"We have to assume it's some sort of drone or probe," interjects a third, more aggressively; it it paid any mind to the one examining you, it gives no indication. A tertiary optical cluster focuses on it, deducing that it is largely similar to the other specimens observed so far, but clad in an armored jumpsuit of of ceramic plates and ballistic fabric.

"We don't have to assume any such thing!" the first protests while you return your attention to the female - a deduction based on the presence of secondary sexual characteristics and low-power scan sweeps of its physiology. The initial returns indicate a high quantity of cobalt in the creature's chemical composition, no doubt functioning as hemoglobin and contributing to the shade of its pigmentation.

"Sir?" she begins again, a bit more loudly this time. "You should really take a look at this."

"Not now, Sar'a!" the aggressive specimen, a male of the species, impatiently chastises.

The female's cheeks color as she snaps to attention, turning her back to you as she addresses the male. "I apologize, Commander," she accedes, "but I don't think the device is completely inert."

What do?

Explore own anatomy so we know what we look like.

Run a quick self diagnostic.

Say "Hello." Get up and begin methodically testing the cage. What do we remember?

Also FUCK YEAH I HOPE SO MUCH YOU'RE THE REAL THING

Posting in an epic troll thread. I just know this is a trick, Shas.

Anyway.

Reduce power signature to bare minimum level, observe with your most passive sensors. Fake death so that the higherup will not notice.

>>13058431
Hmm, trip is different than the one in the archives, but that may not mean anything.

To Do: Find Anima/Xeno smut

>>13058478
Tripcode means everything.

Nice troll. Ciao.

You perform a more comprehensive diagnostic of your mechanical systems, reestablishing a mnemonic framework of your construction. You measure exactly 45.3 centimeters in length from the tip of your mandible cluster to the end of your carapace with a cluster of six manipulator digits curled under your primary chassis in a stowed position. At the moment, you are confined in an isolation vessel intended to prevent biological contamination from escaping into the environment which scarcely allows you room to deploy your wings or unfold your legs.

A memetic notation identifies you as a precursor scarab, although you presently lack the context to associate it.

The lifeforms quickly surround your enclosure while you return to a fully docile state, passive perception only. The one which you identified as a technician appears to be attempting a remote analysis. It is possible that, if allowed to continue, he will discover the power spike that accompanied your resurrection.

>>13058539
Burst out of there and face-hug that technician.

Style looks familiar, but the tripcode is suspect...

Curse you, Shas, for making me doubt you!

If this is the real shas, check in in the mibbit room.

Ignore these, but... I can't think of anything to do.

>>13058539
Are any of our onboard communication systems able to interface with the surrounding computer network? Let's hack them if we can.

>>13058640
Sounds too risky if they suddenly get an output coming from the drone. I'd say it would be better to cut down power levels and restart some time later.

>>13058652

An analysis of your networking capabilities quickly leads you to discover a platinum-level lockout on your ability to connect wirelessly. Any interface will have to be performed as a physical link between systems and that will require you to escape your current confinement.

After a rapid series of calculations, you determine that a sufficiently explosive movement should enable you to breach the containment vessel and allow you to impact one of your captors with a fair degree of kinetic energy, potentially allowing you to incapacitate your chosen target.

Select a target - or no target at all - and roll 1d100; the first consensus of three determines your course of action.

rolled 21 = 21

>>13058753
Consensus now? Interesting... it's nice to see some of our suggestions from Tau Quest have resonated well with you Shas.

Attempt to keep our power spike from registering, do not attempt violent action.

Consensus isn't new, Shas always used to ask for at least three concurrent suggestions before completely disregarding them and doing something else.

Also, Drone is Geth.

>>13058771
Attempt to keep things on the low-down for moment, pretending to remain inert so that we can gather more information. Hide the power spike.

If he detects it anyway, wake up and take it to the most dangerous-looking of the three- that'd be the one in the armored jumpsuit, unless I miss my guess. Don't strike to kill, merely disable; we might be able to get command of the situation and demand more information.

noway... could it be?
I remain skeptical

>>13058886
You skepticism, while warranted, is unnecessary. This is the real Shas.

Although you hide your power signature now that you find yourself on the verge of discovery, the initial spike - although subtle enough not to raise an alarm at the time - has nonetheless already been logged by the primitive sensing equipment arranged around your enclosure. From this, the grey-suited male is able to refine his readings and hone in on you!

"Shas'o," the technician starts, "there was definitely some sort of activity inside the force field, but whatever it was it seems to have ceased.

"Without knowing more about how this construct functions," he continues, "I recommend placing it under guard in case it does prove to be active."

"My thoughts exactly," the Shas'o replies, drawing his firearm - a blocky, snub-nosed energy weapon, by your passive analysis - and leveling it at you. "Guards!"

What do we know? We're a scarab drone of a sort. Are we from Taucron, or some other Necrons? Do we have any background, or is it just "we wake up here."?

In any case, lets use our ridiculously sharp legs to cut a hole in our cage and escape. They're sharp because that's how scarabs attack.

>>13059033
yessssssss
any attempt to communicate is good, tau are hopeful folks.

>>13059033
Sounds good to me.

>>13059056
Why not just escape into the air ducts?

>>13059014
Pfft. Are they kidding? We can outlast them. We can go decades, centuries even without activity. We can wait until they are reassured that the spike was just an error or something, or assured that we are harmless and take us out to examine.

>>13059088
I don't think Shas wants to run this quest for decades.

>>13059088
On the other hand, they might be transporting us to a much more secure location. We should escape now while we know we can.

"Sir, it's powering up!" the technician exclaims as you unfold your legs within the tight confines of the container. Another group of creatures, clad similarly to the one identified as Shas'o and bearing energy rifles, enters the laboratory space and assume firing positions on you as you attempt to communicate.

You're left to wonder if counting on organics to behave in a logical fashion was ill advised as the Shas'o declares, "flood the unit," his weapon maintaining a remarkably steady bead on you throughout.

Vents in the floor of your enclosure snap open - far too small to escape, but more than adequate to admit a vaporous mist containing a curious collection of chemical compounds which begin to bond to your chassis on contact, and then to each other with remarkable speed. The air around you grows viscous with the substance as it rapidly sublimates from gas to solid, undoubtedly with the intention of trapping you like an insect in amber.

Roll 1d100 to resist the compound's effects.

Although it restricts your movements, you're able to remain mobile - for the time being, struggling within the shifting morass of resin as it hardens around you. As the volume of your surroundings continues to change, your sluggish efforts begin to place a strain on the container itself. A sudden burst of activity is likely to shatter both the amber and the enclosure, alike.

The first spiderwebs of cracking glass begin to appear, prompting the assembled guards to click off their safeties.

Roll 1d100 and declare an action to follow your emergence.

rolled 37 = 37

>>13059477
Shatter amber, do not engage in hostilities. If they attempt to harm us, flee, do not fight.

Bust out of the glass and lunge towards the group and right past them. Look for nooks, crannies, ducts, anything that you can go and they can't. Remember to zig zag, make erratic movement!

>>13059554
>>13059494

nope. do not do these. any stationary movement or hesitation will have us blown to bits. we've already resisted capture and they won't be taking chances after a potentially dangerous alien creature just busted out of their tank that's supposed to be able to hold you.

You lunge, as best you can, causing the walls of your enclosure to bulge out as they lose integrity. Glass shatters, flying it all directions with the force of your escape, but even as you extend your limbs the amber finally reaches a point of critical mass and grows still around you. Your limbs lock with no room to maneuver, preventing any motion at all.

"I wan't that thing isolated under constant observation," the Shas'o snaps, but if he's about to give any further orders he's delayed by a buzz from the communicator at the side of his head.

"Go ahead," he instructs, raising a hand to the headset's transmit key. Glowering, he snarls the word, "gue'la," before storming off.

His departure is interrupted by a sudden explosion that seems to rock the facility, sending your amber prison falling heavily to the floor. The assembled guards are sprawled by the force of the blast and, although muffled by your resinous confines, your auditory sensors are able to pick out the sounds of weapon discharges nearby.

>>13059670
This is ludicrous. They're about to kill us anyway.

Make contact with the nearest tomb world and phase out.

Failing that, upload coordinates, and hope somebody wakes up.

The high-pitched whine of plasma discharges suffuse the surrounding laboratories as the fighting, whatever its form, draws closer. The guards, footing restored after the momentary disorientation, redirect their attention to the exit as they form up in an orderly fashion.

"Sir," one of them announces, operating a similar communication device to the commander's. "Laboratories two, three and five report containment breaches. The last hit took out power to the-"

The organic's words are cut short as a shriek of rent metal interjects, the far bulkhead buckling beneath an enormous weight as a new creature bursts into the chamber. It's massive, easily towering over the assembled guards and technicians, each of its four arms ending in jagged, scythe-like growths. Thick ropes of drool hang from its slavering maw, flecks of spittle flying as it lets loose a howl of rage!

The guards maintain their ground and begin to fire at the beast, but their shots seem to do little to discourage the ensuing bull rush as it slams into the ranked soldiers. Cobalt blood spatters its dark carapace as its soon among them, rending bodies limb from limb.

The Shas'o shouts a challenge, unloading round after round from his sidearm into the beast, but is snapped in half by its fangs for his efforts.

Your captors' attention, understandably, is off of you for the time being and an analysis of the resin compound indicates that it was damaged in the fall. You have a very good chance of escaping its confines.

Declare an action and roll 1d100.

Deploying all of your moving parts at once does the trick, shattering the resin block with a resounding crack - although if anybody else noticed your emergence in all of the surrounding chaos, they give no sign - too busy as they are with fighting and dying all around you.

A flash of movement to your rear draws your attention as you spot a blood-spattered figure scrambling into an air duct - the female that first observed your resurrection cycle, no doubt having come to a similar conclusion regarding possible escape routes. Shaking off the last particles of amber that cling tenaciously to your joints,you skitter to follow.

let her know we are in the same boat as she is and that we're just trying to survive.

>>13060432
Panic often keeps people from seeing such rational things

I'm pretty sure she's very PANICKED

As you scuttle into the airduct after the fleeing tau, something clicks deep in your core programming; a deep-seated, almost instinctive purpose that guides you to increase the speed of your pursuit, launching yourself into the air as you zero in on the survivor.

If she notices your presence in the cramped quarters of the ductwork, it's far too late to evade as you twist in the air, legs oriented to her spine as you land with sufficient force to send her sprawling on her belly. She lets out a cry of alarm while you dig in, adhering tightly to her back.

With no connective hardware present, you opt instead to interface directly with the tau's nervous system, your underside splitting apart and reconfiguring to deploy a number of neural interface adapters that pierce your erstwhile host's spine and render her temporarily paralyzed!

Unable to move, the tau's eyes widen with panic as you insinuate yourself into the governance of her autonomous functions, forcing her into a state of suspended animation - near-death, allowing you to wait out the monstrous creature's predations, at least for the moment.

And allowing you adequate time to get to know each other.

Drone Quest will continue.

Statement: Tau female may perish from necrodermis implantation.
Statement: Succesful escape is calculated at 84.863% more likely with a host.
Proposition: In the event the Tau female is rendered an ineffective host due to cessation of biological function, an alternate host should be obtained.
Clarification: Nearest viable host is the unfamiliar insectoid creature.
Conclusion: Insectoid creature should be considered a potential resource should implantation fail. Reference memory bank >>13059989
for potential course of action.

Drones are fundamentally incomplete without a Tau girl host. We're like a mechanical symbiont.

We aren't dependent on her, she is a resource to be used.

Even if she survives the taucronizing, we may still feed off her or use her to store necrodermis.

>>13071791
Probability of compatibility with female Tau: 95.58%
Probability of compatibility with Tyranid: 52.7%
Statement: the greater ability of the female Tau to interact with her environment equates to a greater likelyhood of succesful escape.
Reference memory subroutine >>13071800
for potential drawbacks to Tyranid implantation.
Proposition: Tyranid communication may be disabled by significant damage to its neurological functions.
Conclusion: Continue to implant female Tau. If a member of species TYRANID can be subdued, data on Tyranid brain structure should be gathered before attempted implantation.

We will make this Taugirl and armored monster, and she will be our mistresses first shield maiden

>Insufficient Data

>>13071949
Addendum:>>13071862
See first assertion:
Data must be collected as priority #2:
>>Priority 1: Serve Greater Good.
>>Priority 2: escape with corpral body, serve Mistress. (Now include data gathering)
>>Priority 3: Expand control,

>greater good (ref: Tau'va) is best served without endangering or destroying those who it protects

The greater good is more important than a single Tau girl. And for us, the greater good is getting back to the mistress.

Then if the planet will be destroyed if we don't kill a man, we need to get that mans permission to kill him and if not the planet is fucked?

Fuck no, the rights of the individual is out weighed by THE GREATER GOOD.

(Hey now, let's keep things civil. No one was being called out for bad posts- it was just a suggestion of our character, that perhaps bad strings of code and subversive elements left over from out C'tan programming may still be in affect.)

>>13072054

it's an entangled state, bro.

personally, I feel that us hyjacking this tau lass is dangerously like in ADVENTURE NOW when we raped the blond support lass, and the quest stalled because of it.

Hell, people wanted to fucking mutilate the wissil expocy for no good reason.

>>13072191
>C'tan programming

WTF are you talking about? The drones were originally 100% necron and then Xeno added her on memories or mental processes to them and SHE was even made by the the necron lord.

>>13072240
This processor, despite it's unorthodox coding, quantifies wisdom.

Just ignore the shitposts guys.

And could somebody spell out exactly what this quest is about?
The PC is a Necron Drone... deep in Tau territory and planning to possess(theoretically speaking) a Tau.
Or something?
Help me out here.

>>13072252
Drone was originally a Tau drone- its processes and data transferred to a Necron Scarab
note: While Xeno was a clone, she started out with her own identity and no observable influence by C'tan programming

>>13072277
The protagonist is a Drone
It does not serve the C'tan
It serves the Mistress of the Undying Swarm- Xeno Kor'la Mesme, a Tau that has been augmented with necron parts

>>13072240
Wait, you're saying that being "LOLSORANDUM ISNT THES AWSOME GUISE XDDDD" /doesn't/ work? How ever would have guessed!

But yeah, I agree.Random lulz shit does tend to make quests die or stall. And while necronizing the techie will probably help her survive longer and shit, it wouldn't have hurt to try other things either, or try doing things less forcefully.

>>13072343

we don't know that we serve her, it's just that we think that we do.

Hell, all we got in the out of character knowledge that this is from the same guy who gave us tau quest, but like most of /tg/ he could totally troll us by having it be otherwise.

>>13072380
If we think we serve Xeno, then we probably do, yes
and I really think this IS the real shas'o Tau'quest

>>13072277
Well, we're not necessarily a NECRON drone, Xeno formed a new race. a mix of Tau and Necron called Taucron (Fio Korst'la Mesme) and from her she spawned about 13 drones with her material and programming.

>>13072417
It is an actual shas thread. I asked him in irc.

Though my word is worthless, there you go.

>>13072417

Oh, I believe he is the real one, too. It's just that assuming drone n? and Xeno are on the same side seems kinda sketchy without some more information besides lol Shas'o is doing it.

For example, if we can speak tau languages at all well, then I will believe it, otherwise we are relying on not actually valid metagame knowledge for our actions.

>>13072240
Adventure now never continued, right?

>>13072456
We do
We understood the Shas'o just fine

>>13072503

yeah, pretty much.

which was sad.

>>13072503
Right

>>13072527
>>13072538
Damn, just like bad guy quest. I'm still disappointed that we jumped at the first chance to make this exactly like tau quest. Well, nothing we can do about now.
Maybe this will be a 1 thread thing, just like the two attempts to continue tau quest.

>>13072556
Please don't say that
Maybe there's a chance we can reverse our modifications
and we'll be able to hash things out with the Tau in question when we meet mind to mind with her

>>13072556
Well, given that in the IRC room Shas said that Drone Quest would resume tonight, and that it hasn't, the likelyhood of this going nowhere seems to be increasing. Only time will tell.

>>13072591
I doubt that we'll be able to reverse it. The anons and namefags at the time wanted the quest to go that direction and so Shas did.
Remember what good the outcry over hana quest 2's beginning did to that quest.

>>13072625
Oh I hope not. I really hope not.
I really want this to continue

>tripfag posts a thread
>DRAMA
Well gee golly gosh.

>>13072647
1/3 Quest

>>13072641
You and me both, but this is the third time Shas has tried to restart the quest. Shas seems to have problems sticking with things.

>>13072640
>HANA Quest 2
Indeed.

>>13072775
Well, to be fair, Supernova did retcon
He's just busy living his life now- going to college and things

>>13072788
No, that's what I mean. Retconing is what really killed it. Had we just continued and let the bitterness go, it might have turned out differently. Ah well. We live and learn.

>>13072788
I thought he didn't although he made the offer? Honestly, I didn't follow hana quest 2 after the first thread because the new scenario didn't interest me a lot.

>>13072883
Ah, you're right. But the point is, such a stink was raised over it that it lost all momentum.

>>13072927
I remember quite a bit of discussion concerning UM's decisions during the end of vampire bride quest as well.

>>13072961
Eh- I gave up on Vampire Quest when the GM railroaded us into eating a baby

>>13073032
I stuck with it but gave up when we kept killing people just because 1 anon out of 8 though it was a good idea.

Drone Quest will continue.

>>13074932
That's... erm... nice?
I guess?

Bump.

>>13074932
When exactly will Drone Quest continue?

>Gootlon Elliott

I'm so using that as a char name.

Bumb

Drone Quest soon, fellow scarabs.

>>13080432
When?

>in b4 Never!

>>13059327

That's not sublimation, it's deposition.

>>13080555
Oh noes, Shas screwed up introductory physics!

>>13080432
Really? When?

>>13080571
Not really:

Sublimation
Sublimation is the physical change of state of a substance from a solid to a gas without passing through the liquid state or the reverse process of passing from a gas to a solid. Examples of substances that sublime at room temperatures are carbon dioxide (dry ice), iodine and naphthalene (camphor or moth balls). In conditions of low humidity, ice will sublime directly to water vapour at temperatures below 0 degrees Celsius.

.htm

>>13080621

So the same term can be used to describe two opposite reactions? That's some kind of bullshit right there.

Is there any full records of the previous related events regarding Xeno?

There seems to be information spread across several archived threads but no summary detailing all relevant points.

Hey careful with the bumps-we're dangerously close to autosaging

>>13080585
Now.

>>13081186
Recap for the first half can be found:
http://suptg.thisisnotatrueending.com/archive/8434179/
For the rest? I recommend just reading the rest of the threads archived on sup/tg/

>>13080965

Not really; sublimation is just the act of matter changing to or from solid to gas without changing to liquid in between.

>13081191

>>13081191

Alright, new Dronequest
