Here, have some templates while I bump the thread.

>>7274008
is this a ripper template?
Or a flamer template?

>>7274022

It's a template template.

I know you're out there, hive nodes!

Have one brood nest produce Hormagaunts the other Gargoyles. half the rippers should scout for Biomass the other half guard the nests.

>>7274109

Confirmed.

As the Broodnests kick into action, and 150 of the rippers head to the upper levels to begin scouting, You contemplate the odd nature of the current situation on the surface. The streets are deserted. Why should this be?

Here /tg/, have more EXPLOITABLE!

>>7274154
When the first few gargoyles are birthed they are sent to scout the area from above to investigate this oddness.

>>7274225

And what are you doing during the 30 minutes that'll take?

>>7274231
Lurk.

>>7274254

Fast-forwarding 30 minutes...

What are your gargoyles armed with?

>>7274291
Claws

Wait, so only Tyranids have somewhere else to be for X-mas?

>>7274319

Apparently.

>>7274313

Just claws? No bio-plasma or ranged weapons?

>>7274319
srsly this is a young node hear feeling scared an lost! need more nodes to guide ussssss.

Attempt to sense presence of demons, since streets are empty and all we know about up here are the Khornates.

>>7274328
Well yes bio-plasma, why i said gargoyles lol
but no guns, they aren't hear for the shooting in this plan....

Also, Bio-Plasma and Flesh-Borers for the Gargoyles.

>>7274333

No warp-entities are detected. The streets are truly empty.

>>7274350
>>7274346

Awaiting consensus on gargoyle armory/battle plans.

Where are the regulars? I need to be entertained...

Claws, Bio-plasma,and flesh hooks

swoop Khornate biomass and rip the shit out of them in the sky.

Where the hell are the people? The Hive Fleet is gonna be pissed if they aren't available for consumption.

>>7274415

Biomorphs: Confirmed. What do you wish to direct them to do?

>>7274428

Only one way to find out.

Well, in any event destroying the Khorne cult should be our focus.

I'm all for blowing up the power plant while they're inside. Sneak a few rippers in and have them fuck up the turbines or something.

>>7274457
Bio-plasma + turbines = Fucked up as shit
=D

>>7274457
>>7274463

So what's your course of action?

also being a wind power plant the turbines would be most easy accessed by wing.

>>7274470
Have plasma-rippers enter the plant and destroy the cooling equipment. Wrecking the turbines will shut the plant down, but so will an explosion.

>>7274495

Do you wish to direct the Broodnests to begin manufacturing broods of plasmarippers, and if so, how many?

>>7274503
Yes. Lets get 60. 1 hour prep time, and 60 plasma rippers should be more than sufficient to blow big holes in equipment.

>>7274515
Let's go with that.

>>7274515
Bio-plasma is the biomorph of the day kids!

>>7274515
>>7274524

It'll actually take only 30 minutes to manufacture 60 Plasmarippers, but alright.

How do you wish to prepare personally during this time?

the goyles and gaunts should start picking off cultists when they can so we dont start running low on biomass.

I miss chewy.

>>7274537
We should dig a tunnel close to the wall of the plant or inside it if possible to make infiltration easier for the rippers.

After that, maybe stage a diversionary assault on the other side? Khornates will easily be drawn away by sounds of battle and will abandon their posts to join in. Then there won't be many guards to catch the sabotage-rippers.

>>7274574

We all do.

I'm working on a model of him now, actually.

>>7274581
Sounds pretty good to this node.

>>7274581
>>7274587

First you may want to locate the plant. All you know is that it's in the upper hive.

>>7274581
we got hormagaunts, the Khornate will me drawn to the melee.

>>7274596
Gargoyles away!

>>7274596
Durp, all dressed up with nowhere to go.

Ok, do any of our absorbed minds have any more specific information? Likely locations, logical locations for a power plant? If not, we may have to send out rippers to map the area and find it ourselves.

Is anyone else upset about that Patriarch bitching out? I'm pretty fucking pissed about that.

>>7274615
this node says we eat his biomass later and steal his plan to become our own hive.

The Patriarch is inconsequential to us anymore. He's done his part and now we need to finish ours. His escape will make it easier to get to the next world because there will be an already establish genestealer cult there, instead of having to start from scratch.

He may be a dick, but he's our dick, and killing him would leave the hive fleet dickless, and then we'd have to answer to the Norn Queen about why she can't find her dick.

>>7274625
I do approve of fucking up his plans, and I do wish to continue nomming along, but we've just about played our parts, and it's about to come to an end, assuming all goes as planned. It won't though.

>>7274604

Your gargoyles eagerly make their way to the first floor of the complex, and fly off into the sky, searching for the plant.

It's snowing lightly.

Create winged chameleon rippers with basic melee weaponry. Send them out, fast and hard. Scout. Observe. We need to know where everyone is.

>>7274650
snow? cool we have cover for our flying omnomnomers.

>>7274670

Replace plasmarippers with Flying scoutrippers?

>>7274683
Produce them AFTER the 60 plasma rippers. 30 minutes for 60 plasma rippers, 30 minutes for however many scout rippers.

>>7274683
we are better off with the plasma rippers the snow with the gargoyles will do just as well as flying camo rippers.

>>7274687

Confirmed: 60 Scoutrippers after the 60 plasmarippers.

Estimated time: 30 minutes, assuming you're having both Broodnests work at it.

maybe we should have our hormies start up on that tunnel?

Confirmed.

Idea: Flying chemical mines. Swarms fly to a high altitude, detonate. Their chemicals wash over large areas.

>>7274718

No hormagaunts ATM, just 2 gargoyles and 300 Breedrippers.

>>7274721
why not just make spore mines that can be dropped by the gargoyles?

>>7274650

As your gargoyles fly about, they confirm that the upper hive is deserted. Not a single soul is out on the streets. Eventually, they locate the plant, two miles to the west, at the edge of the hive.

>>7274726
Gargoyle bombing run sounds awesome. Maybe we could use a few gargs to support the diversionary force?

Produce 8 more gargs (1 hr from both pools) and load them with as many spore bombs they can carry. Death from above.

>>7274781
Hellz yeah

>>7274781

Confirmed: 1 hour of gargoyle production.

What sort of spore mines do you wish to prepare?

Make a few of our psychic rippers with Levitation, Telekinesis and Holocaust as their chosen powers, and give them Chameleonic Scales for added shits and giggles.

Then have them infiltrate themselves into crucial locations, where they can detonate themselves at the most opportune or lulzy moment.

>>7274796

A 33/33/33 split of acid, frag, and some form of drug sounds good to me.

>>7274754
Can we sense if there's any biomass present in the Upper Hive at all? And where in the hell it is?

>>7274811
100% drug let the Khornate biomass go apeshit on each other.

>>7274811

It'll take 2 minutes per spore mine, so you'll have ten of each in an hour.

As your gargoyles fly about the upper hive, seeking targets, they notice an inordinate amount of activity to the west - At the shuttleport.

>>7274828

East, not west. My bad.

>>7274828
Is it our genestealer "friends" who were going to be dealing with that battle barge?

Or are they trying to evacuate the hive?

If the latter, we have to shut that shit down.

>>7274828

Giggity. Orbital or sub-orbital transports, or can we tell?

Rippers with holocaust. This pleases me.

shuttleport? is all the biomass moving out before they nuke the sight from orbit? O_O

>>7274842

I think it's safe to say we need to shut it down regardless, but if it's an orbital transport we need to shut it down now instead of later.

Combine >>7274457 with my idea in >>7274810 and then focus our personal efforts on dealing with the hive defenses.

>>7274842

No sign of the stealers. It's civilians, and all signs indicate that the nobility are fleeing the planet.

>>7274848

The ships docked are of the sort used to transport passengers into the upper atmosphere, where spacefaring vessels would be.

>>7274834
FUCKERS ARE TRYING TO GET AWAY!

We have to keep the delicious biomass on planet or the fleet will have nothing to suck up but not-so-delicious vegetation.

Khornates aren't going anywhere. We have to shift our focus to the shuttleport immediately.

Consult our consumed minds for weakspots or critical components that we can damage. We can use our plasma rippers to damage the shuttleport machinery and our gargoyles could bomb the ships while they're still docked.

>>7274857
Better put our gargoyles to good use and Bio-plasma the shit out of it.

>>7274866

Attack, aiming to incapacitate the transports at any cost. Also, sow terror in the civilian biomass.

>>7274868
Sneak a ripper or two onto each ship. If the ship actually lifts off, the rippers go active and kill fucking everything.

Also, can we theoretically produce Holocaust spores for our mines and launchers?

>>7274870

Well, you could hypothetically have mines with enough of a brain to generate the necessary warp energy to create miniature-holocausts, but they'd take 15 minutes to produce each.

>>7273946
thanks TMG, I was looking for that pic.

>>7274895

Glad to be of service, I know I found it amusing.

>>7274894
Sorry, deleted the post because I accidentally reposted the same thing in a later more involved post.

Hmm, how much damage would those do if we were to make them?

Ooooh time to put the flesh hooks on the gargoyles to good use and dive bomb the biomass, should look bitching scary when they fly of with the little snacks!

>>7274891
Why not sow Obscura in the civilian biomass instead and watch the attempted escape turn into a combination of Reefer Madness and every anti-drunk driving commercial ever?

>>7274909

Ten seconds of sustained Holocaust within a ten-foot radius of the mines before they fry themselves.

How much damage can our Holocaust do?

Alright. Let's take what we've got and move quickly. Any cloaked units move in first carrying mines. Target shuttles. Clarification: target power cables, converters, capacitors. Stop their ability to function. Detonate the chemical mines in the air above groups of people. Incite them to riot with that anger drug.

>>7274925

Because it's possible the entities in control of the transports would be unaffected. First priority is to stop the transports from leaving by any means, up to and including clogging the engine intakes with dead Gargoyles.

FOD is a bitch.

>>7274928
Is Holocaust effective against Warp entities, and can we modify to boost the localized power in exchange for loss of distance and shorter time active?

>>7274947
Then we get ourselves close enough to the ships to send telepathic commands to the pilots/engineers to do an emergency shutdown of the engines.

Hopefully that'll take enough time to repair that we'll have arrived and started feasting before they can get the ships running again.

Have gargoyles bio-plasma the cockpits of the ships, if there pilots cant breath they cant fly.

>>7274950

Yes and yes.

Five seconds at a five-foot radius would quadruple the power of the attack.

>>7274947

>FOD
>Foreign Object Debris

Every Wind Tunnel class, we had to do a FOD check. One guy said, that's a stupid name. He rechristened it "Shit In Tunnel" - SIT - and we had to do a Shit Check before each lab.

The name caught on.

>>7274986
Okay, we're going to want at least three or four of those power-boosted mines on hand in case we have another daemonhost or daemonic incursion to deal with.

I'd like to get input from my fellow nodes as to what priority they should have in our build queue, though.

>>7275009

And here I thought it was Foreign Object Damage. [img-TMYK]

You currently have 2 gargoyles near the Shuttleport, awaiting orders.

It'll take you an hour to prepare 8 more gargoyles and 6 holocaust-mines.

>>7275015
flying broods, we want to be able to take the ship out fast even if it gets a chance to take off.

>>7275015
Addendum to above: I'd also like to consult with fellow hive nodes as to variations on this that have different duration and blast radius in exchange for altered power.

The other one I can think of at the moment is a one-second duration Holocaust mine with a five-foot radius, to try and pump as much hurt into a daemon as possible before the daemon can respond.

I also propose we name this entire category of weapon Chewymines, for obvious reasons.

>>7275047

Estimated chances of disabling the shuttle with a suicide attack by the two gargoyles near the shuttleport?

>>7275047

How long do we think we have before the ships take off?

>>7275065

It'll take two gargoyles clogging the engines to disable a single shuttle, and there are five shuttles.

>>7275070

Estimated time until launch of the first shuttle: 45 minutes.

Do we have any idea how close the ship is getting to takeoff?

If it's close, then we should just ram the fully loaded gargs into the engines and cripple the ships. If we have time, we could attack and harvest the nobles' biomass to help in the attack on the wind plant.

>>7275084

Well dicks to my plan, then.

>>7275084
how much chance is there that they could melt the cockpits on each shuttle with bio-plasma/ chance they could take down more ships then just clogging up the engines?

Are there any fueling rigs nearby? Large fuel lines or containers or anything?

>>7275084
Okay, pump out a Holocaust mine and a gargoyle to carry it and have the Gargoyle suicide-bomb the first shuttle's engines.

Are the shuttles all likely to be launching shortly after the first one, or are they going to be staggered?

And would telepathically commanding the shuttle crews to do something irreparable in the time they have left to the engines work?

>>7275115
this has promise.

>>7275105

Hm. Let's spread it out a bit. Bioplasma at all known weak points, instead of just the cockpits?

>>7275115

This is also an equally-valid option.

>>7275115
Well, in that case, holocaust mine and gargoyle and then the gargoyle suicide bombs the promethium tanks.

>>7275118

Staggered at one-hour intervals.

>>7275115

There are fuel lines running from the main docking facility, as well as several large cargo containers, some of which are being prepared for loading onto the shuttles.

>>7275152
Would they be able to speed that up if we blow the first shuttle to pieces, or are they stuck on that schedule?

>>7275152

Hit the fuel lines with bioplasma in an attempt to cause fires/explosions, then throw more bioplasma into the intakes/exhausts of the shuttles. Dead biomass is still biomass, after all.

>>7275166

They'd be able to hurry the shuttles up to 45-minute intervals.

>>7275171

With your two current Gargoyles? Confirm?

>>7275171
But now with that extra hint of smokiness from the promethium, and if we're careful we can even give it just the right amount of charred crispiness on the outside to contrast with the tender juiciness within!

>>7275189
Make it so!

>>7275189
Assuming that we stagger our production to one well-armored and camouflaged Gargoyle, one Holocaust mine for it to carry, back to a Gargoyle and so on until we have enough to slag every shuttle's engines, would we be able to produce these and get them to the spaceport faster than the shuttles can take off?

>>7275192

Confirmed.

Your Gargoyles descend from the sky like bullets, screeching at the masses of humanity below, and begin to pepper the fuel lines with blast of bioplasma. A chain of explosions begin to take shape, heading towards the main shuttleport.

Someone is contacting your gargoyles telepathically, trying to contact you. Confirm/Deny access?

Confirm for 1. The other remains blocked off.

>>7275212

This. If it's the patriarch, laugh.

>>7275220
If it's the patriarch, start pumping the DOOMLICTOR theme music into his head.

>>7275245

We have theme music?

>>7275212
>>7275220

Granting Access.

Message incoming...

It's the Patriarch.

<What are you doing?! These ships are our only way off-world! I will NOT allow my brood to be digested by the Hive Fleet, to create more of your ilk! We are superior to you, and we will survive the absorbtion of this world!>

<wrong>

- end communication -

>>7275253
queen - we are the champions?

>>7275257

No reply, fuck him. Can we track him somehow through that telepathic whatchacallit we've got?

>>7275279

I was thinking Queen - Don't Stop Me Now, personally.

>>7275257
<you are superior in one way patriarch>
<you are superior at dying>
<rest assured, your biomass will survive the consumption of this world>
<as a part of Mother Hive>
<for it ALL belongs to Mother Hive!>
<we are DOOMLICTOR>
<we do COCAINE>

>>7275253
I figure that it's the DOOMRIDER theme music, except with less Chaos and more Omnomnomnom

>>7275281

He's in one of the transport containers awaiting loading onto the ships.

>>7275289
Why not Billy Joel - "We Didn't Start the Fire"?

Our only true theme song.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JeJmpkdXi2A

>>7275295

This is our secondary target after the shuttles are rendered unusable, then. He's served his purpose in drawing the hive fleet, and now that dickbag is going to be eaten.

What about the battlebarge, wasn't that his job?

>>7275327

That was his plan for getting himself and his brood offworld, actually.

>>7275327

Hm. Genuine question: Can one battlebarge stand up to the hive fleet?

What are we going to do about that barge if we take out the Patriarch then?

>>7275332
Offer him a voucher for an all-expenses-paid trip to a particularly nice digestion pit as compensation.

>>7275337

No, but it can easily devastate large portions of the planet, rendering its biomass unusable - And probably obliterating you, and the valuable Grey Knight genetic codes you carry along with the rest of the hive.

>>7275342
Find our own way there, of course!

All we need to do is figure out how to make our carapace vacuum-resistant, or alternatively how to teleport, and we're set.

By the by, did the data packet Chewy sent us just before he died also have any information on the non-Necron (and thus impossible to absorb) bits of tech he nommed?

Incidentally, my take on DOOMLICTOR's theme song:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7PhCtwpXmb8

Does the battlebarge know that we ate the Inquisitor, and do we have access to whatever codes the Inquisitor would have used to request an emergency teleport offworld?

>>7275364

All of Chewy's tech-knowledge came along with the packet he sent.

Doesn't necessarily mean you know how to use the information, though.

>>7275377

No, although they're getting worried, and yes, you have the codes, if you only had a way to transmit them.

>>7275368
>>7275368
More like: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rNQRfBAzSzo&NR=1

>>7275351

Hm. Message for the patriarch.

<Proposal: Continue drawing the hive fleet to rich worlds and you will continue to exist separate from the Hive Mind.>

Give him the Inquisitor's codes as well.

>>7275405

Requesting Additional Nodes' confirmation.

>>7275383
We did eat that tech-priest, so we should have at least a rudimentary grasp of the tech-knowledge.

>>7275388
Is there anything in either Chewy's knowledge or our own that would let us put together a makeshift transmitter for those purposes?

>>7275405
>>7275415

DENIED.

Chewy was far more worthy of such an honor than this scum will ever be.

>>7275417

You don't have the necessary data to construct a makeshift transmitter, but it's quite likely that the Shuttleport has transmitters.

>>7275428

Chewy... Ah, I won't spoil it.

>>7275405
imma confirm on his decision, the nodes should think ahead for the hive mind, if the patriarch will allow us to get more biomass than he himself is worth, why not let him go for a future consumption, just make sure the message also implies that he owes the hive his life eventually.

>>7275433
How soon before we can get to the shuttleport?

Orders:

Fuck. Shit. Up.

>>7275446

Assuming concealment protocols are ignored: 20 minutes, tops.

>>7275442
WHY WOULD YOU EVEN POST THIS?!?

It's cruel.

>>7275428

Genestealer cults exist to draw the hive to worlds worth consuming. An Inquisitor's code would get the patriarch and his brood off the planet with few, if any questions asked. As much of a dickbag as this particular patriarch is, so long as he continues to draw the hive towards rich worlds he is worth keeping alive.

>>7275445
Problem: a normal Patriarch would already have been using this as his reason for continued independent existence after the consumption of this world.

This Patriarch is aberrant, and has already stated outright his defiance of Mother Hive. This CANNOT be tolerated, for any reason.

>>7275457

Let me say this: Chances are slim to nonexistant that you'll see Chewy again within the confines of Lictor Quest.

That said, Chewy Quest is likely to appear a day or two after the final installment of Lictor Quest.

>>7275470

You and I are deadlocked, then. Would any other nodes care to comment?

>>7275486

You motherfucking goblin, you.

>>7275493

I do my best, sir Node.

>>7275458, see >>7275470

I don't think we can trust this Patriarch even that far.

On the other hand...

TMG, we got quite a bit of data on Chewy in that packet he sent. Would that be enough to rebuild his personality template and then destroy the Patriarch's personality so that we can replace it with Chewy? Make sure that Chewy2 knows that we and Mother Hive were both very proud of him, though. Because it's true.

>>7275486
I fucking hope that's some kind of adventure through the warp and shit. Oh god I love chewy.

>>7275470
you say this as if you are afraid of the patriarch's independence, he may be defiant, but he can be put down anytime that the hive ourselves deem it necessary, he is of more value to let go than to consume now

>>7275501

You could do that... Assuming you can mentally overpower him and his brood of unknown size's mental defences.

Chewy adventuring in some demon dimension. FANTASTIC!

I vote that Doomlictor commences with suicide so as to speed up the arrival of Chewy Quest!

Does the Hivemind want to see the Chewy model I'm working on atm? It's a ways from completion, and I'm no master painter, but on the other hand, I did give him a cool base.

LETS SEE IT!

>>7275526

Chewy wanted you to succeed with the absorbtion of this world. You wouldn't tarnish his memory by deliberately self-terminating, would you?

>>7275536

Hell no. Also seconding request to see Chewy-model.

>>7275527
This node does.

>>7275548
>>7275556

Shitty pic incoming in a few minutes.

While you wait, what do you wish to do?

>>7275513
More insulted, really. It would be an annoyance to Mother Hive, and if we can prevent an annoyance to Mother we may as well do it now.

>>7275514
Can we find out the extent of his brood while we're chatting with him?

Although I think to save on some time we may as well let him get toasted and give one of our Gargoyles instructions on how to transmit our coordinates to the Battle Barge for emergency teleport. Assuming that such is possible; otherwise, we'll do it ourself when we get to the spaceport.

tell me of this "chewy"...

>>7275563

Rip and tear everything but the patriarch, his brood, and his transport to the battle barge. The biomass we would get from reclaiming him is vastly outweighed by what he will lead the fleet to in the future, regardless of his rejection of the Great Devourer.

Sorry Hive Nodes, my cameraphone's the best I can do.

He's popping out of a grate, and there's a couple necron Gauss-rods sporuting from the floor around him. I'm thinking of adding a couple to his back, missile-launcher style or somesuch.

SO! Orders?

I think we need to let him take care of the barge. We are very close to readying this planet. Let's not mess it up gents.

>>7275573

There are 16 Purestrain Ymgarl Genestealers in the crate with him.

>>7275582
If we do this, then we also feed him our useful data to ensure it gets offworld.

But only if we have some way of making it erase his personality and replace it with Chewy's when he accesses it.

EAT THEM.

>>7275593

Hm. A psi-trojan. I like your style. Is this possible, TMG?

>>7275593

Easiest way to replace his mind with Chewy's: Engage him in hand-to-hand combat, away from his brood, and infect him with a retrovirus that'll rewrite his mental wiring with Chewy's last updated mind.

>>7275593
previous anonymous node that was agreeing with the letting go order here, if this could be managed, then HELL YESSSSS, oh and >>7275583
i see green stuff don't I

>>7275585
We are, but aside from the in-character considerations I'd really like to have the chance to see the OH SHIT reactions on the battle barge when they port us in, just before we cap the ultimate OH YEAH Maneuver by devouring the entire crew.

More fun for the players, in and out of character.

>>7275609

Only at the base of his tail, where it intersects with the grate - Unless you're referring to his body, which is in fact green.

>>7275608
In that case...

Tell him we have a better way to get him and a few of his 'stealers to orbit.

We'll use the codes to port us, the Patriarch and two or three 'stealers up (however many stealers puts our group at the same size as the Inquisitorial party was before we ate it). Once we take the Battle Barge, he can bring his brood up without fear of being shot down if the Barge gets suspicious about why a civilian shuttle is heading for it.

And while his stealers are Space Hulk-ing out, we do the "single combat, overwrite mind" thing.

>>7275634

That'll allow two Genestealers to accompany you.

What do you wish to communicate to him?

>>7275634

This may actually work, though there is an obvious risk of injury or death. Not objecting, but not endorsing either. I'm interested in seeing how this plays out.

>>7275646
We could/should make some kind of backup to our DNA, in case we perish in this venture.

>>7275646
Seed backups of the vital stuff we've acquired (Grey Knights data, tech-data, etc.) into the nest and a random selection of our spawn. That way, even if we die, the Hive Fleet should still be able to collect our information.

Consensus of Other Nodes on Nightmare Mode OH YEAH Plan?

>>7275671

You've won me over. Fucking confirmed.

>>7275671
>>7275665

Confirmed: Data-packets issued to Broodnests and Breedrippers containing all useful information garnered.

>>7275683
Believe that we also have at least a Lesser Consensus on >>7275634 as well.

Query: What message does the Hive wish to convey to the Broodlord, in an effort to convince him to work with you?

>>7275712

Well...

Fuck if I know, really. I mean, I'm sure there's something, but dialogue isn't really my forte.

Anyone else have any suggestions?

FUck that ffucker. eat himf

Suggestion: Simple and direct.

<We have what are believed to be teleportation authorization codes for the ship in orbit. We wish to assist you in taking said ship.>

Wait for a response.

>>7275761

Response incoming...

<How many Brood-brothers will be able to accompany us?>

Aaaaaand I need to grab a bite.

Back in a bit, fellow Nodes.

>>7275766

<Assuming this lictor and yourself, two. This should be more than sufficient to assume control over the vessel and ensure the rest of your brood safe passage aboard.>

>>7275787
Fellow node, what would be your suggestion for how to execute Stage Two of our plan, the "replace Patriarch's mind with Chewy-template" bit?

>>7275946

Step 1: Let regular genestealers and patriarch assist with neutralizing resistance.
Step 2: When a chance presents itself, jump the fuck out of the patriarch and infect him.
Step 3: ???
Step 4: Profit!

>>7275787

<And how do you suggest we make our way from our current hidden location on the runway to the Shuttleport?>

>>7275975
Depending on how the retrovirus is transmitted, couldn't you have a ripper act as a vector and ambush/infect the patriarch when he is distracted?
The ripper would be small enough to hide away somewhere until needed, or it could hide in plain site as part of a larger group of rippers.

>>7275975
Sounds good to me.

Although we obviously have to do this before he has the chance to 'port any more of his brood to the barge.

>>7276031

I'm going to let some other node reply to this.

>>7276031
<the shuttlefields are in the process of becoming a roaring inferno>
<civilian biomass will be distracted>
<RIPNTEAR should more than suffice>

TMG, do we have our 'goyles with Holocaust mines going to make sure the shuttles stay down?

>>7276069

They've just been produced at the Broodnests: It'll take them about 5 minutes to get over there.

<Confirmed. Commencing travel... Now.>

>>7276087

If the two gargoyles we initiated our assault with are still alive, have them cover the patriarch and his ilk as best they can.

>>7276101

Confirmed. Are you going to get your ass en route? The two gargoyles you just spawned can probably fly you over.

>>7276110
yeah, have them fly cover. We should arrive with the gargoyles, but stay on the side-lines during the assault on the spaceport to ensure that we don't get harmed in the chaos.

>>7276110

What, we haven't evolved an ass-rocket yet?

Kidding. Of course we should go.

>>7276126
>>7276131

En route. Estimated arrival time... 10 minutes.

What do you do in the interim?

>>7276144

Do we have time to replace the toxin in our toxin sacs with the Chewy-Rewrite retrovirus?

>>7276144
Hmm. Get our Obscura miasma ready.

Recolor ourselves red for our big entrance onto the Battle Barge.

Also, review the Inquistor and the acolyte's memories of the Battle Barge and its contents. Deck plan, crew complement, access codes for internal systems, the works.

>>7276158
Oh yeah, and this too. Good catch, 3015.

>>7276087
Oh, and to add to my previous posts: get the first 'goyle and its Holocaust mine over and have it hit that first shuttle's engine. If the first shuttle is trashed, then the next shuttle to launch. We want to automate this particular process while we're taking down the barge.

>>7276158
I would rather have a dedicated ripper do that, as per >>7276036. Less chance of sustaining injury to Doomlictor.
>>7276144
Have the gargoyles already there provide a close air support of sorts for the patriarch if needed. Otherwise, I would suggest having them target any un-destroyed fuel. If all fuel has been destroyed, sow more chaos by harassing biomass and/or attempt to target weakpoints on the shuttles.

>>7276158

Confirmed.

>>7276171

Confirmed: The main deck, where the teleporter will deposit you, has several servitors, but only two-three sentient crewmembers aboard it at any given time.

>>7276190

Good catch yourself, sir.

>>7276203
Let's prioritize using the Inquisitor's override codes to take control of the barge before they realize that we nommed the Inquisitor and change them.

As you approach, a claw clasped around each gargoyle, the pair already there continue to wreak havoc after escorting the Patriarch and his escort to the Shuttleport. As you arrive, they've finished with all the flammable fuel and are working on terrorizing the nobles.

>>7276259

RIPNTEAR our way to the patriarch. Keep the drug miasma switched off for the moment.

>>7276294
If it won't tire us unduly, could we telekinese enough nobles into the shuttle engines to render them unusable?

>>7276319

Oh my. Oh my, yes. By all means, we should do this if it's possible.

>>7276294

Your gargoyles drop you over the Shuttleport, and you crash through the glass roof, landing ready for combat in the main area. You turn, searching for the Patriarch, and are greeted by... Quite a sight.

The patriarch is enormous, almost your size, with a cranium studded by spikes and a maw full of tentacles. His chitin is extensive, his musculature impressive, and his scything talons razor-sharp. His two escorts look similarly intimidating, each easily the size of a Space Marine.

This is obviously a well-established cult.

>>7276342
This is all i saw when i read that description

>>7276352

OH GOD

THE PATRIARCH IS A GRIMDARK DR. ZOIDBERG

IT ALL MAKES SENSE NOW

>>7276342

Remain calm. Begin synthesizing Chewy-Rewrite rippers, but do not attack. Can we get an estimate of his psychic abilities?

<Most impressive.>

>>7276377
Idly amuse ourselves by doing >>7276319 as we greet the Patriarch.

>>7276377

Psychic abilities: Unknown, but weaker the less Genestealers he has to draw upon.

His tentacles writhe lightly, as he responds.

<So, you're the current cutting-edge of the Hive Fleets' infiltration arsenal? How times change.>

He gestures towards the nearest terminal with transmitter capabilities.

<Shall we?>

>>7276409
<just one thing to do first>

Stuff a shuttle's engine full of screaming Imperial nobility.

<alright, i'm good. let's get going>

>>7276409

So separating him from his brood will help. Keep this in mind.

<Your kind have their place in the order of things, we have ours. Your brood is worthy of continuing to guide us further, so we are willing to assist you in spreading to another world.>

And yes, mentally fling some nobles into an intake fan of some kind. Because hey, it's fun and it's not like we're not going to eat them anyway.

>>7276476
Well, that's part of the reason for our plan here. He's only going to be in contact with two of his brood on the barge at most, which will weaken him quite a bit.

Also, >>7276459 was me; I took my name off for another thread and forgot to put it back on.

>>7276459
>>7276476

Confirmed: Nobles being flung into the engines of shuttles.

As the four of you approach the terminal, you hear a crash down on of the port's tunnels, and a bloodcurdling warcry.

>>7276502
Does this warcry sound anything like BLOOD FOR THE BLOOD GOD, perchance?

>>7276524

It does indeed.

>>7276502

In the words of Picard, "Shields up, red alert."

Scan in that direction with every sense we've got. What the blue cockfuck made that sound?

>>7276528

Has shit become real?

>>7276524
Let's change that into BROOD FOR THE BROOD GOD by absorbing their biomass.

Quick assessment: How many of our assets are ready to engage the Khornate biomass?

>>7276533

Approximately fifteen drugged-up nobles wielding chainaxes and chainswords, rapidly coming your way.

>>7276528
Well, they're going to be stuck on this planet and eaten just like everybody else.

<(Whatever the Inquisitor's name was) to battle barge>
<four to beam up>

Make sure our suicide 'goyles have their orders to keep any shuttles from launching before we go.

>>7276557

The Broodlord and his two Genestealers are ready at any time to engage.

>>7276578
Fuck that, we're going to the stars.
Beam us up, Scotty!

>>7276570

Awaiting Response...

<Confirmed. We were getting worried, ma'am.>

You can feel a tingling, as your form is deatomized, in preparation for being beamed up.

>>7276564

Ass. Why didn't we evolve a ranged biomorph? We should evolve a ranged biomorph after this. We're going to evolve a ranged biomorph after this.

Hit the adrenal glands, and fire off every ranged attack we've got at them. Bio plasma, mind blast, telekinetic shoving, everything. Hell, even try and drag one of the less-well-armed nobles in with flesh hooks for HEADNOM.

>>7276605

Disregard. Time delay.

Engage RIP-N-TEAR on the nearest non-tyranid the moment we're reassembled.

>>7276600
Seems to be a good break point. Next thread?
