> RELEASE THE OX

A Earthshaking roar of rsge and hate echoes put through the hive as Ox recieves your leave to enact his rescue of Twitch. The tunnels shake as the Destroyer charges forth at full speed. Minion drones flatten themselves against the walls and dive into alcoves as Ox barrels by. You catch glimpses of him through their eyes.

He dwarfs the oother members of your hive, second only to you on size.. His armor plates gleam like spiked, black mirrors, interlocking into an impenetrable shell of chitin as hard as steel. His head is coated in a thickened shell, thick and heavy it matches the rest of him. The sharp, thick tusks that jut from his jaw only serve to heighten the impression of an unstoppable juggernaut.

Ox shall cleanse these transgressors from the planet. If they are lucky, it will be quick.

>>1064641

Yeah Starscream to spot targets. Tiny is their partner so they come was well.

After this shit storm gives pause I suggest we find a way to the oceans. We can infect some octopus or other large sea creatures then thrive and multipley in the depths safe from harm and discovery.. Until we go full Kaiju

> send Tiny and Starscream.

You mentally redirect Tiny and Starscream to assist Ox, even the enormous Destroyer may need help. Tiny bows low and bolts off at a sprint while Starscream hisses and launches himself from the small hill above the hive, gaining altitude and speed as they follow the, Literal, path of destruction behind the enraged Ox. Desert trees are splintered, boulders shattered into gravel and an unfortunate tortoise is literally squashed into paste by the unstoppable charge of Ox. Vengeance is coming.

The soft earth of these western grasslands is torn in great chunks by your feet as you continue your full speed charge towards your injured companion. Rage hot in your mind. You should have been there with him. He gets hurt without you. Why didnt he just wait for you?

You feel the familiar presence of Tiny and Starscream as they follow, Tiny at a safe distance while Starscream rides the winds directly above you.

You near the ranch and slow to a stop as you catch your breath, Tiny sits nearby, snorting heavily. He is insistent that even a warrior of your... size... must take a moment to plan ahead.

Starscream swoops ahead, gaining altitude until he is a black dot against the blue sky. You both watch through his eyes as he circles the Ranch.

He spys 4 Human males attempting to repair the vehicles Twitch sabotaged with 2 more investigating the barn. He suspects the rest of the remaining farmhands are inside with the Ranch owners.

> FULL STEAM AHEAD.

You rise back to your feet, shakimg your immense bulk and set off at a lumbering trot that slowly accellerates into a full speed charge. Your visiom fades into a red mist as you give in to your bloodlust.

Tiny circles toward the barns, headed to intercept any that seek to flee towards the barn and also to silence the two patrolling farmhands.

I'm thinking that Starscream could become, essentially, a Xeno Night Fury, big enough to carry Twitch or Tiny into battle. Each of our named Xenos have been unique, and he shall be no different.

> 7. mild failure

You charge forward, the group of farmhands clustered around the truck the immediate recipients of your displeasure. Your thunderous footsteps alert them to your approach however and as you roar in anger one snaps off a quick shot that impacts the soft inside of your mouth

Ox- 2 damage!
18HP
28pts armor

You roar in rage and startled pain and reflexively change direction, crushing a car to scrap metal under the weight of your charge. The farmhands use the moment to spread out and continue firing from cover, the rounds plinking from your heavy armor without effect.

> what do?

> Tiny
> 12, slim success

You round the barn and are immediately confronted by a startled farmhand, the man barely has time for a terrified scream before you impale him on your tail spike, you lift the gurgling man into the air and grip his legs with your claws as you violently seperate your tail, splitting him into three pieces.

You are faced by 4 farmhands desperately trying to make a mark on your armor. Their rounds ricocheting harmlessly from the chitin plates. Enough of this shit. You rear onto your back legs and grab the shattered remains of the vehicle you crushed. You turn and fling it at two of the farmhands, the men barely have time to scream before theyre pulped. Tiny greets you over the hivemind as he leaps past you, impacting a unlucky famhand and ripping him to shreds. That leaves one terrified looking farmhands desperately trying to reload his pistol.

How loud can Ox roar now? At about 200dB sound becomes loud enough to kill, if Ox can reach that I say we grab the poor bastard and give him a good roar in the ear. Either that or have Ox channel his inner Vlad the Impaler and have him bring back the guy impaled ass first on his tusks to use as a breeder. Of course they'll have to go slow to make sure he doesn't sink too fast and die during the trip.

>>1065072
Instead of roaring just have him burp.

> Finish him!

You rear back onto your back legs, grabbing the horrified humans back legs in one massive claw while you grip his torso in the other. You can see the terrified humans inside the house watching with tears in their eyes and one young female screaming "Johnny! NO!" As you tighten your grip and pull in both directions. The humans agonized scream cuts off with a gory rip as you tear him in half. You idly toss his top half through the front window, earning another round of horrifed shrieks and inneffective gunfire. You snort in contempt.

Tiny jumps as a rifle round puffs the dirt near where he is currently devouring his freshly disemboweled farmhand. Your baleful gaze swivels to the other human who had been patrolling near the barn, he stands tall on the roof of the barn, frantically working the bolt of his rifle. He never see's the black streak that passes within inches of him.

You watch proudly as his rifle drops from nerveless hands. He drops to his knees, his torso begins to slide away diagonally before he drops from the roof with two wet thuds.

You eye the terrified humans inside the ranchhouse. You can see them, huddled around the severed torso of "Johnny" where a weeping young human female is desperately trying to wake him up. You bring your head into the shattered window and roar as loud as you can. The humans immediately collapse to the ground, covering their bleeding ears and flailing around weakly. Tiny and starscream bound inside past you, rapidly securing the humans in resin.

> Ox and Twitch reunion time

While Starscream and Tiny stack the resin entombed humans in a neat pile you have more pressing issue, your tiny companion and a nap. For starters. You send a mental message to Twitch. Its safe, come out already. From a secluded corner of the barn a small figure emerges, limping toward you rapidly. Twitch burbles happily and nuzzles your enormous snout. He has a partially healed crater in the carapace on back leg. You growl softly and allow him to clamber onto your back, resting between two armor plates. Lets get you back home.

As you head back to the hive, Tiny and Twitch riding atop the pile of captured humans, you send a message to the minions telling them to bring the newly acquired cattle to the rest of the herd along with the bodies of the slaughtered farmhands.

You leave behind smoking rubble and shattered vehicles. The large amount of bullet shells on the ground would lead Col-Sec to believe it was the work of human thugs or raiders looking to supply their ships.

> how do we want to use the eggs?
Also, have Grimalkin rusb egg production? (10 small eggs, 5 warrior) will stall egg production for a day.

>>1065440
let's start by using 10 of the cattle with small eggs and the 5 other warrior eggs on humans.
Grimalkin doesn't have to rush really it would reduce the qualiy of the eggs likely and would be detrimental to a potential "evolution" of Grimalkin in the future.
if we lay low for a bit we could setup some infrastructure and organized two team lead by either Tiny or Twich and have Bob receive more Drone to make a lot of tunnels and defenses in case of a counter attack.
We don't really need to be more than a hundred right now since it would cause food shortage and would lead us to unorganized rushed attacks.

>>1065440
poop out the eggs Grimalkin but slowly, No rushing.

>>1065440
Let's not rush the Queen. Use the eggs we got now on the humans and then the next eggs can be used on the cattle.

>>1065440
no need to rush yet. we can rush the eggs before we attack the colony if we need to but right now we're in no hurry.

> Do not rush egg production
> you are Ox

You make your way to the hive entrance after several hours. Tiny and Starscream begin unloading the hive as your hives new Builder and a pair of minion drones emerge. The Builder cradles Twitch gently and rushes him to the Nest of Healing after you remind him, pointedly, to be careful with twitch. You take your vigil by the hive entrance and fall into a deep, well deserved sleep...

> inside the egg chamber

Tiny and Starscream finish securing the humans to the wall and begin placing eggs in front of the chosen few. The rest can wait their turn.

> 3 drones implanted
> 2 warriors implanted
> No eggs remain.

> 35% progress on deep tunnels(Bob)

How does armor work, anyway? Is it a flat number that damage needs to surpass to affect the HP pool or is it an ablative value that is reduced before HP? It's a flat resistance value, right?

Was it ever explained?

>>1065519
> Switch to?
Tiny, let's make those minions earn their pay

>>1065519
Let's have those minions(and everyone really) get some food in their bellies, then help Bob out.

>Switch to Grimfandingo because I forgot how her name is spelled.

>>1065535
we already made another builder when were Bob, we currently have two.
We could switch to him maybe and work on a shaping chamber.

>>1065519
>Have two minions helping Bob
>the rest can herd the cows.

Use the communal area to have all the other morphs to look into the memory of the attack/Twitch to see how the human reacted and learn something.

>>1065547
Oh yeah, let's do that.

Maybe XenoQM could conveniently mention if that other builder is ready to mutate yet?

>>1065527
Ive been meaning to update the pastebin to explain armor. Its basically ablative.

>>1065519
Everyone feed in shifts. Then we work on getting those 67 moos.

Ohhhhhhh fuck okay hear me out ya'll!

He fuckin' nails the camo department, annoys the shit out of Bob, and turns Ox into an actual fucking hill with foliage and shit.
Then we invent the fucking wheel!

>>1065519
>>1065519
> Drones not occupied with shepherding duties will assist Bob.
> Switch to Starscream or Tiny.
> GORGE!
Gotta get a move on the evolution train.

By they way, I've found the perfect mutation/breath weapon weapon for Starscream; Chlorine Trifluoride.

A chemical so violently reactive that it will vaporize rocks, make water explode (releasing a cloud of acids), burn asbestos and ignite glass and sand on contact. Oh, it’s byproducts are carcinogenic, too...

WE ARE WINGED DEATH! DESTRUCTION IS OUR PURPOSE, AND HELL OUR HOME!!!

> You are Bob.. if I read the counts right.

You haul yourself from the tunnel. Your personal project is more intensive than you thought. You wave 2 minions into the chamber and they are followed by your younger match. The smaller Builder bows low and hurrys to assist the dronez to insure the tunnels quality.

You grab a bite to eat and contemplate the various projects you could accomplish today. You check in on Twitch, currently floating in a healing pod being tended by biomechanical limbs. Efficient and precise. Just like yourself. You snort proudly and continue on.

> build something?

>>1065603
It sounds like it would melt his face when he tried to do it, too.

Maybe stay away from the stuff that would probably kill itself to use.

>>1065605
Build a goddamn cannon. One we can strap to Ox's back.

>>1065617
Sooooo build a Shaping Chamber and THEN a fuckhuge cannon?

>>1065623
Yeah I'll back bio weapon lab.

>>1065605
> Shaping Chamber.
> Also, an expanded larder with means of keeping food safe for consumption for longer periods.
I'm assuming that the Xenos have just been keeping the meat sealed in resin until its chow time.

>>1065614
Ah, but the beauty of it is that Starscream could also get a Chemical Resilience that makes him immune to his own weapon.

If folks aren't thrilled by the idea, we can still make fucking bio-bombs with the stuff in it. This shit is worth investing in, just for the sheer destruction it'll cause. And its not like we have to worry about a little acid.

>>1065623
> Shaping Chamber
> Cannon
> Shells loaded with Chlorine Fluoride.

>>1065623
....Yes that's what I meant exactly.

>>1065641
>And its not like we have to worry about a little acid.

Other than the fact xenomorphs are not in fact chemically nonreactive and can be burned by certain acids.

And keeping in mind that the stronger the xenos get the stronger everything else will have to get to balance it out.

And it's a little unfair to the hoomans since their shtick is ranged weaponry and being clever, we start using tons of ranged attacks and it pretty much emasculates them. Well, until they start orbital bombardments and artillery barrages. But that beats everything.

Should also keep in mind the other room options from the pastebin.

> Secure egg chamber (Crafted doors and thick reinforced walls ensure safety of Eggs and security of captured hosts)

> Throne chamber (Highly secure, easily defended Central room housing the Queen)

> Underground pools (allows access to underground aquifers, who knows where they lead?)

> Sparring chamber (increases combat ability of warriors and drones. +1 to combat damage)

> Communal area (allows xenos to socialize more easily, a large open space with many incoming tunnels is good for surprises too)

> Pool of knowledge (allows a hive architect to research new mutations and apply them to create new egg varieties)
*this allows advanced mutations to instantly be created by a host instead of running through their whole mutation process.IE; allows you to create praetorian eggs or shadow eggs or Brute eggs.

> Murder holes (concealed tunnels throughout the hive allow rapid redeployment and ambush opportunities)

>>1065656
B-bu-but my overpowered Aliens!

I just like throwing in shit like this. You have to admit, it would be fucking terrifying being caught on the wrong end of the stuff.

> Glorious Weapons!

You take a moment to inspect your claws. They have served well and you know they would rend flesh in combat. But what you've seen in the Hivemind from the engagement with the humans, they may not be sufficient. You must improve your hives capability. You must keep the advantage in combat.

You come across a wide chamber, large enough to easily fit even Ox's bulk three times over. You clack your claws in preperation and set to work

You step back, surveying your work. Its not your best but you are rather tired and it is more than passable for the hives needs. The chamber is filled with small stations near pools of the ready made resin used to craft biomechanical muscles and chitin. Sturdy limbs descend from the ceiling with powerful and delicate manipulators fused together to allow weapon mounting on large units. Yes. This shall bring those filthy humans low.

> 16! Good success!
> Enhanced acid bombs for Starscream!

You set to work, mixing chemicals and crafting muscles and chitin. You call Starscream in and bid him to lay down, rapidly pushing his mind into adeep sleep. You incise the plates on his chest, exposing the sensitive nerves and tissues as you Integrate the controls with his nervous system. Next you craft the payload. A especially corrosive and reactive version of your own acidic blood fills 2 egg shaped chitin shells that will be mounted on his chest and abdomen.

You call Twitch in, minus a slight limp that fades by the minute he is mostly healed. you pick him up bodily and place him on the central station. Mentally you subvert his mind and he lapses Into a deep slumber. You repeat the process and Incise away the plates along his forelimbs, exposing the nerves and rapidly applying the biomechanical leads that will allow him to control the weapons. You craft specialized muscles and graft them to his forelimbs and encase them In chitin plates. Then you begin crafting the extending blades. Viciously sharp shards of chitin, they taper to needle sharp points after nearly a foot of razor edges. You, carefully, place them Inside their new sheaths and feel the muscles and tissues graft onto their bases. Twitch will carve a bloody path through anything he comes across.

you wave twitch away as he practices controlling his new blades. He squeaks in surprise as he extends them and accidentally lodges them in the floor. You snort in amusment and lift him, tossing him bodily out. He scampers off, possibly to show off to Ox as you head toward Food storage. You feel a curious desire to fill your belly beyond capacity. You drag several large deer to a secluded corner and begin your feast...

You push yourself out of the communal cuddle pile, headed for the food chamber. You pass Twitch and Starscream, both happily showing off their new "Upgrades" from Bob. You snort, miffed that you werent included. Well if you cant have upgrades built for you, you can always gorge and grow some. You push away an indignant minion drone and bury yourself in food, tearing into fresh meat with relish..

We should research a way to put embryos straight into hosts...kinda like the predalien did...except we'll be brining hosts before our queen and she'll stuff them with eggs. It'll be useful as it speeds things up and allows for multiple births from 1 host. Don't waste meat.

You sneak Into the chamber, sliding a massive claw Into the pile of gently sleeping xenos, grasping a small tail and yanking him free with a terrified squeal. You lift the panicked Shadow to your head level and give a triumphant screech directly In his face. You turn and Idly toss him back Into the pile with an Indignant yelp.

You mentally pressure a gargoyle and three drones to accompany you. They hastily drag themselves from the pile and accompany you. Youre hesded to Investigate that human outpost In the mountains.

Several hours later you arrive near the Outpost. You know it is relatively small, a couple dozen humans at most, located a few miles down the range

I mean, we plan on turning as many humans from the colony into hosts, to suffer a painful and horrific death after first being orally raped by facehuggers, but still.

Besides, we all know that Twitch will want to 'play' with them first.

They teach him how to up his prank game. Tiny will never be safe again.

>Group search. Wait till dark though.

You, for some reason, begin scratching complicated and unnecessarily complec series of plans in the dirt with a claw. Then, you remember that you sre a telepathic rape-murderbeast amd relay your orders via the hivemind. You will wait until dark and then proceed to scout the outpost.

Let's get this shit done. Also, dice just in case.

I'd been meaning to ask, are Starscreams wings his arms, or does he have a secondary set, like Grimalkin does? And has the rest of the Hive learned Psychological Warfare yet?

When the Deep Tunnels are done, we should have Bob either take a load off or gorge again. Meanwhile, the other Builder can take over for his break and lead the other drones in erecting defenses and traps in the Hive. Gotta make sure nothing can reach the precious eggs.

You wave forward the gargoyle as he takes to the air, mapping the Outpost from the air as you and your minions split up. Two drones head toward the mime entrance while another accompanies you. You see several buildings come into view through the gargoyles eyes. He sees a...

> Long squat building with several bright lights emerging from Windows

You set your eyeless gaze in the building with the large dish on its roof. You command the minion to follow you and set off, following the edge of the illuminated area.

You make your way to the Comms building and peer in through the window. A lone human sits at a terminal inside. A pair of headphones are on his ears and he is intently watching a screen while sipping from a steaming mug. You bare your teeth at the humans lack of vigilance

> Scout different building

>>1075351
> Scout comms unit.
Yes. We want to make sure that there is no way for the colony to make any calls for help before or during our attack.

I wonder if they've made any preparations for human raiders and space pirates? Increased guard patrols, curfew for citizens, spotlights at night, etc. The only person who saw us was that guard from the Abel ranch, and he was so terrified that his superiors must have thought he was tripping balls or just snapped, maybe even killed his own friend.

I'd be fine with MURDILATE, but if someone comes by and spots blood, they'll raise an alert.

>>1075710
That's fine, we can have Starscream do nocturnal aerial reconnaissance sometime in next few days. He doesn't have to get too close; all we need to know is whether they've mobilized their forces in anticipation of some kind of combat. If we can distract them by, say, triggering an explosion somewhere in the colony, our forces can then move in. Then, when we simultaneously bring down both the Comms in the colony and the Power Plant, they'll be crippled.

I still want us to do one last scouting mission of the colony, to investigate both the Col-Sec Headquarters and to check out the Mayor. Don't want to find out after the fact that the Mayor or the Col-Sec commander had a separate comms unit in their building, and they managed to send out a distress call.

>Scout security bunker, leave minion to supervise comms technician

You mentally order the minion to remain at the comms shack and monitor the technician. If he leaves or if a alarm is raised. Subdue him, alive if possible.

You creep slowly towards the security bunker and peer through the barred window. Inside you see two humans animatedly gesturing with colored rectangles of paper while a third takes inventory in a small secondary locked room.

You turn your eyeless gaze toward the long low building in which you sense multiple humans. Leaving only the faintest of traces in the thin rocky soil you make your way to the bunkhouse, peering through a window carefully.

Inside you see around ten humans either resting, talking or sitting around tables holding flat rectangles of paper and arguing good naturedly. You note that there are at least twice the number of beds as humans in the bunkhouse currently...

> 21!!!! CRITICAL SUCCESS!!!!

You make your way toward the mine entrance eager to sink your claws into human flesh. As you approach you take note of a thick cable connected the lights mounted in the ceiling of the mine. A spinning leap and slash leaves the cable in two sparking pieces. The lights immediately die while startled yells emerge from the depths of the mine.you adhere yourself to the ceiling with your minions in tow, time to hunt....

You star down at the humans several feet below you. They are advancing slowly, using dim lights in a single file line. As the middle of the group passes underneath you you give the order to drop.

With a grisly crunch of shattering legs you land heavily atop one miner, smashing his head into the rock while you last out with your tail and crush two miners against the wall with agonized groans. You see through the eyes of your minions as they tear flesh, shatter bones and rapidly secure the living miners in resin.

With a pathetic war cry a large human male rushes you with a pickaxe held high. Amateur. You spin to the side and spear him through the middle with your tailblade. You pin the gurgling human to the ground and rip his insolent form to pieces.

A terrified scream sounds from behind you as a human attempts to run and is instead tackled by the gargoyle. The mans groans and sobs of terror and pain are quickly muffled by a resin cocoon. You growl in pride of your minions. They've done well.

> subdue comms officer and security guards

You make your way towards the security shack while your gargoyle peels off toward the comms shack. You must silence their ability to call for aid.

The eager gargoyle taps gently on the door with his tail until with a sleepy groan of "ughh coming!!!" The technician opens it. Whatever human he had expected to see probably didnt look like the foot of spiked chitin that pierced his thigh. The gargoyle leaps in after him and the technicians pained groans are rapidly muffled by drying chitin. Once the technician is subdued the gargoyle leaps into action, smashing panels and screens, shredding wires and crushing circuits.

Meanwhile your minion drones stack up outside the security shack and take their positions as you take s running leap at the door. The secure hinges cant hope to withstand your charge as the door pops off its hinges, flattening a unfortunate guard. The remaining two guard stand rapidly and begin trying to draw their pistols while screaming at each other

"PHILIPS!!!! NO!!!"

"THE FUCK IS THAT THING!!! KILL IT!!!"

in the seconds available to them before they are overwhelmed by a tide of black carapaces one of them manages to get off a shot at you. It ricochets from the armor of your side with barely a smear. You rapidly educate him on his folly by lifting him into the air via a tailblade in the shoulder.

Only to be met with the barrel of a shotgun and a blast of hot lead into his surprised maw. The minion flops backwards, the back of his head a gaping crater. The door is rapidly barricaded with tables and beds along with the windows. Pistols and shotguns emerge and open fire onto your minions. They screech in rage and pain as their flesh is pierced and torn by bullets and shot. Your minions retreat with screeches of rage as the bunkhouse becomes a impromptu fortress.

You act quickly, these humans will pay for their insult and harm to the mighty hive. You mentally redirect your surviving drones and gargoyle. The gargoyle swoops down and shatters a window to the rear, filling his lungs and releasing a screech that not only shatters the windows but destroys the eardrums of most of the miners inside.

With the miners thoroughly distracted you raise your claws and tear through the ceiling, dropping among them with single minded fury. They. Must. PAY.

you face ten lightly armed miners. Most of them have their hands over their ears and are cursing "Tinnitus" as a "Cruel mistress". Perfect. Time to make an opening.

You separate your tail blades and lash out at the three closest miners, your razor sharp blades cleaving limbs from bodies and heads from their necks. You leap forward and slam a miner into the door barricade, crushing his spine and shattering the blockage. Your minions pour in, leaping and slashing at any targets available. The miners attempt to put up a last stand but you barrel into their group, hacking and slashing, nailing men to the walls and ceiling with your tail blades. Your minions follow your charge, quickly overwhelming the men and painting the inside of the bunkhouse in gore.

You send a minion drone to explore the depths of the mine. He darts away eagerly, crawling through the pitch darkness of the tunnels, searching for anything that can benefit the hive...

He comes to a tunnel face that has a large machine at the end of it. He also notices a large metallic mineral deposit on the tunnel face. From his eyes you deduce you can gather information on one of the finds..

The Drones can probably just be upgraded to dig faster through the Shaping Chamber or altering the eggs. This will be useful for the raid, and we won't have to worry about any more Warriors going down so easily.

Couldn't we use the digger upgrade to mine for minerals?

You are Grimalkin, you are currently reclinging gently on a growing lattice of biomechanical struts, the beginnings of a throne. You are reviewing Tiny's raid of the mining outpost which led to the death of a hive member. You relive the unfortunate drones last moments carefully, over and over, watching his last sights. These human "Weapons" are an advantage that cannot be allowed. You must arm your hives warriors appropiately in the future. Tiny must be punished for his brashness also. Your hive is not yet so numerous that losses can be tolerated.
