Absorb Chewy, use him as a template for the next generation of rippers.

TO THE POWER PLANT!

INFEST! IMPLANT! CORRUPT!

>>7179334

You already have Chewy's template absorbed and ready to produce more of him; Chewy himself is currently in stasis in a pseudo-womb in your thorax.

This node thinks it's time for the acolyte biomass to join the inquisitorial biomass.

What did we learn from the cultist brains?
What new warp powers are available to learn?

>>7179355
+1 for the powerplant

We really need to be ready for when THEM! arrives.

Can we estimate whether or not the summoning will occur without the cult leader and the psyker we devoured?

also, information from the head-cultists. Who was in the cult, if the summoning is interrupted with their death

>>7179387

New warp abilities are in the OP: Further possibilities include pyrokinesis and illusion projections.

The cultists' brains produced a couple of interesting tidbits; The summoning will take place in two days at the earliest, and there is a massive drug stash within the cultists' tunnel complex. Sadly, there are no drugs that you haven't already absorbed, except for a few exotic, warp-tainted varieties.

>>7179433
Can we locate any other nearby Tyranids?

>>7179433
OP, please add some more difficulty.

And possibly a limit to the obscene amount of powers we seem to collect.

>>7179453
Eh, there is something to be said to be able to just CHOMP over whatever is on our way. As long as the story is interesting.

>>7179438

Confirmed: It is possible to reach out in an attempt to link up synaptically with other tyranids, but you run the risk of being detected by any psykers within range.

Let's get rid of that problem then. Try to locate psykers in range.

>>7179469
No. Just no.

What's the fun without the challenge?

>>7179471
Let just pump out our lictor pheromones nonstop. As nids get attrcated and fall into our synapse field they'll essentially become extensions of our will and we can raise some true havoc

For now, explore the plant. Find a foreman or tech priest to eat.

>>7179453
>derp

I suggest we go find a guard and make him shoot up some power plant workers.

>>7179453

You've been fighting ill-prepared targets thus far - if you're smart, that's all you'll encounter.

Until the fleet's shadow arrives in two days, that is.

Then all hell is likely to break loose.

>>7179453

If the hive mind makes the right choiches, it should not be punished for doing so.

NAMNAMNAMNAM DOOOOOOOM LICTOOOOOOOR

Confirmed: Infiltrate Power Plant.

Once more you scale the pipes pumping the filth into the plant, making your way into the plant's upper reaches. You can detect the masses of humanity toiling futilely below, watched over by armed foremen and the occassional servo-skull.

Take out the foremen. Silently.

Administer the eggs. Mind control. Make 'em go nuts. Blame chaos cultists. Win.

They've most likely never even heard of tyranids down here before, they'll never know what the eggs are than UNCLEAN HERETICAL FILTH

Yes, find ventilation sistem, also find eventual control room before drug.

>>7179531

Let's look for the largest concentration of agitated humans and sneak closer

Take out one isolated foreman via the ole Flesh hook into the faters trick. Eat his head to learn the plant layout and operations. Find out how to best overload it.

This hive recalls something about a waste tunnel?

also, remember about the acolytes. How long will it take for us to reach them? We want to be there at least 1 hour before the time arrives.

Awaiting Consensus: Meddle somehow with foremen, find control room, Find central ventilation system, or begin hunting factory workers?

>>7179608
Don't overload it now!

They'll repair it by the time the fleet arrives and then it'll be really well guarded!

>>7179611

From this location, assuming stealth protocols are observed, it should take approximately four hours to reach the rendezvous point.

Hive Node awakening.

Assessing situation.

Reccomendation: Infiltrate power plant. Take control. Create a localised comms blackout.

Well we should at least eat or foreman or tech priest to figure out how all this works.

We're at the plant for recon, right? Let's use some mind-fuckery to get the foreman to wander off alone somewhere and eat his brain for all the info we'll need.

take 2 hours to stalk a worker, and nom it as he is leaving his shift, in order to gain informations on power plant. Then go for the rendevouz.

>>7179639
Eat a guard.

Implant workers. Implant foremen. Let ripper loose in the waste mountains, looking for more biomass.

Fuck yeah, ROCK AND ROOOOLLLLLL

>>7179639
>>7179648

Confirmed: Isolate and absorb foreman.

How do you intend to go about doing this?

>>7179665
Flesh hooks.

Teeth.

Duh.

Mother of God. Allow me to say, I fucking want this Lictor in TT.

>>7179665
Command: Use telepathy to suggest he goes to an Isolated location.

>>7179665
Get him while he's on the shitter.

We still have some of the drugs that make people go crazy. Lets dump as much of it into the ducts as we can and try to cause a riot of some sort.

also: look for isolated place, without surveillance cameras. Look for a worker at the end of the shift, so that he will not be searched for when we are consuming him.

>>7179682

Urge him to go to the bathroom. Make him think he has the runs

>>7179682
>>7179684

Jedi wave: You've got to take a shit in the most isolated washroom in the facility.

>>7179691
Negative. We have two days to stay infiltrated, that stage should be left for later.

I like the idea of dumping drugs into the vent system and let everyone in the factory go nuts.

how comes there is something in me that says: synthetize spook, go to nunnery, fill nunnery with spook?

rolled 4, 6, 2 = 12

Save the Foreman's intestines so we can drop them on one of the workers after filling this place with CRAZY GAS.

>>7179682

Confirmed: Telepathically lure foreman to save place to consume.

You single out one foreman in particular, a fat, loud, brazen man, wielding what you are able to identify as a shotgun. You implant the suggestion in his mind that a human female of optimum breeding age is waiting for him in the upper, unobserved levels of the plant. He seems to accept this mental nudging without question, and enters a lift that will bring him up to the catwalks of the upper levels - your current abode.

>>7179736

Blast him with a concentrated dose of obscura as soon as he's in range, no need to make a mess...yet.

await just out of the lift, from above, fill him with obscura.

>>7179744
>>7179752

Confirmed: Obscura overdose.

As he emerges from the lift, you immediately blast him with a mist of aerosol-obscura; He silently falls to the ground, his weapon falling off the edge of the catwalk, towards the masses below.

>>7179773
See, if you followed with my plan, this shit wouldn't happen.

Jesus, now THIS is going to get ROCK AND ROLL! RIP AND TEAR!

>>7179736
Eat his brain, have a ripper puppeteer his corpse back down and then start shotgunning everything. When everybody flees, have the ripper explode out of his head so that it looks like the foreman used his last shell on himself.

>>7179773
FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFUCK.

Perhaps time to grab capt. Lard ass and move to another secluded location before someone comes to investigate.

rolled 5, 4, 6 = 15

>>7179773

>>7179773
Oh, to hell with the plan then. This node suggest that we should GET THIS CRRRAZY PARTY STARTED!

>>7179773
Activate Chameleon scales, jump after weapon and attempt to catch it. If unsuccessful then use flesh hooks to arrive back to the top level.

If successful, make no noise, if unsuccessful imitate human voice cursing.

YAY FINIALLY FOUND THIS THREAD. <3

>>7179792

Inquiry: Can we lift him? Is he too fat?

>>7179792
This, we mustn't blow our cover at this stage of the plan.

>>7179773

Shit. Don't eat his brain! Don't eat anything!

Throw him off the catwalk and bugger off, the people below will assume he OD'd and that'll be the end of it.

>>7179792
Floating shotgun. Great.

WAIT! HAVE IT SHOOT PEOPLE! YEAH! THEY'LL BLAME CHAOS!

>>7179801

Sounds better than to try to lift him. Its also riskyer.

use telekinesis on shotgun to prevent it from falling.

>>7179810
>>7179792

Confirmed: Shotgun is telekinetically pulled back up onto the catwalk.

Suggestion: Transport body to a secluded spot, to be absorbed at the collective's leisure.

>>7179814

Agree. For now just try to make it look like some accident.

Toss the fatguy off, then hide out somewhere else. People will chalk it up to him being large and unagile.

Grab with telekesis.

>>7179836

Retreat back to the vents we entered from and eat the body there. While eating, listen in on the humans below and confirm none saw the shotgun incident

>>7179836

This. Hopefully he is of some mild importance and will reveal helpful information.

rolled 6, 5, 1 = 12

>>7179850

>>7179845
This node seconds this. If they start searching for a body, our activities might get discovered.

Why are we afraid of these little faggots?

RIP AND TEAR! SPREAD TERROR! WE'RE A GOD DAMNED LICTOR! ROCK AND ROLL!

>>7179773
Telekinesis the shotgun back up.

Eat the foreman's brain.

Use the shotgun to blow his head off and then arrange things so it looks like he committed suicide.

>>7179850
>>7179864
>>7179868

Confirmed: Transport biomass back to point of entry and consume.

You lug the unconcious body back to the vent you entered through, and crack open his skull, quickly consuming his succulent brainmeats. You know have a semi-complete map of the plant, incorporating the control room, ventilation system, cafeterium, restrooms, and the foremen's break room.

>>7179850

Confirmed.

WHAT'S WITH ALL THIS SNEAKIN'?

JESUS CHRIST WE HAVE ALL THESE SUPERPOWERS AND WE'RE ONLY USING OUR MOUTHS AND MINDS.

PAH! WEAK!

>>7179908

Head to the control room, ramp up the vents and distribute slaught through the compound.

Then lol when everyone kills eachother.

>>7179908

Any idea of where the tech-adepts would be?

rolled 4, 1, 4 = 9

>>7179908
Does this include knowledge of how to easily make the entire plant explode?

I still like the "Spread drugs in vents= make factory go crazy" idea.

Then again it could draw suspicions of that the hell went on here.

because we are waiting for two days for the shadow to cover this world. then it will be all RIP AND TEAR.

>>7179908
Put rippers in the toilets. Have them extract TASTY BRAINMEATS when people enter the stalls, then use the plumbing to return EXTRACTED BRAINMEATS to us for consumption.

>>7179924

Too soon for that, we want the riot to coincide with the fleet's arrival for maximum effect.

>>7179944

Tech-adepts would be in the plant's control room. It's heavily guarded, however.

>>7179945

Dumping explosives into the plant's furnace might do the trick.

>>7179962

Requesting Confirmation: Mass-produce Rippers to infest toilets?

>>7179970

Do we know where any suitable explosives could be obtained?

rolled 4, 1, 6 = 11

>>7179970
I'm assuming this plant isn't absolutely vital. Did the foreman know how much damage it would cause if this plant went offline?

I think we need to re-evaluate our goals. DoomLictor is here to disrupt the leadership and defenses of the planet without drawing attention to the posibility of tyranid invasion.
We know how to disrupt the power in this sector but we need to find a way to throw the sector into anarchy before the invasion.

If we tip our hand too early before the astropaths are blocked by the Shadow In The Warp then they could potentially summon Astartes, Guard, or Inquisition forces.

Once the Shadow front hits, we cut loose.

>>7179978
THE TOILETS WILL FLOW...

WITH RIPPING DIARRHOEA

>>7179978

The idea pleases this node.

>>7179978
Sure, if another node agrees (I was the one who suggested the "infest the toilets" plan).

>>7180009
Overuled, we dont want people finding rippers and out of synapse they're just little goobers.

>>7179979

No ready-made explosives exist within the plant. However, people with the knowledge of how to create explosives from scratch may exist within the control center. Alternatively, spore mines might work as well, in sufficient numbers.

>>7179983

This plant is one of four that power the hive.

Save the ripper in toilet idea for a bit closer to the invasion. for now we must gather as much information as we can as quietly as possible.

>>7180026

Confirm Overruling.

>>7180026

Suggestion: Engineer rippers with miniature synaptic nodes, and leave rippers in Doom Lictor's path, resulting in a synaptic network of sorts.

>>7180003

no rippers in the toilets... YET. Soon enough... Soon Enough...

>>7179978

This, also, can we make give Chewy psyker powers somehow?

>>7179979

I believe we can spawn Spore Mines, so, maybe we could put that Ovipositor to work and spawn 400 of the little things to blow everything to hell.

Also, could we fill Spore Mines with Slaught, and place them all around the air ducts to trigger at will, in case things go south?

>>7180053

How long would these synaptic rippers survive on their own, using only enough energy to power their nodes?

Also: we have the map of the powerplant. We should go for the acolytes...

>>7180064
YES!

SPORE MINES! YES! DESTROY! KILL! LOVE! DEATH!

Command: Bring isolated, un-noticed personnel up to cat-walks with flesh-hooks. Adhesive. Ovipositor.

>>7180030
Do we know the locations of the other three power plants? Motion to bring them all down simultaneously, preferably after coming into contact with the genestealers in the upper hive and giving them what information we've got.

>>7180064

Rippers will only be able to maintain one psyker ability at a time; Synapse constitutes such an ability.

Slaught Spore Mines are eminently plausible.

>>7180068

Doom Lictor possesses sufficient biomass to create 50 synapse-rippers with energy reserves allowing them to be maintained up until the fleet arrives.

>>7180112
What would be the synapse range of the prospective rippers?

>>7180121

First ripper in a given location provides a 1-mile-radius node. Each additional ripper multiplies the radius by 1.5.

My oppinon:
Drugs in vents. Although we should wait closer for the invasion, but it would provide plenty of distraction as we pick off individuals. This is quite Risky.

Find acolytes and get rid of them. They could prove quite the pain if left unchecked. This could be risky.

Continue feeding for information till we get a full layout of property. Least risky.

>>7180132
Shit, we need to find an unnoticed hole somewhere and make a synaptic ripper nest, then.

>>7180112

Hell with Synapse, give the rippers Telekinesis, or Levitate.

When they feel the need, they could use their powers to lift themselves off the ground and fly toward their enemies!

>>7180132

How likely are they to be detected by psykers?

>>7180152

Single ripper: Chances are slight that they would register as anything more than a blip.

More rippers in one spot increases the risk of psyker detection.

God damn, OP.

This thread is so damned logical.

Why are we not creating massive killing sprees and sporemine-factories?

>>7180140
I say that having rippers dismantling people using the toilets from the inside and carting off their biomass via the plumbing would also be a good way of picking off the workforce.

>>7180183

The collective seems to prefer infiltration and sabotage at the moment. Once the oncoming fleet's shadow arrives, this node predicts substantially less subtle tactics.

>>7180183

Because we don't want them to know there's Tyranids on the planet and call in the Smurfs and Inquisition.

When the shadow falls in two days we can go fucking nuts, though.

Query: Recollecting back from the Inquisitor's mind, does anything register in terms of planetary defense besides PDF? Guard Regiments, any Chapter holdings?

Fun stuff, make a novel of it.

This node agrees with the placement of Slaught Mines placed in the vents, possibly chained through synapse to detonate simultaneously on command to act as a diversion if we are discovered.

Query: can we sense psykers in building (at least parts we have mapped out) or are they elsewhere?

rolled 4, 3, 4 = 11

>>7180198
Does the plant's plumbing link with the main hive's? Could we distribute rippers throughout the plant and the hive simultaneously?

Alright, to maximize our ability to destabilize this sector, this node feels we're going to need more bodies than just us.

Suggest we drop one Synripper for later and move on to the upper hive in order to eat some acolytes and link up with the active 'Stealer cult.

>>7180225

No substantial forces are nearby - This hive world is near the edge of imperial space, and is still being urbanized. However, a single five-man squad of Grey Knights are currently stationed on the Inquisitor's ship.

I imagine a Lictor with all these eager voices/ideas/plans in his head and acting accordingly.

>>7180259
So we lure them down and then implant them.

Or eat them.

Maybe send them cute plushies with rippers concealed inside, just waiting to fill their faces with alien wing-wong.

>>7180267
this made me lol considerably

>>7180237

No psykers are detected within the building.

>>7180248

The hive's sewage empties out into the massive dump surrounding the plant, as does the sewage from the plant itself.

>>7180254

Where would you like to stow the local synripper?

>>7180259
I don't think they'll be too big of a problem. It's hard enough to find a lictor on a battlefield. A hive has an infinite number of hiding places. Not to mention that GKs couldn't fit in a lot of places.

Also, I doubt they'd be ballsy enough to teleport, unless they had a beacon.

>>7180259

5 man GK does not worry me once the devouring comes.

rolled 1, 2, 6 = 9

>>7180272
Can rippers swim "against the current" into the hive's sewage system through this dump?

>>7180272

An addendum, leave the Synripper buried in the garbage near our entrance, and spawn and disperse in the ventilation as may slaught mines as possible in two hours.

>>7180295

Yes.

>>7180297

Confirmed: Synripper stowed in garbage near ventilation system. Two hours will allow for the production for 20 baseball-sized slaught-mines.

Query: Leave slaught-mines in central ventilation unit?

>>7180313
Y

Why does OP ignore me so?

>>7180313

The central ventilation unit would be optimum, confirmed.

>>7180297
Negative. Garbage is being used as fuel for power plant. We do not want the SynRipper to be incinerated and lose control of our lesser organisms.

Suggest you hide it where what the humans call the "shitter" ends in a sea of biomass, "the sewers"

@GK: but they have the Power of Plot with them!

We leave the synth-ripper inside the garbage, near the cultists. Then we go for the acolytes.

>>7180313

Yes.

>>7180332
>>7180330

Awaiting consensus on synripper placement.

rolled 1, 5, 6 = 12

>>7180313
Recommend distributing rippers through the sewer system to hibernate until triggered by command from us. We should mix enough syn-rippers in with the bunch to form a relay.

>>7180332
Confirmed. The acolytes may report to these Grey Knights which would be catastrophic to our mission.

>>7180254
This Hive agrees. It is time to establish contact with our little fat pink bretheren. Lets head for the upper hive, overse those Acolytes and sense for Genestealers with our synapse field.

yes, leave slaught-mines in ventilation system, as a backup measure. The cultists were idden in the garbage, we should imitate them.

>>7180330

They must have some sort of processing of that sewage, we also don't want to lose our Synripper to waste processors.

Let's use some bio-adhesive to glue him to the inside of a ventilation shaft instead.

Suggestion for the future: Slaught-Rippers.

>>7180367

Confirmed: Synripper placed a couple bends in the ventilation system away from the slaughtmine cluster, so as not to be destroyed in the blast.

>>7180380

Excellent.

Query: how long until the Inquisitorial Rendezvous?

>>7180384

Five hours. Estimated time to arrive at the site: Four hours.

Then Stealthly we go.

>>7180397

Let's get going then. Let's also not stop for snacks, delays could result in us missing the acolytes and everything going to shit.

>>7180404
>>7180410

Suggestion: Stash synrippers every mile or so along the route.

>>7180419
Confirmed. As long as we get there at least 0.5 hours before the acolytes. Doomlictor needs to be in position.

>>7180419
That's a good idea, sure... I didn't realize that it was many miles away.

Note to self: After we deal with the acolytes, we should move for the other power plants and rig them up with slaught mines as well. Then, we trigger all the slaught mines simultaneously- complete power loss to the hive and Tyranid victory.

TF2 update is live.

>>7180419

Confirmed.

Also, suggestion: When acolytes reveal themselves, gas with Obscura before attacking.

>>7180433
Aaaaand I'm gone.

>>7180426
>>7180431

Confirmed: Synrippers placed every mile, primarily in dark alleys and crevices in derelict buildings, then covered with bio-adhesive to hide them.

The acolytes are meeting the Inquisitor at a private residence in the upper hive, the area where the Ymgarl Genestealers are supposedly based. This residence belongs to one Gordon Ovre, a big-game hunter in the planet's jungles and Inquisitorial informant.

Do we know how many are expected, how many are already there?

I think we should take every precaution against those acolytes. You never know when one of them's got super senses, is a psyker (lolRavenor), or has a auto-targetting shoulder-mounted plasma cannon.

>>7180463

Probe the residence, how many inhabitants, how well armed, etc.

>>7180472

Three acolytes, one of which (Perkins) is a double-agent for the Slaaneshi Cult below the plant.

>>7180463
Requesting all available information on Gordon Ovre

find ventilation system of abitative hub, infiltrate home, wait lurking. Look out for possible alarms inside ventilation system.

>>7180487
You mean Perkins is posing as a cultist, but is really an ][ agent,
OR
You mean Perkins is posing as an ][ agent posing a cultist, but really does worship Slaanesh?

Also, how do we know this?
Is this all from the original bar ][?

>>7180487

They'll notice something is amiss soon, we gotta get moving.

Suggest spawning as many rippers as possible and spreading them through the ventilation, ready to burst out of any vents at a moment's notice.

I wonder, can you psychically project a memory of the Slaaneshi meeting between the cult leader and Perkins into the minds of the acolytes present? Assuming you could break whatever wards are present?

>>7180477

Ovre lives there alone, with a maid and a butler to help maintain the place. The meeting is set for a secret chamber behind a bookcase in the study.

There appears to be no way to enter the building without breaking something. However, a ripper may be able to infiltrate it through the small air ducts.

Where inside are they located?

>>7180511

We listened in on Perkins and the cult leader in their headquarters last night.

>>7180511

Perkins is a cultist posing as an inquisitorial agent; This much you know from devouring the cult leader's brain.

>>7180512
Suggest spawning as many SPORE MINES as possible and spreading them through the ventilation, ready to burst out of any vents at a moment's notice.
Possibly Slaught, since that'll make 'em more RIP'N'TEAR immediately so they won't just pick up a phone and fall asleep halfway through reporting our ass.

Back in a bit guys, need to eat.

>>7180538

Agreed, but we should also try out our localized shadow in the warp ability to ensure they can't get the word out.

Now that we are in the upper hive, can we detect any genestealers using our synapse node?

Lets save questions and talk strategy til Goblin gets back.

This hive suggests we listen in on the Acolytes to find out what they know before killing them. This daemon summoning may still interfere with our own plans for this place.

>>7180518
Infiltrate synripper and relay all information gathered by it to the hive for analysis.

>>7180582
addendum: while the synripper gathers information, doomlictor should seek out the Genestealers

>>7180596
Since when were Rippers this smart?
I swear they used to be ion the level of really damn hungry rats with no asshole - how do we expect a couple of the to cruise into the home of an Inquisitorial agent, find the meeting place, and somehow listen and relay?
Our Rippers are better than goddamn termagants. If we survive this and get re-absorbed, our splinter fleet is going to end the goddamn galaxy.

>>7180582
Seconded, also try manufacturing ObscuraRippers, in order for them to fall asleep, and let the rippers kill them while they are down. Also, learn position of the apartment through ripper, and position ourself as near as possible spatially, in order to use our Localized Shaodw in the Warp.

>>7180577
Agreed that we need to listen in; based upon their current impressions of the situation, we might want to let them go or might want to kill them. If they can become convinced that they have the cult problem under control up until our fleet's shadow takes the planet, that would be ideal.

That said, if they plan to call in backup, or to report that a major demon summoning is underway, they'll have to be silenced.


More broadly, I think we've got a couple objectives here. One, to bring down the hive's power and unleash as much tyranid hell as possible on them, using rippers and whatever else we can to tear things us. Two, to support the genestealer cult in whatever plans it has going, allowing them to act as a more standard rebellion and seize weaponry, communications, and the like so that the PDF units and governmental apparatus can't make use of them.

We have some solid plans in support of the first objective, but the second will require actually finding the cult and discovering what they're doing.

>>7180636

I think we should eliminate them while we have them all together. When the Inquisitor doesn't show, it's not likely they're going to move together while they search for clues to her whereabouts.

Ahem, we don't need to listen in, we can eat them and gain whatever they know.

Suggest gassing premises with heavy Obscura then nomming all residents. Then, proceed to hunt down genestealer cult whilst we're here.

>>7180740
Gaining whatever they know is nice, but having them actually send misinformation is better, as long as it's the right sort of misinformation. The purpose of listening in is mostly to determine if we can get lucky; if not then we still eat them all.

>>7180740

We should hit them with every drug we can make, we have the biomass for it and we want to be sure they're knocked off their asses.

Synapse Node reactivating.

Has the Hive come to a consensus on a course of action?

Suggesting Best COA: Obscura and nom, then hunt down Genestealers.

>>7180811

Confirmed, vent obscura, then send rippers to devour the helpless acolytes.

>>7180811
>>7180852

How do you propose to enter the dwelling without leaving visible marks of forced entry?

>>7180865

Through the plumbing, of course.

>>7180865

Query: Any sort of ventilation system on the outside of the residence? Any sort of roof access?

>>7180865

Is it possible to telekinetically open the doors, or are they some sort of electric/sliding, etc. door?

>>7180884

Yes, but nothing large enough for a Lictor. Rippers, on the other hand, could easily enter en masse.

>>7180885

The doors require a keycard. Telekinesis will not render them open without breaking them.

>>7180865
>>7180898

Then we will merely work through the ventilation system alone, using obscura and rippers through that.

>>7180898
Node would like to redirect you to logic process numbers: >>7180582 >>7180596

>>7180914

Suggestion: Rippers can be equipped with biomorphs that you already possess. Obscura-generating rippers, under the command of a synripper, might prove effective.

>>7180898

It occurs to me that many of the hive nodes are rather bloothirsty. We could simply melta the door down, hide nearby, and slaughter the acolytes when they come to investigate.

As a final resort, of course.

>>7180898

The only way I can see the door not being able to be opened with Telekinesis is if the lock is magnetic, otherwise there's always a physical locking mechanism we can trip to open the door.

I say we should make a suggestion to someone inside that they should open the door for us, a well endowed human female of optimum breeding age. Or male, if the person we're suggesting to is a female.

>>7180898
Call in with a pizza delivery.

Or better yet, provide a telepathic suggestion that someone inside call out for pizza. We then jack the pizza truck and the Deliverator and we let them open the door for our delicious pizza.

Except instead of pizza, it's ripper swarms and devouring of brainmeats.

>>7180949

If a woman comes to the door we need to put our ovipositor to use, it's exactly what she wants, after all.

>>7180954

This.

>>7180954

This is incredibly appealing. Also hilarious.

>>7180937
Command: Produce one ripper with Chameleonic Scales to infiltrate under the command of a synripper. Then wait above the room's door and wait.

>>7180949
>>7180972

Confirmed: Suggestion to maid that she open door.

You manages to lock in on the maid inside, and plant the suggestion that she open the front door. You can hear her approaching, and as she draws close, you descend to the front steps, visible only as a slight shimmer in the air. The door opens, and you wrap your tail around her body, covering her mouth with your ovipositor. You lift her slightly off the ground, so as not to arouse suspicion from passerby, and hurry in, the door automatically closing behind you.

Are the acolytes here yet? If not, do we know if they have access cards?

Could be a problem, that.

>>7181052

Acolytes are due in 50 minutes. They do not have their own card access.

>>7181033

Obscura gas the entire house and implant the maid. After a few moments to let the gas do it's thing proceed to clear building of any humans, prime targets acolytes, especially ones with re-breathers.

>>7181072

Ignore the acolyte command, then. Proceed to gas and clear structure, though.

>>7181033

Strangle her into unconsciousness and implant her

>>7181072
If the acolytes aren't here yet, we want to be waiting and not let them know that anything's wrong. Can we hide and use telepathy to, I don't know, wipe the maid's memory of the last few minutes?

...after implanting her?

>>7181084

Retract this ^

Confirm this v

>>7181094

>>7181033
Implant. Wipe her memory to provide another, more pleasant explanation for why she feels a distinct soreness about the genitalia and a certain degree of exhaustion.

Do the same thing after we obscura the acolytes into oblivion. Possibly plant memories of a daemonhost on top of their real memories of us but beneath their new fake memories of impromptu orgy.

>>7181074
>>7181083
>>7181084

You gas the maid with a quick blast of obscura, knocking her unconcious. As your ovipositor does its work, you proceed to begin pumping obscura throughout the house. You can smell a variety of non-human creatures in the domicile, but there are no signs of actual living organisms. A trophy room, perhaps?

>>7181122

May as well head there and consume, there should still be some genetic material to analyze.

>>7181094
Suggestion: consume biomass.

>>7181122
Dammit, we are being remarkably unsubtle here.

>>7181122

Sample delicious trophies, lie in wait for the acolytes.

>>7181145

We're goddamn Tyranids.

The Lictor will go and investigate the other biomass receptacles present.

>>7181164
So? Tyranids are known to conceal themselves for generations at a time while building up their strength.

>>7181175

But we're DOOMLICTOR!

>>7181132
>>7181152

Confirmed: Examine trophy room, sample interesting creatures, after inserting memories of "gentleman caller" into maid's mind.

As you enter the trophy room, you are confronted with a number of... Oddities. Archeotech, some dangerous Xenos lifeforms (All stuffed and mounted), and sprinkled throughout the collection, various Tyranid trophies - A warrior's head, a Lictor's mantid claw, a stuffed hormagaunt. Apparently Gordon's safari's have taken him off-world.

>>7181183

Anything useful to us?

>>7181195

Tyranids would be redundant, archeotech requires knowledge of use that you do not possess, and the of the xenos, the most promising is a scorpion the size of a large dog.

>>7181207

Nom away.

Incidentally, we seem to be autosaging.

>>7181183
I just had a brilliant idea.

We hit the kitchens and take over as chef, after we implant and mindfuck the other people in the building. When refreshments are ordered for the inquisitorial party, we make sure to include implant spores in all of the food and drink. They eat, we wait a day or two, and they've all been implanted without us having to risk running straight into the Inquisitor.

>>7181207


Om nom scorpion thingy

>>7181218

Disregard that last part, I'm a giant faggot.

>>7181219

We already ate the Inquisitor, we're just tying up loose ends here.

>>7181207
Take the archeotech anyway; even if we can't find any brainmeats with the necessary info, the hive fleet might have that data somewhere in its own memories.

Also, we can make some expendable rippers to figure them out by trial-and-error.

>>7181219

The Inquisitor is dead, Jim.

>>7181175

We're only concealing ourselves for 5 more days, and the last 3 are almost optional.

The Lictor unit will nibble on the trophies that have any viable genetic material left behind and have not already been inventoried, including the scorpion.

>>7181219
I think that the only one in the building aside from us is the maid. Also, I'm not sure that we have the telepathic control to pull that off. Or the correct appendages.

>>7181241
>>7181244

We did?

Well, shit. I feel stupid.

I still like my plan, though, if only because I find the idea of a Lictor in an apron and chef's hat producing culinary delicacies to be hilarious.

>>7181221

Scorpion consumed: Genetic data for toxin sacs absorbed.

>>7181219

This is brilliant, but we can't wait days, so this won't work. I say we wake up the Maid and somehow make her accept us as her master, then have her maneuver the acolytes into a favorable position for us.

>>7181243

Store archeotech in an internal pouch; Require confirmation.

>>7181243
If we take items from the collection and the acolytes have seen it before, it might tip them off.

>>7181258

Start developing them ASAP. How long will it take for them to develop?

>>7181270

This, along with developing the toxin.

>>7181274

Estimated completion time: 30 minutes.
Estimated acolyte arrival time: 45 minutes.

>>7181270

Confirm

>>7181258
We may as well eat the other biological trophies too. We might find something vaguely useful, and the biomass is always nice.

Plus the other Nids. If we can extract any of their memories by consuming them we can put some bit of them back into the service of the hive.

>>7181272
The acolytes are leaving this building either implanted or dead.

They aren't going to be given enough time to realize something is wrong.

>>7181301
Fine, then. Although if there's a psyker with their group, they might sense us right off; we've got quite the Warp presence at this point.

>>7181285
>>7181288

Confirmed: Stuffing portable archeotech into Chewy's stasis-womb. Items include Power Glove, some mysterious, green-metal cylindrical device, and a nasty-looking spidery trinket.

>>7181290

I say we should hold off on eating all the trophies, the maid would notice if all the trophies suddenly disappeared. Instead, let's camo and hide in the trophy room.

>>7181301
Agreed. They must be incapacitated before the Grey Knights in orbit are alerted to trouble.

>>7181307

What kind of Toxin are we talking about here? Just poison? Or we could spray it and it would eat people like acid Toxin

>>7181312

Confirmed: Lie in wait in trophy room. Do you wish to produce any rippers during this time?

>>7181287
Command: This node wishes to query from biomass designation M a i d where current location of Tyranid Killer is, as this biomass presents the most clear and present threat, and to assimilate his thoughts as soon as possible. This hive node advises that a forewarned enemy is a forearmed enemy. We must be better than previous designation: L i c t o r T r o p h y .

>>7181325

Injectable and aerosol forms are both possibilities.

>>7181325
We already have Bioplasma to perform that function.

>>7181327
Negative. Lie low and wait at this point.

>>7181327
Yes. As many as we can; make them camo-rippers.

>>7181307
>green-metal cylindrical device

>>7181327

How many can we produce while also developing toxin sacs?

Alright, NOW we are autosaging.

Can someone do me a favor, archive the thread and toss me a link?

Find Van Zam and kill that motherfucker before he guts us like the hormagaunt and other lictor.

>>7181357

Second the camo-ripper idea
