This hive node requests that biomass designation M a i d be made to inform this lictor of the location and all pertinent information as to the danger of the H u n t e r in this biomass Hive Nest. This hive node suggests this is the most dangerous known enemy currently- and an enemy forewarned is an enemy forearmed.

>>7181419
Finish consuming all of the other trophies. It'll actually look less suspicious if it looks like somebody just broke in, stole EVERYTHING, and walked out.

>>7181419

Sauce on OP's cutenids

Also, camo on the roof of the trophy room, mind control maid to let them in. Gas house, nom acolytes, ???, profit.

While making camorippers, use our synapse node to try and feel any other tyranid presence in the hive. There's supposed to be a genestealer cult up here somewhere...

Keep producing camorippers until we sense that either the maid regains consciousness or the acolytes arrive.

Er, ceiling, not roof.

>>7181444

then you'll have everything gone instead of one scorpion the size of a dog.

Not much missing in the first place.

>>7181444

Conflict: We have not broken in.
Conflict: What biomass would steal the trophies instead of gold-filigree around everything and or designation: S i l v e r w a r e ?

Hide lictor trophy, stand in it's spot. Very still.

>>7181467
Replace "hide" with "consume" and then do this.

>Rending Claws

We have super sharp claws right? Why don't we hide on the ceiling? DEATH FROM ABOVE!

>>7181467

Conflict: Lictor trophy consists of a mantis claw and arm. We are not just a mantis claw and arm.
Command: Find Hunter.
Command: Remember mention of Hunter's name.

>>7181467

The lictor trophy is but a single mantid claw.

>>7181475
>>7181467

Confirmed. Make sure maid is capable of receiving guests, and assume position of Lictor trophy. Do not eat any other trophies that are not already consumed.

>>7181442

The maid is up and about, back at work - How do you propose to coax this information out of her?

>>7181444

Confirmed: Consume organic trophies. What do you do with the bulkier archeotech?

>>7181445

I've collected them from the bowels of /tg/, don't actually know where they're from.

Confirmed: Hide on ceiling.

>>7181450

Confirmed at last: Genestealer cult is higher up in the hive, about seven miles away.

>>7181484
>>7181485

Then assume position of another trophy of appropriate dimensions.

It will be Hilarious.

>>7181495

/r/ing more cutenids as the thread progresses.
New Objective after current once complete: Establish contact with Genestealers.

>>7181495

Suggestion: Use Telepathy to make maid hallucinate vox call and proceed to recover pertinent information, or give impression that someone familiar is yelling questions from another room.

>>7181495
>Confirmed at last: Genestealer cult is higher up in the hive, about seven miles away.
How much can we tell about them? If we produced a synapse ripper and shoved it into a vent somewhere, would that strengthen our connection enough to allow for more information gathering?

Confirm: Hide on ceiling, chameleon-rippers hide behind trophies to the left and right of the door.

Suggest: Deploy obscura mines to be detonated immediately prior to ambush.

>>7181522

Only ones I have are the fex in the OP, the thrope from the last thread, and the biovore, which is already in circulation somewhere on the board.

>>7181495
Hide bulkier archeotech in empty ripper pouches. Or use some of the biomass from the trophies to help make a sac in which to carry them.

>>7181523
Let's not mess around too much with telepathy and other tricks. This is unnecessary, and finessing other intelligences is hardly our strong point.

>>7181550
Agreed.
Skip to the ambush already.

>>7181531

They are sufficiently established that they have a Patriarch/Broodlord, and several purestrains, as well as a number of hybrids. Dominance struggle with Patriarch is possible.

Currently, 7 camorippers are deployed, with the acolytes due in 10 minutes. Consensus on next move desired.

Query: How many entrances/exits in and out of the room?

>>7181532
Confirm: Breed mines with what time we have left.

>>7181533
Continue producing camorippers and hiding them.
Continue hiding.
Continue flooding location with background levels of obscura.
Try to sense whether Gordon Ovre is inside the house and can be eliminated/controlled right now. He is the biggest threat having previously encountered tyranids.

>>7181563

One exit leading to the entry hall, and one leading to the study, where the bookcase leading to the secret room is located.

>>7181561

Hide on the ceiling, have rippers find hiding places as well.

Consensus required: Two camorippers, or four obscura mines?

>>7181579
Obscura mines.

>>7181579

Confirm Obscura mines.

>>7181591
>>7181592

Obscura mines confirmed. Suggested placement of four mines and 7 camorippers?

>>7181579

Confirmation: Replace in following statement: >>7181568 with obscura mines. Have rippers ready to rip.

Obscura mines, properly hidden of course.

>>7181579

Mines for sure

The meeting will be held in the trophy room, right? Two on either side of the door, up above eye level. The other two under furniture somewhere.

>>7181579
One camoripper three obscura mines.

>>7181606
Two camorippers above the front door, to come down and seal it behind the acolytes.

One obscura mine in the vents, one in the trophy room with us, one in whatever room the acolytes are meeting in, and the last in the entrance hall.

Two camorippers with us.

One camoripper with the maid.

The last two camorippers patrolling the building.

>>7181633
Confirmed.

>>7181636
This is basically fine, although I'd move the rippers off patrol to sticking with us- they're basically animals.

>>7181633
How did you get the idea that they'll meet in the trophy room? We have no evidence of that, so far as I know. We're only in there because we smelled it.

For that matter, they might not try to "meet" at all when their inquisitor never shows.

>>7181636 And then we play the waiting game.

Also be cautious, we are not sure how anyone is armed or if they have any weapons at all.

Question: Soo there might be a psyker? Couldn't the psyker sense the psykic screams of the dead people?

>>7181636

Confirmed: Placements as directed.

As you're putting the finishing touches on the mines, the door chimes; The acolytes have arrived. The maid hurries to the entrance hall to let them in.

>>7181636

Agree with node, with 1 alteration.

Request two patrolling rippers stay in trophy room as well. No need to risk alerting biomass with previous hive experience. Take out acolytes and then find and destroy biomass Gordon.

>>7181670

Wait and observe

>>7181670
Where are we?
I would suggest the classic ceiling-drop, but that rather depends on where we are when the acolytes arrive.

Hide and watch. What ever information we do not learn from their communication, we can consume from them latter.

>>7181684
>>7181694

Agree.

>>7181684
>>7181694
>>7181698

The acolytes are ushered in by the maid, and proceed single-file through the trophy room, to the study.

The first is Perkins, a known Slaaneshi cultist, wearing typical inquisitorial garb. He seems to be toting a plasma pistol.

The second is a female adept, too busy checking something on a dataslate to notice anything amiss.

The third is branded with the symbols of the Inquisition, as well as those of the Adeptus Mechanicus. Gender unknown given the level of cybernetics, but it possesses numerous mechandrites, some armed.

>>7181744

GAS GAS GAS.

Have rippers take down the tech-priestess immediatly!

Er, dunno why I said priestess, confused the adept and the TP for that split sec.

>>7181744

Let's drop down on them now before they move out of range of our ambush.

>>7181752
For values of "immediately" that imply that we wait for the gas to start working on the others before attacking, that is.

Crank up our Localized Shadow of the Warp, just in case it'll help stop them from getting any word out.

>>7181764

Primary targets are Perkins and the cyborg.

>>7181774

Well, of course!

>>7181781

Don't forget the maid. She could run for help. Send the two patrolling rippers to incapacitate the maid, so we may feast on her brain knowledge later.

>>7181752

Require Confirmation: Detonate mines, or raise obscura levels through your own aerosol glands?

>>7181744
GAS THE PLACE WITH OBSCURA
FRENZON AND SLAUGHT SELF
Two rippers on the adept and the cultist- no brain eating.
Charge the Adeptus Mechanicus yourself with the remaining rippers, use Telekinesis to immobilize him, fire your plasma shot at him, fire your inferno pistol at him, flesh hooks to GRAPPLE, stinger him straight through like Bishop in Aliens (What does the stinger do again?) POUR TOXINS INTO HIS BODY THROUGH TOXIN SACS.
Telepathy order: ORDER THE ADEPT, CULTIST, AND MAID TO NOT MOVE A MUSCLE.

>>7181795

Detonate mines, tell rippers to start ripping, drop down on top of them while they're distracted.

Why not both? :3

>>7181795
Use our own obscura for now. The moment that they notice anything is wrong, detonate mines and hit them all with a mind blast while attacking.

>>7181795
Detonate the mines! Then jump and quickly kill the tech-priest since he probably won't be affected by the gas.

>>7181809

confirming agreement on both.

>>7181795

Both- gas the whole fucking house with obscura, and spray a high dose straight at these motherfuckers.

And after that, can we get a biomass report?

. . . and what would it take to learn swallow whole like the Red Terror got OP? Cause that and Old One Eye's regeneration are the coolest things out there. . .

>>7181744
Do we have to kill them?
They sound a lot luke my Dark Heresy PCs

Confirmed kill order: Techpriest, Cultist, Adept, Maid.

Two rippers each pop out of the corners of the room, latching on to the adept and cultist, while the one shadowing the maid strikes at the back of her neck, killing her instantly.

The mine detonates under the chair by the fireplace, as the obscura in the air increases. Distracted by the sudden rippers and explosions, the adept and cultist fail to notice as you drop down, impaling the techpriest with a mantid claw. You can feel your claw being scorched, as it passes through the techpriest's power-center.

>>7181832

Gonna have to happen sometime chum.

Also, confirmation on the red terror thing.

>>7181865

Knock the adept unconscious. We can implant her and implant false memories of a Slaaneshi cultist ambush.

>>7181865
QUICKLY NOW BEHEAD THE TECHPRIEST AND FLING HIS CORPSE AT THE ADEPT REDIRECT ALL RIPPERS AT THE CULTIST DOUBLEAGENT AND POUNCE THAT GUY YOURSELF DEVOURING HIS BRAINS.

>>7181829
>>7181869

You have enough biomass to develop more or less whatever you want. At this point, time is the salient resource.

To devour things whole would require four hours of hibernation in a secure location, as your anatomy rearranges itself.

>>7181889
I find this hilarious.

Make sure that techpriest is down for good before turning on the cultist. I don't want to have our back turned only to find out the Techs going to be able to pull some sort of attack.

>>7181903

Thats fine. Mine the place with obscura at every possible entry point, nom the remains and hibernate somewhere obscure and camo'd.

rolled 3, 3, 3 = 9

>>7181903
Make sure to devour the techpriest's brain. We need to know how to use the tech we've picked up.

Lictor with Power Fist. Tears of Win.

>>7181914

I believe we took some cultist paraphernalia from the orgy we slaughtered, we can plant some on the maid and leave a few tattered scraps around the battlefield.

>>7181903
Do it!

Rip the inedible parts of the techpriestamabob into tiny nonfunctional pieces, and eat the rest.

>>7181921
I don't really think that we need swallow whole. We can nom people perfectly well as things stand. We're not really using game statistics here anyway.

Besides, we have important tasks to undertake, and the clock is ticking. We need to talk to the genestealers, then set up three more power plants to shut down on command. Then, if we're exceptionally bold, we can sneak onto a spaceship leaving the planet to escape the imminent Tyranid attack, serving the swarm by preparing to call down a fleet onto their next port of call.

>>7181893

Confirmed.

In a single movement, you remove the techpriest's head, lob the body at the adept (knocking her over), and the rippers swarm from all quarters upon the cultist, who shrieks in ecstasy as they begin to devour his flesh.

>>7181948
Listen to this man.

But why not keep the acolytes alive, under our control, and pretend to be the inquisitor?

>>7181927
Why?

Anyway, have we finished killing them yet?
Drop a symbol, just cos we can and in future will have little/no use for it.

I reckon we make tracks to the Genestealer cult hideout now.

>>7181951
Bangin'

>>7181903

Devour whole was the coolest damn thing, completely removing one threat- no armor, invuln, or bionics saves. That would've been damned useful with the techpriest, and will probably be just as useful when we run into MUCH bigger threats.

Save the adept please, use her for implantation/mind control as our fleshpuppet.

>>7181951

>who shrieks in ecstasy as they begin to devour his flesh.

Pain is not supposed to be pleasurable.

>>7181971
Endorphins can do crazy things.

>>7181951

Knock out the adept if she's not already unconscious. Implant her and change her memories so she recalls a Slaaneshi cult ambush, led by the maid. Plant some of the stolen cult stuff on the maid and scatter a few more bits around the room.

>>7181969
MAKE HER A MEAT PUPPET! Barring that implant memories of a cultist ambush.

>>7181971
Talk to Slaanesh, cause the materium ain't listening.

>>7181980
We might as well finger the actual cultist in the room instead of the maid.

That said, we'll have to remove all the bodies, lest they notice that none of the wounds match cultist style, but aside from that this plan seems reasonable enough.

>>7181978

But that means you're high off the Endorphins and not the pain. Unless you're talking about warping your mind to enjoy....

>warping
>Cultist

I really need to think these things out.

>>7181948
But it would be so cool!

>>7181969
Too late.
We don't need the swallow whole ability.

>>7181948
>Then, if we're exceptionally bold, we can sneak some of the genestealer cult onto a spaceship leaving the planet to escape the imminent Tyranid attack, serving the swarm by preparing to call down a fleet onto their next port of call.

Confirmed: Save adept.

A quick rap at the back of the head knocks her out, as your rippers finish off Perkins. You turn to consume the techpriest, and are met with an electroshock-bullet to the chest, sending your scales temporarily on the fritz, flickering colors wildly. Standing in the doorway is a man with a handlebar mustache, in his pajamas, wielding some sort of custom, solid-shot weapon. Gordon Ovre.

>>7181948

GK Terminator comes up/high level admech. Their invulnerable save? No use. Armor save? No use. Initiative? Lower than the Red Terrors. Their bionics? No use.

Agree with >>7181829
>>7181969
>>7181994

After this battle, take five and get Swallow Whole. For the Great Devourer.

>>7181992

We could finger them both, we'd reveal Perkins as a plant who set up the ambush with help from the maid.

We could even plant memories of the Inquisitor showing up and dying so she doesn't wonder why she didn't show up.

>a man with a handlebar mustache

WE'RE ALL FUCKED!

>>7182009
FUCK! I TOLD YOU SO! I TOLD ALL OF YOU! NO ONE LISTENED!

Rippers, all of them, swarm him while we go and dissapear- then attack from another direction! Telekinesis, stinger, toxin sacs, the whole full damned list, use EVERYTHING you have to kill him. Spray Obscura. Drop mines. Slaught and frenzon and adrenal glands yourself. TRASH A VAN PELT BEFORE HE TRASHES YOU.

>>7182009

Inferno pistol to the lower body.

>>7182009

Shit. Send all rippers on the attack, shoot back with our inferno pistol, I bet he won't expect that.

>>7182009
I like the cut of this man's gib! A Saxton Hale of the 41st millenium!

rolled 3, 6, 5 = 14

>>7182009
Knock him out.

FIRE EVERYTHING! BIOPLASMA, PISTOLS, MIND BLAST EVERYTHING!

>>7182040
>>7182038
>>7182050

HIVE CONSENSUS: FIRE EVERYTHING

>>7182009
Poison spit, right to the face. Also, telekinesis to grab his gun away from him. Then we have one of our rippers jump him from the side.

He must say "Clever girl..." before he starts screaming as we eat him alive.

>>7182009
Mind blast while dodging whatever he's going to shoot us with, then hit him with everything.

Also, I'd have sworn that we were told the maid was the only lifeform in this building.

>>7181951
>who shrieks in ecstasy as they begin to devour his flesh.

>>7182040
Note: This will end up being our pistols last shot. I don't think we reloaded it before sticking it in our tail.

Dose the man with slaught so that he frenzies and loses his cool. The greatest advantage he has over the others we've killed is his mind.

kill him eat him, grow moustaches

>>7182060
>only lifeform in the building

SHIT HE'S SECRETLY A NECRON

>>7182064

We have a plasma pistol to replace it, so long as we survive our encounter with this alpha-human.

>>7182071
FUCK YES! WE NEED TO START GROWING MUSTACHES ON ALL OUR ILK.

>>7182038
>>7182039
>>7182040
>>7182041
>>7182046
>>7182050

You use your telekinesis to toss him across the room, riddling him with shots from your various weapons. He crumples to the ground, coughing up blood as you approach. His one good eye stares up at you as you stand over him, preparing to feed - And the remnants of his mouth twist up in a knowing smile. You can hear a ticking sound emanating from his abdomen, through which you can see something metal, with wires running to his heart.

>>7182071

agree with hive node.

Mustaches can only strengthen the hive.

>>7182041
Look, if it was Saxton Hale, we'd be fucked.

But Saxton Hale doesn't wear pajamas. We're safe.

>>7182090
......Clever man.

>>7182090
RUN LIKE FUCK

>>7182090

Jump away. Any direction as long as we're away from him.

Challenge Gordon to an armwrestling competition.

>>7182090

SHI-!

Grab knocked out tech priest and run!

>>7182090
RIP BOMB OUT OF HIS CHEST AND THROW IT FROM THE BUILDING
advicedoomlictor.jpg
BECOME MOST AWESOME LICTOR EVER

>>7182090
Telekinetically throw him out the nearest window.

Consensus required: Grab bomb and toss it out, or grab unconcious adept and flee as quickly as possible?

rip his head off, nab the adept and flee the house or tear the bomb from his chest with Telekinesis and throw it far away from the house.

>>7182118
>>7182124
Throwing bomb out is superior solution. Save the precious biomass!

>>7182090
RUN THE FUCK AWAY!
Wait ten minutes, if there is no explosion, re-enter building for phat lootz.

Take the bomb out of him and chuck it chuck norris style.

>>7182009
dammit

>>7182134
This.

Grab bomb and toss it out

OH FUCK GET OUT.

At best it will destroy everything, at worst he is using a stasis bomb. Not only would we be basically dead, but proof of Tyranids on the planet. Order everything out of range NOW!

>>7182130

Grab the adept and run like scared little french girls

I don't think a trophy room is likely to have large glass windows that allow for a body to dramatically crash through before an explosion occurs.

I suggest we chuck him out of the trophy room (around a corner), and hope for the best.

Maybe some of that archeotech would make a nice shield. Or the tech priest.

>>7182149
>>7182141
>>7182134
>>7182124
>>7182118

>>7182124

Analysis: Greatest chance of survival.

You hurl the dying hunter out through the window, shattering it in the process. A loud explosion can be heard from outside, rocking the house's foundations and blowing in the other windows. Probable time window between now and Arbites arrival: five minutes.

>>7182130
Telekinetically throw the bomb WHILE running.

Bio plasma the bomb.

>>7182118
>>7182134
>>7182141
>>7182148
>>7182149

CONSENSUS: GERT RID OF THE BOMB

rolled 5, 4, 5 = 14

>>7182167
DO WE HAVE TECH KNOWLEDGE NOW?

WE'RE GONNA FUCKING NEED IT

>>7182167
If we are found here, it will cause all sorts of problems. We need to modify the adept's memories and make all the other bodies disappear, then get gone before the Arbites arrive.

Man. Those pesky Arbites always turn up to ruin a party.

>>7182167
Remove all signs of tyranid presence and (if enough time remains), plant signs of slaaneshi cultists. Then escape to a safe distance and observe.

Grab the Tech priests' head, the maid and our rippers then GTFO!

>>7182178

You'll need to devour the techpriest's brain (What hasn't been replaced by cybernetics) to acquire that information.

>>7182167

Eat techpriest remains, eat maid corpse, grab Gordon's gun, take all evidence of tyranid existence here and the adept and RUN FOR IT. Head somewhere you can LICTORJUDGE to be safe and quiet enough.

>>7182185
>>7182185
>>7182185
THIS!!!!

>>7182167

OK, plan "Frame the cultists" is a bust, wipe the adept's memories, gather up all the rippers and book it the hell outta there, preferably towards the upper hive.

tear his head off, nab the adept, consume sweet brainmeats.

How long will it take to devourer brains, and frame cultist? If to long devourer techs brain, and cultists and do your best to clean your presence here.

Perhaps order rippers to burrow away?

Is setting fire to building a legitimate way of covering our tracks?

>>7182167
Extract techpriest brainmeats and cultist brainmeats. Take adept with us if possible, extract brainmeats if not.

Then bring the entire building down as we make our escape. Try and take the techpriest's corpse with us, though; we might be able to repurpose his cybernetics, or even find a way to make our own version.

Dammit, the explosion would've covered our tracks for us!
Are there any lamps or candles we can knock over onto the curtains or table cloth?

>>7182192
Eat the techpriest brain and even the metal augmetics- we're tyranids, we can eat through goddamned plasteel.
Eat the cultist. Eat the rippers. take the rifle. grab adept.

RUN LIKE A MOTHERFUCKER.

>>7182196
We still need to stop the daemon summoning because, last time I checked, daemons aren't delicious biomass.

Recall everything, get the fuck out as soon as we can. If possible, nom some brains before we leave, but be sure to get out. We can't afford a fight with arbites at the moment.

>>7182206
>>7182204

You stuff the cultist and techpriest heads into one of your pouches, sling the adept over your shoulder, command the rippers to burrow away to safety, and take out the house's central support beam, bringing it down as you flee out the back and up a beam, towards a safe vantage point.

>>7182217
We killed their cult leader and their psyker; we should have at least delayed the summoning, if nothing else.

>>7182217

That's in two days.

Grab the adept, consume cultist and techpierst, run and hide for four hours while you learn to swallow whole. Prepare to psychically interrogate the adept. for ALL she knows.

>>7182217
See if our Shadow in the Warp works like a blank where Daemons are concerned. If it does, we can probably devour them too.

>>7182206
>Try and take the techpriest's corpse with us, though; we might be able to repurpose his cybernetics, or even find a way to make our own version.

I know it's been a DOOMLICTOR thing for a few threads now, but since when were Lictors (or any 'Nids) capable of recognising, incorporating an operating everything under the sun?

>>7182237

Keep adept sedated by a surrounding of obscurarippers which keep her intoxicated while we hide in a warehouse or somewhere secluded and empty and grow devour whole.

>>7182237
Excellent. Now conceal ourselves a safe distance away and modify the adept's memories to include a Slaaneshi attack, during which the Inquisitor ordered them to flee and regroup later before being killed.

Great what do we do with the adept?

Implant mindwipe?

>>7182241
>>7182250
We don't need devour whole! We need to contact the genestealers in the upper hive, set up a couple nests of synapse rippers to maintain communications, and then rig the power plants in the lower hive to shut down.

>>7182253

Shit, we shoulda dropped a few bits of cult stuff in the house

>>7182256
>>7182253

What we have is a person who is addicted to gathering knowledge.
What we are not going to do is destroy or tamper with her memories.
What we are going to start with doing is psychically taking every bit and piece of information from her mind possible. All of it.

>>7182268
...or we could drop a modified ripper in the ruins and order it to sneak around and start implanting Arbites.

>>7182274
All of it might take... a long time. Wouldn't we be better off setting her up to distract our enemies and moving on to our other objectives? We don't really need to know the minutia of her life and random information about Inquisition-related trivia.

>>7182274

You retreat to an abandoned sub-level above the house, having a tasty snack of the techpriest and cultist heads while you stick the adept to the wall with bio-secretions, rendering her immobile and secure, all set up for "interrogation".

>>7182292

A lone ripper trying to stealthily ambush arbites and implant them without any of the others noticing? Not likey.

>>7182265
We have four days before fleet arrival. The daemon summoning can occur, at the earliest, in two days. The genestealer cult isn't going anywhere now that the Inquisitorial forces on-ground have been routed.

Proposed Schedule:
Next four hours- hide and get Devour Whole for bigger single threats like a Grey Knight, BROODLORD/PATRIARCH or a DAEMON
After- Fully mentally interrogate adept. Turn her into accomplice if useful, if not, devour for the Great Devourer.
After- End day four, begin Day Three- Rally genestealer forces, spread hive node net of rippers throughout hive.
End of day Three- Destroy cult with genestealer forces utterly.
End of Day Three- Destroy all power plants, starting with nearest. Encite riots in others to destroy them by using slaught' and Frenzon Mines.
Once Hive Fleet has arrived:

Consume.

I say we ignore the arbites. What we need to do now is make our way to the genestealers.

>>7182274

We aren't here solely to gather intel, we're here to sow terror and eliminate possible resistance to the incoming hive fleet.

The best way to do accomplish all that at once is to focus the authorities on fighting purging a Chaos cult trying to summon a Daemon. Not only does it distract them, it keeps the cultists from actually summoning the Daemon.

>>7182307
Don't bother with full on interrogation. Just plant false cultist-related memories, wipe what really happened, and leave her to wake up somewhere while we move on.

i fail to see how devour whole is going to be this miracle end all be all of a combat move you herp derps seem to think it is.

table top rules, yea it is a instant kill move.

this is not table top.

if we swallow something big and armored it could be alive, inside of us. Alive. Inside us. Not dead. Pissed off, and armed.

tl;dr devour whole = retarded idea.

>>7182298
The Hive Mind of the Great Devourer- taking anything more than thirty minutes to examine the mind of a human? Even an adept, a consumer of knowledge? The Great Devourer is a horror Out of Space and nigh beyond time. They are the consumer of galaxies, a plague that has taken its time to travel below light speed in stasis from galaxy to galaxy. The Hive mind knows time in a scope that the information of an adept would be NOTHING to compare to. NOTHING. Take everything from her mind, for the Great Devourer.

>>7182334
I disagree with modifying our internal structure so drasticaly. Everything else is a good plan.

>>7182368
Agreed.

>>7182369
We're not the Hive Mind of the Great Devourer, we're one Lictor, though a badass one. Our capabilities are not as extensive as if we had an entire hive to draw on.

>>7182368
Swallowing a Grey Knight whole just seems equivalent to someone suggesting that you swallow a very angry, psychic caseless blender whole. While it's turned on.

>>7182369
we are not the hive mind.

>>7182334
I like the general gist of your idea, but sending the genestealers at the cult seems wasteful. It would be more efficient to send the arbites or the inquisition at them.

return to the room we destroyed and quickly scatter some cultist paraphenalia around it then return to the adept and implant her before interrogating

>>7182347
the more intel you have, the easier it is to meet your ends. There are 4.5 days left until the fleet arrives, and 1.5 days until the shadow arrives. shit can still go wrong and we need to get as much knowledge of the hive as possible to ellude detection. Then sow terror when the shadow of the warp hits.

>>7182368
agreed. Swallowing a greyknight is just asking to be gibbed from inside out.

>>7182368

Devoour whole can be performed on anything under T5- what's stopping us from devourering a Grey Knight when this power was designed and specifically mentioning that it could consume SPESS MAHREENS? In the same edition as the Grey Knights came out no less.

Awaiting consensus on next course of action: Implant adept, interrogate adept, or insert false memories and abandon adept?

Mind-enslave the Adept and have her wave off the Arbites.
Inquisitorial business; none f your concern

SWALLOW GRAY KNIGHT WHOLE
adviceretard.jpg
WHAT DO YOU MEAN I AM NOW CHUNKY BLOOD SALSA?

>>7182404
Insert false memories and abandon. Do not implant, in case she's subjected to a detailed medicae examination.

interrogate adept

implant, interrogate

>>7182404
Implant adept with fake memories to sick the arbites on the cultists. Then consume the delicious biomass that ensues from the battle.

>>7182410

GOD DAMMIT YOU FUCKER I LAUGHED SO HARD MY RIBS HURT.

FUCK.

>>7182419

Confirm?

>>7182401
this is not table top rules.

this is both a good thing (look at how awesome our lictor is) and can be a bad thing (swallowing gray knight = perhaps not instant kill like you think). double edged sword. lets not chance it.

>>7182368
>>7182372
>>7182381
>>7182392

You idiots are forgetting something: You know how Tyranids are so good at taking stuff apart on the outside? How it's built around consuming stuff? Imagine how wonderfully efficient this monstrous creature must be to be able to consume and strip down biomass such as the tyranids do.

QUERY THAT MOTHERFUCKING GOBLIN: Can a Swallow Whole attack completely destroy a Grey Knight as it would on the tabletop?

Also: INTERROGATE ADEPT: We need to know what other inquisitorial shenanigans are going on here. The Inquisition is simply fuckking everywhere man, fucking up plans of other races constantly. . .

>>7182391

The trivial amount of information we would get from the adept is not worth losing the chaos caused from leading her, the authorities and the cultists head-first into each other.

>>7182444
Confirm.

>>7182444

DENY INTERROGATE ADEPT.

>>7182419

Confirm this.

Confirm

>>7182452
We just ate the minds of multiple other Inquisitorial minions! The adept isn't going to give us anything more substantial than they will in all likelihood.

>>7182372
>>7182388
>>7182409
>>7182467
>>7182425
>>7182421

Consensus: Interrogate/implant and interrogate.

chunky blood salsa here.

>Insert false memories and abandon. Do not implant, in case she's subjected to a detailed medicae examination.

do this.

>>7182419
>>7182432
This.
No time for a detailed interrogation, we need the Adept there as soon after the Arbites as possible, preferrably before.

>>7182452

The reason I'm still laughing at the blood salsa thing? Because it's true. You would not be able to digest something coated in ceramite fast enough to prevent it from carving it's way back out, and strangling you with your own intestines.

That said: Interrogate adept, or implant cultist attack memories and let the arbites go play with the cultists?

>>7182477
That's false consensus; there are just as many people favoring false memories/abandonment.

>>7182487
>implant cultist attack memories and let the arbites go play with the cultists?
That. Seriously. Best plan.

>>7182487

Well shit. Oh well.

I imagine devour whole depends on tough grindy bits on our insides that break bones and armor and cut flesh. You know, like teeth, only through our entire digestive system. Makes things faster.

If we put ultra-tough teeth all over our insides, we could devour spess morons no problem.

>>7182503

Agreed. Implant memories and abandon.

Watch the fireworks.

>>7182503
>>7182524

>>7182503
>>7182524

Confirmed: Insert false memories, then abandon.

You pry the adept from the wall, cleaning the excretions from her as you quickly implant the desired memories. Depositing her atop the rubble of the domicile, you flee just as the Arbites are arriving, and observe them making a beeline for her. The cult is in the Arbites' hands now - You have a genestealer cult to locate and dominate.

>>7182552
gtfo

>>7182548

Can we start pumping out 'Stealer pheremones based on all the blood we downed way back in part one? If so we can emit that along with our own pheremones to help draw them to us.

>>7182552

. . .
BUTTERFINGERS.

>>7182552

Deathly Sorry have fucked up

>>7182552
I hate to tell you this, but that entire list would lose to our PC doomlictor.


>>7182548
Move upward in the hive with stealth, pausing after a couple miles to make a nest of several synapse rippers capable of maintaining communication between the upper and lower hive.

Suggestion: Do not contact genestealers or patriarch directly. Watch/learn to see what plans they have, judge whether plans useful to us, judge whether patriarch would help us, or hinder us.

>>7182577
This and see if we can have somehow have the rippers keep an eye on what the arbites and our acolyte decoy are up to.

>>7182568

You could try, but they're likely to remain in their nest to avoid detection.

>>7182577

Confirmed: Large colony of synrippers inserted between levels of the hive to maintain the net.

>>7182592
Excellent. Now... can we communicate with the genestealer cult without actually going up there and wasting a bunch of time in transit? If so, I'd like to get an idea of their numbers, capabilities, and plans.

>>7182592

Damn. Well, let's continue up, all sneaky-like.

>You have a genestealer cult to locate and dominate.
>dominate.

Can't we just coordinate with them?
Arrange or some convenient riots, sabotage and misinformation, then leave them be?

>>7182552
>>7182577

How would it destroy the tanks and survive the air support, while taking down so many armored troopers?

>>7182620

Inferno pistol to the rear armor.

>>7182585
>>7182589
>>7182612

We're all working for the same Great Devourer, why would we have to fight? Dude, Hive Fleet's comin'. Cool? Cool. Let's bounce on some mo'fuggin' hive workers. Word? Word. Word.

>>7182620
It would stalk them until they weren't all combat-ready, preferably until they were encamped. Then it would breed up several dozen rippers, many of which could spew bio-plasma and others of which had camo. Sneak attack the greatest threats, and it's all over but the screaming.

>>7182612

I think we're going to need the genestealers. We have three more plants to sabotage. Doing so one by one is too risky, and will alert the biomass that something is going on.

We need a coordinated attack on the remaining three, within the next few days. With any luck we can take down all the plants 1 day before the shadow arrives.

Wouldn't it be awesome if we ended up dominating the genestealer cult and trying to control the splinter fleet, eventually conflicting with and attempting to dominate the fleet hivemind?

Only to find out at the end that an Inquisitor had genetically modified us in order to avert a new tyranid invasion and that we've been his puppet all along.

I would shit bricks.

>>7182655
Our current plans for "attack" consist of sneaking into each one in turn and planting loads of spore mines filled with slaught in the ventilation systems, so that a quick psychic trigger drives all the workers to bloodlust. Given our stealth abilities, that plan has a low probability of detection on our own, I think.

What is your next course of action: Locate Genestealers, contact Genestealers, or... Actually, those are the only viable options I can think of.

>>7182673

That would take days we don't have, and the synaptic web it would require to keep all the mines linked to us would be damn obvious to psykers on the planet and worse, to the Knights in space.

>>7182673

assuming the biomass doesn't accidentally find our spore mines. When the time comes, I would prefer to send in some genestealers to make sure the job has been done.

Contact Jeanstealers

>>7182691

Contact them. If they aren't receptive to our ideas, we can retreat and think of something else.

>>7182673
Agreed.
It will be stealthier to Slaught-mine all 4 stations than it would be to get the cult to attack even just one of them, UNLESS the cult already has people at the Off switches of one or more.

>>7182691

Locate genestealers. Do not contact. Find out where patriarch is, and what they are doing.

>>7182707

Confirmed: Contact genestealers.

You are able to pinpoint them as being approximately two miles directly up, in the mansion of one of the planet's ruling families.

>>7182691
Contact them. We don't need to actually go up there unless they need our personal help in the upper hive for something; now that communications can be maintained we have plenty to do down here.

>>7182732
Well, send them a psychic hivemind IM.

Lets scout out the genestealers before contact. It would be best to get a little info on them before showing up to talk.

>>7182739

Send them a smiley. Genestealer bitches love smiley's.

>>7182739

Commencing synaptic link with Patriarch... Done.

Response inbound...

<Identify yourself.>

Genestealer Patriarch is probably more psychically powerful than we are.

He may try to dominate us to assist in his own missions, leaving our goals uncompleted.

>>7182699
We already have multiple syn-ripper broods around the city - if we're going to get found, it'll happen too late, I expect.

Either way, any method of dealing with the mines will de-activate the plant for a goo dlong time - in which time we can trigger the other 3 plants.
If all four are cleansed simultaneously - perfect, mass power outages that will probably lead to rioting mere hours before the Shadow hits.

>>7182763

"Hive Lictor".

Request information on genestealer activities.

>>7182766
Then we identify only as Lictor. He doesn't need to know what all we can do.

>>7182732

Hmm. Going waaaay back to Kurn's memories, who was his Ymrgal blood supplier in the DeHouvres house?

>>7182763
DOOMLICTOR reporting.

Give a brief rundown of our objectives and what we've done. Request information on any overlapping objectives that the two of you could assist eachother with. Swap information that would help eachother.

You know, be a bro. A Lictor-bro.

Skin a bear and take its bone as a club.

"We are the Harbinger of the Great Devourer. The end is near. Are you ready to assist us in the feast?"

DOOMLICTOR

List our mission objectives, ask for theirs. Swap information.

>>7182786

I do not think we should be a bro. Patriarch is not completely part of hivemind. Can be selfish. May try to dominate us. Request information. Do not give them any until we know their plans and if they may try to dominate us before we complete our objectives.

I think we are auto sage'n.

>>7182795

>>"We are the Harbinger of the Great Devourer, DOOMLICTOR. The end is near. Are you ready to assist us in the feast?"

Fix'd.

>>7182763
<we are DOOMLICTOR>

<we do COCAINE>

<have been tasked with work in lower hive, wish to coordinate with comrades in upper hive>

I believe this thread is at its limit.

>>7182827
Thank god for that - I'm on GMT, and this quest has turned me half-insomniac over the last couple of days.

>>7182783

The head of the household, one Francis DeHouvre.

>>7182786
>>7182779
>>7182776

A brief pause.

<... The nobility is heavily penetrated - Any attempts to interfere with your activities in the underhive originating at this level will be compromised upon initiation. Be warned - The humans known as Grey Knights are preparing to mobilize on several underhive Chaos Cults. Be wary.>

>>7182840
This.

Hmm, autosaging you say? Well, let's get an archival link, and I'll do my best to get part six initiated tomorrow.

>>7182858
Cool guy.
Well, I think that's settled then.
Genestealers will deal with top floors, we deal with the basement, avoid the GKs, shit pops off in about 24-36 hours.

>>7182840
Would like to request this as our standard greeting to anyone/thing we're meeting for the first time.

>>7182858
Inform them that you are aware of this and are using it for your own ends. Offer the genestealers drugs (COCAAAAAAINE!) to help with their mission.

>>7182879

http://suptg.thisisnotatrueending.com/archive/7181419/

>>7182858
ask about information on the other power plants and formulate a plan to rig them all to be remotely detonated simultaneously

Patriarch seems like a cool guy. I like him.

>>7182858
Thanks for the heads-up, bro! Keep in touch, we've got some synapse nodes set up for that. We're planning to shut down the power plants when the fleet shows up in a couple days.

>>7182881
Quietly warn the cultists about the GKs half an hour to an hour before they start storming the ritual. It won't give the cultists enough time to prepare a successful defense, but it should give them enough time to prepare a defense that at least kills two or three of the GKs before all the cultists are purged.

>>7182898

Response inbound...

<You have infiltrated all four of the cults already? Impressive - Will continue to keep upper levels paralyzed with indecision until communications are rendered unusable by oncoming fleet.>

You don't think he could have been captured by the house and milked like an aphid?

>>7182934

Wait, what?

>>7182924
>GKs storming the ritual.
>successful defense,
SuitablyQuizzicalReactionFace.png

>>7182934

Might want to update the archival to contain that little tidbit.

>>7182934
Brilliant.

>>7182953
If we give the cultists too much advance warning, they might find some way to do it. Or at least to delay the GKs long enough for the summoning to complete.

We just want to make sure that they actually do more than lightly scuff the polish on the GKs' armor before they all get butchered.

>>7182934
Sounds like we've got a lot of work to do, and not much time to do it in. We should be able to shut down the power plants regardless, though...

Some wise anon has updated the archived thread.

With that, I'm out, gents. Next thread should be either tomorrow afternoon (Mountain Time) or saturday at some point.

>>7182996
See you.


The rest of us... guys, we should probably make a plan of some sort. This is a bit of a problem.

>>7182934
If we can, send a recommendation back to the fleet itself as to the idea of developing some sort of astropathic relay we can use to allow the Imperial biomass to maintain communications for as long as possible, and thus prevent the Imperial biomass from noticing our approach until the first mycetic spores start raining down from orbit.

>>7183020
What would be the point in that?

>>7183020
No, I don't think so. The Shadow of the Warp is a fundamental feature of Tyranid fleets; it's not going to get turned off.

The more problem confronting us involve how to get both the Space Marines and all the cultists killed without revealing our presence. The best I've got so far is to just bypass all the cultists, rig the power plants for detonation, and keep an ear to the ground in order to determine the level of success that the Inquisition experiences, then try to move against the winning side if necessary.
