The facility is in a panic, agents rush from point to point, struggling with stacks of paperwork and files. You see several people begin creating a line in front of a small device with a slit on the top for paper as they feed files on various people or events into it several pages at a time. There is a short flash with each one, and a small puff of smoke. Bellow researchers haul the results of autopsies and dissected bodies into a compact crematorium as the fires of the furnace quickly build, and in the warehouse guards rush to load crates of medical equipment and other goods into the waiting armored trucks.

Agent Yune walks into the office, and the door creaks from the excessive pressure of his new prosthetic arm. “What’s all this about? I didn't think you would react so dramatically over the test results, but-“
He trails off as he looks at his boss as his legs begin to shake, and then buckle under him. Yune rushes to the man as he collapses over his desk. Needle sized pinpricks cover the back of the man’s neck, and he slides to the floor, sending a stack of papers scattering across the room. The sheets of paper begin to swirl in the air, becoming jagged and discolored as they do.

Lyle stuffs his pockets with extra ammunition and grenades, checking each quickly to ensure everything is in order. He looks up as he lines his privy jacket with ballistic plates and weapons. “I know some guys, I can have them bring the skiff around.”

Dillon looks confused. “Who?”

“Good guys, I trust ‘em. Don’t worry.”

Dillon hesitates. “Alright, they can pick up the skiff and wait for us then, but they better be on time.”

On the roof of the hotel there is a small landing pad, and a small vertical air car sits waiting, its thrusters roaring as it waits. Lyle gets into the back of the taxi and holds up his gun as Dillon knocks on the windshield.
"I'm really sorry mate, but we kinda need this at the moment." Lyle says. Dillon opens the door and the man gets out, shaking. Dillon hands him a credit chip.

"My friend's not sorry, he's an asshole, but I actually am. The credits should cover it." He says. He gets into the front seat and Jackob jumps in as the car takes to the air. The man lunges down at the chip to keep it from flying away, and scrambles to the door as the air car quickly accelerates towards the BFI cover building.

The star of Tau Ceti has peeked past the celestial twin of Gemini, and then quickly ducked back under the horizon, and the lights of the city illuminate the darkness like a giant lite bright. Lyle pulls out a small controller and looks at the screen, adjusting the settings before clicking a button.

There is a distant rumble, and a window in the hotel explodes out into pieces as a small missile streaks into the air, and then into the roof of the BFI building. Sirens and alarms begin to go off not soon after, and the air car dives into the rising smoke.

Oh right. Duh.

For a long time I was thinking poor Lee was being nonconsensually cyborgized by the Union. But I didn't connect the dots with this new revelation of human experimentation that he might be here instead.

We didn't see him on the camera feeds though.

Indiscriminate bombing is a no-no.

Uh... I don't think he was implying they would get him back.
I figured he's saying research him, and maybe turn him into another agent like Lyle.

we can finance some anti gov'ment groups anonymously instead so that there is nothing connecting us to it

Plus I prefer the calculated scheming type of revenge personally. But I still wouldn't take it out on just any random human. As leader of a civilization, we have to be responsible.

The sheets of paper warp and twist their forms as their wings buzz and jitter in the air. Tiny blades sprout from them and legs twist and crackle from the smooth form of the paper. The white surface streaks with red and dark greens. Yune swings his new metallic arm out at the amorphous cloud of drones, swatting at them in vain before turning back to the door. Tinny daggers jab into his neck and along his limbs, and his feet drag along on the floor, and ten he trips to his knees, and then collapses to the ground.

He hits the ground with a boom, and dust covers the small office as ceiling tiles drop down around him. There are screams outside and the sound of spreading flame.

A lone drone remains behind in the security room to watch the monitors over the shoulders of two board looking humans. The people on the monitors are rushing back and forth in confusion and panic, and you make note of the layout of the building and the positions of the guards, sending the data to Lyle.

A moment later, there is a loud buzzing, and the two guards look in panic to the console, and then to each other.
"Shit, is that a missile?" One shouts, followed by a white flash and a wall of fire. Your fly, and half the top floor, is gone.

Yune is psychic, so no. The humans can't be allowed to have them, not even compromised psychics.

Every test subject has to be destroyed, their severed heads stuffed in a sack.

Your flies creep in through the air ducts of the labs, and you find the human researchers sending bodies into a furnace, shoveling chunks of thought shell in like coal. From your new vantage point you can now see the strange lump of meat along the side of the room. It is a massive creature, running the length of the lab, and a decent piece of the tail has clearly been severed. On the sides are two massive arms, each nearly as long as the creature is and ending in fan-like hands covered in webbed, folded skin. On its back is a massive shell covered in tubes and ornately carved horns, with worn looking cloth tied between them. Holes mark the shell where dissection efforts were made, more like expeditions into the girth of the creature, and its head is little more then a mouth, a massive circular funnel of teeth, with four tentacle-like tongues coiled beside it, and a set of three eyes on stalks on either side and the top of the funnel mouth. A portion of brain, the full size of a human, sits on a table beside it, and a researcher quickly grabs the table and rolls it over to the furnace where they use a small crane to chuck it into the fire.

Apart from the Valen body, you note at least six Ceph, and nearly a dozen human bodies of seemingly random appearance and age, and several sets of Taidaren triplets in large vacuum sealed bags hanging along the wall. The bags shake suddenly, and several researcher fall over. One lets out a shout as the chunk of Valen brain falls onto him, engulfing him in gelatinous gray matter. A klaxon sounds in the facility, echoing through the halls, and the other researchers begin digging out their companion from the lump of brain.

Bellow in the containment area, you watch as solders move from cell to cell with researchers at their sides. Some of the patients have become active, and violent, whooping and shouting as they claw at the door. The guards put most of them down quickly, with several of the unresponsive ones being taken on stretchers out to the waiting trucks.

The lights flicker and the ground shakes, and you can hear several loud clicks as the doors begin to open. Hunched human forms leap from the cells, pouncing on one of the researchers like an animal. The floor fills with the sound of gunshots and insane screaming.

In main medical your flies find a number of researchers looking over an ongoing procedure using a large machine of some kind. As your drones near it, you detect an incredibly faint source of tachyons, although the signal is pitifully faint.

"Output is at maximum already, we need to lower it slowly or we could damage the equipment!" One of the techs says.

"Just do it quickly. We need time to pack up the device. We've already had enough problems with the level of output burning out the systems, we can't have it get damaged moving it to a new site." A human in a lab coat says.

"Yes, doctor. fifty percent now."

You watch as the already pathetic signal strength peters out like the last gasps of air from a deflating balloon, and several guards enter as the machine opens. You see Lee sitting in the chair.

"Please follow the guards. They will escort you out to one of the waiting trucks. We will be departing ahead of schedule." The doctor says over a microphone. Ryan massages his temples as a lab assistant removes several electrodes from the side of his head, and he rubs his eyes as he stands.

"Why's that? The rent go up?"

"Less snark and more walking, Mr. Lee." The doctor says. As the guards move up to him there is a sudden rumble, and a violent shaking. The lights flicker as trails of dust and debris falls from the ceiling, and then two quick gunshots.

We're locking Lee up inside The Matrix, run by a parasite drone.

That way he can have a happy, carefree existence not without any mind blowing, horrifying revelations.

He'll have his name cleared, and all his captors brought to justice. He'll wander the streets of the Union and be given awards and accolades by passersby for the flimsiest of reasons. He'll stumble on a treasure chest filled with untraceable Confederate Canderon worth enough to set him up for life. That and Future Games Workshop will slash their prices to become affordable.

The air car crashes more then lands, its chassis banging against the burning rubble. Dillon seems to put little effort in actually parking the vehicle so much as touching it down as quickly as possible without killing them. Lyle is out almost before the vehicle stops and rushes into the smoke. Jackob is right behind him, and Dillon rolls from the car as it slides down a pile of rubble and through what was once the doorway to the security room. Lyle finds a small pool of what appears to be a smoldering liquid eating into the floor. "Oops." he says simply.

The air car's engines continue to drive it forward, plowing into the wall ahead of it. It bounces, and quickly builds speed as it briefly leaves the ground, and then rams into the far wall, sending it clear out of the building and crashing to the courtyard bellow. Several people cough in the dust, while those wounded cry out for help. Several armed guards rush to the door in full armor, weapons at the ready as Lyle rolls a grenade between them. It plumes into a pillar of plasma and vaporizes half of each of them while sending the remaining pieces in all directions.

Jackob quickly moves up and over to the hallway where the sealed door is. The two guards are still there, but dazed. They look up and reach for their weapons, and Jackob clicks a button on his shredder, then sends two darts down the hall. They curve after the guards' helmets, and when they hit it's as if their helmets contained demolition charges, flying into the air in a display so bloody it almost looked like parody.

"Christ Dillon, what the fuck is in these?" He asks.

"Well how the hell do you think they make armor piercing shredder darts?" Dillon says.

Gotta get brains to research. (but no killy, they're already KO'd. Maybe kneecap (and.. elbowcap?) them to be sure)

I think this is where lee is?

>>39604203
Well there won't be any way to prove their veracity, but I doubt that'll stop the speculation. Considering any of our memories can be readily converted to video format, we may very well be able to sink the entire Union's political apparatus, or at least Killinger.
>>
Guys, we know exactly where they're sending Lee, we don't have to rush to him.

Let's just get all the research we can save from these fuckers, and then get Lee.
>>
>>39604217
Our things are expendable. That's how we roll.
>>
>>39604225
Oh yeah and a biig frown at Lyle for the fly.
>>
>>39604179
Wait, what vault?

You never mentioned a vault before did you? I just Ctrl-F'd vault in both threads.
>>
Guys stop it, Just have one of the flies stick to lee, Kill Boss man first.
>>
>>39604241
There's always a vault, anon.
>>
>>39604238
How about this

>>39604179
Send a fly down to trail Lee and co.
>>
>>39604240
Why, who cares? We've got a bunch of them, they are built to be expendable.
>>
>>39604239
It's the principle of it. If we let Lyle get away with breaking our shit, then other people are going to try breaking our shit.
>>
>>39604179
>Move to the elevator and go to the next floor down to kill/retrieve Yune and boss
Afterwards we interrupt the scientists in the process of moving out and burning bodies. Naughty, naughty humans.
>>
>>39604233
Yeah. We don't have to prove anything. It's just to undermine the top brass and create more problems for them.
>>
>>39604249
Boss man is already dead, and if he isn't we can simply inject his unconscious body with poison.

Meanwhile Lee is being taken to a new location. Learn to read man.

Destroying things is actually preferable. It means Dillon's bosses can't get their hands on it either.

We really should have had more forces prepared for this.

Don't forget to send any codes/locations we collect to Thesus.

Not really, we can find Lee now that we know where they're sending him.

The only time sensitive thing actually happening now are the scientists burning all that research.

Lyle prints down the hall, leaving a slipstream of dust behind him. He lets several shots out of his gun as he heads to the elevator. The others are quick to follow.

"They'l be expecting us." Jackob says.

Lyle looks over to Dillon. "We should head down, clear the next floor first. Breach in from the stairs, I'll take the elevator."

"They'll see you coming." Jackob says.

"That's what makes it the fun option."

Please roll 1d100, best of 3 to get to the office.
>>
>>39604344
But it's a non-issue. We know exactly where they're sending him, so we can rescue him whenever we want.

Picking this place apart piece by piece until we get all the loot is more important since it's a more timed situation.

The elevator lurches downward, and there is a soft ding as the doors open, then a flash of light and the sound of gunshots. A pillar of lightning leaps into the elevator as Lyle places a round in the head of a waiting guard, and you see several shredder darts rip into them from the side as Jackob and Dillon open fire from the doorway. The white hot plasma arcs over Lyle's arm, obliterating the skin over the smooth black carapace, and he jerks back, his other arm sending another two rounds into the guards. The man's head bounces back against his shoulders and his arms pull the cip weapon upwards as he falls, and you hear the elevator churning and groaning.

"Still fun?" You hiss, although Lyle can't be sure if that's you speaking or just the simmering of his skin. He answers regardless.

"Absolutely!" He shouts to no one in particular as he dives out from the elevator just as it drops down the shaft, and he plants his blades into the chests of two more guards. He quickly pivots with a harsh snap of breaking ribs, and he brings the blades into an arc, cleaving an arm off to the sound of a sharp scream.

Several bullets hit him, the first embedding into the ballistic padding of his vest, while the next slide against his arm, sending sparks outwards from the exposed black metallic chitin. He gives a body a firm kick, and the arcing beam of the cip weapon sweeps over several other guards, dropping them to the floor like rattling marionettes.

Jackob walks up to Lyle, eyeing the arm, then up to the face. "Your, uh, ear?"

Lyle reaches for it, feeling where the lobe was sliced by a passing bullet. He tears it off with a grimace.

"Think I found something!" Dillon shouts from the office on the far wall. "Two survivors, looks like they were knocked out by the debris."

Jackob and Lyle move over to get a better look, while you watch from the ceiling where your flies have hidden among the rubble of hanging wires and twisted supports.

"What, you want to arrest them?" Jackob asks.

Okay, but actually.

If we take them alive.

Hybrids get first dibs on them. They get to take them away and implant them both.

Then if Dillon insists on asking them questions, we dose them with Nepenthe or something. He doesn't get answers.
>>
>>39604563

We already called dibs on Yune. Dillon gave us dibs.

We are calling dibs on head agent too. They're ours. He can get someone else.

If we give them to Dillon, how much flesh can we get away with taking before we hand them over? I want to clone them and perform our own interrogation.

"Sure thing," Lyle says, "Maybe they can give us directions. Just drag them behind us, we can clear out the area before we bring them down bellow."

I use it to express my satisfaction, it's why I use it in response to all that delicious research.

Reading up as I get ready for finals in just a few minutes. It seems like we caught the humans as they were working on their version of XCom. Unfortunately for them they weren't half as ready as they needed to be. Hopefully this will bring their advanced military tech advances crashing down.

It seems the common wealth have had more success with their systems though. We need to find their research and plug it as soon as we can.

Ahh, and gas the humans.

>>39604670
The infirmary has already been cleared of people while they were preparing to evacuate, and several small fires have been lit within the sink where medical files and scan results shrivel into ash, although you still spot a copy of Yune's scan on the display, with the odd implant behind the eye.

"This should be right above the labs." Lyle says. "How many more breaching caps do you have?"

Dillon pulls out a small bag. "How many do you need?"


"Damnit! the lights!" Someone shouts in the flickering darkness.

The lights flicker for several seconds before returning to normal, and your flies spot the bodies of the two guards, with one of their weapons missing, and Lee nowhere to be seen.

"Where did he go? Son of a bitch! Find him, get the guards and find him! We don't have time for these delays!"

They begged for that shit, and you haven't seen how their fans collected images on their girl friends, or how laim became super butt hurt when a picture of his sister surfaced around.

>human bunkers are kind of shit compared to us. We're just so much better.
I don't care how much superior we are compared to them, they will have locations secure enough that entering them will make it obvious who's behind it. You can't just say "we're just so much better than them" as a justification for such retarded and careless plans.

>Gemini. They're moving everything to Gemini.
They are all already on Gemini idiot, there are two of them.

Yeah the Union is basically XCom, except XCom doesn't get fucked nearly as much as them.

Blame it on the Ceph, these people will believe any wild conspiracy theories. All we need to do is take one of the Ceph corpse's with us when we raid the place.

The other one, you get what I mean.

We can go back to it. I believe we had some hybrids coming behind Lyle.
>>
>>39604943
I don't think everyone understood that this is a sweep through the building from the top floor to the bottom, where the exit to the sewers is.

So we can't do the vault later easily without going back up the stairs.

We also didn't really notice the sealed door very much at all, or wondered about its significance.
>>
>>39604890
Outside your flies begin to move openly, taking advantage of the chaos to move among the falling rubble and spreading dust. The klaxon is deafening in the echoing warehouse, and the rumble of engines adds to the cacophony of panic and confusion as lab techs and guards pile what they can into the trucks, and then places charges on what they can't lift. The courtyard above begins to unfold, opening the hidden doors built within, and a flaming air car drops on top of one of the trucks, detonating whatever fuel was left within it.

Several of the guards tilt their heads, listening to new orders on their radio, and they begin to move to the elevator.

Your flies find Lee exiting one of the lab's airlocks. A lab tech turns as the door opens.

"We're, hey, hey you're not-" Lee sprints from the door and lands a firm punch in the man's face, and he reels back grabbing his nose in pain before reaching for a small sidearm. Lee quickly rushes him and sends him over the railing where he bounces off the top of a security robot, which immediately looks above and lets out a loud beep at the sight of Lee's face looking down at the sea of chaos.

There is an echoing blast, and then a growing rumble, and both the robot's operator and Lee look up to the elevator shaft as the lift drops like a stone past the open doors and impacts in the basement, sending debris and dust funneling up and out into the warehouse floor. Lee looks around him in confusion before taking off down a hallway at random. Your flies tail in pursuit.

So, if our flies tried to lead Lee, you think he would follow and think it was us?

Maybe both.

Huh, never expected Lee to do something like that. He's going to start dropping his spaghetti at high velocity in order to make up for this.

>>39604971
There is another explosion, and the floor of the main medical wing collapses, around the machine, crushing pieces of the plastic casing and breaking off chunks. The doctor shouts in rage. "We need to leave, now! Find Lee, before this whole place comes down!" He runs out of the observation area through a door, followed by the lab techs.

Lyle looks to the others. "Who pissed in his coffee?" He asks, then looks to the dead guards. "You think Lee did this? Could he?"

Jackob shrugs. "In a pinch, maybe?"

"He did serve in the space forces, at the very least they require basic hand to hand and firearm use." Dillon says.

A spectral form appears in front of Lyle, and you point down the hall after Lee. "This way." He says.

"How do you know?" Jackob asks as the sound of the klaxon drowns out all noise as the door opens. Lyle just mumbles under his breath. "I dunno, mother's intuition or something."

"What?"

"Nuthin."

'friends down below' I mean the clones/hybrids. First we make sure the vault's somewhere else other than the soon-to-be-destroyed building, and they won't check in the sewers until later.

>>39605178
Ahh dang. Then make it our exit: we get in the vault, blow it to the sewers, grab the artifacts, THEN we getaway with the hybrids.

>Implying they could do anything with the artifacts.
Again, these idiots couldn't get a damn thing out of whatever was up there. Most of their research subjects were abject failures completely incapable of interacting with tachyons at all. Whatever data they got off of them has gone up in smoke with the anarchy we've caused in the lab, and we captured the one successful subject they managed to produce. It will take them literally years to accomplish whatever it was they were attempting in this lab after the setbacks we've inflicted on them.
>>
>>39605196
They are still underground and Lyle and co will need their vehicle. They are not getting out of there in time.
>>
>>39605197
They were starting to succeed. It's only a matter of time.
>>
>>39605197
odds are they will never manage to get the artifacts to work. Not without help anyway.

They are a species of blind men trying to paint the sixtine chapel with fingerpaint. While its true what they say about monkeys with typewriters, the odds are ridiculously low that they'll ever do it. We have time to recover them later.
>>
>>39605137
Even so, it's a bad idea to leave that just laying around. It would also have boosted our existing research.

The three quickly move to the airlock and Lyle gives the door several firm punches as it cycles the air. Your flies pass by a tech watching the door bulge and shake with the force.
"W-what the fuck were they testing in there?" He shouts as he drops his supplies and runs the other way. The door snaps free of the frame and tumbles over the ledge. He sprints out, kicking an arm sized dent in the railing as he turns to sprint down the hall. Dillon and Jackob emerge after, dragging the limp bodies of Yune and the the base's commander.

"Yea, yea, you go ahead, We'll just, you know, clear the whole damn floor!"


Down the hall Lee runs blindly with the pistol still in hand, his jumpsuit splattered with a mist of blood. He stops for a moment, gasping, and says something under his breath about a gym membership, but you can't hear it through his breaths. Not far from him Lyle turns the corner, planting his elbow firmly in the wall to help stop him, smashing a crater into the wall. Lee stumbles back.

"Christ on a stick!" He shouts and a bullet pops the light above him as his gun goes off. Lyle walks forward, his right arm, a blood-stained metallic carapace as the skin from both legs drag behind him after being torn open from the force of combat, and the skin of several fingers dangle from the left hand. He idly tears it off.

"Come on, kid, you're aim is shit." He says. "I'm here to get you out, now let's go."

Lee quickly shakes his head.

That's why I suggest we get the vault from up there to down there, you know. So we can get cracking. Either Lyle & co. or our hybrids.
>>
>>39605220
Exactly, time. Keep in mind that each one of these threads takes up a single day or less in setting.

The pace of our research outpaces anything the Union could ever manage by several orders of magnitude. It would likely take them until the conclusion of the quest to succeed in doing anything that could impact us at all.

Their only success was getting the subject not to die horribly within three hours.

Lyle and Lee emerge from one of the corridors as Jackob and Dillon exchange fire with the guards bellow. Several security robots open fire on their position when you hear yet another explosion, and the floor beneath collapses, crushing the robots beneath the rubble bellow. The lights of the skiff cut through the dust and it floats up the debris like a ramp, and you see one of your clones hanging onto the searchlight pillar, upon which the Suncaster is affixed. Your clone swings it up and there is a blinding light as bolts of plasma erupt within the solders around the gaping hole in the floor.

Not the subject, the equipment. Affecting non-psionics would require /a ton/ of tachyons and they were on maximum burn and giving only tiny wisps when we found them.

Well no matter what we need flies left behind and flies following in the trucks. That chameleon ability is invaluable.
>>
>>39605310
Your clone sweeps the weapon over the trucks as the cargo lifts beneath them slowly rise. Armor comes off in molten heaps of slag, dripping from the trucks like a popsicle in the summer heat. The lifts reach the edge of a long ramp leading up to the courtyard and they begin to lurch forward under the torrent of plasma. One of the trucks groans to a halt, and as the tires melt into molten heaps it slides back, and then tumbles over the edge and back onto the wreckage of the third truck buried beneath the air car's flaming wreck. The last truck continues on, slowly, as it leaves red hot pieces of it trailing behind like blood, and exits the building.

The fighting is fierce, with many of the remaining guards taking cover behind the smoldering remains of their research. Jackob fires several shredder darts that curve past the cover, detonating with ludicrously grisly effect, while Dillon chucks several grenades. Lyle hefts up Lee and leaps the several meter distance to the skiff, dropping him by the empty body rack as the skiff drifts over to the ledge, where Dillon and Jackob drop the bodies of Yune and the commander before hopping in themselves. The skiff dives, scrapping the rubble and skimming the water bellow as it races down into the sewers bellow.

As your flies prepare to leave, you see the doctor from before on a ledge above. "Don't just stand there, go after them!"

Your flies watch as five of the guards run to several crates, picking out a number of grav-bikes that hum to life and begin to lift into the air.

>>
>>39605434
Your flies move out and quickly locate the truck. They plant themselves along the outer plating and conform themselves to the rugged surface as the grav bikes lunge forward into the sewers after the skiff.

The skiff quickly picks up speed as it rockets down the tunnels beneath the streets of the city. Behind them the sounds of the grav bikes echo after them, until they turn the corner. Lee looks up at Lyle from his seat. "Quick, give me a gun!"

"No."

"I can help!"

"Don't care, stay low."

A crack of light leaps from one of the bikes as a particle beam fires out from the mounted gun under the driver's seat, and it lances a chunk of the wall away.

Your clone swivels the suncaster around and opens fire, sending bolts of plasma arcing across the water and detonating against the stone and metal walls. One of the bikes turns sharply and its nose dives into the water, flipping end for end and sending pieces shooting out around it. They continue to close in, and a flash of super-heated air slices a portion of the skiff's guard rail clean off. Lyle clicks the side of his weapon and fires, releasing a micro rocket at the oncoming bikes. It detonates, shredding two of the bikes as the quickly gain on the speeding skiff.

The skiff turns sharply, and Lyle tosses a grenade behind them. It engulfs the remaining two in a cascading ball of plasma. They emerge, their riders aflame, and they swerve madly left and right, spinning out of control before ramming into each other. The wreckage and bodies fly apart, and then are violently snapped back into the micro-singularity as it peters out a moment later.

The skiff slows to a more reasonable speed, and Lee slowly releases his grip on the railings, the color slowly returning to his knuckles.

Jackob looks back at him. "So, did you kill those two guards in the lab?" You never seemed all that tough on the news to be honest."

Lee fumbles with his safety belt as he slides back into his seat. "I, uh, I kinda panicked actually. The lights went out and I grabbed his gun."

"So you're actually not a well-disguised bad-ass?"

Lee lets out a slight cough. "You think so?" Jackob laughs. Dillon looks over his data tablet. "We can get all the way out of the district through the sewers, so long as they don't start using the system. I doubt they want the paper trail it would leave though, so I'd say it's safer to stick under ground for now. Lyle, I don't know why you wanted him, but he's yours. I'll need some time alone with these two guys before bringing them in. Who knows what they're up to, but it sure as hell isn't legal."

Jackob turns back to Dillon. "We should probably find a place to lay low for a bit outside the district."

Your clones toss Lyle the hotel keys. "I guess I got a place." He says.

"Excuse me." Lee says, his voice all but drowned out by the noise of the skiff. "E-excuse me." He says again, only slightly louder. "You mind telling me who exactly you all are, or what SecCom is, or, or why he looks like a flayed terminator, or any of what's going on?"

The three look at him for a moment and then laugh. "They didn't tell you much, did they?" Lyle says.

"I think I got the gist of things, but so far it makes me want to wrap my head in tinfoil, so I'd like someone to clarify things before I start questioning the melting point of steel."

The skiff continues on towards the edge of the capital district, the emergency sirens on the streets above growing ever fainter.

That's all for this week. I'll try to stick around for questions and the like, or if you would like to vote to design or lay new drones/ships/construction projects.

The entire point of getting Lee is for diplomatic relations anons. And we don't want them fucking with psionics before we have the necessary defenses to stop them going warhammer psyker on our asses. Unless you think leaving them be to poke this shit on their own is a good idea. Which it is not.
>>
>>39605913
Okay, so long as we're talking about modifying or creating new drones, I'd like to point out that our heavy boarders are currently without any capacity for ranged combat. I propose we equip them with cryo sprayers.

Why cryo sprayers you ask? Well, aside from being ideal for the tight coridors of space ships, because they freeze freaking everything, causing armor and flesh alike to become exceedingly brittle. Think about how something in such a state would be effected by the sonic sledgehammers they weild. I wouldn't anticpate they shatter so much as they violently fucking explode, sending razor sharp shards of what were once armor, bone, and organs in all directions. In the confined quarters of a ship there would be sweet fuck all that could stand up to that combo.

It's a worse idea to publically state that shit. At the moment, they're treating it like a secret weapon because, well, they're doing weapons research. That means it's out of the public eye which means they don't have an official stance on it which makes both our lives a lot easier.

Lee is for diplomacy, yes, but trying to get the Union to not be retarded is more work than it's worth. what we can do is keep them somewhat off our back.

As I understand it, the heavy boarders are specialized units designed specifically just that; boarding. They've got enough armor to endure anything on there but makes them of limited use outside of the confined intenior of a ship. Razor mines would be better used on a different specialty drone, something like this:

Grenadier Drone
Olfactory: Basic 0
Acoustic: Advanced 2N
Psionic: Basic 0
Mandibles: Combat 1N
Blade: Thumper 5N 10M
Blade: Razor Mine 7N 10M
Arms: Str 1N
Legs: Sprint 1N
Wings: Moderate 2
Utility: Seeker Pod 10N
Utility: Honey Pot 4N
Carapace: Combat 3N 10M
Total Cost: 36N 30M

Intended to operate within groups of warrior drones by supporting them on the battlefield in a multitude of ways. This drone is designed with a variety of adaptations to provide indirect and harassing attacks on a target in the form of chemicals, explosions, and fiery death. The mines it produces can be planted in an area an enemy is expected to pass through and can serve as a useful element of a defensive perimeter. Its honeypot allows it to carry even more grenades into battle, when it would otherwise have only two shots with its launchers, or specialty ammunition for other warriors armed with thorn launchers. The inclusion of this drone thus grants a large swarm a degree of tactical flexibility they previous lacked.

Honestly the only reason why I don't want the Union experimenting on psionics is so that they won't be able to devise a counter against us in that field. I could care less if they accidentally summon one of the void crystal's battle blobs because of their carelessness.

Still the whole thing with the psionics is going to throw a wrench on our planned diplomatic.

Don't lay fucking excavators that is a terrible idea.

The only drones that should be laid there are stealthy ones like Flies and Parasites, and bio-tanks... camouflaged gilled bio tanks.

>Have your chimera egg layer lay a new egg layer to free it up for other tasks
Give said egglayer gills? It can hide under the water.

And also have the egg layer lay 12 bio-tanks with adaptive camouflage, mimetic skin, and gills.

We gotta start sending in the clones.
>>
>>39606014
...how the fuck would gigantic 10 meter tall excavators be a good start to anything?

We're using existing sewers infrastructure. digging our own is stupid, because it leaves evidence of our existence that can't be self-destructed or moved.

Why the fuck would we prefer running our drones in a filthy human managed sewer when we could construct our own mini hive below it? That's a terrible idea.
>>
>>39606008
If we do end up laying excavators in Gemini, please oh please make them small drone versions.

Last thing we need is something that cant fit in the god damn sewer tunnels.
>>
If/when we do go diplomatic, I say we publically claim Leeland is a nursery planet as it is our custom for daughters to be left to grow their hives somewhat in their infancy, bereft of the trappings of advanced technology or resource assistance, as a character building experience. The violence of pointless conflict between the Union and Unity disrupted our most sacred of rituals, and the unwelcome interference of Union surveillance is deeply offensive.

However, Lee proved himself a friend to the infant Hive, and acted in goodfaith. Two declarations are made: the system is henceforth forbidden territory to any foreign vessel not expressly invited, and they will be destroyed without exception upon violating these borders; the planet will be dubbed "Leeland" in honor of the honor, courage, and travails of Lee.
>>
>>39606030
You don't want a giant drone for that then, just workers that can dig.

But is digging a hole in the side of the sewers is really more stealthy than just hiding in the sewers?
>>
>>39606064

>>39606077
Because anon, get this.
The Hive is hidden in the sewers and would rather not be found.

Something that can done easier with small diggers carving out a mini hive than great big earth movers that could cause the buildings above to fall over.
>>
>>39606061
Filth is a good thing.

And digging your own hole is a commitment that can't be undone. You can't move the hole. You can't self destruct the whole in a way that leaves no trace.

Drones only, no digging things. Digging things is also noisy and can attract attention.
>>
>>39606089
No dude, we're talking about laying them off planet, like what you've suggested.

This is why this quest can be damn stressful at the round up. Everyone's way too tired to think straight.
>>
>>39606077
>, safe from human trespassers?
There is no way to be safe from human trespassers.

>>39606092
Unless you do this, in which case people will still wonder about this clearly collapsed tunnel.

But then you have no way for drones, or clones, or anything to leave, or for nutrients to come in.
>>
>>39606103
You collapse the hole.

>>39606096
Again, why is it prefferable to continue running out of the sewers. For one thing it lacks the security of constructed underground chamber. We literally had maintenance workers coming by and wondering where our trash was coming from. We need something hidden from every human on this world to be secure. Only way to do that is build our own chamber.

you can nuke it or all the evidence of what is was for, it can be covered up and we have the tech to cover it pretty damn good, in the sewers anyone can stumble upon it and we won't be able to have that many drones there but if we dig a room we could set up a "safe house" we're we can extract info from captured humans

Wait, like, 4 centimeter sized workers?

We still need to keep the bio-tanks and regular sized egglayer somewhere. Like the sewers where we've set up base already.
>>
>>39606161
There are a lot of things that can cause a tunnel collapse. Disguising it as natural or accidental in nature would presumably be easier than having an egglayer try to run and hide from humans doing routine maintenance in the tunnels, or looking for the maintenance workers we killed to keep our existence secret.

I mean, an egglayer is a pretty inconspicuous drone here.
>>
>>39606177
We need Bio-tanks for hybrid clone production on Gemini.

As well as aquatic sniffers to explore the water ways.

Lay 12 bio-tanks with adaptive camouflage/mimetic skin and gills. Or maybe 30? Not sure how many.

We want a decent number of hybrids.

we can easily dig out a slightly larger hole to drag bodies through to get to the main chambers. Something just big enough to fit a man crawling. Stage it mid way up a decently sized pipe and no one will even know it was there.

Of course we would have normal sized hive further in, just we initially dig it out with small workers till we move in, then scale up over time, keeping the entrance small until such a time we decide to kick the metaphorical door down and emerge.

When it comes to increasing nutrient income, farms are better. No Metals investment.

You can get 1million nutrients from 10k farms for no metals, just labor from normal workers. But electroponic stations? You need 2k stations to make 1 million nutrients, at the cost of...


2 milllion metals.

You know, the OQ invasion of Raligha was manned by thinkers, and drones were sent down onto the jungle in shuttles.

Along with their Thinkers.

Now odds are only freshly-hatched Thinkers who know nothing important were sent on this mission.

But we could plop captured Obsidian Thinkers into our bio-tanks and scan their memories against their will, just like non hive life, right? Could they have any defense against that?

Of course if the Thinker did know something important, reading its mind might be like opening the Necronomicon.

Will it ever be the hybrids' turn to stand watch?

The Flies' super senses should be able to determine whether everyone is genuinely asleep.

>>
>>39606423
It's neither. Its basically hive creep in reverse, injecting large amounts of nutrients and minerals into a planet's surface and atmosphere, mixing them up to form complex lifeforms that further the terraforming process in a matter of days. Turns a dead world into something like Raligha in 2 weeks.

There much better. Now you can spy on their thoughts and secrets as well as words.

Also if he spills that he has the backing of all four of the Secretary Council, DIllon might determine he won't be able to trust anyone with this until he can actually perform a coup.

Soy bars? What the fuck is wrong with you? At least get them gellato, something with taste.

Fucking soy bars...

They're prisoners.

It's supposed to be torture.

We're their wardens, not monsters.

You're worse than a demon.

Hybrids improve upon the base species with subtle touches of drone DNA.

Do they still need to sleep at all? Being homeless in the early stages of infiltrating the Commonwealth in the quest for Psionic Cannon blueprints will be easier if they never sleep.

That's not what happened.

People got tunnel vision on securing Yune and his boss. Which was what won. Not realizing this woud make it harder to get tot he vault later.

That would be dumb if he's going to take them in with him to space FBI. We shouldn't leave behind traces of our meddling.

It feels like a bunch of newfags making idiotic decisions joined this quest. We never made decisions this dumb early on.

Eh, I think it was more of question between opening the vaul and risking of losing Lee, Yune and Boss or just taking the safe route.
We stopped their research and are tracking the last truck, plus we finally got Lee back.
Not a bad haul after all. I am pretty sure we will atleast hear what the vault will contain later.
