    Thread 3: http://suptg.thisisnotatrueending.com/archive/6218941/
    Your story so far has been an odd one.

    You were a slug. A slug that suddenly became sapient in the middle of a sinister laboratory filled with white-coated humans. Using your newfound wits, you managed to make your escape down a drain into the magnificent sewage city of a human city, pondering your existence and perhaps the existence of your deity, Slul-Hugoth, as you descended. During your time in the sewers, you managed to befriend a rat that you named Runt using innate telepathic capabilities and you also slew another rat, the entrails of which you consumed. After this feast, you instinctively cocooned yourself and you evolved.

    Your eyes became a little shorter. Your body became a little larger. Your head grew a little bigger. A pair of large fins sprouted out near the front of your body and a pair of smaller fins grew further behind them. Your vomit became a little more acidic. You used all of this to your advantage, eating rat and roach, spider and silverfish alike. You also laid your first batch of eggs and narrowly avoided death by cat, before you decided that it was time to evolve again, after training Runt a little more and leaving him to breed with his new missus.

    This is continued on the next post.
    >> Bio !LzFfkxZBAY 10/16/09(Fri)14:00 No.6298643
    A gaping maw turned into mandibles. Two large fins became four small waddling legs. Two small fins became two small waddling legs. Your capability for vomit vanished but instead it was replaced with a lethal harpoon. Your fleshy body grew a weak proto-carapace and the spinnerets of a spider. However, that doesn’t matter. What you came back to was not what you left there. Runt and his mate were both slain – by your own children. They appeared to be led by a mysterious figure that shrouded itself in legend – Schmahkah, one of your own children. Hunting down this Schmahkah, you managed to overpower him and consume him, after defeating him in single combat, although he also left you with serious injuries.

    And that is where we left off.

    Your harpoon tongue has been severed. This hurts. The left side of your face has been melted off by Schmahkah’s vomit. This hurts even more. A large and deep puncture wound is also left in one of your shoulders and you are slowly bleeding out due to it. Surprisingly, it doesn’t hurt that much – but it doesn’t mean that the wound isn’t potentially fatal. However, you have won. All that is left of Schmahkah is a bloody stain on the floor and all thirteen – wait, no, twelve – of your children are staring at you in fear. No one dares to challenge you.

    Your action?

    Your children did not lay any eggs - apparently they have only been around with four days. There's a chance they may have impregnated one another, but no eggs have been laid yet, as far as you know.

    Your children do not know of any medical algae or medical herbs. Those references confuse them. In fact, you don't know of such things either - this is a fairly filthy city sewer. Finding anything with healing properties is probably impossible.

    But as for your other requests - you want to order some to herd rats and some to gather food from the various fishing lines they have built, correct?

    We should make sure to take care of this batch and make sure to try and keep control over what they eat and when they are allowed to evolve and grow. We need to make sure that we are the most powerful in the group no matter what.

    If we can force the emotion of fear to where complex human minds are effected by our screams we should see if we can make the children extensions of our self instead of individuals.

    In the short term we are probably safe from further treachery due to the visceral nature of what our immediate children have just witnessed, but a third generation presents a problem for the time being, we need to seriously reconsider how we control further children.

    As a result, seconding >>6298744 , I would consider this most prudent since we've just eaten.

    With regards to the wound, I guess first priority is to arrest the bleeding, anything that could help prevent sepsis or the like would probably kill us. My reccomendation is that we get one of the remaining children to just sit on it for us. Act as a living bandage with about the same fleshy consistency as us.

    A metamorphosis requires food - lots of food that you currently lack. And while your less permanant injuries will most likely be healed in the process, an unspecified amount of time will pass.

    The last time you metamorphasized, one of your children became a tyrant and almost killed you - this is Schmahkah we're talking about, of course.

    Who knows what might happen the next time?

    In the end, it is your choice - you may want to be cautious, you may not want to be. The choice is yours.

    You're just outside your nest. It's a small area of the main sewerline that you have completely webbed over - there's web everywhere and your children find it very difficult to move across the sticky webbing. There are also a dozen fishing lines that you children have built, small lengths of string and floss pulled taut in the water, catching various objects on their lengths, including ragged pieces of discarded food.
    The sewage flow is a few feet wide and there's approximately two feet of walking space on each side of the sewage flow.

    To iterate this, have one of the children act as a living bandage. Acidic vomit strong enough to cauterise flesh poured directly into an open, flowing wound just seems like a terrible idea.

    To elaborate on why I think the vomit idea is a bad one: Clearly this wound has an open link into whatever circulatory system we have. We would, through diffusion, be flooding our veins with a liquid that burns on contact. End result, vast swathes of our flesh are consumed by acid from the inside out.

    Seconding this since my approach primary came from trying to avoid fucking killing ourselves in the process of dealing with the wound. Webs pretty inert, and should allow the wound to breath a bit and not reduce our range of motion, and if it turns out that it can't stop the blood flow, we haven't actually prevented ourselves from attempting other methods after that.
    >> PaperJack 10/16/09(Fri)14:29 No.6299015

    You've just eaten, really - so there's a lot of protein already being processed for silk production. To see how well it woks, you try to spin some form of bandage in order to cover your wound and restrict it and... it works reasonably well. The bandaging is almost immediately stained with the dark ichor that is your blood, but the stain does not spread. However, the bandaging is fragile. Any extreme movements and it'll snap - and if the blood hasn't coagulated by then, then the flow will begin anew.

    You begin to gnaw your way through your own webbing, recycling discarded silk by consuming it. You shape small holes, large enough for your young to be able to crawl through. You also begin to reinforce your fishing lines with your own silk - although, you try not to fall into the water. Your bulky form is far from designed for swimming.

    A trio of your young go out hunting for various forms of food - spiders, roachs, silverfish, that sort of thing. You set another trio with the task of taming, implanting small thoughts of what you had done with Runt to teach them. You set another trio with the task of collecting food from the fishing lines and stockpiling it by your side. The remaining trio - they are to remain in your company and you are free to question them as you wish.
    They all obey you eagerly, as if they always have. They're so... submissive. It's almost sad - in a way, Schmahkah was more of your son than these pitiful things. He had ambition that his siblings strangely lack.

    Or Make the three of them fight for the honor of being your right hand man. Make the winner consume the other two and -teach- him desire and strength. Even if he eventually bests YOU and takes over for our bloodline as a whole if he manages to kill you he'd might be better for the "hive".

    So it seems we have a consensus that bandage/fatherson bonding is a good idea.

    I don't support having some kind of battle to the death for this position since at this point all the offspring seem pretty much identical physically and mentally. With the possible exception of whatever rogue child may be running around somewhere. A further impetus to have regent in our absence.

    Prioritise consumption of new prey. Honestly we are going to need to metamorphose before we do anything big, and a metamorphosis without something useful to add to our genes is a metamorphosis wasted.

    We're living in a sewer, I'd suspect that taking precautions against infection beyond licking our wounds and not swimming in the sewage is kind of a wasted effort. Ain't a clean environment.

    I'd propose building up a stronger cult of personality among our young, impressing our will upon them even more than is currently the case. I'd guess that since they're only first-stage slugs their overall ability is way below our own level for now, since we're third-stage.

    One definite priority is to get them to gather as wide a range of samples of genetic material as possible. Fresh things, raw things, things with traits we can use in the future.

    Slul-Hugoth. That was the deity you dreamed up. You're not even sure if it's real or if it's false, but something has to be responsible for your sapience - and that something is not human. You inform your young of this, concealing your doubt as best as you can.

    I agree with the caste system being established, maybe we can separate the diets of a few groups to get specific traits that are beneficial to their caste. (workers only eat ants and spiders, scouts eat flies, soldiers could eat dead rats for extra size and strength, etc)

    Also, make it a point to reward those of our children that are most loyal/hard working. We will have to show a measure of generosity lest we alienate our children and see another rebellion.

    Divide them in the following castes:
    Worker:
    - eats mainly spiders and physically strong creatures.
    - will build and repair our nest.
    Soldier
    - eats mainly strong creatures.
    - will defend the nest and the biggest ones will be our personal guard.
    Gatherers:
    - eat mainly rats and strong creatures, so they get bigger and strong.
    - will be used as pack animals, but will be also deeply respected. Sortof like cows in India.
    Psykers:
    - will eat ?
    - will use psychic powers to mind control other creatures.

You have the power to veto an idea, which can be overturned by a 3/4ths majority. Of course, you serve your position for life, being the first leader and prophet of Slul-Hugoth. After your death, however, a new leader is chosen from the colony.

    Let's review the rules:
    - Thou shall not may mind-control another slug, unless allowed by the prophet.
    - If the prophet dies, our god will get very pissed and kill EVERYONE.
    - The word of the prophet is absolute truth unless he says it isn't.
    - Each slugs not only works for the prophet but also for every other slug. Everybody helps each other.
    - Thou shall not kill another slug unless authorized by the prophet.
    - Our cattle (rats for the moment) may not be killed carelessly. We must have at least a female and male.
    - Thou shallt not indulge in the making of eggs, unless allowed by the prophet.
    - Thou shall not eat another slug, unless allowed by the prophet.

    Done.
    Also including a bit of rat in your own diet.

    You pack away the food, preserving it in particular orders, saying exactly who is going to be eating what, so that no one gestates early. You decide that you will want your soldiers to gestate with you - so that when you awaken, you will have a fine force of soldiers ready for action.
    Then, you feast yourself. Rat, spider, fly, ant, toad... You eat it all. You gorge yourself and then you gorge yourself on the trash that your lines have caught. You feast and feast and feast until your body is covered in a disgusting ichor that you have subconsciously sweated out. You feel sleepy, tired... Your future soldiers are in a similar condition to you, practically cocoons already. You head toward a secure, partially hidden cubby hole in your section of the sewer. You rest. You sleep. You grow. You change.

    You evolve.

    I don't see how flight is worthwhile at this point, or any time in the foreseeable future. I mean, we'd have to get out of the sewers before seeing much advantage period, considering the cramped and low-ceilinged nature of the place. We'd have to run rather light to be able to take off, bypassing valuable defensive potential. And, of course, a flying target might well attract far more attention (and bullets) than we are prepared to handle.

    You awaken. You're used to it by now. This time, the shell doesn't slowly crackle as you struggle break free. It shatters as you burst out with a roar.

    Your mouth. No longer do you have a pair of mandibles - they appears to have reformed into a set of needle-like teeth in a gaping maw. Not quite the impressive gnashers that your son possessed - but still, quite intimidating. Your eight eyes have merged into four, bulbous, hooded eyes. Your harpoon appears to have grown back with a strong, muscular tongue. Your body is now rather slimy, its chitin having been weakened - it has regressed back towards a rough hide. Your body structure is like that of a bulldog - you have a large, heavy body but four squat, powerful legs, each of them tipped with lethal looking claws connected by webbing. You used to have six legs, however, and the central pair have shrunk, having folded in towards your chest - practically useless at this rate. Your spinnerets have also increased in size, along with you, although it's no longer in a position where you can throw webbing - only weave. Finally, your white hue finally seems to be changing - you're becoming a meaty pink colour and beneath your skin, you feel... bones. Proper bones.

    The situation is, almost unfortunately, just like how you left. Your three children that you have designated soldiers - Zovut, Menya and Shnur are their names - are struggling to escape from their cocoons, while your seven other children gaze at you in awe. Hm. It seems like two died in your absense.

    That is assuming their bodies are there. If there are no bodies, assume nothing, and ask where they are in case they went awol.

    But if the bodies are there, eat. Then swim.

    Wait for the soldiers to break out and ask how the two died, not to mention what the surroundings are like.

    Interrogate the slugs as to why two are dead, or have gone missing. Then feast on some resources. We must be starving, after just gestating.

    Greet children gloriously, interrogate soldiers for loyalty.
    Find something to eat (kids love food).
    And prepare for second class to evolve (spiders)

    Reward the loyal youngins with feelings of pride, joy and reverential awe.

    They have been true to us, and so we are pleased with them. We can quiz them about what happened to the other two while the warrior slugs hatch, there's time enough for that.

    "Patriarch! It's only been eight days, do not worry!"

    Now that you look around, you notice that most of webbing has been torn down - although there's traces of it where it was before. The fishing lines have also only recently been reconstructed.

    "Zerkov died to a cat and Halpitz... Halpitz... Man came down with canine! Canine ate Halpitz whole! Man tore this place apart! There was nothing that we could do about it!"

    Finally, your three soldiers - the companions that you had chosen for yourself - break out.
    Zovut appears to have developed four legs and a very thin fur coating over its flesh. It still has its old slug eyestalks, however, and it also possesses mandibles.
    Menya has a segmented body complete with chitin - but also has four legs, leading to a rather awkward stride. Menya also possesses mandibles and a pair of narrow, beady eyes.
    Shnur looks a bit different. The rat-slug body of Zovut, except with six legs. It possesses a long, agile tail and even ears - it also has a gaping, toothed maw and compound eyes.

    A human knows of our location? It is time for an exodus.

    Gather everyone and tell them that we must find a new home. Wander the sewers until we find either a corpse of something none of us have seen before or a small hole that can fit all of us and then some.

    Inquire more about the man.
    Which direction did he come from, for example.
    So we can go deeper into the opposite.

    I agree we must hide from man. He is our enemy but we must plan carefully to defeat him or all will be lost. Question them as to if he took notice of us or just his dog did, and how long ago

    Praise them for surviving the man's intrusion, and instruct them that it is time to leave this place, for now - still time for the brood to gather strength, to grow and evolve. We cannot do that here, not now that the humans are aware of our lair. We'll need to find somewhere that's harder for them to get to, someplace they and their dogs won't fit, and yet which still provides adequate food for us.

    How is the rat-farming coming along?

    I don't think we can quite take a human just yet. However...

    If our only goal is to get some bites of him, we can make like leeches. Hide in water, latch on to his ankle, take a nibble, run.

    Good point. Schmahkah was decidedly male, and we did absorb quite a bit of him.

    It's feasible - with a combination of webbing, hamstringing and surprise we could perhaps knock a human into the sewer flow and subdue it long enough to drown, but the attention that would draw would totally not be worth it.

    That's the problem with humans - not only are they smart, but they work together.
