard, secund run genestealers (Patriarch brood), next run rippers again, and so on. Keep it balanced. I don't trust the patriarch.

As the Genestealers clear out the deck, the Patriarch turns to you, his tentacles quivering slightly.

<So, I suppose it was inevitable. You will try to kill me now, I assume?>

He lunges at you, his scything talons aimed at your neck.

>>7276915

Oh shit. Pump ourselves full of adrenaline, fire everything we've got, and shit out any rewrite-rippers we have ready.

Overpower patriarch with telepathy. Simple order, full power:
<OBEY! OBEY!! OBEY!!!>

Get that virus in him!

>>7276933
>>7276943
>>7276948

You leap to the side, narrowly avoiding hid talons, as you try to overpower him mentally. Unfortunately, it's not working. He lands, and turns back towards you, as you spawn a pair of rippers behind your back.

<You don't seem to understand, Lictor. We LIKE being independent of the Hive Mind. We LIKE being our own master. And we don't intend to be melted down for the sake of our genetics.>

>>7276933

Oh yeah, and get the fuck out of his way.

>>7276933
Do this.

Also, nail him with obscura.

The last thing he should hear before the rewrite is

<WE ARE DOOMLICTOR>
<WE DO COCAINE>

>>7276980

Remember that obscura cloud we've been working on? Cut that fucker loose like the rancid fart it is.

>>7276980

Command: Roar "FOR CHEWY, THE OVERMIND, AND FOR THE GREAT DEVOURER!", Charge, bodyslam, shove a synripper down its throat.

>>7277013
FUCK YEAH!

Eat his brain, maintain control of the stealers.

>>7277008
>>7276997

You vent your mass of Obscura at him, but it seems to have no effect, as he continues to advance.

<Do you -really- think your parlor tricks will work on us? Do you -really- think we haven't been anticipating your betrayal at this critical juncture? We have planned for this, Lictor, and you...>

His tentacles flare up, as he prepares to attack.

<Are not prepared.>

>>7277035

Resist urge to piss ourselves. [Do tyranids even have bladders?] Belch out some bio-plasma at him, continue pumping adrenaline into our bloodstream, and wait for an opening.

>>7277035
<you'll find we're full of surprises>

Nail him with the Rewrite Rippers. Let him shank a non-critical part of us and use that as a vector to pump him full of rewrite-virus.

>>7277035
>><You are not prepared.>

This patriarch is officially badass. We will now officially kill this badass and eat him to gain his power over his genestealers and his badassitude. >>7277018
>>7277013
COMMAND: This, again.

>>7277051
>>7277053

<Goodbye.>

The Patriarch lunges, as the pair of Rewrite-Rippers hop off your back, and fly towards him.

<What is thi->

He staggers as the Rippers cluster around his neck, injecting their viral payload, and then fall away, scuttling back to you.

<What... Is this...>

His message to you is erratic, as he falls to the floor, clutching the sides of his neck.

>>7277083

Say nothing. Loom over him and hiss, while continuing to vent obscura.

>>7277083
<Welcome home, brother>

Wait for the transformation to finish.

>>7277083
it's a trap!

>>7277083
<This is the future.>
Step on his head, non-lethally grinding its face into the floor.
<This is superiority.>
Proceed directly to awesomeness.

>>7277097

He gurgles, staring up at you as his cranial circuitry is rewritten into a copy of Chewy's. He transmits one final message to you, before he is completely overcome.

Hatred.

>>7277035

...Patriarch Illidan?

>>7277119
FFFFFFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK YEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAH

>>7277119

Find the pictured button. Press it.

>>7277119
Before he is overcome, transmit our own final message.

Satisfaction.

>>7277135

His eyes fade momentarily, then reignite, as he slowly stands up, the blood vessels around his neck already clotting. He looks at you searchingly.

<... Papa?>

>>7277120

I knew -someone- would get the reference.

>>7277160

<Welcome back. Do you like your new form?>

>>7277173

The Chewiarch holds up one of his claws, examining it.

<... Big now?>

>>7277173
This. But we also go over and affectionately ruffle his head-spikes with one of our claws while we do it.

Then we fill him in on the situation.

>>7277190

This. Give the little guy an update, while retrieving the dead inquisitor's head to chew on.

>>7277190

His tentacles fidget happily.

<What... What Papa want done?>

Observation: This thread has taken a not-entirely-unexpected turn for the D'AWWWWW.

Can Chewy v2 give us an update on how the two genestealers we brought up with us are doing?

>>7277203
<new friends for you to play with>
<two of them here>
<more back on world>
<we will bring them up to play with you>
<when we finish ingesting remaining biomass on this ship>
<for now>
<enlightenment>

We exchange our psychic knowledge, to gain any tricks the old Patriarch may have had while giving Chewy our own.

>>7277218

<Brood clearing ship. Soon be ready for rest of brood.>

He examines his claw again, running it along the metal of the wall next to him to test its sharpness.

<... What now?>

>>7277203

Chemical Impulse: [Satisfaction/DAAAW I'm so proud you're so cute omigod we're so great!]

Command: Message-

<We will fight together to control this battlebarge, and we will triumph together. And then we will kill the humans, and be consumed by the Great Devourer, where what makes us will live together forever...>

<My child.>

>>7277228
Can the battle barge land on the surface?

And for that matter are there any other Imperial craft in orbit that we might want to swat?

>>7277222

Exchanging...

Synaptic range extended to 10 mile diameter.

You hear a clapping sound coming from up above. The clapping of tiny, human hands.

>>7277228

Command: Redirect previous post (>>7277235)

>>7277235
<also, once we clear battle barge>
<we will go back to the underhive>
<and go fishing together>

>>7277244

That's the JustAsPlanned kid, isn't it? Do we have to look up?

>>7277244
Ah, the loli daemonhost we ran into a while back

<hello, small one>
<do you want COCAINE?>
<did you come to play with us>
<and our son?>

>>7277244
>>7277258

Statement: How the [confusion/FUCK] did that demon get onboard this battlebarge? We're in space!

>>7277258

Correct.

What do?

>>7277266

Don't look up. Radiate frustration.

>>7277266
<we know who and what we are know>

>>7277266

Command: Look up.
<What do you want from us now? My child and I are busy. We have a planet to prepare for consumption.>

>>7277273
>know

now. Damn it.

>>7277273
>>7277275

The girl and her doll float down to you, the little girl smiling happily, as the doll speaks.

"What, can't a messenger of the Changer of Ways just sit back and enjoy the spectacle? What makes you think I'm here for anything?"

>>7277273
Anyway, continuing from here:

<we are son of Mother Hive>
<we are father of Chewy>
<we are consumer of worlds>
<we are change and war and plague and lust>
<we are hope and honor and pride and love>
<we are DOOMLICTOR>
<who is what>
<what is who>
<now and always>

>>7277294

<Your presence is enough.>

Start digging through the Inquisitor memories we've absorbed to find relevant information.

>>7277294
See >>7277314

>>7277294

<Your kind always interferes. It is in your nature to manipulate. It is your path. Your purpose. You cannot create any purpose of your own, for all your mutability- we two can change so much more than you ever could. Must you continue to interrupt our intimate moments together? We are about to be very busy tyranids.>

>>7277315

The Inquisitor's memories hold no knowledge of this particular warp-entity, but her face is familiar.

I knew I should have paid attention to every thread of this quest, then I'd have known when this Liberi Gothica character showed up.

<You can operate teleporter, small one?>

>>7277325

The little girl gasps, as the grox doll speaks.

"Don't mind us, then. We're here to observe your... Spawn."

>>7277336

DANGER WILL ROBINSON, DANGER.

>>7277336

Statement: That is a [parasite/Daemonhost], fellow Hive Node. It is not our friend.

>>7277344
<you come to play with our son?>
<chewy, do you want to play with her?>

If he says yes, then by jove it's tea party time!

>>7277346
>>7277347
So I take it that in 40K, little girl bad touches tentacle faced monster. Guess (cautiously) ignoring her until we have enough of the brood aboard is in order then?

>>7277344
<AS I was saying. . .>

Doomlictor and Chewy beam up more genestealers. Repeat until all but five genestealers are on-planet for sampling from the hive. Proceed to fuck up battlebarge. Proceed to one-shot the spaceport to take out khornate's and remove the possibility of biomass fleeing the planet.

<We'll be together forever soon, child. Now, we go to work. For each other and for the Great Devourer!>

>>7277362

Chewy hisses at the girl.

<No time for games! Time to devour!>

>>7277365

That seems wise. Keep one eye on her while going about our business, which as of this moment consists of eating brains to learn how to work the teleporter.

>>7277344
<join us in [family/communion/mind], then?>

>>7277376
<devour is game, son>
<is BEST game>
<but before play devour with her>
<must find out rules>

>>7277372
>>7277383

You proceed to nom the brains of the crew, and begin to assemble a working knowledge of the teleporter.

The little girl and her doll float after Chewy as he examines the servitors curiously.

>>7277400
Query Overmind: Do we know how to work the weapons on the battlebarge yet, or do we need to consume the servitor? We ought to make sure that nothing is leaving by the space-port.

>>7277413

You know how to operate the servitors themselves, which control the weapon systems.

>>7277400

Once we're confident we can operate the teleporter, begin beaming up genestealers - leaving a handful behind for consumption and reintegration, of course.

>>7277400

Query Hive Nodes: give girl/daemonhost designation: Alma?

We need to eat at least one genestealer ourselves.

>>7277433

Confirmed: Genestealers arriving aboard the teleporter in groups of 4 at a time.

>>7277433
Then start beaming up some additional food for the stealers, for the trip to the next system.

>>7277448

One would think the ship's crew will suffice for this purpose.

>>7277420

Command: Use Battlebarge to GENTLY take out the space port, grounding the ships and, if possible, Lance-striking the Khornate cultists.

Also: Can we see a list of the weaponry this battlebarge is equipped with?

>>7277468

Querying...

Ryza Pattern Plasma battery and Titanforge Lance Battery.

>>7277468

Command vessel to present a list of useful future lance-targets, as well. Ones that are marked as "high priority defensive locations" in the Human language.

>>7277491

Querying...

Three Orbital defense outposts exist slightly beyond the edges of the hive.

>>7277491
Once we do this, why not start shooting things now?

Although we probably are going to want to have something to let the fleet know that the barge is ours when they show up. Then they can nom it, instead of trying to blow it up.

>>7277506

Are any other ships in orbit?

>>7277513

Negative.

>>7277512

Are you planning to have Chewy and his brood be reabsorbed by the Fleet, or send them out to seed new systems?

>>7277506

Query: Definitions of these weapons- range of area affected, strength of shot, armor penetration, that sort of thing.

Oh, and when we're done with that, use the minimum amount of force to ground the ships in the shipyard, then the maximum amount of force to destroy the planetary defenses without wrecking too much biomass.

>>7277530

We seeded Chewy's original template into our spawn on the planet, as I recall. Why waste a perfectly good genestealer cult?

>>7277537

Also lightly bludgeon the adjutant-servitor (this appears to be how you accelerate its function if these memories are correct) until it disgorges a complete inventory of our barge's own weapons.

>>7277537

The only ranged weaponry is the series of plasma batteries.

They are able to vaporize exceedingly specific targets from orbit.

>>7277569
Well, let's deal with the planet's orbital defense batteries first.

Hit them all at the same time, and as soon as possible.

Then start going through our assorted absorbed memories, and the databanks of the barge, and using that to pick out any other targets that would finish the job of removing any local capacity for resistance.

>>7277569

Engage target acquisition on all plasma batteries.
Annihilate with extreme prejudice.

>>7277599

Confirmed.

You feel a massive surge of power pulse throughout the ship, as the batteries begin to charge in preparation to destroy the orbital emplacements.

The girl floats behind you, silently observing as you deftly manipulate the ship's servitors.

"You have come a long way since we started observing you, Tyranid." The Grox doll says. "Acquired abilities that are above and beyond the norm for your species. You intrigue us."

I wish we had original Chewy here. Imagine what he'd do with this fucking ship.

>>7277633

COMMAND: Reflect on all we have done in the four and some days we have existed as the batteries charge, ready to demolish further resistance to the Great Devourer.

>>7277667
<we are glad to be of amusement>
<if wish to continue amusement>
<gladly extend you dinner invitation>
<stay with us forever>
<be amused forever>
<be CHANGING forever>

>>7277689

What do you wish to query information on?

>>7277667

<That's nice.>
Continue watching as the plasma batteries prepare to dissolve some motherfuckers.

Query information re: Our development rated against standard Tyranid development. Our capabilities against standard Tyranid development. Compare and contrast pros and cons for rejoining the hive against existing as an independent entity.

>>7277697
>>7277707

The girl sighs, as the Grox goes silent, observing as the plasma batteries near completion in preparation to fire.

"You could join us, you know."

>>7277737
<join you?>
<[confusion/curiosity/apprehension]>

>>7277737

Has to be said.

>>7277722

>Our development rated against standard Tyranid development.
Hyperadaptive organism, compiled a list of genetic alterations in the course of a few days that would take the typical Hive Fleet years to implement on a mass-scale.

>Our capabilities against standard Tyranid development.
A Zoanthrope, Lictor, Biovore and Norn Queen all rolled into one.

>Compare and contrast pros and cons for rejoining the hive against existing as an independent entity.
Pros: Return accumulated genetic data to the Hive Fleet, likely giving rise to the next step in the evolution of Warrior-derived Tyranids.
Cons: Just your survival as an individual.

>>7277737
<I suppose we could do such a thing, being creatures of free will.>

Watch the plasma batteries prepare to fire, remember back when we plasma blasted a cultist leader and ate her brains.
Look at our child. Proceed to remember the first time we saw Chewy, as a ripper.

>>7277776
Accompany Chewy to next planet, then.

Leave a more thorough genetic transcript of ourselves and all of our accumulated knowledge behind for Mother Hive to devour and assimilate.

>>7277776

...How hard would it be to generate a ripper containing a copy of our genetic code to date?

>>7277776
Query: Return to Hive's effect on Hive's ability to overcome enemy forces and conquer enemies across the galaxy.

>>7277795

The girl smiles, as the Grox continues.

"Well, you won't have that free will of yours for long. Once the Hive Fleets come into range, you'll be subsumed back into the Hive Mind."

>>7277806
>>7277809
>>7277812

Such a Ripper would be little more than a ball of pure genetic data, unable to defend itself, and would take roughly an hour to create.

>>7277822
<we will have our cake>
<and omnomnomnom it too>
<leave [copy/template/self] here>
<follow son there>

>>7277839

And how hard would it be to teleport it to one of the hives we established on the planet?

>>7277839
What if we stuff that into something a bit more durable?

Say, a warrior?

Or, given the lack of remaining opposition down below, we task one of our nests to make a Carnifex and then put the info in that?

>>7277822
<Guess as beings of free will, it'd be our choice to stay here if we wanted to be devoured by the Hive Mind after all. If we weren't half sure you were lying to us in the first place about losing our free will, as we should already be in range of the Hive Fleet, if the planet is already under effect of the Shadow of the Warp. Considering you're a demon who's nature is to be even more manipulative than most daemons in addition to all that. No offense.>

Continue to watch plasma batteries. Proceed to emit a feeling of satisfaction when the plasma hits the planet.

>>7277854

The best you could hope to do is entrust said ripper to a genestealer or two, port them back down, and hope for the best.

The girl looks around boredly, as the Grox speaks, a flaming clock forming above the two.

"Time is running out, Tyranid. The Hive fleet arrives in less than ten hours, and with it, your doom."

>>7277863

Pft. Carnifex? Hive tyrant.

>>7277863

Agreed. If possible, placing ourselves in anything less than a carnifex is nonsense. Our avatar/genetic data must be capable of defending itself until it is returned to the Hive.

There is the slight con that our Avatarfex may eat the Hive or do something equally radical, if it has a will like our own.

This is...

... an acceptable risk.

>>7277875

The batteries, finally reaching full strength, emit a pulse of fatal energy towards the planet's surface. From the bridge, you are able to watch as they impact the planet's surface in three bright flashes of light, as the orbital defenses become a mass of disarticulated atoms.

>>7277897

So we've decided? Produce a copy of our genetic template to return to the planet and get integrated into a carnifex/tyrant/OtherLargeTyranid, then go a-wandering?

>>7277881

<Doom to you is fulfillment and transcendence to us. We will give back to what has created us, with all we have gained from our time of existence. Everything we have done has been for the hive- once out of its control, now out of choice. Why would we chose not to become one again with the Hive? We would become many, and be capable of so much more as the entirety of the Tyranid species instead of just the two of us.>

>>7277881
Oh, by the by, those Holocaust mines we were producing?

We do have one of our Daemon-killing specials on us, right?

Just in case.

>>7277917

Statement: I dunno. I'd only go a-roaming if it was to further the purpose of the Hive Fleet, constantly giving back to it with copies of ourselves implanted into critters we've created and left to be consumed. We are for each other, and we are for the Hive. In many, One.

>>7277950

But of course. We do exist to pave the way for the hive, after all.

>>7277919

You have exactly one.

The Grox chuckles, as the little girl looks at you nervously. "You know, we are not diametrically opposed, you and us. You could become part of something so much bigger than your 'Hive Mind', Tyranid. Think of all you could do, with the abilities of Tzeentch at your... Clawtips, I suppose."

>>7277950
Well, I mean, that's basically the plan.

We'd be accompanying Chewy2 and his genestealers to seek out new life and new civilizations, boldly go where no Tyranid has gone before, and then OMNOMNOMNOM everything and send the info back to Mother Hive before moving on.

>>7277958
< I will find this Tzeentch, and I will devour him >

>>7277958
<enlighten me>

We and Chewy hit it with Localized Shadow in the Warp, as hard as we possibly can. Holocaust bomb to the grox doll, and OMNOMNOM on the organic part of the daemonhost.

[sudden surge of ambition]
Are we really destined to be EATEN BY HIVESHIPS? Shouldn't we BECOME OUR OWN HIVE?

>>7277989

As the pair of you activate Shadow of the Warp, the pair begin to flicker.

"Consider our proposal, Lictor. You and we both know that your will is too strong to submit to reabsorbtion."

With that, the pair are gone.

>>7278016

Look at our child. Smile on the inside. Project a feeling of contentment.

Query Overmind: Is that the last of the planetary defenses? Have the Nobles in the spaceport been grounded?

>>7278016
Well, alright then.

Before the rest of the fleet gets here, let's take our boy on a fishing trip in the Underhive. We know there's at least one fish worth catching there.

>>7278047
>>7278059

Confirmed: Planetary defenses have been destroyed.

Requesting next course of action: Head off into space with Chewiarch, or return to planet's surface to spend what time is left terrorizing the populace.

>>7278083

Send a package back down to the planet containing our genetic code, with instructions to keep it safe in something like a carnifex or tyrant guard until the hive fleet arrives, then strike off on our own.

>>7278083
OFF TO THE STARS it is!

>>7278083
Devote five hours or so to our boy's fishing trip.

Then leave our genetic material implanted in that huge fucking fish and beam back up to the battlebarge. We have other worlds that need COCAINE deliveries.

>>7278108
Send a package with Grey Knight geneseed too.

Maybe someone should salvage Chewycron's remains? He's necron after all, could have regenerated by now.

I have a dream. A dream of converting this entire ship into a biological organism. And traveling from star to star, eating, and growing, and eating, and growing.

>>7278135
He's in some other dimension, and presumably still alive since OP alludes to a future quest starring him.

>>7278083

Command: Make sure biomass is grounded. Send down genetic coding with some Genestealers. Have Chewy tell them that genetic coding is the future of the Hive Fleet, and to look after it like how it's truly worth. Send the down. Look at ChewyArch. Wish him Happy Birthday. Fly off into the depths of space in your pimpin' Inquisitorial Battlebarge. Sing a little song inside.

>>7278143
And then DOOMLICTOR was DOOM HIVE FLEET.

Command: Combine this >>7278152

With THIS: >>7278118
We got us a big'un to capture.

>>7278116
>>7278118
>>7278135
>>7278143

Confirmed: Send Ripper with all accumulated data back to the planet with a trio of Genestealer guards for reintegration into a more... Sturdy organism, and then set out towards the galactic core.

A little voice rings in your auditory sensors, almost mockingly:

"Kryptman."

>>7278183
I do not understand

>>7278205

Before the Shadow in the Warp engulfed the planet, the Grey Knights sent word of your existence to Inquisitor Kryptman, the single human in the Imperium with the most knowledge of Tyranids.

>>7278223
Well, is he in-system?

If so, let's fake up a transmission and invite him aboard.

Or alternatively beam our Holocaust mine into his engine core and then detonate it.

Whichever works.

Okay, time to play it cool, like nothing is amiss...

>>7278183

Pose like a motherfucker with Chewy, 'cause shit just got more real than it has ever been.

Pic related. That, with Chewy.

>>7278257

He's not in-system, and he never sent a reply to the Grey Knights.

But he knows of you.

>>7278183
I believe someone suggested we beam a holocaust mine into his ship's engine and blast it? Let's go with that, take out one of the biggest threats to the Tyranids since Prince Yriel was born.
Ain't teleportarium's a wonderful thing?

Kryptman? SHIT SHIT SHIT, that could stop us right here. Check ship's sensors, what other ships are around?

>>7278298
Well, he's in for a hell of a surprise.

I suggest we seed copies of ourselves on several planets before settling down on one to cause havoc ourselves. Making sure the copies do not have knowledge of the location of the other copies (and, if possible, knowledge that they are copies).

>>7278298
Who exactly said his name just now?

QUERY: Is the ship's Navigator still alive? If not, which stealer consumed him?

>>7278298
Query: Wait, who or what just said Kryptman's name?

So Kryptman is not in system, but knows of us and is contacting us?

He's probably pulling another Kryptman Gambit to lock our hivefleet here. Our new mission is to locate Kryptman...

And devour him.

>>7278325

You didn't recognize the voice.

>>7278317

This is quite possible, the ship has several escape pods that could be used to seed worlds, and you could generate the Broodnests necessary to begin cloning yourself.

>>7278349

There is no evidence that Kryptman himself is contacting you.

>>7278352

Turning escape pods into seed pods? BRILLIANT.

Let's make the biggest version clone of oursevles as we can, send it back to the planet, and gtfo already.

>>7278352
Yeah, we should probably leave a warning for Mother Hive about the "Kryptman may try to fuck with us" thing.

Now, for lots of extra shits and giggles: can we synthesize a pair of vocal cords with which to fake the Inquisitor's voice?

...think we could try dropping one on Terra itself?

I mean, we have a battle barge, and codes. We might be able to get into the Sol system without being insta-gibbed.

>>7278365
OK, I misread your post then.

>>7278395
Very This. Mimicking an influential inquisitor's voice could help us get things done.

We've decided to avoid reabsorption in favor of leading the HiveMind to new worlds. We've crippled the world below and all but tied a pretty bow on it. Our next objective should be to locate the next world and start over again.

>>7278406
No, that would be way too risky at this point in time. If we had a spare battlebarge (lawl) we might attempt it but as it is it would be best to hold off on that.

>>7278365

Query: How or what did we just hear say his name? In any case:

Fellows. Space travel takes time. You know what we can do to fill the gap?

Make some fucking bugs.

How many carnifexes, rippers, zoanthropes, gaunts, gargoyles, harridans, biovores, raveners, and other assorted beasties we could fit on this ship lads?
. . .
My God.

We have a teleportarium, and the knowledge to work it.

Teleport reproducing tyranids and a modestly sized battle group- some thousands, to planets with a lictor, tagging the planet for later consumption by the Hive fleet.

>>7278395

You could synthesize vocal chords... Why?

>>7278434
We have an Inquisitorial battle barge. It'll be a lot easier to infiltrate Imperial systems if we can more convincingly fake the presence of an Inquisitor on it.

Why not?

>>7278424

...

Tyranid Rogue Trader?

My god.

That may be as good a place as any to end Lictor Quest.

>>7278424
Can Nids teleport?

If the answer is "no", then why don't we leave a copy of some info on the teleportarium as an extra something for Mother Hive?

>>7278464
Our Christmas gift to the Imperium: TYRANIDS FUCKING EVERYWHERE AAAARRRRGHHH

It's just what they've always wanted.

>>7278464

I love you man. And I'm sorry I haven't gotten to work on that picture yet- as I got distracted yesterday, and proceeded to get pretty wasted off of pinot noir and beaujolais today. But I'll keep that idea out there- it's written down, so I've got it under my list-of-things-I-want-to-draw list.

Also: I believe we have one last thing we wanted to do- fishing trip with Chewyarch. Gonna bag us that thing down in that thar underhive. Got a few hours to kill before the Hive fleet comes in, right?

>>7278494

I think Lictor Quest is at its end, at least for the time being, gents.

Chewy Quest will begin in the next few days.

http://suptg.thisisnotatrueending.com/archive/7276695/

Merry Christmas, you glorious bastards.

>>7278464
Might be. Planet will be CONSUME BY HIVES, as we ride off into the sunset, brofisting all around while playing a double guitar solo with Chewy #2.

>>7278521

You are the best dude in all of dudedom.

>>7278521
Merry Christmas!

And thanks for the quest, it's been fun.

>>7278516
Well, maybe drawfag up the fishing trip too.

We're using any surviving nobles as bait.

>>7278536
>>7278551

It's been my pleasure, ladies and germs.

If someone would care to update the archive periodically before the thread 404's, it'd be appreciated.

Specifically, ideas for Chewy Quest/future Lictor Quests.

>>7278521

MERRY CHRISTMAS YOU MAGNIFICENT BASTARD YOU!

I had a lot of fun with this, man. The quests are one of the reasons I love /tg/ so much. You make it happen. YOU ARE THE MAGIC, MAN!

Take it easy, TMFG

>>7278565
For ChewyQuest: we end up on Commoragh.

The whole thing is some combination of On The Road, Fear and Loathing In Las Vegas, and Transmetropolitan.

>>7278586

I think I just creamed at the idea of Chewy in comorragh. The sheer slaughter. . . But before that, Chewy's in the warp, and has to kick some ass until he hits a daemonworld, which is partially in realspace, partially in the warp- and then make the leap into reality.

>>7278586
As long as Chewy emulates Thierry Nguyen and dies laughing of explosive scrotal failure while raping tens of thousands of Eldar to death, I'm fine with that.

Also, here's a question: just how fucked is the Imperium courtesy of DOOMLICTOR?

>>7278633
Probably not much. It's too mindbogglingly large. We might cost it a few subsectors though.

>>7278637
I was thinking more along the lines of "we just gave the Nids Grey Knight geneseed".

>>7278646
Still not much. They might end up cloning psychic Warriors though...

>>7278646
Meh, they probably had it pretty early on. At some point in time, a location with GK's on it was probably attacked.

If Doomlictor plays it smart though, I think he can keep on trucking through the Imperium, getting world after world swallowed up through his awesomeness.

>>7278690
You know what we totally have to do?

Set things up so that if you were to look at the planets we devour against a starmap, it reads out our motto:

<we are DOOMLICTOR>
<we do COCAINE>

Thanks for running this. It's been great, even if I only made about half the threads.

Doomlictor cruising the stars, only occasionally stopping at planets and either harvesting biomass or dropping off a clone of himself, is a great image to leave off on.

Someone do me a favor and update the archive, I am ignorant of how to do so.

I'm watching the Matrix trilogy atm, on Revolutions, so I'll still be around for... About an hour.

Is Kryptman excommunicate traitoris at this point in time?

...Damn it, we were supposed to go fishing with our son after awesomely big fish. Damn it.

And...this is the only time I have ever been emotionally torn between 'commiting suicide for the greater good of death-bugs' or 'continuing a life of drugs, hive-bringing and crazy-death as Rogue Trader DOOMLICTOR.'

>>7278898

Tell you what, I'll run a mini-quest tomorrow so you guys can have your goddamn father-son v. giant fucking fish showdown.

Sound like a plan?

>>7278795
sup/tg/ auto-updates every couple hours. If a thread dies naturally instead of hitting autosage while still active, it generally catches all the posts.

>>7279008

Ah, good to know.

So, fishing trip on the morrow, /tg/? Y/N?

>>7278986
For one possible ending. For the other one, you better prepare Lictor Quest II: IN SPAAAAAACE

>>7279044

Chewy Quest comes first.

Lictor Quest II... We'll see. I guess it'll depend on the level of demand.

Fuck. Yes.

>>7279067

Thanks for the bump, kind sir.

I personally find it ironic (I totally didn't plan this) that the OP contains Chewy's original and final biological forms.

This Node wants Father Son fishing time so hard he can taste it. Anyway, it would be fun to see if we can reel the big one for chirstmas morning.

>>7279104

Then it will be done.

>>7279080
I love it how you said 'Chances of Chewy are Slim to None' last thread, and the major thing we did is bring Chewy back, for father-son bonding.

Also, DOOMLICTOR fishing is awesome.

>>7279136

If the players can find a way to get around my edicts that I didn't forsee, then they deserve to reap the rewards of their cleverness.

Still ain't the original Chewy, though.

He's our second son. The one that didn't have to get messily forced into the warp.

>>7279226

Yeeeeeaaaah, I'm still trying to figure out how that necrodermis of his is going to affect things in a dimension where it's more or less anathema to EVERYTHING.

Merry Christmas you all, this is the last thread I look upon before letting sleep take me. I'll be back to see the adventures of Rogue Trader DOOMLICTOR soon, I'm sure.

>>7279245
Did you give The Warp....Cancer? =D

>>7279478

I have no fucking idea what effect Chewy suicide-bombing the warp had.

Although I can almost guarantee you that Chewy Quest will open with you fighting a fucking Lord of Change.
