>Ralighan biology study
The have had utilized the panic of the invasion to procure a sample of the local life for study. The biology of the natives of Raligha seems to be rooted in a predatory role, likely adapting as pack hunters before growing in intelligence. Interestingly enough, you find signs of the Gardener’s own genetic data within the native, indicating some level of alterations or experimentation, possibly even leftovers from past research in psionic implantation, although no native seems naturally psionic.

>Spiral Warrior (Ralighan only)
The ancient and honored martial art, known as the Way of the Tempest, or the Bladed Spiral, depending on your translation and tribe in question, utilizes the circular nature of the Ralighan body to create a fluid spinning motion that allows the warrior to quickly move in any direction, change direction in an instant, and attack from nearly any angle along the ralighan’s spinning axis using a traditional multi-bladed throwing weapon, leather or rope lings, or specialized atlatls, as well as thin, lightweight wicker or bark shields used to deflect rocks, spears, or other small projectiles. The origin of the art form has been lost to myth, and is credited to the system’s gas giant, which is visible in the sky on clear nights, and is believed to be a great warrior from the Ralighan’s past and the first tribal leader to speak with the Mother of Builders. Judging from your understanding, the myth possibly pre-dates the hive’s arrival, but has been altered to fit the new worldview of the locals, or potentially speaks of the first native the hive used for research before establishing proper contact with the locals. Regardless, the gas giant’s apparently erratic swirling orbit as seen from the surface of Raligha is hailed as evidence that the hero figure continues to dance around the planet using this martial art in an effort to protect it from attack from the heavens.

>Predictive combat algorithms
By using the vast network of the hive to analyze the fine movements and instinctive quirks of your enemies, your drones and clones can anticipate the movements and actions of well-known opponents, allowing them to position themselves in such a way as to be the least likely to be hit with incoming fire while gaining an advantageous position from which to return fire. There are limitations, however you only gain an advantage against enemies with training and biology that is familiar to you and you must be aware of the enemy to predict its actions. Replicants or non-drone agents must be connected to the hive network via parasite or psionic implant to receive any benefits.

>Boarding pods
Fast
While strikingly similar in nature to the drop pods, a number of critical alterations are made to the design to allow this pod to be fired from a specialized tube like a missile and penetrate the hull of a target vessel. It then opens to allow the deadly contents to enter the ship and engage the crew without needing to dock with the target, allowing boarding attempts without disabling a ship’s drive, although the shields still need to be deactivated.

>Ship grapple
Medium
A simple idea at heart; throw a hook at the target and reel it in. When you take into account the relative speeds and raw kinetic forces involved in such an action, however, it quickly stops being so simple. Complex and highly durable cables and pulleys must be developed, as well as specialized bulkheads to prevent ripping the ship in two. The result, however, should be interesting, if a bit insane.

>Ram
Medium
The concept of ramming in ship to ship combat is simple and straight forward. Doing so without obliterating your own ship, however, is a far more complex skill to master that requires numerous alterations to ship design philosophy and a willful lack of common sense. The Scavengers appear to be insane enough to have thought such a strategy useful in space combat, and are stubborn enough to perfect it. The study and extensive testing of the design of the ram should allow you to develop something similar for your own ships.

This large and powerful weapon seems to use a mixture of plasma and solid slug projectiles to gain both damage and range. Disassembling it should allow you to build similar weapon systems yourself.

>Variable strike weapon
Fast
A patented weapon technology in the Union, this device is capable of switching between a large number of ammunition types in the middle of combat.

>Magnetized slugs
Fast
This technology appears to use a powerful magnetic charge to alter the trajectory of a fired projectile after leaving the weapon, improving accuracy.

>Privy coat
Fast
This article of clothing utilizes some manner of micro-fiber to block, or at least interfere with the signals of modern weapon scanners in an attempt to prevent weapons from tripping customs alarms or security checkpoints. The device is not fool proof, and typically is only considered reliable on older, less well maintained checkpoints.

>Gravity foils
Fast
The most obvious and direct application of gravity deflection technology utilizes the surrounding ambient gravitational forces to allow a drone to create thrust using a complex arrangement of thin metallic sheets, allowing the drone to hover or fly in any direction. While it can technically function in a vacuum, most such situations would be in space, where the foils would be far less effective due to a lack of strong gravity fields to manipulate.

>Artificial gravity plating
Medium
By utilizing insignificant amounts of antimatter to create unfocused gravitational fields, and then directing them through the gravity plating into a single direction, the internal structure of a ship can be granted a small amount of artificial gravity. White the direction of the gravity can be changed at will, or turned off, it lacks the resources and energy to project a field capable of directly causing injury

>Gravity thrusters
Slow
Similar in function to your Skid drive, the Gravity thrusters essentially surf along pre-existing gravity fields, increasing their performance when in close proximity to major sources of gravitational pull, be it a large celestial body, a star, a planet, an exceptionally large structure or group of structures, or the core of a gravity drive. While in deep space it becomes less effective, the law of universal gravitation means it never becomes totally useless, and when in close proximity to a powerful gravity source it should outperform most other thruster designs with ease.

>Shield miniaturization
Medium
With your new understanding, previously unknown aspects of standard shield technology can be seen in a new light, indicating a small overlap between it and gravitational manipulation technology. By using newly developed technology, your thinkers suspect that they may be able to create a more compact, but less powerful shield system.

>Psionic reading
Medium
You are already aware of this growing ability in Elizabeth, and with her help, and more research into the remains of the dead relay, you should be able to continue to fine tune your new, more powerful psionic senses to be able to not only detect the presence of sapient thought, but to read it in more detail.

The useful applications of manipulating massive photonic molecules are many, and your preliminary studies indicate that you may be able to develop more practical uses beyond the blaster, especially in the field of energy shielding.

>Nausea field
Slow
A rather interesting side effect first noticed with your Blink drive, but now weaponized to great effect as a defensive measure. You should be able to enhance your medium and advanced relays to emit a wave of sickening nausea in a radius around it, causing effected subjects to feel increasing levels of both physical and mental uneasiness, causing feelings of dread and queasiness.

>Solid State Teleportation
Slow
While standard quantum systems allow for instantaneous transportation of data, this technology would allow for essentially the instantaneous transport of matter. The matter in question would be disassembled into individual particles and transported in much the same way as bits of data through a quantum relay, and then assembled on the other side. Due to the nature of the process, only simple objects such as raw resources could survive teleportation. This should allow for the transportation of resources across hive space without the need to delegate ships to serve as trade vessels.

>Ground-orbital mega-construction
Slow
By using new construction systems to improve efficiency, the hive can build new projects capable of reaching orbit, using the rotation of the planet to remove the requirements of a free standing structure and instead essentially hang a station in orbit from the surface of the planet. Such a construction project would double as a docking pylon capable of constructing capital ships at a much faster rate, and replace the need for shuttles to ferry goods to and from orbit. [Unlocks the Capillary Tower construction option]

>Quantum Tuning
Medium
While current quantum computing technology requires the relays be built to accommodate one another, this technology should allow you to quickly attune pre-existing devices for one another when in proximity. Your thinkers suspect more opportunities to open up after further research is done. You suspect Theseus would greatly appreciate such a technology, if he does not already poses it.

>Psionic Cannon prototype
Very slow/Very dangerous
Detailed accounts of several experiments show the slow progress of Project Godsplitter. The cannon itself is highly volatile, and even the smallest miscalculation often results in the destruction of the ship, as well as any nearby craft. It can only be equipped to a Hive ship's spinal mount, and requires a functional Void Shard as ammunition. At least a dozen testing sizes were atomized in testing the weapon, and in the end it appears The Gardener never quite perfected it.

She can't. She doesn't have quantum thinkers to quickly develop new tech. Not to mention the fact the Void Crystal are keeping her from advancing her tech.
>>40608492
>when she slapped around all our predecessors like they were her bitches
>Actually thinking this
The only reason she stood a chance is because she was working with the Void Crystals.

>>40608580
>The only reason she stood a chance is because she was working with the Void Crystals.
And likely still is, for what reason would you think she would have stopped?

>>40608588
I think you miss understand. She's a complete scrub in combat.

>>40608574
So the Bleeding Edge suit?

“Lee, how is your condition?” She says. Lee awkwardly shimmies past the speaker, which had been leading him by the hand through the dim and labyrinthine halls.

“It’s like I hear whispering, all over, all the time.” He says, “my head is a little sore, but I think I’m okay for now.” Elizabeth nods.

“That is to be expected here. It’s how the hive communicates, and how the Queen controls everything. You should have heard it when I first got here, it was much louder.”

“Mother say to think quietly!” Your speaker shouts, clicking its claws with glee. Lee looks confused.

“I thought they were all part of the Queen. Do they have individuals, or uh...” He trails off, not knowing how to phrase the question.

“Both, in a way. The drones are almost like animals. They know enough to do what they were designed to do, but require commands from the Queen to know what to do.” Elizabeth points to the speaker and it chirps softly. “This little guy can talk, but unless the Queen actually wants to say something, he usually just rambles.” The speaker twitches its antennae, attempting to figure out if rambling is good or not. You reassure it with the thought as your mind fills it with purpose.

"So, how can I tell who I'm talking to? Do they switch around or what?" He looks to the speaker. "Are you the Queen, or just a drone right now?"

"Yes!" It chirps. Elizabeth lets out a stifled laugh.

"Both at once. In a way, it's similar to how a Ceph controls its arms. Each one has a brain, but it requires the head to organize them and give them direction." She says. Lee nods slowly.

"Okay, that makes sense." He says, then looks over the table of the lab. "So, have you figured anything new out? You know, with the ring wraith voices in my brain and what-not?"

cont.

So how about colonizing the rest of the planets in our home system?

We've been sitting on Electroponic stations for ages, even though we already have at least one gas giant readily available. Its time to do this.

>>40608631
Better than that. You should check out that anime and manga.

>>40608629
Im just worried about those Void crystals anon. shes not the problem her allies are but if we kill her , we may weaken the void gods presence in the area.

That is so cute. I love our drones.

>"Yes!" It chirps. Elizabeth lets out a stifled laugh.
I love this little shit.

>>40608638
It's kind of hard to consistently get bad rolls when in a best of 3d100.
>>40608716
They only attack when someone is building a Psionic Cannon otherwise they don't give a fuck.

>>40608487
tenno are guyvers

>>40608772
makes sense anon but still want the bitch to die. just imagine if she talks to the humans before us and gives them void crystals. probably not going to happen but could.

>>40608851
Worse, she knows we exist and is now ramping up her own fleet production to insane levels to Zerg rush us when she finds the Red Queen..

>>40608851
Anon you're starting to make up ridiculous situations to justify your paranioa. A little paranioa is good but this is stupid.

>>40608934
what do you propose we do about the rival queen then?

Why can't we just keep plotting to kill/capture the bitch
I really want to put her into a tank and cut out of her hivemind, just so I can hear her screams

>>40608987
what has our plotting been .we have made leaps and bounds with our human front.All we are doing is building up the fleet and she can and is doing so probably at a higher quantity, but tech wise she is pretty behind?

>>40608961
We can take a note from the last federation and launch a moon at her.

>>40609081
Mine moon into a husk with new mining techs. use those metals to make moon missile. win

>>40608659
Elizabeth glances to the box on the desk. "Well, I had a small cell culture quickly whipped up using your DNA, and have been bombarding it with mental transmissions. So far, it seems that my initial hypothesis is correct. The human brain is capable of sensing psionic signals, but it does not lack the needed organs to properly translate and understand the data." She says as she looks over her breakfast. A small cube of pressed meat that somehow has a chalky texture, and several packs of vegetable paste. "I'm still not sure, but I think it's related to our sense of intuition, judging by the reactions I'm getting from different cells. I suspect psionic sensitivity is slightly more common than I had anticipated, although still nothing anywhere close to the complexity of the hive's network." She investigates the chalky meat block with distrust, and offers it to Lee. He takes it with a similar looking level of suspicion.

"So, what, like, that tingly 'you're being watched' feeling is actually telepathy?" He asks, then bites the block with a loud clack, as if biting a brick.

"No. If my theory is correct, that would be what used to be the limit of human telepathy. It's more like a phantom limb, just a leftover from when we lost it during evolution." She shrugs. "But that's just my preliminary theory." She taps her finger on her chin as she briefly looses herself in thought. "There are the humans found on Earth... Perhaps the proximity to the White Queen's beacon caused some changes in their brain structure."

"Wait, you've been to Earth?" Lee says abruptly. Elizabeth almost ignores him, but looks up after a moment.

"Oh, yes, the drones found some things there. It's not important at the moment." She says dismissively.

>Speak with Lee and Vaughn (write in)
>Offer bio-augmentation
>Other (write in)

>>40608961
Stopping the human psionic cannon is more important.
>>40608987
All we would have to do to defeat her is locate her planet, flood her atomsphere with spores, hammer her planet with dissambler warheads to quickly destroy all structures, then invade her throne room. The only problem is that we don't have enough ships in our fleet to fight her's.

Time for those Guyvers

WHile I know our warriors would always fill a better role in combat I can't help but think of the psychological impact of a boarding party made out of human-shaped bugs that when damaged and killed are revealed to be human hybrids

>>40609275
It's been 5 days they should be done.

so we have the two human empires who seem to be gearing up for war against each other, could we talk to Theseus about ways to direct their aggression against the black queen, basically use her as a scape goat for any issues that have arisen between the two empires.

>>40609190
I was thinking something more like "she commited the great taboo of our people many times. Queen-killing is the vilest of crimes."

>>40609308
more than that she is a traitor to the species, becoming a thrall of the void gods

>>40609306
No anon. We are not sending them to conquer hive territory.

>>40609306
Bad idea if humanities first contact of our race is one of war future diplomatic talks could be fucked, but we are making humans our slaves so whatever

will we get to listen in on how the commonwealth reacted to our sudden presence and just as sudden departure

>>40609306
How the fuck would that work, can you imagine trying to convince Stalin that the USA aircraft carrier he's spotted off the coast is actually piloted by space bugs?

>>40609375
Must convince them space bugs are Jewish, Jews are best scape goat maybe enough to make them ignore the fact they just fought each other

>>40609414
Nah that's the valen

>>40609375
>>40609414
Yes!

>>40609354
To be honest enslaving humanity is better for us in the long run. If we let humanity do their own thing they would find a way to fuck everything up for us even if they didn't mean it.

>>40609428
We can kill them too!

>>40609375
easy way would be that she has been infuriating the leadership of both sides to weaken humanity for her eventual invasion so she can offer "human slaves to the void gods". or something like that

>>40609470
this is the stupidest fucking idea i've heard yet, is that you fluff?

>>40609470
Take to long, space war is already happening.

>>40609470
How about discard the option of having them invade our territory because they're being stupid and killing each other again?

>>40609539
agreed, we already have an alliance against her, an alliance of individuals that are nations unto themselves just as we are. as things stand we don't need to worry about public opinion, forgetful voter-bases or greed or any of that shit, why change that? let the humans occupy eachother for now, when the commonwealth plays their psy-cannon we'll be ready.

>>40609624
by the time the commonwealth has a psy-cannon the top officials will hopefully be ours already

fuck yeah!

>>40609687
they already have one, we just don't know where it is. it'll be very difficult to infiltrate the commonwealth without overplaying our hand, we'll either need to wait for an opportunity or work closely with theseus in order to do so.

union is the faction that is currently trying to figure out how to build it, though we've set back their psy-research by quite a lot.

>>40609819
Or we could just ally with the commonwealth.

>>40609851
Haha, No.

>>40609851
Fuck that noise.

>>40609851
No.

>>40609851
hellz no

>>40609851
I don't have any opposition with this.

>>40609947
fuck off

>>40609493
Nope, I'm just enjoying my popcorn. You will know if it was me.

>>40609147
A speaker skitters into the room where Lyle and the others sit around Lyle's holo screen, watching the Pathian action show on Lee's data disk out of boredom as they eat from several bowls of nutrient paste.

"You know, that kid was right. This version's got a lot more action then the Saturday morning shit." Jackob says. Dillon looks over briefly.

"Why do you watch Saturday morning kid shows in the first place?"

"Because it's one of, like, three channels you get for free in a shitty motel, and goddamn it sometimes after I need to kill some people when a job goes south some candy and a cartoon goes a long way." He takes a bite of the nutrient paste. "This stuff is good, actually. Like sweet grits or something. I'll need to get a can for the road."

Your speaker chirps. "The hive can offer improvements to the humans if any are of interest." It says. Jackob leans over to see your speaker through the hologram of what appears to be a vibrantly colored giant rubber crab being scissor kicked by the bug-eyed armor-clad protagonist as he screams something in Pathian. The crab explodes violently as Dillon turns off the projector.

"They're free, right?" Jackob asks.

"Yes!" Your speaker chirps cheerfully, "Free for friends of the hive!"

Jackob jabs his elbow at Dillon, who seems much less impressed at the deal.

"No offense to the hosts, but I like my human parts, thanks. Dillon says. Jackob slaps his arm as he gets up.

"Come on, don't you want to kick giant alien crabs to death?" He says, pointing to the dormant projector.

"Personally, I've always had luck with shooting things." Dillon says from his seat. Jackob just shrugs.

"Suit yourself. I've done weirder shit in my life." Jackob says as he looks over the various augmentation designs your thinkers have created, all listed on a patch of chromatophore skin along the wall.
Cont.

>>40609303
Odd, I just double checked the archives and counted 4. You sure?

>>40609963
Oh I'm sorry, I was just expressing my opinion in a well mannered way, assuming you wouldn't be a massive cunt about it. I see now you in fact are a massive cunt and I will treat you as such from now on, treating you in the most condescending manner possible,

so what is our plan with Jackob and Dillon, we cant just keep them locked in their room forever.

>>40609877
>>40609889
>>40609894
>>40609915
Er, why?
Seriously don't get the hate the humans get.

>>40609973
The the biotank hatched on thread 41 and you said they were already working on the clones.

>>40610032
Idiots being edgy, ignore them, they aren't worth debating.

>>40610013
wheredoyouthinkyouare.jpg

>>40610032
Insectoids and humans have never gotten along.

>>40610029
Parasite.

>>40610032
Honestly, me neither. They're screw ups, and yeah, the Union did the nuke thing, but I just plain can't hold a grudge for that long. I'm tired of it. Hating folks is friggen exhausting. Especially when it's just a game like this.

>>40609973
If the humans don't want augs, then we can offer infantry sized weapons.

>>40610041
Ah, my bad then.

I'll have today's nutrients spent on them refunded, and you can consider them to be en route to Heretic's base for unloading.

>>40610032
Because any alliance we try to make with the humans will end up fucking us over.

>>40610029
Let them go wherever, they're free to do whatever the fuck they want, give them a way to contact us and we can offer them work and protection. They can go to whatever world they feel like and hopefully find somewhere safe ish.

>>40610032
I'm agianst the commonwealth, not agianst trying shit with the union.
Honestly i just skip over anything they try to say about trying to make humans our enemies when we already have a real threat in our sights.

>>40609973
Holy shit I think they're going to make him a Guyver if he goes all out with the upgrades

>>40610101
That was only with the union. The commonwealth have no such laws, and we have potential human representatives. Representatives that will stir controversy and piss people off.

>>40610032
Parasite the leadership.

>>40610133
Or just use a random clone.

>>40610101
Explain.

>>40610078
>>40610032
because, we have our own problems to deal with before we can climb into the shit pit with the humans and start picking sides, our priorities are the obsidian queen and stopping the humans from attracting the attention of the crystal gods. all other things are secondary.

any alliance we make will be complicated once we start telling them
>oh yeah, we know about your secret psy-cannon and space magic research, cut that shit out right now

>>40610141
Haven't we been warned that this is a terrible idea?

>>40610155
You realize the government dissapeared lee in a pretty obvious way, him coming back from the dead would bring in green party support and potentially assist our political war to begin with. Also we can request access to lees memories so if he dies horrifically we can just clone him again.

>>40610032
I personally feel that getting into an alliance with them will just get us into a pointless war with the union and they will still use the psy-cannon pointlessly causing void gods to smite our asses. maybe we could convince them to not use the cannon pointlessly but idk. i just feel a deal with common wealth will be to much uncertainties.

>>40610178
Pretty sure we have at least at one point, but folks don't care.

>>40610201
The Union isn't completely suicidal. They won't try to fight us and the Commonwealth, simultaneously.

>>40610133
I didn't say any of that anon. And you're implying that the humans of the Commonwealth are any different than the Union. It would be much better to make them serve us than to ally with them.

>>40610246
The commonwealth isn't trying to unlock the secrets of psionics and running an active conspiracy against people we value.

>>40610178
Well yeah, if we don't have any support in place. You don't just go directly for the leadership, you work your way up.

Get the medical professionals first.

>>40610266
Actually they should be, the only difference is that they are farther ahead of the union.

>>40610266
they already have unlocked the secrets of psionics, keep up.

>>40610274
There are so many ways for that to massively blow up in their face.

>>40610298
Psionics aren't a threat to us, we're effectively the second strongest psionic force in the universe (strongest being the crystalline entity)

>>40610245
But wont the common wealth want planets and treaties if they have overwhelming forces with our help. i just dont think the Union will give up especially if they have the propaganda tool of being attacked by bugs. oh shit star ship troopers

>>40610266
>isn't trying to unlock the secrets of psionics
That's how I know you're a retard.

>>40610201
It's kind of a leap to think the commonwealth actually have a functioning psionic cannon. The only reason they got it to work the first time was because the WQ was feeding them the relevant information, and everyone and everything pertaining to that project was apparently atomized.

Even if they did copy all of Seiner's notes, they would lack the scientific expertise to actually replicate the weapon itself.

>>40610298

>>40610322
Yes it is, are you being retarded on purpose? It's a pretty big threat that they can use the psy-cannon to attract the attention of the crystal gods that genocided our race.

>>40610338
which is why they had a couple of decades to try and figure it out.

>>40610329
In a defensive military alliance they can't really do that.

>>40610359
You know, we CAN warn them not to go pants on head retarded because of what would happen if they DID do that.

>>40610359
>crystal gods that genocided our race.
our race was fighting them to a stalemate until the obsidian queen betrayed us

>>40610365
They can do whatever their people and military allow them to do.

>>40610365
>implying they won't try to do that.
I get the union not doing that, but beleiving the common wealth wont try to do that shit when the reason the union was made was because the common wealth were being greedy shits is stupid.

>>40610386
>implying they'll believe us

>>40610404
oh well that's alright then, thought that would have been a threat. phew

>>40610433
How do you know they won't?

>>40610404
yup thousands of queens with millions of troops.

>>40610433
We can convert that memory to digital form, we can literally show them what happens if you use that fucking cannon.

Also we did scare the shit out of them (I'm curious to read the fallout of that.)

>>40610365
The only thing I would be willing to actively help them for is all of their tech.
>>40610386
>Humans
>Not being pants on head retarded
Choose one.

>>40610453
Anon he was being sarcastic.
atleast i hope he was.
>>40610463
Literally could say we are making shit up anon.

Why don't we ask Elizabeth and Unions thought on this?

>>40610453
think about it, you discover some weird alien super weapon, then you encounter the alien race who demand you disarm, telling you that you risk attracting the attention of super jesus who'll suplex your entire planet.

seems like a pretty transparent attempt to reduce the military power of a potential rival. they have no reason to believe us at all.

>>40610463
yeah, the same way photos are solid proof of ghosts, right? just 'cause you have an .avi file that backs up your claim doesn't mean shit to the military.

>>40610493
We could also make the point that they aren't worth the time it'd take to make shit up and if they make a psionic cannon and get assfucked over it we will not be assisting them.

>>40610527
We already did several threads ago.

>>40610532
They literally have proof of it working and shit anon, hell they should have a broken one that they should be fixing up right now.

>>40610556
What did they say?

>>40610532
they know the power of the cannon

how well do you think it would go if you went back in time and told the USSR that developing nukes isn't worth it/is too dangerous to develop

they already know that other factions potentially have access to this shit, and will have at some point if they don't already, it's a matter of self preservation to ensure you have this super weapon as well as a deterrent

>>40610422
>>40610423
Poland doesn't pick fights with Russia just because its a part of NATO, even if they hate Russia's guts.

The fun thing is that now we have Lee and Elizabeth, we can use Lee as our representative and convince Theseus to let Elizabeth be his ambassador.

>>40610556
Generally, with our longevity tech it would be extremely easy to get a lot of useful things out of them through negotiation.

>>40610622
They let Russia into NATO?

>>40609973
Your drone watches with a blank stare as Jackob quickly looks through the provided list.

"This looks good, and that one. Does this one come in any other colors?"

"That one changes color." Your speaker chirps. Jackob eats a spoon full of nutrient paste and grins. "Erphect!" He says with his mouth full.

[Requested cybernetics]

Jackob:
Reactive Pupils (2N)
Chemical Fabricator (8N)

Reacher arms (15N 5M)
Sting Whip (7N)

Leaper legs (10N 10M)

Skin graft (4N)
Mimic Skin (2N)
Semi-fluid Tissue (8N 5M)

Jackob looks to your speaker. "I'm not over-doing it, do you think? I don't want to be getting too much."

"Too much improvment?" Your speaker asks, confused. "Improve is improve!"

>Recommend (write in)
>Speak with Dillon and Lyle (write in)
>Accept and escort Jackob to a tank (2 days for surgery)
>Other

>>40610178
Not inherently terrible, just really, really risky. It would not be something you just go out and do with some flies and 20 good men, it would be a complicated, multi-thread endeavor that would require planning and risk taking.

>>40610655
yup, but for some reason anons want everyone to be our enemies and ignore the queen and cystal gods.

>>40610660
Poland is a part of NATO, a defensive military alliance that could turn Russia into driftwood. Poland hates Russia for historical reasons. Poland has not picked a fight with Russia.

>>40610678

We'll also throw in the special implant Lyle has for free.

>>40610678
Adding >>40610739's vote to my vote at >>40610749
Also voting against any vote to parasite him.

>>40610739
Oh, and ask Lyle if he would like us to modify the Angel at all, like altering it's weapon systems. Because I think we should also equip a plasma lance to the Angel, if Lyle is ok with it. It is pretty much the ideal weapon for attacking ground targets, and can even hit ships through their shields if need be.

>>40610678

>Accept and escort Jackob to a tank (2 days for surgery)

Improve is improve!

>Speak with Dillon and Lyle (write in)

The Jackob improvement will take several days. Is there anything you would like while you wait? Other than leaving the room?

>>40610782
good idea, at the very least we should offer up a list of ship upgrades to lyle

>>40610739
>>40610776
Sorry if I'm not clear, but I'm voting to replace LYLE'S parasite with a symbiote, not parasite Jackob.

>>40610678
>Speak with Dillon and Lyle
If augs are not what you are interested in, how about trying out some of The Hive made guns? And Lyle, We can upgrade your ship with newer and better tech too.

>>40610820
I know, you were clear, I expect people to inevitably vote to parasite jackob and I was getting that out of the way now

>>40610678
>Accept and escort Jackob to a tank (2 days for surgery)
>Other
Parasite too.

>>40610678
>>40610739
Seconded, but no to parasites.

>>40610820
I think I proved my point with that early vote against parasiting with >>40610854.

>>40610678

>>40610739
Seconding this, also give Jackob a parasite.

>>40610906
>>40610904
Why do you retards not want to parasite him?

>>40610931
The better question is, why do you retards WANT to parasite him? It serves no purpose other than to erase every bit of trust these people have for us and probably make dillon go rogue.

>>40610593
>>40610527
Well I appear to be mistaken since we only asked Elizabeth on how Union First Contact works and the one in the Ask.fm was how things would have gone if we revealed ourselves to the Union early on.
I don't think we know how the Union will react to a fast-growing space empire of with a comparable/superior tech base to theirs.

>>40610678
>Accept and escort Jackob to a tank (2 days for surgery)
Don't forget the free complementary parasite

>>40610959
How would he know, you planning on telling him?

>>40610678
>>Accept and escort Jackob to a tank (2 days for surgery)

Voting AGAINST parasiting.

>>40610678
>Accept and escort Jackob to a tank (2 days for surgery)
no parasite

>>40610959
>It serves no purpose other than to erase every bit of trust these people have for us and probably make dillon go rogue.
What kind of logic is that?

>>40610998
There is no way that Jackob will be capable of behaving the same while hes actively resisting us mind fucking him, and he WILL actively resist us mind fucking him. Hell, there is a good chance he will self terminate if possible in order to resist it.

>>40611024
Logic I have explained in the post at >>40611029, we wont be able to conceal it at first, as hes a relatively strong minded individual who is trained already to actively resist psychological warfare and will likely be able to fight us long enough to at a minimum allow dillon to realize something is wrong and at a maximum self terminate and/or damage the parasite.

>>40611029
Who said anything about mind fucking him? We're perfectly capable allowing a host to continue as normal.

Like you guys aren't immediately going to try to use him as a pawn as soon as you have the ability to. Seriously. We have electronic means of communication, give him a way to contact us directly that isn't surgically implanted in him if thats what you want.

Parasite to keep track of his implants.

"Hey check it out, it's like a pistol shrimp." Jackob says as he hands the flesh tablet to Lyle. He looks it over, intrigued.

"That looks new." Lyle says. Your speaker chirps up.

"Arms already improved! Adding to them faster than normal." Lyle thinks for a moment.

"Yea, what the hell." He says. He looks over to Dillon. "Sure you don't want something? You'll be all alone in the kidney motel with nothing but that dubbed action show." He flexes his arm, and the skin ripples and tears in several places from the unnecessary force. "I've had augs for a long time, and I gotta say, they make 'em quality."

"Quality!" Your speaker chirps as it bobs its head rapidly. "This way to the pods. Follow! Another speaker can keep the Dillon company if it wishes."

You're going to have to give a quick refresher on what design details you want a symbiote to have compared to the standard parasite.

Admittedly, I would be okay with parasiting him so long as we didn't mind fuck him at all, and just used the neurological interfacing to keep track of his health and communicate with him.

Exactly, which is why I am not condoning a parasite with him, because you people WILL abuse it and it WILL have ramifications that I have laid out.

We will want to establish diplomatic relations eventually, at the very least to prevent war if the Black Queen tries anything funny.

>>40611157

If we ever parasite anyone we aren't explicitly planning to use against their will, we should be up front about it.

Inb4 accusations of samefagging from the

>>40611268
If we give him our tech we make him an ally for life, without him having to be mind fucked. Have you ever heard the phrase "don't shit where you eat"? Well the same applies to shitting on the people who gave you awesome implants that only they know how to properly repair and maintain if they get damaged.

Then how are we going to destroy the implants when he gets killed do you want to include a self-destruct instead

>>40611157
The Symbiote has an oxygen recycler and a bio-electrical component/carapace, can act as both a defibrillator and pacemaker (though that's probably unnecessary with Lyle's constitution).

I would also suggest advanced components that allow Lyle to detect and deseminate himself radio traffic, sort of acting on instinct and directing the drone to replicate his voice so that he can talk on the channel without actually making any noise himself.

>>40611379
Well, lets just put that into the list of reasons not to let him die horribly. Also it means that if we do go with the "clone them all and get the clones murdered plan", they'd think hes a fake and not the clone.

>>40611157
>>Do not
Not without explicitly telling him what is entailed beforehand.

>>40611437
There's also the chance that he could be captured and could start selling his organs.
We could also explain to him what the parasite is and what it does if you are so worried about his loyalty.

>>40611527
Once again, a reason why we should actively avoid him being captured. Not a reason to parasite him.

Lyle looks over the details of the Pistol Sledge and nods. "Looks damn useful. Typically you'd need a drop suit or a two man team to hold one of those things." He looks up to your drone. "And thermal's always good, but my visor's too conspicuous to walk around with. Shoving it in my skull would make it a hell of a lot simpler."

"Are you listening to yourself?" Dillon asks.

"Oh, and you may want to get that second heart. It pays for itself right quick. You can take a sniper's round to the chest and keep on going." Lyle says to Jackob as he follows him and your speaker down the hall.

"Good idea. It's an up-sell, but I feel like I deserve it." Jackob says as the doors flex shut, leaving Dillon alone. After a few minuets he grabs the small tablet himself with a skeptical gaze.

Dillons paranoid, telling him we have something that can allow us to communicate directly with his brain will not help him trust us.

We're going to have to earn his trust the old fashioned way, by not betraying him and actually providing mutually beneficial work.

>>40611956
Keep in mind I used the descriptions in the 1d4chan page as well as vague memories of the threads.
Although that snakelike body and many legs isn't Skyl, that's the first predator on Leeland that we encountered. I remember the Skyl were described as 'avian'.

The infomation in the datacube clearly said the Skyl have many legs.

"Would the Lyle be interested in others? New eyes, better ears, interface for computers!"

"What are you, a car salesman?" Lyle asks.

"Not selling." Your speaker chirps. "Giving!" Lyle thinks it over quickly.

"I dunno, something about the thought of you rippin out my eyes is just a bit, unsettling."

"Not ripping. Will be very careful." Your speaker chitters its beak softly.

"Alright, alright."
