>WHAT DO?
OMNOMNOM

Go to cities main source of power.

May that be a power plan/dam/etc.

Kill everyone there first, AVOID CONTACT WITH HOSTILES.

Police/PDF, anyone with hostile intent, avoid, just kill unsuspecting fools, sow fear.

>>7163905

Perhaps some context is in order.

You are currently at the lowest levels of the hive, living in a little-used alley that the locals refer to, rather ironically, as the Emperor's Pen. You can sense numerous sources of biomass nearby, out in the ill-lit streets, trading in black market goods and generally trying to scrape by. They will all soon be reborn in the glory of a tyranid form, but until that point, they are but prey.

Lets start by eating some hobos.

>>7163979
Enter Sneak Mode and examine Criminal Scum.

Also: take stock of currently equipped biomorphs.

>>7164013

Out on the street, you are able to see a thin, hungry-looking young man in a long overcoat, which seems to contain several illegal doses of stimms that he is trying to sell to passerby, with little success. Closer to home, around the corner of the building forming the left wall of the alley, you can sense the presence of what your pheremone receptors tells you is a human female, probably no older than 20 years of age, who seems to be in heat.

>>7164023

Current Biomorphs include:
- Rending Claws
- Flesh Hooks
- Lictor Claws (The Praying-mantis-style limbs)
- Feeder Tendrils
- Chameleonic Scales
- Pheremone Emitters
- A small amount of protective chitin

>>7164104
Use flesh hooks on girl. Eat her starting with the head.

>>7164104
Follow human female. She may be returning to her nest, which may suit us as a base of operations.

>>7164104
Follow human female, she will no doubt lead us to others.
Then eat and rape.

>>7164164
>>7164180

Confirmed: Follow breeder and wait for more biomass to present itself.

Climbing up the walls of the building, you proceed to activate your chameleonic scales, and crawl out to the street proper. Luckily, the lighting is poor higher up, so you go unnoticed as you make your way above the girl, who seems to have just left the building you are crawling on. She proceeds down the street to the left, allowing you to follow her easily for several blocks, before arriving at the residential portion of this slum, where she makes her way into one of the dilapidated buildings. It appears as if the squatters here are living in the remnants of industrial warehouses.

>>7164270
How many human life forms can we sense in the building /w Feeder Tendrils?

>>7164270
how much biomass is required to be able to attain human form?

>>7164270
Enter through one of the higher points in the building, survey for highest concentrations of biomass.
Target lone entities first, to avoid raising an alarm or letting them know of your presence until it is time for them to be fed upon.

>>7164301

You are detecting upwards of 15 human-sized organisms inside, pheremones confirm that no males are present.

>>7164270
Single out a human in the process of hibernation. Preferably one intoxicated and well out of sight of the others. Position on a perch above, descend silently, insert feeder tendrils into windpipe to stop screaming

confirm command, synapse creature.

>>7164320
disregard this, avoid detection at all costs

we are not ready to have a hive gang go hunting for us

yet

>>7164347

RAEP TIEM NOW

>>7164356
The Hive confirms this action

>>7164318

Should've rolled genestealer. Too late for that now, though.

>>7164320

Creeping in through a broken window, your enhanced senses are able to discern that the majority of the humans live in the back of the warehouse, each with their own 5-meter cubicle, filled with bedding and personal effects.

Query to the central Hive. Can additional biomorphs be evolved once sufficient biomass is obtained?

>>7163889

>hive city of Sectavian V

>the planet's plentiful jungles

>>7164385
Synapse creature, confirm command. Single out a humanoid out of sight. Preferably in one of these "lap dance booth" advertised on the walls, as this cerebral subsector can translate low gothic.

>>7164385
from lexicanum, do we have this?

"They are known for devouring their prey's brains to assimilate its genetic material"

If so, let's get one of human, preferably wait until sleep and get one that seems 'drunk'

>>7164428
Hive confirmed. Find an isolated humanand consumer for biomass. Eliminate swiftly and silently to avoid detection. Flesh hook from the rafters is both efficient and awesome.

Proceed to devour each one, beginning by going for ripping out the throat to keep them from screaming or yelling and such.

>>7164392

Confirmed: Additional Biomorphs can be developed, but at the cost of increased feeding requirements to remain active.

>>7164428

You easily pick your way through the girders of the upper levels, making your way to the back, where the humans seem to congregate. Lowering quietly onto one of the cubicles' tops, you are able to discern speech-like sounds emanating from below. Attempt to decipher, or ignore?

>>7164505

Decipher

>>7164505
decipher

>>7164528
>>7164535

The voices coming from below seem to be discussing the latest gossip in the underhive - Most of the information can be discarded as irrelevant, but one piece does warrant further consideration - The workers at the hive's main power plant seem to be ready to revolt, due to the dangerous work conditions and buildup of organic waste material in the plant's lower levels.

>>7164620
Noted...comence with the devouring. The second one turns its back to walk away, snatch the other up into the rafters /w flesh hooks and eat him for biomass.

>>7164620
An uprising means angry and careless people out late, listen more if possible.

Can we PLEASE just get to raping women and eating their brains?

>>7164653
>implying tyranids would even bother raping biomass.
You're looking for Zerg.

>>7164653
What is this raping you speak of and what purpose will it serve to the hivemind?

>>7164620
Jump down, execute fancy decapitating manouver and OMNOMNOM?

I dont care how just eat something already. The Hive is HUNGRY!

Question. How many days before the fleet arrives does the Hive Mind block communications?

>>7164644
>>7164653

Request to listen further overruled, feeding commences NOW.

As the conversation ends, a figure emerges from the cubicle, adorned with shiny metallic objects and wearing a few small pieces of cloth. You fire your flesh hooks into the thin creature's body, and quickly pull the corpse back up to feed upon. It is a human female, this one approximately twenty-five years of age, and weighing 44.5 kilograms. You crack open her skull, and begin to devour the delectable brainmeats. Within ten minutes, nothing is left.

Time until Fleet's arrival: 7 days
Biomass consumed: 44.5 kg
Energy reserves: 14 hours

>>7164685
By inserting feeder tendrils into various parts of the human body, information can be gathered about the chemical and biological makeup of the humans on this planet. This information can then be used to better understand the prey, and thus can make it easier to formulate a strategy to consume them.

>>7164762

Depends on size. Your particular splinter fleet is capable of blocking communications when it reaches the 3-days-until-arrival mark.

>Biomass consumed: 44.5 kg
What was she, twelve?

>>7164762
At 7 days i'd say the shadow is at least starting ot interfer, of course, it's whatever the op says

Also, we need an objective, i propose the destruction of as many defenses in the hive as possible, preparation of entrances (cleaning of guards, etc...), for this, we should search info about entrances

Also, destroying Anti-orbit weapondry were possible

How far have we fallen that we're eating prostitutes? We need QUALITY foodstuffs if we're to represent the first generation of the Hivefleet's warriors.

>>7164795
Probably starved. We are in the slums.

>>7164799
Disabling that powerplant sounds good, if we can find it on our own.

>>7164824
Surely that info was in the delicious brain we just ate, if not, we only need to eat more brains until we get a good map to the powerplant

Lets go to the Underhive and find the sekrit entrances to the Hive. We'll fight giant mutants and rats and whatnot.

>>7164850

Confirmed: Partial data on location of the plant has been absorbed. Specifically, the plant is visible from the far side of the slums. Path through the slums has been mapped - from there, you're on your own.

>>7164887
Then let's reach the edge and plan from there, maintain camouflage and use least travelled paths

...you said "Current Biomorhps", does that mean we can get more? if so, how and what?

Start making path towards powerplant to investigate.
On the way there, snag any unwary individuals who are carrying stimulant narcotics to start development of adrenal glans.

>>7164919

Additional biomorphs require biomass. As far as what can be grown, any preexisting weapon symbiotes or biomorphs, as well as novel ones that you can adequately explain.

>>7164919
There's still biomass in this warehouse. We might fill in our map some more.

Why hasn't GW made a damn nid game yet? This is brilliant.

>>7164962

Confirmed: En route to power plant.

On the way, you come across two additional individuals, one with stimms on his person.

Time until Fleet's arrival: 7 days
Biomass consumed: 194.5 kg
Energy reserves: 30 hours

>>7164972
Well, I think some additional chitin would be in order.

>>7164982
Acceptable, but we must take care to hide anything that might show someone that we are here, can we destroy/hide the bodies? (if we're not eating the fully) also, don't eat too many here, we must change of location as much as possible

>>7164996
Basically, we're playing the Alien campaign from AvP.

>>7164999
How useful are stimms to us?

>>7165003
Right now, our best ally is camouflage... maybe a way to kill from away, bioplasma? or if not some way to distract humans

>>7165038

You can develop organs to manufacture them. Given the side-effects of some, this may be a useful ability, especially if you're able to convert them to aerosol form.

>>7165066
Observe drug-deal. Drag dealer into alley after conclusion.

>>7165132

Requesting confirmation: Target desired alive, or dead?

>>7165157
I don't see any use for alive, but i'll wait for confirmation from someone else

>>7165157
What possible use would he be to us alive? Eat him

>>7165157
I see no practical use in keeping any targets alive after we have revealed ourselves to them, unless we can turn them into genestealers.

>>7165157
Target desired NOMed.

Must become hive tyrant! eat, grow, shit rippers!

>>7165169
>>7165187
>>7165191

Confirmed: Kill target on sight.

After locating a dealer in a back alley en route to the edge of the slums, you wait until his client vanishes before descending and decapitating him. An analysis of the goods on his person reveal that he has a dozen vials of low-grade stimms, two vials of spook, and one vial of an unknown red substance resembling non-human blood.

>>7165250
Before assimilating, how can all these affect us? we wouldn't want to die lowly from a drug, specially before opening up some way

>>7165250
Sample blood. Examine chemical makeup.

>>7165277

Stimms: Will aid in the growth of your currently-forming adrenal glands.
Spook: Given enough, you may be able to develop sustained access to warp-related abilities.
Blood: Access to the genetic data of whatever species it originated with.

Aerosol versions of all of these drugs may have markedly different effects.

>>7165313

Suck 'em down. I say we start some adrenal glands

>>7165313
Does devouring the brain of the dealer give us any idea as to where we might be able to find a larger supply of the substances he had on him?

>>7165250
>>7165313
Damn, he didn't have any slaught. Now that would have been a fun thing to spray a room with.
Carefully absorb stimm and use it to help adrenaline glands grow stronger/faster.

query: do we have any knowledge of other tyranid organisms on the planet? What about planet is attracting hive fleet? If it is a gene-stealer cult we should arrange our plans accordingly.

>>7165331
Sounds like a good plan. Awaiting Hive response for action: consume stimms.

>>7165282

Blood is instantly recognizable as Ymgarl Genestealer stock. The most notable trait to be gained is the development of an ovipositor, with all that that implies.

>>7165331

Confirmed: Stimms and blood sample absorbed. Require confirmation for spook.

>>7165339

His brain is less clear than you'd like - too many years of drugs have taken their toll. However, you are able to lift the location of his supplier, a fat human by the name of Krun - he owns a bar in this district, known as the "Broken Faceplate".

This diversion may be what we need. Eliminating a major supplier may add to the discontent of working biomass.

This is like if Prototype and 40k had a child.

I LIKE IT.

>>7165370

Other lictors impacted in the jungles - no mental link has been established. Presumably they're out of range. Genestealers are somewhere in the hive, but again, are out of range.

>>7165422
Seek out Broken Faceplate. Must acquire drugs and blood for continued development of biomorphs.

>>7165450
Go to broken faceplate. Locate drugs. Begin to consume. Rapidly.

>>7165422
I hope ovipositor means we can start reproduction and prepare "ripper traps", you open a door, ripper swarm to the face

Still, i'm getting ahead, for now let's
1- Get enought energy reserves for 7 days
2- Get info in this "Krun" fellow
3- Prepare to attack the powerplant

>>7165250
>>7165250

EAT THE RED VIAL

Hint: It's slaught.

Also:
Eat Spook
AdviceNid.jpg
Become Zoanthrope

>>7165422
I don't think we actually need an ovipositor. We don't have enough time before the arrival of the fleet to breed up an army, so any attempts would be a waste of biomass.

Do we have a location for the bar? How populated is it?

>>7165489
slowpoke.jpg

Continued spook consumption may allow for an increase in range, allowing us to contact other lictors. Seek out drugs in the Broken Faceplate.

>>7165470
>>7165471

Postpone powerplant visit in search of "Broken Faceplate"?

>>7165477

Confirmed: Enables genestealer-style reproduction, as well as production of lesser tyranid organisms.

Time until Fleet's arrival: 7 days
Biomass consumed: 250 kg
Energy reserves: 40 hours

>>7163889

Find a restaurant. Work part-time as a chef. Consume food stock for biomass. Win award for excellence in cooking. Get invited to corrupt governor's mansion. Cook. He's the main course for the other guests.

We should at least see the exterior of the powerplant tonight, get an idea of how close to rebellion the workers are and how we're getting in when it starts.

Head to the Broken Faceplate, but with stealth. Stick to shadows and back roads. We cannot risk being spotted at this point, the Shadow has yet to fall and worst case they may be able to sound an alert.

Once there, consume enough stimms to finish our adrenal glands, and attempt to locate some Spook. warp abilities could help us in locating the other lictors and genestealer cult.

Make our way to the bar while consuming anyone who has the misfortune of being alone.

>>7165518
Yes, postpone power plant objective in favor of running down more drugs.

>We should at least see the exterior of the powerplant tonight
Good idea.

>get an idea of how close to rebellion the workers are and how we're getting in when it starts.
We might want to postpone this for half a day or so.

>>7165500
>>7165523
>>7165525

Confirmed: Locate Broken Faceplate.

Stealthily making your way through the streets, mainly on roofs, you are able to locate the bar after a couple of hours, during which you feed on a few street urchins to maintain your energy levels.

Outside the bar's entrance are a pair of burly thugs that you identify as Ogryn; Both are wielding hand cannons.

>>7165558
>>7165525
>>7165523
Well, the stims seem to be winning in our brain, so be it, but at least let's be careful and not throw too much shit, there are going to be guards (examine hierarchy data) since this man has dealers running for him

>>7165587

Suggest postponing incitement of riot until fleet is closer. If orchestrated so riot and subsequent power lose coincides with the Fleet's blackout of communications of any sort. IT would ensure the last three days could be a frenzy.

>>7165591
Action: climb building to find an alternate point of entry.

Attempt to formulate a distraction by which one of the ogryn may be isolated and ambuhsed, perhaps by rapping on a nearby wall. Avoid direct confrontation. Confronting both is dangerous to the mission (i.e. continued existence).

>>7165612
>>7165613

Awaiting confirmation on a given course of action; Confront or avoid?

>>7165523
>>7165525
>>7165558
Are we sure there aren't Arbites troops nearby waiting to kick down doors and let loose sum buckshot? I mean, it IS a bar/drug point

>>7165629
an ogryn could proabably rip us in half. let us find a stealthier way in. avoid.

>>7165629
Avoid.

>>7165629
For now, examine, search for better entrances, if nothing is found, proceed with distraction plan

Wait for someone to leave the bar alone, consume them for knowledge of interior layout and potential resistance. If too heavily fortified, move on for now and proceed with power plant plan.

It is too early and our chitin too thin to risk a firefight at this point.

>>7165630
>Implying Arbites give a fuck about low-hives.

Paranoia gland has a sensible urge. Climb and look for vantage points of entry, ambush, or hypothetical other human guardian drones (i.e. Arbites units).

A lictor can easily eat an ogryn if it is surprised and alone. Only real danger is not getting the jump on it.

>>7165649
>>7165658

Confirmed: Avoid guards.

Making your way over to the top of the building, you locate a vent of sufficient size to accomodate you, as well as a section of loose roof tiles.

>>7165629
AVOID DEAR CHRIST

Someone better achive this for us who're in the GMT+ zones.

>>7165693

What delicious manflesh smells waft from inside the vent?

>>7165693
Use the vent.

We can absorb knowledge from anything right? Try to locate some pests crawling around those vents we just found, maybe one of them has a "map" we could use.

>>7165677
They don't of course, but wouldn't you jump at the chance to kill/arrest/maim people just because you have probable cause, the Emperor's blessing AND are legally allowed to execute those you believe are commiting heresy/treason/xeno-lovin'?

>>7165726
I doubt a pest would have such an advanced mind, unless it's a jumping spider, and in that case it's a dangerous enemy

>>7165756
There could be a rat or something

>>7165711

Typical bar smells - Iho sticks, alcohol, breeders, and an undercurrent of LOTS of illegal drugs. You are able to verify, by scent, Krun's presence.

>>7165726

A family of rats yields information about the main bar area - Typical setup, long bar behind which drinks are stored, as well as some guns. Main bar area is largely open, but the ventilation system leads both to the bathroom and storage room.

>>7165780
Drugs are most likely in storage. Go for it.

>>7165780

Climb through ventilation, try to locate Krun. Check for fellow bimass protectors in his presence. Gauge possibility of winning an assault on everything within his presence.

>>7165780
Storage room! If there's someone in there alone, eat them. Then see what is stored back there.

Check on how many life forms are inside and on where the drugs at.

>>7165780
go into storage, silently devour anybody found inside the room

>>7165780
Bathroom, if only for the lulz, more tactically, if we leave a mess (human-provoked looking mess) in the bathrooms, the other areas will become less guarded

Ignore sudden vague desire for "cheese".

Crawl inside and eat whoever is currently attempting to use the bathroom.

>>7165800

Alright, storage room first, that seems like a better idea. But THEN this!

>>7165801
thirded. drug consumption and evolution is top shelf at the moment.

If there's vent access to bathrooms, lift any poor bastard taking a piss/dump/puke and eat him. Messy, but take what we can get for now.

The best course of action is to wait for now. Lictors are powerful, but I doubt one could take out an entire bar of potentially armed humans without taking serious injury or possibly death. Once the bar begins to clear out, we can eliminate any stragglers to recoup our lost biomass and then begin to consume our target and drugs.

This planet can still communicate with the Imperium. They must not yet know we are here.

>>7165794
>>7165801

Confirmed: Head for storage area.

As you make your way through the ventilation system (It's a tight squeeze, but you're able to navigate it easily enough), you can hear the sounds of the bar below. Up ahead, you can hear a mobile entertainment broadcaster - someone's in the storage room, but as you come up to the vent's intake unit, it becomes clear that the thin, weedy man in charge of guarding the storage room is asleep in front of the glowing screen.

Bathroom sounds good for picking people off. They'll come in one at a time, probably to shoot up.

>>7165870
Eat him. Eat stored goods.

>>7165850
Main bar is for sure a death trap. Those Ogryn are right outside and there are bound to be more bouncers.

>>7165838
we shouldnt go into the bathroom, if there are more than one meatbag present, we risk alerting the whole bar. Think about it, it only takes about 2 steps to get to the door in most low budget bars. I think the best is to go into the storage room, more less likely to have more than one person inside

>>7164996
>>7165447

THESE. A 40k game playing as a Lictor like this would be fucking AWESOME.

Disassemble any weapons located as first priority, probably by chewing off choice bits of metal.

>>7165870
Eat thin weedy man. camo into room. Do Cocain....errr, stims.

>>7165870
strangle with flesh hooks, devour corpse, examine items in storage room

>>7165897

After eating the man, of course.

>>7165872
Hive confirmed. Set up ambush spot in restroom once human and all drug supplies in storage room are consumed. Do not target every entrant, maybe every third. Continue to do so until front room population thins enough for direct approach.

>>7165870

Pounce a motherfucker for all the initiative value you're worth.

>>7165926
odd question here.
how the fuck are we inhaling people and NOT expanding :o

>>7165926
wouldnt the biobags get suspicious of why their friend didn't come back when he said he was just gonna take a piss?

>>7165879
>>7165899
>>7165897
>>7165903

Carefully removing the grate over the intake, you lower yourself into the room, stalk over to the man, and pick his weapon up, bending the barrel such that it won't be able to fire. You then snap his neck expertly, and begin to dine on his brain. As you do, however, you hear footsteps approaching the door behind you.

>>7165926
>>7165838

NO NO NO.
That's just reckless, the Hive Mind is smarter than that. We are here for supplies, not to be discovered or get into a shootout.

Consume the human quickly and quietly. Proceed to stimms and spook. We must establish contact with the others on this world, and warp abilities will assist with that.

>>7165956
Toss corpse into vents quick, Camo, press up against the side of the wall. When the meatbag walks in, close the door and POUNCE.

>>7165956
go back up, pull corpse up into vent with you to not start an alarm

>>7165956

Multiple pairs? Heavier footfalls or lighter?

>>7165956
Ceiling! Activate Chameleon Scales and cling to the ceiling!

>>7165944
Every third target specified so as not to initiate panic state in bar populace.

Hivemull inquiry; Is frontroom communication audible from ventilation system? If so, use to determine feeding pattern; any organism that announces they are (vernacular systate;) "going to take a piss" or similar intention of waste expulsion, leave intact.

>>7165956

Uh oh. Get ready to yank the guy in there and slam the door shut. Once that's done, scurry up the vents holding as much "evidence" of your presence.

>>7165967
I approve, execute

>>7165984

Two sets of heavy footfalls. Based on the scent in the air, one of them is Krun, and therefore unlikely to be a threat. The other is an unknown quantity.

Stow corpse (possibly in mouth) and locate suitable hiding spot. The lifeforms will surely investigate the blood, we must be prepared to be able to ambush or retreat once they make the discovery.

Hide the body, possibly in the vent we emerged from.
Camo on the ceiling, wait for the others approaching to enter. Odds are that it is Kurn. Attack any armed humans that accompany him first, then proceed to searching Kurn's mind for any useful information. Once that is complete, proceed to adrenal gland development and finding more spook.

>>7165956
EVACUATE IMMEDIATELY, USE FLESHOOK BIOPROP TO BRING CORPSE ALONG

>>7165983
do this. make sure to not leak blood everywhere.

>>7166007

>>7165983 This plan seems sound. Attempt to bring the gun as well.

>>7166013
Do we really need to kill him (right now i mean) I would prefer to evaluate the new situation before acting

If it can be avoided, that is preferable. But if the blood from our previous feeding tips them off, then they must be silenced.

Hide in vent, take body and lasgun. Prepare ambush if suitable target.

Awaiting consensus on:

Remain in room and ambush approaching humans v. Flee with corpse and weapon.

Vote for hiding corpse in vent and waiting in room with camo

>>7166013
Hive conflicted; conflict with multiple opponents will rapidly increase noise levels and alert frontroom organics to Lictor's presence. Do NOT attack unless 'Kurn' is alone.

>>7166049
Hide corpse, hide self. Prepare to ambush once they are INSIDE.

Retreat with corpse and weapons. While failure in this side-mission is likely at this point, failure in overall mission due to termination of this Lictor is unacceptable.

>>7166043

Vote for this.

>>7166049
Posit consensus; flee with corpse and weapon.

I think the Hivemind's consensus is to hide and see what happens.

>>7166049
Ambush. Fire flesh hooks into vocal chords. then tear them in half with your chainsaw feet.

>>7166049
Stow the body, and camo on the ceiling. Odds are they will not notice the mess, but if they do, we MUST be in a position to stop them from calling for help.

>>7166007
wait in vent. once Krun and his bodyguard(?) come into the room, drop corpse on them to distract them and descend on top of them, slaughter both at once before they sound alarm. search Krun's mind for more info on this 'revolt' before devouring biomass of victims and search for stimms

>>7164104
>Out on the street
THEY CALL IT
MUUUUUUUUURDEEEEEEEER!!!

Do both because we're a Lictor.

>>7166093
Hive nexus C; Upswing in neural stimulants. Hive communicant recognized as "humorous", produced audible response. Pheremone commendations en route.

>>7166078

Agreed.

>>7166062
>>7166068
>>7166069

Confirmed: Hide corpse, hide self with potential for ambush but intent for observation.

You stow the corpse in the vent, and cling to the ceiling above the door, settling in just as the door opens, Krun and one of his dealers walking in.

Looking around, Krun grunts something about terminating the guard you just offed - "Always in the fucking shitter" - and proceeds to lead the dealer to the back of the room, where he palms a spot on the wall, causing one of the panels to withdraw and reveal a stairway downwards.

>>7166078
Hive confirmed.

>>7166136
Follow them.. ON THE CEILING OF THE STAIRWELL.

The Hive wants to see where this leads.

>>7166136

When they go in FOLLOW BEFORE THE DOOR AUTOMATICALLY CLOSES. Do so with Camo Scales activated. Witness what is going on downstairs.

>>7166136

Potentialy valuable intelligence. Follow them...silently. If we are noticed then rip their asses apart.

>>7166136
wait till they get to the bottom, preferably in a noise proof area. then FEED on DELECTABLE BRAINMEATS

>>7166152
Prevision: When Krun dies, make sure that his hand stays intact, we'll need to get out, so for a time, better carry it

Krun and another dealer? Oh, just more biomass. Decapitate both, one with each limb, and stuff a headless body in the new doorway so that it doesn't seal shut.

>>7166136
Another vote for follow silently on the ceiling cos it's FUCKING AWESOME.

Be sure to get in the door quickly incase it closes and shit.

>>7166136

Shadow them to find out where the stairway leads. Are either visibly armed, or potentially capable of alerting others before termination?

>>7166136
Pursue Krun and other human, maintaining camoflage. Estimation of hidden door closing behind them; 82%. Estimation of hidden door mechanism keying solely to Krum's manipulator flesh encryption; 35%.

>>7166160
>>7166157
>>7166152

You quickly make your way across the ceiling, barely making it through in time before the panel resets. As the two descend the stairs, they seem to be conversing on how best to keep the power plant's workers supplied with drugs, to prevent the revolt. They mention upping the rations as a stopgap measure, as the three of you emerge into a much larger storeroom, roughly five meters in height, ten in length and width, and stocked to the roof with drugs - primarily stimms, but you can sense spook and some others near the back.

Eat. Everything.

Starting with the things that might fight back, of course.

>>7166203

Now can we kill them?

>>7166203

Now's as good of a time as any, drop in on em and feed. Start with the other one first since it seems like Krun's not much of a threat/armed.

>>7166203
Weeell, le'ts stop drug distribution, first, check for cameras or any guards, we're in the enemy den, let's be cautious

>>7166203

Ambush. Consume all, save for Krum's manipulators.

>>7166203
We've heard enough.
Kill'em both now, either simultaneously or the mystery man THEN Kord, as fast as possible.
And then we eat every fucking pill and dust and rock and liquid and leaf we find in that room.

>>7166203

Jackpot. See if we can sense any other nearby biomass.
If not, continue shadowing Krun and his associate for useful information. Then feed.

>>7166219
>>7166224
>>7166227

Confirmed: No guards or cameras. The room seems to solely contain drugs. Commence killing and feeding?

>>7166203
Stay hidden and see what they do and say before making a move on them - we still fully intend to kill and NOM them - saving a hand for the exit panel thing.

EAT EVERYTHING IN THE ROOM

>>7166203
Hive consensus requires reevaluation; elimination of Krum and consumption of drug material may incite plant revolution well before optimal parameters (last three days considered ideal). Hive node recommending Krum remain intact for present time, minimal consumption of stim supply to fully manifest adrenal gland.

>>7166244
OM NOM NOM NOM NOM

>>7166244

OMNOMNOMNOMNOMNOMNOMNOMNOM

Dismantle the stranger and Krun, eat everything but the hands.

Then consume all the stims and such.

>>7166244
Kill Everything

Somebody drawfag a Lictor dressed as a drug dealer, STAT.

"I nom Cocaine!"

>>7166244
Requesting tactical delay of .03 seconds until hive consensus reevaluation >>7166250 is resolved.

>>7166250
The workers revolt, the powerplant goes down. Powergrid goes down, the hive gets even MORE chaotic. And in the confusion of mass-crimesprees, looting, and wild killin's, a drug fuelled lictor can have seven great nights on the town before the Hive Fleet comes in for the devouring.

OMNOMNOMNOMNOM DELICIOUS DRUGS YOU MUST EAT THEM!

>>7166255

This. Also, proposal: Optimal consumption of Spook may be through nasal cavities.

>>7166250
Negative, it's doubtful that a hive is supported by a single power plant, and having one stop without more intervention allows us to attack other parts of the hive that will be less guarded then

Kill them, extract useful information, and then proceed to complete our adrenal and warp biomorphs.

>>7166267

Granted. As you wait, Krun and the dealer make their way to the back of the room, where the stimms border the more exotic compounds.

The Hivemind has spoken loud and clear. it is time to eat some motherfuckers.

>>7166269
Hive confirmed. Requesting estimate of chaos Lictor unit is capable of inducing when power grid goes offline to keep matters confused until Fleet arrives; chaos of downed grid considered ideal cover.

>>7166250

Locking down the internal planetary governments with local conflicts will prevent them from noticing the Tyranid scout force before the Shadow of the Warp overtakes them.

>>7166267
>>7166267

If the powerplant goes down, a lictor can do whatever the fuck he wants in the dark.

>>7166250
Point conceded. However, we have no reliable information regarding the size of the planned power plant revolt; it might well be a minor uprising easily quelled. Alternately, it might contain a genestealer cult which we could link up with and convince to delay. Regardless, it is unlikely that the death of one dealer and consumption of one stockpile will cause planetary-scale alteration in politics, even by a matter of a few days.

However, to play it safe, wait for Krum to leave and then eat his drugs.

>>7166277

Consume biomass, followed by pharmaceuticals, with the above-mentioned exception for manipulators.

BREAK THEIR BACKS!

KILL MAIN EAT!

>>7166277
Hive consensus resolved. Proceed in consumption of Krum and associate, and all drug material contained in room unless noticable negative biofeedback develops.

Eat the goddamn delicious steak-men already!

Krun's connected. We sure we don't want to put eggs in him?

Drug shortage leads to worker revolt.
This lets us move on from that plan, allowing us to establish contact with the other lictors and the genestealer cult.

Kill the associate, then Krun. Consume them (except their hands) for information about other key players in the area, and from that devise a plan. Consume drugs to complete development of our adrenal glands are warp abilities.

>>7166310
>(except their hands)

I can't remember what that's from, but I just LOL'd.

>>7166292
I can accept, but would the not dead of the dealer modify anything after we've eaten his drugs? if it's about the power plant we can go scout and search better information there after the killing
actually, that sounds like a great objective
I vote for it

>>7166281

Confirmed: Kill biomass, retain manipulator, consume drugs.

The scuttle across the ceiling, hanging right above the two as Krun shows off a fresh shipment of "Combat Stimms" - what you recognize as more Ymgarl Genestealer blood.

Dropping down from the ceiling, you cause the pair's spinal cords to telescope, as your mantid limbs take their place, killing them instantly and silently.

Examine drugs in the back, or consume indiscriminately?

>>7166309
I don't think we need to. I don't even think that we have developed that thingie yet.

>>7166310
Hive confirmed. (Vernacular systate); "Shoot up and pig out."

The hive is clearly in favor of eating them. Make it happen

>>7166330
Examine drugs, also examine Krun brain, we need to link up with the genestealers

Keep an eye for any visitors (unprobable, but no risk taking)

>>7166330
Consume Krun. He will know what everything is.

>>7166330

Examine, then consume any Spook found first.

Is there any benefit to consuming more Ymgarl Genestealer blood?

Munch on some of the stimms we have already tasted while examining other drugs. No reason you can't eat while you work. Or eat while you think. Or eat while you eat, though Hive is unsure how many mouths this Lictor was deployed with.

>>7166330
Careful observation of any and all parameters is ideal when not under time constraint. Examine pharmeceuticals before consumption.

>>7166330
Examine exotic wares.

Eat Krug brain, then if we still dont know what it is, examine. Also see if his brian knows where he got this Genestealer blood.

The brain. Know where everything is, what everything is, and where we can get more of anything new and useful we discover.

>>7166356
I'm sure that can be arranged

Also, the thread is in 220+ posts, shouldn't we get this archived by now?

>>7166348
>>7166347

Consumption of Krun's brain reveals the following about the stockpile;

30 kilograms of Ymgarl Genestealer blood.
25 kilograms of spook.
10 kilograms frenzon.
40 kilograms obscura.
1 kilogram slaught.

>>7166390
Jackpot.

>>7166390

Nom away!

>>7166390
When we eat this, our biomass will be made of 29.8% drugs.

>>7166390
Happy birthday to us.

>>7166390
Request evaluation; effects on Lictor of following substances;
Frenzon
Obscura
Slaught

>>7166390

Consume 35 kg Obscura

Savor delectable meats. Move on to consuming spook.

Produce more data on obscura, frenzon, and slaught from brain.

>>7166411
Agree with this Hive. Look before we nom.

>>7166411

Recommended use: absorb, create glands to manufacture, devise system to distribute in aerosol form on-command.

So we're creating Doomrider in Lictor form.

>>7166409
You forgot to count Krun and his partner, so it'll be less than that.

NOMNOMNOMNOMNOMNOM DOOOOOOOM LICTOOOOOOR!

>>7166432
DOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM LICTOR
Nom nom nom nom

What is this Lictor's analysis efficiency, i.e. minimum consumption required to sample drug for later self-manufacture.

>>7166436
Okay, conceded. Still, unless they're more than 150kg combined it'll still be above 20%.

>>7166441
>>7166439

Cocaine Hivemind

>>7166431
I guess we want a riot-maker. And we have a bar to test it on!

>>7166445

Minimum consumption required for production is 20 grams.

>>7166447
And that's just amazing.

>>7166454
BRILLIANT!

>>7166431
Hive confirmed on provision biomass expenditure is minimal.

Tactical evaluation; possibility of syncing with other lictors and any other Hive presences on planet surface, combining biomass, deploying pharmeceutical aerosol throughout hive via coagulate biomass Titan deployment form.

Vernacular systate; "Eat all the drugs, learn how to make more, pass on knowledge to all the other Lictors, and drug the shit out of the entire hive with Obscura gas."

>>7166454
Make this happen. NOW!

Consume 1kg of each, snort entirety of Spook reserve, emit high-pitched mimicry of small female organism learning courtship rituals, muffle with mantid claw.

we're autosaging. make a new thread?

Doom Lictor, spreading the love of massive drug overdoses.
Also, sneaking suspicion the the Genestealer blood is provided by the local brood.

>>7166330
examine Krun's brain for clues regarding where he got the Genestealer blood, devour biomass, devour drugs, spend time in basement to develop new biomorphs (adrenal glands and that stuff the spook gives you to communicate through the warp or somesuch)

>>7166458
What info have we got about power infrastructure of the hive?

Consume samples at least, follow other nodes suggestions about this matter

>>7166479

/r/ link to part two NAO

http://suptg.thisisnotatrueending.com/archive/7163889/

>>7166454
Well, at least we have enough Obscura for synthesis. That's pretty much the opposite of a riot-maker, but spitting the stuff would help us eat Ogryns.

>>7166528
It only needs 20 grams, we can make any of those.
So we can create a toxin dispersal biomorph, and pump the ventilation system full of slaught.

Obscura will likely cause passivity. Slaught will likely cause rage.

Also, 20 grams is well below the specified consumption of 1 kilogram (i.e. 1000 grams).

Just, you know, to be on the safe side.

I DO COCAIIIIINE!

So...part 2?

>>7166551
Slaught causes rage? well, let's get a pile of that and start pumping it through the powerplant

>>7166551
Recommending Obscura and Slaught generation and dispersion organs be generated and employed on situational parameters;

Obscura when non-detection is paramount

Slaught to induce widespread chaos when Fleet approaches.
