The infernic diggers have found no additional root locations.
Total: 20 wiry root locations.
The horizontal tunnel system at the topsoil level has reached about 1 hour's travel to the end of the tunnels and back to the main depth tunnel. They haven't been finding much recently.
Diggers have found a massive deposit, in the center of the close clusters.
The massive cluster does not appear to have an opening and it has unknown interior geometry. 20 larvae are being cared for next to this massive deposit.
More strands of organic strands have been found to the south. Eighteen clusters have been located.
Scouting tunnels have enountered a new root! These are an hour's travel from the hive to the west, and an hour's travel back. These roots are thick, and solitary. They seem to extend very deep into the soil. The roots also appear to be covered in a black-grey slimy substance.
Aphid pens: 13
Aphid pen construction halted due to aphid rebellion.
8 aphid pens occupied.
!! Aphids are attacking the ants which are tending to them! -- the wounded have been moved from the area, and cannot work. The aphids appear to be cooperating with eachother, protecting themselves. The aphids are being contained within the pen area.
The wounded ants appear to be suffering from the Aphid venom. It is unknown if they will survive.

The ants which are tending the wounded are not quite sure how to help, though they are keeping them well fed, using a variety of food types.

rolled 20 = 20

>>5927637

Anyone else chiming in?

>20, normal strain. Selection options -- Colossal, Water-walker.

>Stalker ants: These ants are named for both their stealth capabilities and their longer than normal legs. Their front two legs are 50% longer than their other legs, and are used for complex communications through contact. These ants are unable to emit pheromones. They are noticeably faster than regular ants. These specialized ants must be requested in specific numbers before the queen lays eggs.

>Honeypot ants: These ants are able to condense and store food and nutrients for extended periods of time. Nutrients can be excreted from the Gaster of these ants. They move at the speed of regular workers when unburdened by a large store of food, but slower than them with a large quantity of nutrients. The nutrients produced by these ants is a form of liquid sugar and cannot be stored in dirt or in the heat for extended periods, though the ants themselves can survive these conditions. They harvest food materials at a rate of a regular worker, but can instead convert it as they harvest into the nutrients for storage or bring it back like a regular worker. These specialized ants must be requested in specific numbers before the queen lays eggs.

>Acidic ants: These ants have acid glands scattered throughout their body, and if crushed will release acid into the surrounding locations. These ants are resistant to acid of like ants, though such protection does not extend to other ants. Their mandibles can secrete an acidic coating as well.

>>5927398

NAME HER BETTY

rolled 23 = 23

woo woo

>>5927815

So we pick between these for our first optional strain? If so, I say we get stealth ants. Our circle of awareness is pretty small as I remember it.

I want to join this quest.

>To clarify, two new strains are being produced. One choose between Colossal ants and Water-Walkers, the other choose between Stalkers, Honeypots, and Acidics.

>>5927946
Can we get stats on the colossal and water walkers?

can you give us more background on both Colossal and Water-Walking? I understand the basic idea, but would like more detail.

Certainly can.
>Water-Walker: Ants specifically designed to have a larger than average surface area on their undersides, or more specifically, their legs. Most ants are incapable of traversing over water bodies, or operating during the rain. Water-Walkers are capable of operating shortly after a rain and are able to travel over larger bodies of water, though water which moves rapidly is still dangerous. They are more or less identical to worker ants with the exception that they can traverse water and have a larger body, and summarily, slightly greater physical abilities but inferior combat potential.

>Colossus: Gigantic ants towering above even the queen and WarriorIIs, Colossi are extraordinarily well designed for defense ability, and have moderate offensive ability. They however, require significantly more food than a normal ant, 5x as much once matured. Their great size helps them traverse distances quicker than some of their smaller relatives. They are however, incapable of utilizing the Diving substrain ability. These ants are close to the size of a ladybug, 10mm by 8mm by 5mm. They cannot travel through the current tunnels however.

>Current votes: 1 for stalker.
1 vote to name the second Queen "Betty".

Water and stalker ants, then.

I second Water and Stalker

>>5928166
Agreed on Betty

Water and Stalker ants

Water Walker and Stalker ant strains chosen.
Queen Betty Decided upon.
Proceed with directing the hive.

Votin' stalker and Colossus, although I fully expect to be outvoted on the second.

I mean, we don't even have any water around us, but the Colossi could make killin' earthworms easier.

IIwarriors 75 newborn
Have 15 assist with guarding / controlling the aphids
Have 5 goind the groups of ants out patrolling in groups of 5.
Have 5 ants assist in guarding the entrance
have 5 ants assist in guarding the queen

Have 20 assist in helping with the earthworm

Have the last 25 head to the second base and start patrolling in groups of 5.

If the wounded ants are showing no progression I vote they be gotten rid of, as it stands they are merely a drag on the hive. If we can't do anything for them, let them die.

Do we still have the Warp Burrowing capability? I remember something like that from previous games.

Indeed, ants do have warped burrowing.

>>5928320
The wounded should be turned to food.

>>5928320
Well if we can figure out how to help then we may be able to get an upgrade out of it.

Anti-Fate grants us upgrades if we do cleaver or interesting things. It isn't holding us back to have some ants dealing with this and healing / medical information can come in handy down the road.

Can we get an update on the progress of attacking the earthworm? Are we making any headway at all?

Also, we found some new roots according to the last thread. Let's get some sloth workers on the ol' taste test. Draw five from the root cluster gatherers.

>>5928351
Of if we start eating them, we could get some kind of cannibal feat. I DUNNO.

>>5928359
I second this opinion

Earthworm combat progress unknown. It took some time to fell the first one.

>>5928388
How's about if we eat the wounded?

>I will not tell if specific actions will result in an upgrade ahead of time. You must use your own judgement in directing the Hive.

>>5928442
Have 5 of the wounded ants eat the dead aphid.

Have the ants trying to dig aphid pens stop and start digging a mineral storage chamber.

Aphid: x3 feeding ability. ? Energy food. Meat - Insect. !Kills wounded ants!
5 dead ants - 15 ants worth of food. x? feeding ability. ? Energy food. Meat - Insect.

>The massive cluster does not appear to have an opening and it has unknown interior geometry

Try digging around it, if needed it can just be part of the chamber.

>>5928512
>Aphid: x3 feeding ability. ? Energy food. Meat - Insect. !Kills wounded ants!
>5 dead ants - 15 ants worth of food. x? feeding ability. ? Energy food. Meat - Insect.

Have 5 ants that are tending the wounded eat the 5 dead ants. Have only them eat them.

>>5928540
Yeah, a controlled experiment.

rolled 12 = 12

dead tyranid ant: x1/2 feeding ability. Entropic Energy food. Meat - Insect - Canabalism. ! The five ants which consumed the corpses have grown slower!
!! Odd food source inspected! -- Own flesh. Xomgrade!

>Sloth strain affliction decreased by 10%

>>5928616
Xomgrade is the most hilarious thing I've seen in a long time.

>>5928616
I'm new here and have no idea what this means.

>>5928624
>Sloth strain affliction decreased by 10%
Handy.

>Require both larvae metamorphosis choices and egg laying choices. Stalker ants are produced at a rate of 1/5th normal ant production rate. 150 eggs to be laid by Tyranid Queen. Betty will not lay eggs this upcoming timestamp.

Hey guys, sorry I missed the last session

Tyranid eggs? oh god im going to have to read up the last thread, what did you guys DO?

>Just a name ambass.

What is betty's status? ie location etc etc
What is the name of our original queen?

>>5928752
75 Workers

75 Stalker


May as well get a good batch now for testing and getting used to them.

Betty is enroute to the secondary hive structure, and will begin her independent though supportive actions.
Main queen goes by the name: Tyranid Queen, and it is her namesake for which the rest of the hive is named: the Tyranid Hive.

>>5929255
Have all workers that are building food storage keep building and upgrading foodstorage.

Agree with having the Pen building ants start making a mineral storage area.

The building ants at base 2 should be building food storage area, Improving queen chamber to max size, taking the hachery to max size.

Have them splti evenly across the tasts. As they finish the queen and hachery chamber have the queen chamber group join the food storage group. Have the hachery group start making a treatment area.

>Where the HELL do you people keep getting the idea that some ants are digging more aphid pens?

>>5929469
I thought it said that the construction of new pens had been suspended. I am just trying to direct them to a new tast if they haven't been put on one already.

Has food been moved to the secondary hive for the new queen? if not, do so,

How are the aphids doing, if they have not been subdued sent 20 splendorous ant warriors to go separate them into individual pens

>>5929519
Agreed. If we have more aphids then pens we should kill the ones that can't have their own pen.

>Yeah -- suspended, No ants are doing that right now. There COULD be more pens built before the chamber reaches maximum size, but they aren't BEING BUILT right now. The ones which WERE doing that, are currently confronting the aphids.

>>5929534
If we do this then we should take 5 treatment ants and have them feed on the dead aphids. This is only if they are not wounded. Have only the 5 ants eat the aphids so we can get a long term effect study going on it.

>>5929543
Ok, sorry for the mix up Anti-Fate.

>Still waiting on Larvae designations. --Future ants distribution will need to be decided upon AT the time of laying as opposed to when larvae metamorphose.

<b>Electronic Cigarette</b>

Electronic cigarettes are great, it looks like a cigarette, feels
like a cigarette, tastes like a cigarette but it isn't a cigarette. It's a
non-flammable cigarette substitute that uses micro-electronic technology,
which provides smokers a real "smoking" experience without the fire,
tobacco, tar, or smell found in real cigarettes. You still get your
nicotine without having to suffer many of the other negative side effects
of tobacco smoking. It's smoking minus most of the bad effects! They even
allow you to inhale and exhale a real smoke "vapor" that replicates real
cigarette smoke.

Since the <a href=http://www.webanswersbeta.com/health/general-health-care/other-general-health-care/>Electron
ic Cigarette</a> does not burn tobacco or ash like a
traditional cigarette, it is not restricted by USA smoking laws and is
completely legal to use indoors i.e. restaurants, bars, etc. You can smoke
anywhere, anytime! There are no needs for lighters and you don't have any
messy leftovers to dispose of. The E-Cigarette is so much more than
economical than other "traditional" cigarettes, you enjoy the traditional
sensation of smoking, but avoid all of the other adverse side effects!.

The new E-Cigarette works by utilizing a very small in line vaporizer that
turns the liquid inside the cigarette into an atomized smoke mist. They are
fully re-chargeable and each E-Cigarette can last a full day on one single
charge. They make a variety of flavors that contain a either no nicotine or
a high levels of nicotine, depending upon what your intended use is.

The aphids reek of fear, anger and frustration, and their posture suggests they are almost cowering when the ants approach them. They seem to be especially fearful of the warriors. There is also another pheromone left where the 2 slaughtered aphids died. There is also one pheromone which hasn't been identified yet emitted by the aphids.

scouts, observe the wasps and spiders

>>5931371
If we end up having to ally with either wasps or spiders, I chose Wasps. It will give us respectable air power. Aditionaly social insect unity. Aditionaly many species of wasps/hornets (such as yellow jackets) can dig and make nests in the ground. Worker exchange programs. Our superior tunnel planning and digging abilities can work as trade for their military support as well as their ability to gather necture from longer ranges.

I gotta go now. . . Please finish making suggestions, and archive thread.
