Vote keep Chewycron, do not Necronise ourself.

Conserve beast-thing known as Rippy for later ingestion to gather the knowledge of the artifact.

Such creature proves much useful to bug-things yes-yes?

This node proposes that Chewie noms the crontech, then transmits specs to main hive. Then we keep him as killbot.
Also: grow a weapon biomorph based on the Dark Eldar device.

Query: Which power plants do we have yet to visit, and where are they relative to our current location?

Consume Chewie in order to learn how to produce living metal.

>>7195378

Sludge-plant: Several miles down, at the hive's lowest level.

Wind-plant: Top of the hive.

Each is a good 20 miles away.

>>7195370
This. Do not consume nor upgrade Chewy too much after doing it. Instead, make him nom the powerfist.

>>7195391

Can we safely assume the sludge plant will be disrupted sufficiently by the destruction of the dam?

I say we nom us some Nurgle cultists.

>>7195391
Query: Which plant is to be destroyed by the dam's flooding? I believe you said one would be flooded by collateral. Which means we have a day to rig the final plant.

>>7195405

I like this. Perhaps when nomming the power fist he can give himself a power field.

>>7195410

Blowing the dam will effectively shut down the sludge-plant, yes.

>>7195405

Requesting Confirmation: Have Chewycron devour powerfist?

>>7195414
Tzeentch would be better. We can make drugs just fine. Toxins, too. Additional Warp powers could prove invaluable in sabotaging the wind plant, however.

>>7195427

Confirmed

>>7195434
Error: This means yet another distraction, we cannot afford to waste time.

Query: what data is available on the wind plant?

>>7195434
Agreement.

DO NOT consume chewie, he is a useful tool for now, no more.

>>7195440

You reach into your archeotech pouch and toss the little guy the fist, which he happily noms upon.

Chewy gained new ability: Generate Power Field.

>>7195427
'firmed

>>7195427

Confirm.

>>7195434
Besides, Tzeentch is available immediately.
QUERY: Is chewycron resistant to psyker powers aside from synapse?

>>7195434
Do we really want to fight psykers just yet?

We can learn to better conceal ourselves in the nurgle place. Toxic clouds clouding visions. Poison fogs fogging eyes.

Chewy has me wondering, what would a Trycron, or Cronifex, be like?

>>7195446

Wind plant: Staffed by the children of several of the hive's nobles, it's seen as -the- place to work at, given that all you really have to do is keep on the lookout for storms which might damage the machinery.

Also, the hive's Khornate cult is based in the plant.

>>7195451

Query: How much can he ramp up the power field and what effect will it have.

>>7195457
I see where you are going with this. This could work to our favour.

Although considering our attack on the Slaaneshi cult was almost catastrophic, this node does not advise tampering with the other cults, when the Grey Knights are bringing the smackdown on them anyway.

>>7195460
We can make both of those with our current configuration. Tzeentch covens typically have one psyker, serving as leader, no more. We can take that, especially with our shadow in the warp.

>>7195457

Suggestion: Try to blast Chewycron with warp energy, observe results.

>>7195434

We barely managed to kill a Slaaneshi psyker and her leader, I don't think we should try rushing headfirst into a whole cult full of sorcerors.

Powers from Nurgal may be more useful.

I am wary of Tzeentch followers, want to be sure we can handle their threat.

>>7195488
Agreed. Zap Chewy with weak mind blast.

>>7195463
A big giveaway.

>>7195474
Confirm: Khornate Cult is INSIDE the plant? What is the probablity of sabotaging the plant while avoiding detection?

>>7195488

Do it. Start with a minor blast, there's psykers nearby, don't wanna draw attention to ourselves.

>>7195476

Power Field specs: Able to be extended to a radius of three feet around Chewy, it will obliterate any machinery instantly, and severely damage anything else.

Hypothesis: If Chewy grows in size, he may be able to project the field farther out around himself.

Nurgle would be a very hazardous situation upon Biological makeup.

Avoid Chaos cultists, experiment more with Chewy.

>>7195510

Query: No need for direct contact?

>>7195510

Hypothesis noted, but I feel we should keep him small and portable.

I believe destroying the dam would be more helpful to our overall goal if it could take out two factory's.

What is the human saying, "Kill two flying sky creatures with one rock"?

We will need to have something to pass blame on if we decide to do this.

>>7195512
Agreed. If Chewie proves warp resistant, consider munching tzeentchians.

>>7195500

Most of the plant's staff consists of Khornate cultists. Somewhere in the plant, they hold their bloody arena matches. Due to being the children of nobility, they are able to fend off inspectors easily.

Confirmed: Blast Chewy with small warp shock.

Concentrating, you focus a blast at the small ripper. An orb of energy, incandescent with color, slams into him. When the smoke clears, Chewy sits at the bottom of a small crater, seemingly unharmed.

>>7195516
Agreed.
Though not so much portable as easily concealable - as in, hide him in a nook next to the generator in the dam.

>>7195518
Frenzon will assure that there is no time for blame giving.

We now have the Trash Plant rigged with spore mines and the Water plant ready to be destroyed by Chewy, the collateral damage of which will destroy the sludge plant. I suggest we move to set up the wind plant for destruction. Then when the shadow hits we can execute our plant and then use more overt tactics.

>>7195547

Like doing copious amounts of cocaine on the remains of humans. Then devouring their coke stained biomass.

>>7195536
Discuss possibility of using frenzon gas to provoke a massacre insisde the plant.
Zap chewycron with a more focused blast, enough to kill a human.

>>7195547

Agreed. Munching on more psykers is a tempting idea, but it's hazardous and time-consuming, and we need to focus on our primary mission.

Let's delay eating them until after we blow the plants at least, the chaos will affect them as well as the rest of the city.

>>7195568
I don't know man, starting a massacre with a bunch of Khornate cultists sounds pretty sketchy.

How much do we know of this wind plant?

I would also would like to come up with a "plan B" for the sludge plant. If the water plant doesn't destroy it I don't want to have to make up something in the spot.

>>7195562
If that is the consensus, indeed.

Or planting more Rippernests to produce synrippers to flood the city.

Confirm: How many other lictors are present on the planet? 2?

>>7195568

Second blast results: Several limbs severed, but quickly reattach themselves.

>>7195601

We've been out of contact since planetfall, so it's unknown.

>>7195601

At least two other Lictors made planetfall: Whether or not they are within the city, or are pursuing objectives elsewhere, remains unknown.

>>7195595
If it doesn't work then 3 plants destroyed is enough to ensure that enough chaos would ensue to distract the planet, then we can waltz over to an undefended objective and piss acid on the generator.

>>7195593
Suggestion: Followers of Khorne are ignorant to the powers of the warp. Perhaps telepathy will ensure our objective is reached

Alternate suggestion: Use Genestealer cult to call the children of the aristocracy back home.

>>7195603
Refrain from attacking cultists.
Proposition: use frenzon gas combined with telekinesis to start infighting inside the plant, then sabotage.

>>7195634

Even better: use our telepathy to mock them and incite a furor, but make them think it's the Tzeenchians doing the mocking.

The Khornates go and bust up the Tzeentchians shit, we have a much easier time around the wind plant, and we can feast on the spoils of battle after they fight.

>>7195654
Seconded.

>>7195654

In addition, let's gas them with frenzon to ensure they get worked up.

>>7195654
Consensus given.

Let it be known that DOOMLICTOR is the BBEG of my next DH gig. NANANANANANA

I am liking the general chaos idea. Playing the easily angered Khornates against the other cults.

>>7195671

I'm ok with this.

Maybe the Genestealers already hae people in the plant?
The Patriarch did say that they were running road around the upper hive.

>>7195654
>>7195659
>>7195671

Reminder: Wind-plant is at the top of the hive, water-plant is at the lower spectrum of the middle. Twenty miles seperate the two.

>>7195654
>>7195676
Agreed

>>7195654

Since Khornates have no psykers of their own, we can use a bit more juice than we have been so far.

In addition to mocking them, let's ambush a few members and make it look like a Tzeetchian attack.

We're almost guaranteed a mob of screaming lunatics this way.

Consensus: Make way to wind-plant, incite khorne-worshippers against Tzeentchians, then sabotage wind-plant as staff dwindles?

>>7195695

We'll deal that when the time comes. I think we should be able to convince him that the few lost from his brood are worth advancing the goals of the fleet at large.

>>7195733

Confirmed.

This is gonna be awesome.

>>7195746

Do you wish to leave Chewy at the water-plant to oversee operations there and act as a synapse conduit, or bring him along?

>>7195760
Leave him, assuming all goes to plan, we won't need a little tin torture device.

>>7195760
Leave Chewy in charge of the dam. Instruct him to shoot deserters.

>>7195760
Command: Leave Chewy at the plant.

Query, would it be possible to contact the Patriarch via the Synaptic web like a relay.?

>>7195760

Leave him, he's our key to blowing the dam, right?

>>7195826

Confirmed: Leave Chewy to manage water-plant operations, specifically drugrippers and rippernest.

Confirmed: Genestealer Patriarch can be contacted via synripper network.

>>7195838

Tell him to pull his brood out of there, no need to waste perfectly good hybrids in a cult fight.

>>7195838

Ask him for any info he can provide on the wind plant. Even a general layout would be helpful.

>>7195863

As you communicate your message to him, he begins to respond, but the synaptic link is suddenly interrupted - Your vision is filled with a burning =][= symbol, as a booming voice echoes in your head.

<We know what you are, and we know where you are, Xenos abomination. Your death is inevitable and imminent.>

>>7195913
Oh shit we fucked up oh shit

>>7195913

...

Fuck.

Obveration: The Blue Bird cultists are warpers. Chewie seems to be pretty unphased by Warp Powers. Suggestion: Sick Chewie on Blue Bird Cultists.

Obvervation: Shadow of The Warp will arrive in a day. Obvervation: Power Plant should be filled with technology. Suggestion: When Shadow Arrives, have Chewie devower the power plant.

>>7195913


I think we have to put all our plans into motion now, before the Inquisition ruins it all. Killing three plants ahead of schedule is better than killing none because we got killed before we could give the signal to go.

Send out he signal for the Slaught mines in the trash plant to blow, send Chewy into the dam to blow it up.

>>7195913
Execute destruction of all available power plants. We have beeen found, we must execute all plants immediately.

Detonate spore mines, break the dam, and attempt to create localised shadows.

>>7195913
Observation: Fuck. Suggestion: Fuck.

Blow the shit up, fucking do it. They're on to us man.

>>7195983
>>7195991

Confirm: Destroy two accessible plants now?

Game just entered hardmode gents, I hope you're all prepared.

I think we also warn the Patriarch of what's about to go down. The Inquisition likely already knows we were trying to contact other 'Nids, and the more people they have fighting him and his brood, the fewer are out hunting for us.

Frankly, though, I think we can call it fission mailed at this point, they're going to get the call for help out now that we've been caught.

>>7196009

Blow 'em.

>>7196009
Confirmed.

Utilise synaptic web to create a surge of psychic energy, scream at the patriarch to get the fuck into action.

Hopefully the Lictors will do this too.

Blow shit up and get Chewy back to us. This just got intense.

>>7196009
Confirm. Suggest getting that Nurgle cult between us and pursuit?

Observation: Inquisition just kicked in, ja.
Conclusion: Grey Knights are backed up by a radical Ordo Xenos inquisitor.

>>7196020
But help won't arrive by the time the fleet arrives anyway, and our current situation has brought resistance ready to fight the fleet to a near neglicable level.

Remember this is a fringe world, there won't be too many reinforcements able to help.

Query: What is the status of the implanted humans back at the bar?

Also, what are our prospects for developing more complex tyranid organisms such as gargoyles?

>>7196022

Confirmed: Activate mines at trash-plant, have Chewy blow water-plant.

The mines have been detonated: You'll have to wait to see what the effects are. However, you're able to watch as Chewy quickly enters the water-plant, searching for the generators.

Suggestion: Get mobile NOW. Grey Knights purport to know Doomlictor's current location - This may or may not be due to the activation of the synaptic net. Chance exists that GK's will not be able to track you, so long as you keep from using warp-based abilities.

>>7196020

Oh ye of little faith.

This is why we needed to be stealthy, now we might be boned.

Destroy factory's.

Do we know if they found the genestealer cult? We should take precautions not to expose them to the psycers vision.

>>7196045
Query: How do you propose we do that?
>>7196066
Negative. Inquisitor has been disposed of already.

Query: If it is theoretically possible for Chewy to reach Lictor size, how many purestrain genestealer skeleton shape necrodermis creatures could we form, provided we use all necrodermis at hand?

>>7196071

I had forgotten that, thank you.

Anyways, I think we need to enter stealth mode here, and that means disabling/removing our synapse node. They're obviously tracking us through our psychic signature, and I don't know if a localized shadow will be enough to hide us from them.

>>7196027

Requesting Confirmation: Update Patriarch with Grey Knight activity status.

>>7196071

You can, given enough time, generate up to two gargoyle-sized organisms. Alternatively, flying rippers with Bio-Plasma.

Or Flying Rippercrons, just to confuse them.

>>7196089
Command, execute all orders given at logic process number >>7196027 and then flee.

Reminder: We have combat potential at hand that matches, or even outstrips five Grey Knights, provided they work at tabletop level. At fluff marine level, we're in OH SHIT mode.

>>7196128

Let's spawn flying synrippers, set them to scatter, shadow ourself and flee like scared little french girls.

>>7196148
I think we're in a laughable mockery of fluff level at the mo' but I personally want to avoid Grey Knights at all costs.

>>7196148

Seeing as this isn't the tabletop game we're playing here, I'm assuming they're fluff marines.

Shit just got real, son.

>>7196110

Confirmation: Any metals absorbed can be converted into Necrodermis by Chewy, who can then utilize it to create Stealercrons. Given that you're in a hive city, metal should not be hard to find.

Re: Bar cult: They are out of synaptic range. Whatever the status is, you'll have to get back to the Broken Faceplate to check.

We need to confirm that the two factory have been at least disabled.
-Sub objective make sure we don't lose chewie, we don't want him to be found.

Next stealth and hide until we know they have lost our trail.

Next: Proceed to drug/spread chaos. If we make enough riots and uprisings hopefully GK's will focus less on us.

>>7196089
>>7196089
>>7196089
>>7196089

REMEMBER WHAT I SAID ABOUT CAUSING PSYKERS TO GO INSANE? NOW WOULD BE A GOOD TIME TO USE IT. BEFORE AS WE START HAULING ASS AWAY FROM THE GK, SEND EVERY HORRIFYING IMAGE AND NIGHTMARISH THING WE CAN THINK OF TO EVERY PSYKER IN RANGE AND HOPE SOME GO BERSERK.

Also, caps lock, because this is a FUCKING SERIOUS situation.

>>7196089
Request: Have Chewie eat everything. Anything metal/technological is feeding the great (Metal) devower.

>>7196180
Enter stealth mode, spray frenzon on the way to the broken faceplate. Bring Chewy alone for protection and so the grey Knights don't get their hands on him.

Proposal: Create warp beacon organism, designed to lure in the Grey Knights by emitting a hyper-strength psychic Frenzy signal at human mind wavelengths. Send it down into the Khornate arena, activate at full strength. Have Chewy blow up the dam when the Grey Knights are in. Two birds, one stone.

>>7196216

The Khornates are at the wind plant, 20 miles away from us

>>7196189

Could be a good idea...but would that make us easier to locate? Maybe the GKs only have a rough fix on our position; a psychic usage at this level could pinpoint us.

>>7196189

This, then bolt ASA FUCKING P.

As you ponder your next course of action, unsure of whether to utilize the combined power of your synaptic net to fry some local psykers' brains, you see an explosion below, as the dam collapses. A small speck of something green-black goes flying up in the air from the blast, then begins flying towards you.

>>7196225
Shit.
Change of plan: Plant a warp beacon at the dam, emitting signals reminescent of a Greater Daemon. Have Chewy blow it up when the GKs arrive.

>>7196235

Give it a hug!

>>7196235
Request confirmation: Does Chewy respond? I repeat: Does Chewy still respond to the synaptic link?

>>7196235

Shit out some winged synrippers and have them scatter across the hive. Stick Chewy back in our sac for safekeeping, shadow ourself and make our way back to the Broken Faceplate.

>>7196253
Agreed.

>>7196235

Wail on guitar.

>>7196259

Confirmation: It's Chewy, and he is in fact still under your control.

Somehow, he grew his own wings. Must've been something he ate.

>>7196235

Fry psyker brains, telekinesis Chewy to float nearby you (and potentially to throw at the face of any GKs, he's good at that, you know), run like hell.

>>7196274
I FEEL THE WARP OVERTAKING ME

Tighten link to Chewy. My lictor sense tingles.

Stealth mode out, strictly stealth mode. Head for a shady spot, no drugs or snacks or drop offs along the way. We've probably made our chaos, Tzeentchian sorcerers are probably agitated. Suggest against return to Broken Faceplate as cult may be making its own noise.

>>7196292

Confirmed: Keep Chewy nearby, so as to avoid him breaking free of synaptic control - Autonomous Nidcrons, while a potentially useful distraction, are more useful when under the Hive Mind's direct control than they are going rogue.

>>7196312

Let's stealth up. Drop a localized shadow of the warp on ourselves and head to the Broken Faceplate.

Retrieve Chewy, get out of harms way hopefully stealthily.

The idea of luring GK's to harms way (Cult or wave) sounds good, but I am unsure if we can do that.

>>7196340

Confirmed: Stealth protocols activated, Chewy is flying alongside you as you head with all speed back towards the underhive slums.

Suggestion: When in a secure hideout, have Chewy devour the remaining necrodermis and grow to the appropriate size, then split him into smaller combat-capable units. Investigate phase capabilities of the necrodermis. Might be nice to have flying rippercrons that phase through walls and shit.

>>7196364

How long until the fleet comes?

Nuke psykers, run like hell, >>7196340 Drop shadow of the warp.

>>7196375

Fleet arrives in: 3.5 days.
Global Shadow in the Warp's Effects felt in: 12 hours.

>>7196382

Awesome.

So what are our plans at this point? After we lay low, how are we going to serve the fleet? I suggest we take another shot at the wind plant once the opportunity arises.

>>7196382
Is this the only hive/concentration of significant intelligent biomass on the planet, or are there others?

>>7196410

Confirmed: This hive houses 80% of the planet's human population.

>>7196402
With three plants either down or soon to be down, I think we can trust the patriarch and his cult to catch on to our plan and handle the upper hive. He said that the nobility is heavily infiltrated; he should be able to either take out the wind plant or judge it more beneficial not to, based upon his information- which is better than we've got.

There have got to be any number of other targets of opportunity in the lower hive that we could move against. Any suggestions?

>>7196442

Good point. In that case, I suggest we start slaughtering the huddled masses. Sow more terror, cause more discord, and it'll tie up the authorities even more.

>>7196442
Suggestion: Implant as many cvilians as possible. Create an army of implanted human gangers purely as cannon fodder.

Avoid use of all warp powers for the time being.

>>7196442

Underhive is about to be drowned, so you may want to focus on the middle hive, whose targets include:

- Arbites HQ
- Tubetrain main station
- Food production facilities
- Weapon-producing factories

If you're feeling adventurous, you could even make for the upper hive, and try to fuck with whatever military forces are there (GK/=][= Battle-barge, for instance.)

>>7196442
Dedicate time and resources to spread the infection. Facehugger style one-shot ovipositors all over the place, stealthily spreading without a clear point of origin. Obscure their ways. In the meantime, make Chewy a full scale combat monster.

Suggestion: Create a diversion. The shadow descends in 12 hours and he GK are on to us. With three plants down and the primary (only?) supply of water flooding the lower hive, soon to be doped up, I say we try and tye the GK up till the shadow descends,

After covering our trail, we need to see about creating some disorder to drag authority attention away from us.

I suggest drug crazing groups to riot, If we can spark a battle we may be able to grow it into a a small civil war.

>>7196477

Suggestion: Feral, flying rippers with bioplasma may provide a useful distraction. Alternatively, packs of flying bioplasma rippers with a single flying synripper keeping them under control.

>>7196477
Agreed.

>>7196473
Suggestion: Infiltrate food production and transit facilities.

Food production facility: spray food stores with frenzon

Transit facility: Nesting ground.

Secondary: Sabotage weapons facilities, or arm implanted humans with weapons.

Clarification: by tie up I do not mean engage. command individual ripper nodes to ping loudly and give the GK something to chase.

>>7196503

Let's do feral rippers so they can't trace our psychic signature

I'm thinking that first we make sure that the other power plant is down, then we head for the Arbites HQ. They're the ones who will be trying to coordinate and keep order; we can't let that happen.

>>7196503
Can we produce the necessary rippers and carry them with us while doing other tasks, then release them in packs when we have six or seven?

>>7196503

I STILL SAY MASS PSYKER NUKE...

Or better yet, Pskyer Rippers left to do it for you, with implanted memories, like a recording, to bombard the Psykers with.

>>7196473

Do we have any additional information on:
- Food production facilities
- Weapon-producing factories

Taking out food and weapons will lead to less resistance when the fleet arrives.

>>7196525

Confirmation required: Start spawning flying, bioplasma rippers on the run to be sent out into the hive at large to sow confusion and panic?

I vote we gas the central tube station - ensuing riots bring much of the midhive to a standstill, and give us cover to escape.

There's no point starving them when we're about to absolutely murder them in a few days, and there'll be barely any time to produce new weapons once they realise what's about to happen.
Arbites are insufficient to put down a whole hive revolting.

>>7196538

Yes.

>>7196543

Food production facilities are minimum security, weapons factory is staffed primarily with Arbites.

>>7196546

Let's start spawning them, but wait until we have a half dozen to release at once

>>7196543
If we can stealth-capture Arbites HQ, then start infecting the Arbites command as quickly as possible... we could give all sorts of orders which would result in those facilities being made available.

The Grey Knights might prove an obstacle to this, I admit.

>>7196538
Error: The Arbites are too big to tackle, let the populace tie them up, we do not want one side to have too big an advantage.

>>7196525
Query: is the synaptic web still active? Suggest to keep it active to keep them all in concert together, but do not communicate with it yourself. That way doomlictor will be the only organism that ISNT pinging.

Transit facility: spray with frenzon. Not only will it have a more immediate effect, but it can be spread Throughout the hive.

>>7196557
Extended suggestion: Produce spore mine-like creatures filled with frenzon gas, release them into grand central's air ducts, remotely detonate. We don't need to be there when the feces hits the rotary air conditioning implement.

>>7196603

Confirmed: Web is still active. Grey Knights are presumably too busy trying to locate Doomlictor to waste their time eliminating individual hidden synrippers.

>>196604
>>7196608

Agreed. After frenzy from transports, we can infiltrate the weapons and food facility and sabotage them as the GK will turn attention to the riots that would be sure to come.

>>7196608

Yes, Spore Mines are good ideas, as is Psyker Nuking rippers.

>>7196618

Are we at the Faceplate yet?

>>7196629
Backing these ideas also. Produce spore mines and rippers with telepathy instead of bioplasma.

>>7196630

ETA: Ten minutes. When you arrive, you will have generated a dozen flying bioplasma rippers.

>>7196651
Might make them powerful enough to influence the local populace with subconscious unrest. Make them imitate lictor mind patterns, to keep the Grey Knights busy.

>>7196655

We don't want to release them here, that'd just tell the authorities where we are. Suggest taking a detour and releasing them at least a half mile away from and several stories above the Faceplate.

>>7196651

Telepathy rippers instead of min-goyles? Done.

You've arrived at the Faceplate, and are able to gain entry via the same duct that you used last time. It seems smaller now - Ah, how you've grown over the past few days. The Norn Queens would be proud.

>>7196679
Lifeforms inside?

Hard mode. Fucking win.

>>7196697

Confirmed: As you send the dozen telerippers out into the hive at large to generate a mass of false pings for the Grey Knights, you are able to tell that your hybrid brood has completed gestation.

>>7196679
Anything to make mommy proud!

How are our pets coming along in the Broken Faceplate?

>>7196628

I also agree

Would it be possible to flood transit with drugs?

>>7196708
Is power on in this region of the hive? Actually, where if anywhere has power already gone out? Is there panic and such that we can pick up telepathically?

>>7196708

Let's go in and greet the kids.

>>7196729
Nah they're doing what I do when there's a cut

"WHERE'S THE FUCKING FLASHLIGHT, THAT'S THE THIRD TIME THIS WEEK!"

>>7196729

Negative. The trash-plant seems to be offline, and with it, all the power in the slums.

>>7196737
Hmm.
I think we're about ready to start a riot.
What can we do in terms of altering our brood biologically?

Can we do more drugs?

I know dick about 40k and tyranids.

But can we produce some mini bugs, like these rippers, but instead of having a weapon, they're basically mobile egg sacs? Like the facehuggers from Alien, except they can inject more than a single egg each. Idealy, they'd move in the shadows, attach unsuspecting individuals, lay an egg inside of them, and then moving on to do it again.

It could raise us a substantial force in a short time period.

>>7196756
COCAIIIIINE, I say.

>>7196746

Failing this, we can at least give them all combat stimms and the like from the storage room in the back and send them off to cause some real mayhem.

>>7196766
There was some kinda mind control insect in the 40k TCG I think, not too sure about that. It's all up to the OP though. Considering he's bastardised the fluff beyond all recognition there's not much you can't do

>>7196803
I'm thinking we're about due to start bring light to the masses, and by light I mean heat, and by heat I mean FIRE.

About the time the warp shadow occurs, we should get the psi-rippers to start chewing up conduits and power lines and anything else they can use to set stuff alight.

>>7196831

Or we could start pooping out bio-plasma rippers and send them out to start some fires.

>>7196746

The only really useful thing you can do with them is spawn some parasites that can merge with them, forming primitive weapon symbiotes/biomorphs.

That takes time, though.

>>7196766

Breeder-Rippers? Confirmed, you can start generating rippers able to implant hosts with ripper eggs.

>>7196745
If all power is off... what's the mood that we can pick up from the slum populace like? How difficult would it be to incite rioting?

>>7196856

Oh Jebus, multiple rippers chewing their way out of people's chests? Do it. Do it now!

>>7196746

You know what would make things interesting?

Use the Necron device on ALL of our damn brood, stick a few rippers around to keep control over them, then ping the fuck out of the GK and run like hell.

LET'S SEE HOW 4 GREY KNIGHTS DEAL WITH A BAR FULL OF CRONSTEALERS!

>>7196831
Error: If there is no power, there won't be a source of ignition from the power cords

>>7196859

Based on what you overheard on the way here, anger and withdrawal from the lack of drugs flowing, increasing panic from the rumors of a slaughter at the plant and blackout that followed, and fear due to several kidnappings.

>>7196888
Let's not. That device is too dangerous and earmarked for destruction. Besides, we don't know enough about it to use it extensively- if one ripper with its abilities is this dangerous, if we make a whole brood and they break loose of our control, what the hell will happen?

>>7196912

Let's also not forget that two of our brood are Ogryns. If we tin them and lose control, it's pretty much game over.

>>7196912
Final Destination

>>7196907
Query: Are the Hybrids at the pub ready for combat?

>>7196907
Very, very good. how about sending the brood out to spread word the Omnimessiah is testing the Emperor's faithful, that their fleshy presence offends It and there will be no power or heat until they show their devotion to the True Power of the Imperium?
(IE, start some shit between the AdMech and the Priests!)

>>7196892
*palms mandible* Oh. Right.

>>7196942

Confirmed: Hybrids in the pub are combat-ready, to the extent that claws and teeth constitute "ready".

>>7196933
Idea: No, let's Cron those two. In terms of personal firepower they'd be staggering. If they go rogue, it's of little consequence because there's just the two of them. They can go berzerk, but I think they'll stay controllable like Chewy.
And they can wreck the GK's. They are our brute force trump card, this one time I support spreading the abomination!

>>7196947
A little more discord can never go amiss.

>>7196982

Fine, but let's be in a safe place, command a hybrid to use the device for us, and observe the effects on one Ogryn before we try it on the other.

>>7196982
Agreed - so long as there is confirmation that the necrodermis is consumable

>>7196982
>>7197017
>>7197008

For the record: Chewy absorbed the device when he used it.

That said, he can spray necrodermis from his mouth onto any given target to achieve the same effect.

>>7196987
There also might be merit in having the Brood, as they go about spreading our message, be shadowed by a pair of Bio-skyrippers as fire support. The Arbites will invietably arrive to start riot suppresion, and we will great them with burning death.
Arbites officers and command staff may present themselves as targets of oppurtunity.

>>7197008

Denied. This Necron/biomorph is unknown and possibly unstable, we have no idea of if it can spread too fast and become a problem.
Besides we should not wast time on experiments such as this seeing we have many objectives to complete and little time to do it in.

>>>7197032
And Chewy is with us. Let's make some monsters!

>>7196947
Seconding the notion of mixing it up for the omnissiah.
Suggestion: Tin one of the brood to act as our Prophet of the Omnissiah.

>>7197032

OK, let's have Chewy do it for us and have the hybrids and the other Ogryn ready to stomp the first one if we lose control.

>>7197054
Yes. BRILLIANT.
I speak in favor!

>>7197054
Seconded.

This is all going to end poorly...

>>7197054
>>7197065
>>7197074

Cronize an Ogrynstealer to act as a fake prophet of the Omnissiah: Confirm?

>>7197102
Clarification: Cron a Genestealer to be the Prophet, test Cron one of the Ogyrnstealers.

>>7197049

Even if the experiment goes wrong, if we get the Grey Knights there to fight them, they'll keep each other busy while we can accomplish our other objectives.

Query: Could Chewy spray Necrodermis to, say, armor something? IE: Could we have it spray Necrodermis onto some metal plates, which we then surround with Chitin on our body to enhance our defense without actually becoming Lictcron?

I propose we run a quick test, and try this with a Genestealer; If it fails, we have a Cronstealer, if it succeeds, we a have a Meatshielder.

>>7197102
Clarification: Not an Ogrynstealer, but one of ordinary size. We need both ogrynstealers to curbstomp it if it goes wrong.

Incidentally, how big is our brood right now?

>>7197156
About a dozen people were infected, if me logic centre serves me correctly

>>7197173

Plus the Ogryns?

>>7197156

Twenty Hybridstealers in the bar, plus two Ogrynstealers.

Confirmed: Necronize a regular Hybridstealer.

Chewy flies down the vents and into the bar, flitting about as he searches for a suitable candidate. Finally, he locates one, a female near the back of the room, probably in her mid-30s.

He sprays her with a concentrated burst of Necrodermis, and flies back to you as you observe the results.

The woman is quickly encased in the substance, becoming a shapeless blob, but soon re-emerges, her skin replaced by the same black-green metal that constitutes Chewy's body.

Suggestion: Create systems imitating Mechanicus Implants for added believability.

>>7197193
Confirmed

>>7197199
Quick synaptic ping, does she respond?
If so, let's weaponize a little. Plasma weapons, and some imitation AdMech implants are a good idea. Mechadendrites done Necron style.

>>7197199
Command: Search memories of the Techpriest to create a suitable disguise

>>7197223

Hell, we can just give her our inferno pistol.

>>7197239
Memories... did we happen to save his parts after we ate him? If we've been carrying those around with us, might as well just use those for templates.

>>7197223

She responds. Initiate Weapon generation?

>>7197249
Good idea. Better if she can replicate it...a few times. >=D

Let's make a dozen or so of those breeder rippers and send them out.

>>7197270

Indeed, but I doubt we have the materials on hand.

>>7197265
Let's. Using the inferno pistol as the base template.
Given that overkill is a useful tool to this nid node, I think two triple-weapon clusters or something similar would suffice.

>>7197284
Good point, let's find out.
And we are in a metal building connected to a sizable underground storage facility. There's bound to rough materials around we can, if our little Pariah Messiah can't, have Chewy metabolize into Necrodermis and work from there.

>>7197294
>>7197310

Confirmed: Chewy is able to generate a few Inferno Pistols, and the Necronissiah is able to successfully adapt them to mechandrites.

>>7197310

It's worth a shot, let's have some hybrids fetch any useful materials from storage.

>>7197352
MUWAHAHAHAHA!
ooooooooooH YES!
Foolish Imperial FLESHBAGS!
Serotonin for all!

heh heh.....
ok. let's get on to that test Ogryn-nid-cron.

>>7197366

Agreed, but take all precautions with this one.

>>7197366

A similar effect is achieved with the Ogryn - The synapse ping seems to be stronger, in fact.

Additionally, creatures composed of necrodermis can be remodelled into new forms. Example: Transform Ogrynnidcron into Warriorcron.

I am somewhat concerned that we will be unable to effectively maintain control of these creations. We're not going to be able to stick next to them and synaptically control them ourselves, and our ripper net isn't exactly the most reliable thing with those Grey Knights running around. Who knows if we will be able to reestablish control after they leave our command?

>>7197404
Success.
I propose transforming the other one.

And then....have the Brood move out, start spreading the word.

>>7197404

Leave him as an Ogryn for maximun confusion.

How is his mental state? Is he still dumb as hell?

>>7197417
The Grey Knights are busy trying to find Doomlictor, and the Net is huge.

Seriously, let's send out some breeder rippers to get more slaves.

My internet is crapping out, gents.

Requesting immediate archival link for continuation tomorrow.

>>7197417
Noted. I think they're use is in combating the GK's directly. If we can get the GK's chasing the Psi net, we'll lure them into combat with the Crongryns. As long as they inflict casualties they fulfill a purpose.

>>7197417

Our chameleonic scales are more than effective enough to keep us hidden, especially when there's no power in this part of the city, so we can stay with them.

>>7197426
Strip all that out. Ogryns are notoriously Faithful, we must be sure to erase that impulse, and replace it with sheer murderous aggression.

>>7197464
But we don't want to stay with them! Their purpose is to sow chaos and attract attention; we need to avoid attention if at all possible, lest we be found and slain by those Inquisitorial dicks.

>>7197454

Thank you kind sir.

With that, I am out, fellows. Look for another thread sometime early tomorrow afternoon (Mountain time).
