    alright but lets kick it up a notch
    when they sting you they inject you with nanowasps that eat your flesh from the inside out but they make sure to do it painlessly. then after they have grown they fly out of your body and sting the fuck out of anyone nearby. only way people can stay away from you before you become a fucking bug bomb is if they hear a buzzing in your voice in the early stages or if they can see that your skin is moving in the late.

    Mutillidae are a family of more than 3,000 species of wasp whose wingless females resemble ants. Their common name velvet ant refers to their dense pile of hair which most often is bright scarlet or orange but may also be black, white, silver, or gold. Their bright colours serve as aposematic signals. They are known for their extremely painful sting, facetiously said to be strong enough to kill a cow.

    Ichneumon wasps have a polydnavirus encoded in their genome as a symbiote, so when the wasp stings its caterpillar host and lays her eggs within, the virus will get to work and disable the immune system of the caterpillar, ensuring that the wasp eggs can develop in peace.

    They command designer viruses.

    In addition, Ichneumon mandibles and stingers are tipped with layers of metals, making their tips able to drill straight through wood. Or armor.

    Ichneumon species are slowly becoming cyborg wasps, having long ago surpassed the capabilities of simple organic meat and flesh and moved on to the purity and perfection of alloyed weapons and germ warfare.

    Ichneumon wasps are parasitoid; they lay their eggs in live larvae of other species. To reach these species, they can bore through solid wood with their metal stingers, and as larvae they chew their way through both host organism and chew their way straight out with their metal mandibles. For these reason, and for their pure, vicious perfection at their niche, it was the Ichneumon wasps that finally utterly convinced Charles Darwin that there is not, could not be, a loving God. Not even an all-powerful all-loving God; even a somewhat influential nice guy God is not compatible with a universe containing Ichneumon wasps, for he would resist the emergence of such an abomination with all of his divine power.

    Though Arachnophobia runs rampant throughout the human race, n spider in the entire history of the Earth has ever inspired that level of pure existential dread, that crisis and loss of faith.

    Ichneumonoidea range in size from less than a centimeter to 6 inches in length. They are as long as a flying human penis.

    Imagine it. A flying metal penis drilling straight through solid wood in order to fill you with demon-seed.

    And remember.

    You are alive when they eat you.

    I haven't been stung myself, but a friend of mine who lives in the NT has. It's just as bad as it sounds, if not worse.

    >The severity of the pain from an Irukandji jellyfish sting is apparent in the 2005 Discovery Channel documentary Killer Jellyfish[20] about Carukia barnesi, when two Australian researchers (Jamie Seymour and Teresa Carrette) are stung. Even under the "maximum dose of morphine," Teresa remarked that she "wished she could rip her skin off," and is later seen writhing uncontrollably from the pain while lying on her hospital bed. In one scene, Teresa's feet are shown contorting and digging into the bed, and she is wiggling her toes and kicking her feet around. When the camera moves back, Teresa is seen rubbing her face, her body is contorting in agony, and her legs are rapidly sliding and kicking around on the bed. Jamie, at his worst, is also seen writhing in pain, curled up in a ball and barely able to speak. Jamie said he wished that he was stung by Chironex fleckeri instead since "the pain goes away in 20 minutes or you die."

    >On the television program Super Animal, a woman compared her pain from childbirth to her experience with Irukandji syndrome: "It's like when you're in labor, having a baby, and you've reached the peak of a contraction—that absolute peak—and you feel like you just can't do it anymore. That's the minimum that [Irukandji] pain is at, and it just builds from there."

Heck, it might've been kind of hot, since you all have ridiculously phallic heads and are a living walking allegory of violent sex/rape. But when the violent interracial bug sex leads to people's chests exploding open due to being raped from the inside out by a giant toothed penis worm, and their subsequent dying, I just have to draw a line, that's not contingent with the three S's of Safe, Sane and conSensual.

    It's interesting that the Alien's face is clearly a penis and the Predator's face is clearly a vagina, and yet it is the Predator that is a tool-using, technologically savvy hunter with a meaty masculine body, whereas the Xenomorphs are eusocial queen-oriented hive creatures with slender feminine bodies and a "culture," if you can call it that, revolving around pregnancy.

    It's as if the movies are saying "vaginas are manly, penises are feminine."

    Sheep and cows are both surprisingly deadly if you piss them off. People die every year because they pissed off a bull or ram, got caught under a stampede, or got that little bit too close to a group of calves/lambs. Not sure how many, but yeah, you don't fuck with livestock if you know what's good for you, which is why cow-tipping is typically done in the dead of night and stone drunk.

    I used to catch velvet ants in summer camp, A friend of mine for his experiment in summer camp managed to scoop up an entire anthill and throw it into an aquarium with a shovel and frantic scooping.

    I caught a velvet ant in an empty gatorade bottle by slamming the open lid on it and scooping it up.

    They chirp by the way, weirdest thing.

    So my friend gets the idea to pit a velvet ant against his anthill after his project was over. Seemed like a cool idea.

    We threw the velvet ant into the anthill in the glass aquarium and all hell broke loose in that tiny enclosed space.

    The damn velvet ant ran around in circles covered in fire ants desperately trying to sting and bite it to death for about half a goddamn hour. The whole while it was ripping the other ants in two like you would not believe.

    Its armor was far too thick for the fire ants to handle, it was faster and stronger as well by virtue of its size and my god did that stinger look intimidating.

    After the half hour of slaughter was over, the velvet and finally died twitching with about a hundred dead fire ants either ripped to pieces or clipped in half twitching on the ground around it.

    The whole time we were watching I couldn't help but wonder what the fire ants might be thinking as this Goliath among them tore through their numbers. I had another one in reserve, but I didn't have the heart to give them a round two, I don't think the ant colony would have survived.

    I remember something from my childhood, /tg/. I want to share it with you.

    We lived in a part of Idaho infested with wasps. Big, dangerous yellowjackets.

    One year, we had some live in a tree in front of my house. I accidentally pissed them off, and ran for it.

    It stung me several times. My stepfather was on the porch.

    My stepfather saw them coming for me. He stepped in front, and they went for him.

    I'll never forget for the rest of my life what happened.

    He stood there, and he punched the wasps. Bap! I've never seen someone's hands move so fast. He punched, and slapped, and knocked them out of the air one after the other. This wasn't uncontrolled flailing - he was carefully punching a swarm of wasps to death.

    I saw some fall, and then get back up and go for him again. Again, he'd punch them. This happened over and over again until they were all still. Then, we went and stepped on them.

    I knew my stepfather had studied martial arts when he was young, and new a lot of them. But that was the first time I saw them. When it was done, he did not have a single sting.

    That is the story of how my stepfather punched a swarm of wasps to death with his bare hands, and saved me.

    I love my stepfather. He is awesome.

    So do cockroaches. They're not so bad.

    Though I do actually have a story for you guys. Now, this is kind of a "my brother's cousin's friend said..." kind of thing, but bear with me. (My dad told me this one, and an Air Force buddy of his told it to him.)

    Now, any milfags here can probably tell you a thing or two about Officer Training School. You stay there for 90 days, and any student that's been there longer than you is your superior. This being the military, hazing is common.

    One certain Officer Training School happens to be in Texas. Now, the food at OTS isn't the best. It's cafeteria food. And among the meals you can have there is barbecued beef. Now, the barbecue sauce happens to have sugar in it. Roaches like sugar, so they climb onto the underside of the screen separating the hungry students from the kitchen workers. Of course, this gets rather hot. This results in the roaches passing out and falling into the sauce.

    Now, I mentioned hazing. Sometimes, a bored senior student will go up to one of the freshmen and ask him what he had for lunch. If the younger student responds with barbecued beef, the senior will ask if it... crunched. Oftentimes, the freshman will respond in the affirmative. The next question of course, is /should/ barbecued beef crunch? At this point the senior simply walks off, singing "La cucaracha, la cucaracha..."

    Fact: Dogs breed extremely quickly, bouncing back easily from any and all depopulation attempt.
    Fact: Dogs have no fear of humans, period.
    Fact: Dogs can run faster and probably farther than you. Some can jump fences in a single bound.
    Fact: Dogs can, will, and do eat humans when convenient.
    Fact: Feral dogs enjoy a rabies pandemic. If a feral dog bites you, better than even odds it had rabies and will not stop until you kill it, and then you better get your ass to the doctor quick.
    Fact: Dogs hunt in packs, which means if they don't like you, you are out-fucking-numbered and they will be attacking you from the sides and behind.
    Fact: They can literally smell your fear.

    Stonefish are the deadliest type of fish in the world, and have one of the most potent neurotoxins in the animal kingdom. I think only the platypus might be worse in effect.

    >However, it produces excruciating pain which may be intense enough to incapacitate the victim. Swelling rapidly develops around the entry wound and gradually spreads outwards. Information obtained from case studies shows that the pain develops into a long-lasting hyperalgesia that can persist for months but usually lasts from a few days to a few weeks.[3][8] A clinical report from 1992 showed that the severe pain was persistent and did not respond to morphine.

    It's not lethal, but is so bad that morphine doesn't work. As in, at all. And it goes on for weeks while you're paralysed. In some cases, you have to actually sever the nerve endings to stop the pain, and it can randomly start hurting again years afterward.

    Correction, plenty of environments scare people away.

    But there is always a human somewhere that will look at the most dangerous spot to live and say "I could make this work"

    We're omnivores, we survive because we can eat a rather broad selection of food. We have no niche because our ability is acquiring new abilities. Humans are the ultimate generalist species on earth, and that is why we will probably outlast any other species on earth. We will either compete them into extinction or just outlast them by virtue of our ability to adapt. Our tech has just given us a massive leg up.

    I didn't know there was a trick to it. I've never replicated that trick, and don't want to get the opportunity to try. Still, it became an inspiration to me. Since then, I've grown up and traveled all around the world, and seen a lot of deadly creatures. I don't make a habit of killing them (except spiders), but none of it scares me now. I've seen and killed rattlesnakes, camel spiders, persian fat-tail scorpions, and a lot of others. I've run into bears and managed to leave without either side dying. I go mountain climbing and occasionally see cougars.

    And honestly? I regret not one bit of it.

    The only thing that freaks me out are things like botflies and parasites. Anything else in this world, thanks to his example, I'm no longer afraid of. In the end, they'll all die to a shoe or bullet.

    In America, there is a place called "Yellowstone National Park."

    Some of the open pools are merely quite warm and pleasant. So some rangers or locals in the know will occasionally go to such pools in the middle of the night.

    This is a story that I learned about why volunteers and rangers and everyone else should never ever do that.

    One day, a group of young stupid people went to spend a night with some beer and some hot springs.

    One of their number went off to piss.

    He thought he returned to their selected, human-tolerable hot spring.

    He was off by exactly eight feet. He didn't see his comrades in the darkness, but he heard them.

    He immediately pulled himself out of this other hot spring, but the damage had been done; you see, the mineral concentration in the water raises the liquid's boiling point, and his particular pool had quite the concentration. The liquid there was many, many degrees above the boiling point of water.

    As his friends turned on the light, he had time only to say "I feel--" and then his legs gave out. Not like buckling at the knee.

    The protein structures in his lower legs had denatured. His ligaments and actin filaments and intercellular structures more or less melted.

    He survived to tell the story and had taken a number of gruesome photographs of what it looks like when your limbs literally melt off.

    You should volunteer at Yellowstone. They're pretty sure the volcano there is way way overdue for it's next big one, which they think should be powerful enough to do a pretty decent number on global technological civilization.

    Poison air? be careful around volcanic regions carbon dioxide and sulfur can be release in high enough concentrations to kill. Also there are certain lakes that have large amounts of carbon dioxide that builds up in them, and is then released all at once suffocating everyone in a fairly sizable area miles away from the lake. Though I don't know of any of those outside of africa.

    Yellowstone again.

    See, the mineral springs make subterrenean caves, and these caves are frequently filled with boiling hot mineral spring waters. So if you step in the wrong place, the ground you step on might give out and drop you into a cave full of burning boiling pain.

    But sometimes the surface rock giving way just drops you into a place where the mineral springs once caved the place out, but cooled down or drained the liquid to somewhere else, but the air in the cave has never been connected to any surface air.

    So it's full of sulfur dioxide.

    You might think that having fallen into the cave would mean that the sulfur dioxide would rush out of the hole and into the atmosphere until the sulfur dioxide and normal air were at equal concentrations on both sides of the hole but, you see, it's heavier than air. So it moves slowly and is very reluctant to move up and out of the cave.

    So it just burns your lungs and kills you to death instead.

    The catachan death worlder codex back in 3rd ed actually gave you a bestiary.

    Does anyone have a scan of that?

    One of the things in it was a "spiner" which was a plant-like thing about 6 feet tall that was covered in fuck-huge needles. If you got stung by these needles, you'd get poisoned and feel pretty lethargic. Well shit that doesn't so bad right?

    Then you start getting fuzzy all over your skin and eventually just collapse, at which point the spikes tart to grow all over your body, feeding upon your delicious nutrition.

    The best part is that it can do this to shit like Catachan Devils or the Scorpions the size of Lemun Russes.

    Oh further note, at least one of these lakes also has high levels of methane, higher than the carbon dioxide, and that lake is over a volcano, a volcano no one knew about until recently. One thing people are doing right now is trying to pump out the methane so that when the volcano erupts the lake doesn't release it and then ignite. The amount of methane is roughly enough to cause damage more similar to a nuclear blast.

    Don't step off of the marked paths at Yellowstone. And when there are wooden platforms for visitors, for the love of God don't step off of the wood platforms. Keep your eyes on your children at all times and do not let your children step off of the wood platforms. Do not feed the bears. The wolves are not your friends. Do not litter as the smell of human on your trash will draw the bears and wolves. Do not play with matches anywhere, not just in the forest, as various sulfides which are virtually omnipresent can sometimes be incendiary. Do not touch the water. Do not go off the marked paths. Do not go off the marked paths. Do NOT go off the marked paths. And finally, for the love of all that is holy, do not go off the marked paths.

    Have fun at Yellowstone National Park, one of nature's most beautiful locations.

    That's pretty much it, everything on Catachan was normal shit on earth bumped up to 11. You have the venus mantrap which is 15 times bigger than a man and can actually move its leaves to go grab things. If it does grab you, it'll slowly digest you as it drags you through its toothy insides. Since everything needs fucking spikes.

    And then you have the Grox, which are basically beasts of burden that is the size of a person and the females are really fucking ill-tempered. Catachans also use them as food animals.

    Then you have Brain Leaf, which is a quasi-intelligent plant that can launch "leaves" (which I assume is a british term for something, since the picture shows a very-not leaf looking feeler) into its prey, and then has tendrils that reach into the victim's spine or central nervous system to control their actions.

    Presumably they do this for much the same reason the actual parasite does.

    Oh and Catachan Devils are pretty fucking big, being about 20-40 "paces" in length. Catachans tend to kill these things and take their teeth to turn into knives as a rite of passage.

    Oh and when I say could form one, I mean like in 5 years without anyone knowing, because yellowstone is like that. Because of the volcanic activity the land is shifting rapidly, which could cause the development of a deep lake over a lava pipe. The other factors for an explodey lake are already in place, I just don't know of a deep enough lake for it to happen there.

    Because humans are made of tougher stuff than that, and there is always someone who will find something incredibly dangerous fun. See those people that skydive in birdman suits.

    The thing to consider here is that humanity is kind of like a minecraft player. Previous generations have gotten past the part of hiding in dug holes in the wall with stone weapons hiding from large groups of mobs and hunting piecemeal animals (Dawn of man)

    We then moved to basic farming and defensible structures with fire and basic farming and/or animal domestication (neolithic era)

    To actively hunting, killing, and in some cases farming mobs for entertainment while we perform physics experiments within our walled strongholds with enough farmed foods gathered from around our world to one spot.

    Our generation is in the part of the minecraft game where we have our strongholds, farms, and machines to do make us survive. It still doesn't stop the fact that mobs can still kill you outside of the walls.

    Or in the case that a dangerous animal gets loose in the neighborhood mobs inside the stronghold.

    The Yellowstone quarantines have generally negatively affected the wildlife.

    The Indians native to the region are actually a part of the ecology of the area; their hunting patterns have influenced the habits, migrations, and population balance of the deer, the bears, and pretty much everything else.

    There are also the massive replanting efforts that are STILL ongoing in the wake of the Great Yellowstone Fire; you need people to maintain the ecology at this point so that the place does not collapse in on itself and become a desolate waste. And, in part at least, you need tourists to fund the conservation efforts. Tourists who should not go off the marked paths.

    The study of Yellowstone and all conservation efforts directed towards it are basically trying to find the proper balance to keep Yellowstone in a proper balance. We would not wish to exterminate the buffalo again.

    There are also rare bacteria living in those boiling lakes and springs which are above the boiling point of water. Microbiologists love Yellowstone. Microbiologists sometimes go off the marked paths. Microbiologists generally know what they are doing when they do this. You are not a microbiologist. Do not go off the marked paths.

    Yellowstone is a precious and important resource, not just for wildlife and the beauty of nature, but for the future of science.

    Do not go off the marked paths.

    Yellowstone is one of the few places where nature has formed a balance with human presence.

    It's odd.

    People argued that the Indians merely adapted to Yellowstone because they had such respect for the place, but when Phil Sheridan's orders were ignored and the Indians were barred from their traditional hunts, the wildlife became out of balance and it took years to recover stability.

    But it is not just the Indians. The conservation efforts of the United States Government, too, are now all but inseparable from Yellowstone's ecology. This is largely because America has so thoroughly FUCKED the place in the past, mind you. Feeding the bears. Do not feed the bears. Do not feed the wolves. If you see a bear or wolf, do not leave your cars and do not roll down your windows. Do not go off the marked paths.

    It is also odd that Sheridan, SHERIDAN of all people should have been an advocate in favor of Indian rights and traditions. It's almost as if Yellowstone needed him to argue its case, and so, changed him, to suit its purposes...

    ...nah.

    You only get one or the other. Either humans consume the wilderness (which they WILL do quite easily) or, the wilderness consumes the humans.

    The Imperium can quite easily destroy the death worlds and make them peaceful, but it doesn't because it wants people living on them to fight on death worlds the Imperium is conquering.

    On Hive Worlds, nature is gone. LONG gone. It's nothing but industrial waste and ash outside the hive cities.

    But if, by some chance, you DID get a combination world?

    It would be the most badass place ever to exist.

    You didn't see Outlanders for Necromunda. You have plague zombies, you have millipedes the size of people, and you are in an environment that has very little light, is very cramped, and is filled with toxins.

    Then you have the Sump or the Deep in Necromunda, a place where horrors occasionally get forced to the future and sometimes need the local PDF to get in and clear that shit out, or as is this Necromunda, some group of badass gangers looking for fame and fortune go down.

    You also had things like Sump Spiders, which were giant fucking spiders that could swim. Along with various types of fungus, including Razorweed, which is an organic barbwire the Imerpial Guard uses that grows in some places, and then

    Then you got Spryers, which are upper-hivers who want to prove themselves, so they tie themselves in a semi-organic suit and go down to the underhive to kill as many under-hivers as possible, sometimes they do it for fun.

    This is really only a handful of things of the many, many, many things that Necromunda throws at you in the game.

    Small picture, but this is a Young member of House Goliath, and considered scrawny by his kind.

    When 40k decides they want to make a place shit, they decide that they are going to go well past the point of anything rational, but never quite reach the level of New Jersey.

    THE ANCIENT WORLD OF TAMMUZ PRIME

    This world is an ancient eldar maiden world, later colonized by humans during the dark age of technology.

    This colonization became rapid, and this world eventually became a hive world, choked with ash and decay behind it's grand city-spires, home to three trillion human beings.

    This was not to last, however. During the age of strife, mankind lost this world to the mad psykers of this era. One destroyed a remote facility outside the hives containing innumerable species of death-world creatures, some of the fiercest pre age of strife mankind had encountered.

    Over ten thousand years later, on the current date, the world is in a constant state of war. The vast hive-cities remain, safe havens of humanity but also, places of crushing inhumanity. The dark jungles have consumed the world outside the hive - and are almost exclusively dangerous, carnivorous fauna and flora. Wandering bands of exiles have formed together and live in these jungles, surviving in the dangerous wilderness outside the vast hives.

    The world is in a perpetual state of war. The jungle attempts to invade the hives, and the hives perpetually attempt to expand into the jungle. It is an endless contest of man vs. environment.

    Little known to the inhabitants of this world, it is also a Necron Tomb world. In ancient times, this became an Eldar Maiden world to seal away the ancient horrors, and ensure they would not awaken again.

    Now, the land is a perpetual place of conflict between the deep hives chaos cults and mutants, the forces of the imperium, the awakening Necrons, Eldar reclaimers and Dark Eldar Raiders, and the land itself.

    Some call it hell. The people of Tammuz call it home.

    just read up on ghurkas

    Whispers of Gurkha war tactics quickly became legend among Axis soldiers. Stories of shadowy troops began to circulate; Gurkha soldiers who would break into German barracks at night. The stories went that the Gurkhas would quietly make their way through the soldiers; the first soldier in the line of beds would have his throat slit in his sleep, the second would have his bootlaces cut, and so on in that fashion. When a German soldier would wake up to see that the man on either side of him was dead, he would panic and immediately go for his boots; only to find that the laces were cut. They would be horrified to see this sign that they could have been killed as well.

    No doubt they occasionally do.

    The "natural" state of the world outside the hives is a desert. It might sift and cover an entire section of forest, while exposing an ancient ruin.

    And in short order, the plants cover it again. They lay buried, ready to spring to life again the second the sifting sands shift again to expose them to the surface. Or they infest the vast tunnels running under the planet, creating a great jungle underhive from which they spring every time the surface is cleared.

    The jungle does not die, but does not conquer.

    It's normal when threads about Earth being a Deathworld come up.

    The topic freaks people out enough when they realize the very planet we have supposedly conquered still has a trillion fangs and poisons and pains to destroy us with if we slip up even the slightest bit.

    Discussing Chaos is actually something to distract people from the horrors that are real life plants, animals, and places.

    Temperate deathworld. Secular technologic semi-corporatist/statist society. Multiple religious denominations of the Emperor mixed against themselves and a burgeoning series of Iconoclast sects, benign sects tend to ally with technological aspects of society. Lack of awareness of the Emperor as their universal savior contributes to religious feuding. Noted for a collection of semi-reliable lore, forbidden and lost to time, with no known physical method of comunication, suspected sub-Gamma-level psyker activity, specifically semi-astropathic postgnostication, within the "gaming industry". Genetic integrity of populace significantly notable, traces of genetic stagnation in heavily settled areas and select other social strata, overall quality above par with significant desirable variance. Military potential assayed at a blooming post-modern capable of supporting third-tier PDF operations world-wide, comparable to Elyssian Drop Forces in general doctrine and logistic focus; total force projection is fractured among several continental nation-states and petty alliances. Individual elements highly mobile and technically self-proficient.

    Recommendations: submit contract to Archeologis for pre-contact catalogue of ecological phenomina while Ecclesiastical mission is assembled for first-contact, subsequent purging, and conscription into penitent crusade; arbitration with Mechanicus representatives expected.

    Maailma, the world of postgnostic assayers, the entire history of the Imperium's conception, birth, and struggles woven into the tapestry of their culture by the storyteller's artful word. A boon as well for the people of Maailma were varied in blood and blessed by the Omnissiah's silent vigil that they survived the Long Night so intact for their war machine rivaled the best equipped of PDF forces and their soldiers took to the battlefield with zeal and stout hearts for the nightmares of the Emperor's foes had been the fairytales of their childhood. But woe unto the people of Maailma, for their great fortune wrought in them a cancer of doubt against all things, even the hardiest of faiths. Doubt would beget heresy and no such jewel of humankind could be allowed the chance to falter, so the Ecclesiarchy brought them under the fires of redemption and there was much blood shed upon the priests and their altars as brother killed brother in this new strife brought upon themselves from the stars.

    Well, if you're really interested, for a first purchase look into a .22lr rifle. That might sound silly, but the low recoil lets you develop proper technique and avoid getting a "flinch", a habit of twitching in anticipation of recoil that you can get if you learn on something heavier. Once you've got the technique down, grab a nugget. A nugget is a Mosin-Nagant model 1891/1930 rifle. Bolt action, Russian, easy to care for, dirt cheap (ninety bucks), heavier calibre so you can get used to recoil, and a dream to shoot if you get a good one. I'm recommending rifles at the moment because they're the easiest to acquire without having to wade through gun laws.

    Oh, and I think you meant the Litberty series. The Liberator was a little single shot bastard the US made during WWII to airdrop over Europe to resistance fighters. Thing took longer to reload than it did to make one. The idea was for a resistance fighter to hide it up a sleeve or in a pocket, use it to off a German soldier, and steal his weapons. A great gun with which to get another gun.

    "Oh shit, hysterics, call overwatch and tell them we have a brewing 901V on our hands- Mister Albreich, we aren't going to hurt your... your babies, we're just going to put them in a very safe place were they can't get hurt until you've shown that your theorems are safe to test- remember the Primer, Mister Albreich? 'First do no harm and no harm will be done.' Right? Remember, Mister Albreich? They told us that in our very first class and once a year, every year, those big windbags on the Board; now I want you to say it for me 'First do no harm and no harm will be done,' nice and simple, a good ethic to follow, Right, Mister Albreich?"

    "Very good, Mister Albreich, very good, this will reflect excellently on your review and, depending on your psychological evaluation you might even get off with a slap on the wrist; won't that be nice, Mister Albreich? You'll be able to start right away on proving your theorum soundly, I even hear a few members on the Board of Directors is hoping your research comes out favorably, but that's just hearsay, so I wouldn't get my hopes up to much, but people do like what you have- it just has to be safe, isn't that right, Mister Albreich?"

    "That's good to hear, Mister Albreich- say, have you eaten at all since you came down here? Come one, let's head up towards HQ and get you something that'll stick to your ribs before we go through processing down at Collections; get you some nice clean clothes and a comfortable cot to sleep on, then maybe you review your notes or talk with the adjutant who will be representing you during the review. A bit of R&R, doesn't that sound nice?"

    ...so wait, you obviously don't mean for them to be shitty, especially after the high-billing we tend to give modern forces against the abysmal statistics 40k writers dole out and comparing them to Elyssians, so...

    all I can think of is the Cadian Gate, a planet-bound and at-home PDF unit at quality with the level of professional Guard formations

    for a biology class we had to take cotton swipes of various places inside out school complex, i did some lockers and the floor of the gym. nothing interesting there, someone in a different class only took 1 cotton swipe from inside the cafeteria kitchen, i do not know much detail except that what eventually grew inside the pitridish looked something like a tiny fuzzy black palmtree. My biology teacher taped it up and send it to a laboratory to find out what it was exactly, they send a letter back which said that as soon as they tested it they sealed it airtight and tossed it into an incinerator.

    appearently tiny fuzzy black palmtrees kill within 24hours of inhilation.
