Your host is far too large and heavy to move, even if it were not firmly affixed to the wall.

Kill self

Devour host. Fuck Bitches. Get Money.

You slither back up the curved outcroppings that hold your host in place and tear a small piece off. It is satisfying, but you still feel very unsafe.

I go inside my host's anus.

then SCUTTLE towards a DARK RECESSION

>>8100437
The darkness envelops you, but you can still register your environment just fine. The recession is quite large compared to your tiny body, but the further you scurry the more small alcoves and tunnels you find. The entire place smells like you, but faintly.

>>8100451
I grow bored. Is that a viable option?

>>8100479
Yes.

After a few minutes of inactivity, you feel an itching sensation. A few more minutes of squirming and rubbing against the rough surface around you tears off parts of your now-hard carapace. Your body seems to be too big for its shell!

That's a good question. Your instinct tells you that there should be lots more of you around, but so far there's just you and your (former) host back in the DIM LIGHT.

Your carapace is indeed too small for you.

We're a 'burster, not a facehugger. We already laid eggs in brain.

Rub up against walls. Slither around, explore the area in more detail. How are our senses developed so far (Electrical, primitive sight, tactile, hearing, taste?)

>>8100575
You don't have anything to compare them to, but you can sense your surroundings just fine. In fact...

After your third molting (and the consumption of your delicious molted bits), you find a SMALL HOLE barely large enough for you to squeeze through. The other side smells a bit like you, but more like ENEMY HIVE.

Well goddamn. Screech in annoyance. See if anything answers. If yes, scope out. If not, go back into dim light, go down other hole.

Actually, we should probably check out that light back by our former host. It could have been a shaft or something leading to the rest of the hive, rather than just a lamp or something.

Score. Try and wall-walk after the screech thing. Screech a bit in triumph too.

>>8100665
You let out a SKREEEEEE of frustration and rage, but do not detect any response call.

As you scuttle back, you find that you're too big to fit through the tunnel that you followed to get here! However, there are many, many DARK RECESSIONS in this area.

>>8100743
You can just barely scuttle through one of the DARK RECESSIONS. By the time you emerge on the other side most of your juvenile carapace has been flecked away. You are now the proud owner of an extremely sharp tail, as well as limbs strong enough to pull yourself up over any surface!

And what's this in the darkness... three eggs? And they smell like you!

>>8100743
Are we even a Drone? We might turn out to be a Praetorian or something, and therefore be getting our fat HEAD stuck in holes.

We will need to find hosts for our brothers.

Together we are strong.

Ensure eggs are in a secure location. Commence hunt for host bodies.

Eating the eggs is probably not a good idea. We're already alone and vulnerable, we don't want to finally run into our hive and immediately have them rip our legs off for cannibalism.

>>8100927
I'm using Dark Horse canon, which might not be all that stable, but imma say there's a difference between drone eggs and Queen eggs.

>>8100942
That depends on canon, actually. Some sources have Queens being born from Praetorians, who are in turn created from drones by feeding them Royal Jelly (such as the AvP RTS and a few AvP comics). Other sources (such as Aliens: Stronghold) claim that Queens (and, to a lesser extent, Praetorians) are born from specific eggs which are visually distinct from other eggs. It's just up to the individual which explanation you prefer.

>>8100970
>>8100974

Very well.

As you process the best way to retrieve MORE HOSTS, you detect a SLIGHT TREMBLING in the ceiling above you. There are numerous openings in the walls and ceiling, but you are not sure where any of them go.

You can definitely tell where you are in location to the SLIGHT NOISE, however.

You weigh your options and decide to PLAY IT SAFE by withdrawing back into the DARK RECESSION.

You silently lower yourself behind the WARM BODY and lunge at it just as it steps out of the room. It is totally surprised, but manages to make a LOUD SOUND before you drag it back into the DARK RECESSION.

And once again, this is not the room with the eggs. They are safe (you assume) for now.

Get it into the tunnel. LIKE NAOW. Before they come to investigate.

Stun or otherwise incapacitate the warm thing if possible, then lurk with it nearby to observe effects of LOUD SOUND. If not, drag the warm thing to the eggs for implantation, then return carefully.

A few HARD SMACKS makes the WARM BODY go limp, though it is still alive.

A moment later, some COLD THINGS return to the room and make a few quiet noises. One of them shines a LIGHT up into the tunnel you are lurking in, but they do not react further.

>>8101256

Love it.

Take the WARM BODY to your brethren, they will need a place to gestate.

Perfect. Drag body back for implantation, then resume previous position.

Watch for lone WARM BODIES looking for the lost WARM BODY. Protect eggs, if necessary.

>>8101276

Lie dormant. If they linger, crawl away.

>>8101276

Take the WARM THING back to the place with the eggs.

>>8101202
When did this happen?
Oh and we better be giving this body to the huggers, no selfish noming for us.

>>8101276
Remain dormant until COLD BODIES cease paying attention to tunnel and leave area, then proceed with moving the captured WARM BODY.

Have we knocked out the WARM BODY and snatched him up into our tunnel, or left him on the floor?, if the latter is true Are the COLD THINGS investigating the unconcious WARM BODY?

Drip saliva on face of warm thing.

The COLD THINGS make a few more quiet noises, then return the way they came.

A few minutes later, you have secreted and built a workable cocoon to hold the NEW HOST. The egg closest to it splits open and the FACEHUGGER instinctively clatters out and climbs up the cocoon to the waiting receptacle.

You are hungrier now.

>>8101326
I like this.

>>8101256
>>8101256

Ah, cool. I'm assuming the other tunnel from the egg chamber leads to ENEMY HIVE?

Hold still, with our prize clutched tightly, until the cold bodies retreat. Then bring captive warm body to EGG CHAMBER.

>>8101333

We need to search for more WARM BODIES. Go back where we found the WARM BODY and follow the path the COLD BODIES took.

Excellent. Return to tunnel position, or a similar crevice in that room, and wait.

Now that the Facehugger has implanted the HOST, we can investigate further into the tunnels. Return to the room. Check the area. If any lights are present, break them with tail of AWESOME.

Experiment to see if we can climb on walls. Warm things and cold things clearly have inferior senses; attacking from an unexpected angle could make gathering hosts even easier.

If we infected a dog, we'll get a faster alien without spiracles. Either way, it's going to be a while before he's all grown up and ready to make tiny elephant noises with us.
SPEAKING OF: Can we use our spiracles to lower ourselves from the ceiling on 'wires'? It only happened in one scene in Alien (and was referenced briefly in the Colonial Marine's Technical Manual), so I don't know if it's considered retconned or not.

Sneak into tunnel the SINGLE WARM BODY and MULTIPLE COLD THINGS came from. Look for LONE WARM BODY.

>>8101449
The WARM BODY is staying close to the COLD THINGS.

You are hungrier now.

The WARM BODY and COLD THINGS have reached the (northeast) hallway and are moving down it. There is a SINGLE COLD THING in the rear of the group.

>>8101449
>>8101453
These. If COLD THINGS wander off and leave WARM THING alone, we attack and steal WARM THING back to the hive. If not, we wait for them to leave then head down the tunnel they came from, hoping to find another lone WARM THING.

>>8101465

I will correct your typo. We steal the WARM THING.

>>8101465
maybe look for other types of warm things? Variety is the spice of life, and the more ways we can come at the warm things, the more food/hosts for the hive.

This waiting around is not getting us fed. I suggest we investigate back where we left our host.

Hivemind seems to be split:

1. Investigate the hallway the LARGE GROUP went down

2. Follow the SMALL GROUP down the (northeast) hallway.

Need consensus.

>>8101473

Count the COLD THINGS. How many are there?

Should we attempt to IMPALE COLD THING while it's lagging behind? It could be risky, but it would be better to get the drop on them now than have to fight them head on if they manage to find our vulnerable eggs.

>>8101852
Your BIOMECHANICAL REFLEXES send you hurtling toward the ceiling, avoiding all of the VERY BRIGHT LIGHTS. As the WARM BODIES continue to make VERY LOUD SOUNDS and VERY BRIGHT LIGHTS you manage to grab one of them and drag it up to the ceiling with you! The VERY LOUD SOUNDS and VERY BRIGHT LIGHTS immediately stop, but the WARM BODIES on the ground are making loud sounds, as is the WARM BODY in your hands.

>>8101876
Yeah, I mean that's pretty much less 'SKREEEEEEE' and more 'WRYYYYYYYYY'.

to be fair, we've kicked the shag out of two COLD THINGS so 'some WARM BODIES' shoulnd't be a problem.

rolled 9 = 9

>>8101852
>>8101862
Twelvemind and Ceilingmind.
Brofist for Brohiss.

rolled 9 = 9

>>8101881

Ahh, I'm starting to get the feeling that this isn't a military party at all.

Anyway, the lights and shouting are confusing us. Silence the warm body in our clutches and GTFO.

rolled 8 = 8

Retreat and hide. While lurking, use our senses to identify if any of the WARM BODIES are BLACK.

We hear they usually go first in these types of situations.

You can either drag the WARM BODY directly back to the eggs or take an alternate route: the northeast hallway (no known WARM BODIES/COLD THINGS) or the west hallway (probably more WARM BODIES/COLD THINGS).

You cannot attack anything without letting go of the WARM BODY in your hands.

>>8101881
Make tiny elephant noises. Throw WARM BODY at another WARM BODY, then drop down, tail slap them both, grab them, and jump back onto the ceiling. Then repeat.

>>8101881
Use the warm thing as a shield, seeing as they clearly don't want to hurt it. Stab them up with the tail, try to stun them if possible, but self preservation comes first.

rolled 11 = 11

Kill the WARM THING we're holding, toss it at one of the WARM THINGS below (only WARM THINGS here, right?), POUNCE the other WARM THING. RIP AND TEAR.

>>8101894
Our character is now known as Brohiss.

rolled 9 = 9

>>8101876
>>8101881
Stun the one in out grasp and descend upon the others in a manner that would make people watching this as a movie crap their pants in terror.

Commence LEG BREAKING TAIL WHIPS

rolled 3 = 3

>>8101922

Throw Warm Body to the floor and jump down after him. Lay about with claw and tail.

Hopefully, we'll manage to maim a couple of them instead of killing.

You hurl the WARM BODY in your hands directly at the other WARM BODIES, which results in a great deal of scurrying and noise-making on their part.

As you lunge toward the audien- I mean the WARM BODIES, one of them somehow makes a VERY LOUD SOUND and a VERY BRIGHT LIGHT!

Roll a d12, please.

rolled 7 = 7

Knock out the one in hand and drop it on the others, they while they are trying to figure out what is going on or check on him, we drop on them out for the Kill. Have one that can be brought back for a host, don't need to go easy on the rest. If anouther survives we've got a full set for the eggs.

rolled 12 = 12

>>8101975

Dice don't fail me now...

rolled 3 = 3

Rock on. Let's hit that WARM BODY WHAT MAKES LOUD NOISES with the fiery claw of Xenomorph Heroism.

rolled 8 = 8

>>8101975
Avoid light, impale with tail.

>>8102003

This was the first roll that was actually responding to >>8101975

Bite the living fuck out of the faggot that tried to shoot us, while using tail to trip up the other. YOU DON'T FUCK WITH BROHISS.

>>8101992
You avoid the VERY BRIGHT LIGHTS, but the WARM BODY is still making VERY LOUD SOUNDS and VERY BRIGHT LIGHTS.

More than one of the other WARM BODIES is fleeing back the way they came! (the west hall)

The WARM BODY you threw is not moving. One of the other WARM BODIES is laying on the ground making loud noises.

rolled 10 = 10

>>8102042

See how the guy with the gun likes our tail through his cerebrum.

>>8102003
>Third bullet-dodging 12 in the thread so far

Apparently, we're just metal as fuck. It's like we're the Neo of Aliens, or some shit.

>>8102042
True dat. I'll allow it.

You impale the WARM BODY making the VERY LOUD SOUND and suddenly there is no more VERY LOUD SOUND or VERY BRIGHT LIGHTS.

That makes MORE THAN ONE WARM BODY immobile in this room. The other WARM BODIES are still fleeing down the (west) hallway.

>>8102042
Pounce the WARM BODY that's making all those noises. Disembowel, return to ceiling, and then pounce on that WARM BODY that's running away.

rolled 1 = 1

>>8102005
Only if you define 'Xenomorph Heroism' as striking viciously and without mercy from the shadows, preferably just after they talk to someone about their family/wife/kid/dog or whathaveyou.

Not letting people understand that we are an alien is top priority, crush the WARM BODY underfoot then chase the other WARM BODY and subdue it.

HEADBITE WARM THING.
This thing is still shooting us, and we need to at least try out some delicious brainmeats. We have a full set of hosts now anyway, so it's not like we need to preserve this one.

>>8102075
YES.

For the Hive Mother, and the continuance of the species!

>>8102069

WE ARE BROHISS.

DESTROYER OF WARM BODIES.

/metalsolo

As you chase the fleeing WARM BODIES, your silicate senses detect a VERY LARGE COLD THING moving rapidly toward you down the (west) hallway making EXTREMELY LOUD SOUNDS and EXTREMELY BRIGHT LIGHTS.

>>8102075

We are ensuring the continuation of the Hive. That is heroism. That is the only heroism. That is our entire world.

Chase the last, fleeing Warm Body. Try and take it alive.

>>8102134

FUCK, RUN.

>>8102134
Shit. Grab a WARM BODY, and use it as a shield. Retreat towards pile of WARM BODIES.

>>8102134
Retreat to ceiling and wait.

Brohiss needs to get the crap out of there. Any nice looking ventialtion shafts about>?

rolled 8 = 8

>>8102134
Fuck, take the warm body we stunned and one thats still twitching and GTFO.

>>8102134

Damnit. Is it coming from the same direction we are chasing the bodies in?

Backtrack to the place where we left the two bodies. If the one we dropped from the ceiling is still alive, grab him. If not, just grab either of them for food. Carry the body back to the ceiling and try and stealth our way back to the hive, avoiding the LARGE COLD THING.

If you would like to climb directly up to the EGG TUNNEL you can carry a WARM BODY with each foot.

If you would like to flee down the (northeast) tunnel you can carry a single WARM BODY while you run.

EXTREMELY LOUD SOUNDS fuck with Xenomorphs. Like, a lot. They seriously don't like them. In one of the comics, they actually use sonic cannons to completely incapacitate adult Xenomorphs and terrify a Queen into retreating.
Ergo, we grab one of the warm things and get the fuck out of dodge (i.e. back to the secluded egg chamber, hopefully where the BIG THING can't follow us).

>>8102134

In some situations, it's best to retreat, and come up with a more tactical plan for dealing with VERY LARGE COLD THINGS

Grab as many WARM BODIES as possible without being to encumbered and retreat.

>>8102186
IF WE LEG IT, WE CAN COME AGAIN FOR ANUVVA GO

>>8102180
Climb directly to EGG TUNNEL with as many bodies as possible. More hosts are required, so the hive may grow.

>>8102180

The second option sounds less risky. Grab one (hopefully living) and take the long way back to the nest.

>>8102134
Retreat toward ENEMY HIVE. If anything is getting purged, let it be those assholes.

What's it gonna be, Brohisssssssss?

Straight back to the eggs with MORE THAN ONE NEW HOSTS, or roundabout down the northeast hallway with one NEW HOST?

>>8102180
IT's a risk, but we need more Xenomorphs for a better fighting chance against shit like this.

Take 2.

to the egg chamber...

>>8102221
We could try this. Before we do though, try to fling (or otherwise stash) one of the warmbloods up in the entrance to the egg chamber. Hopefully our hugger friends will be able to smell him and make it to his body; we can drag them to safer confines when we get back.

>>8102227

Roundabout way with one host.

We are NOT leading them back to the nest.

Roundabout with one WARM BODY.

>>8102244
>>8102245
These.

You scuttle up the wall and into the DARK RECESSION, dragging the NEW HOSTS behind you. Moments later you emerge in the EGG CHAMBER and notice that the FACEHUGGER is lying on the floor, having served its purpose.

Also, looks like the thread is hitting autosage. New thread time?

>>8102227

Roundabout with one.

>>8102268
Lay new hosts on the floor near the other two eggs.

(sorry, saw two votes for TAKE TWO FOR THE TEAM so I ran with it)

And I have to leave in like 30 minutes, so this might be a good pause point. How about we restart this at oh, say... 1900 4chan time?

rolled 6 = 6

>>8102268
Dump bodies, HAUL ASS to come back around and attack them from side or behind as fiercely as possible. Need to get them off that the trail of the eggs.

This being my first quest thread, I've noticed that a lot of confusion can be avoided by mandating that all die rolls/ responses be prefaced with a link to the post being replied to.

So that's the new standard for HIVE QUEST.

>>8102312

Well, it doesn't seem like we were followed, so no harm done.

Eat facehugger. Its served its purpose.

Are either of the bodies we recovered still alive? If so, implant. Dead bodies can be left on the floor for Brohiss' baby bro to eat when he hatches.

19:00 sounds fine.

>>8102268

Excellent. We now have friends.

Also, get the other body facehugged and prepare.

>>8102316
>>8102306
Your Giger-esque brain tells you that the NEW HOSTS might wander off if not properly restrained. Do you want to take the time to secure them, or go spoof a trail somewhere else?

(first three posts linking to this one form consensus)

>>8102365

I thought one of the guys we brought back was dead?

Well, if one or both of them are still alive, stick them to the wall with some resin. We have plenty of resources for the moment, so we might as well take the time to get our hive together.

>>8102365
Cocoon hosts.

>>8102365

Break up all those bones.

>>8102365
Prepare the hosts. We need more brothers to make tiny elephant noises with us.

Restrain HOSTS and wait.

>>8102365
Slash legs of WARM THING off, form quick cocoons on leg stubs to prevent bleeding.

Then leg it.

>>8102395
Your nightmarish intellect doesn't understand the concept of skeletal systems.

Cocoons for everyone!

>>8102365
Do we know if the BIG THING can fit through the tunnel we took to get here? If no, take the time to secure them. If not, it's a much higher priority; if the warm things get back up and escape, they might tell the others where our eggs are.. But if the BIG THING gets in here, it's GAME OVER MAN, GAME OVER.

rolled 1 = 1

>>8102365
Break limbs, spoof trail.

>>8102426
Just to be clear this means all three eggs have hosts now right?

>>8102457
Yes. Three NEW SIBLINGS (assuming the other two eggs take) should be arriving during the DRAMATIC INTERMISSSSION.

>>8102436
The VERY LARGE COLD THING would have a VERY HARD TIME scuttling through that tunnel. Either tunnel.

>>8102470

Before the intermissssion, could you list our current resources, including captive hosts, eggs, and food stores?

>>8102503
During DRAMATIC INTERMISSION, can we scout the ventilation systems, automatically avoiding WARM THINGS and COLD THINGS alike?

>>8102514
Three captive hosts, three empty eggs (all the facehuggers have now been successfully attached), no food that I can think of beyond the bodies of the hosts. I think that's all.

>>8102514
Three cocooned hosts + Three eggs = Three new brothers on the way.

>>8102514
Your inventory consists of:
ONE (1) TAIL
ONE (1) INNER MOUTH
FOUR (4) LIMBS
ONE (1) EGG CHAMBER
THREE (3) NEW INCUBATING HOSTS
TWO (2) FACEHUGGERS, attached to said hosts

You ate the first facehugger after it laid its egg. Not the best meal you've ever had, but enough to keep your energy up for a little while. All that MATRIX DODGING takes a lot out of you.

>>8102542
No, we need to lure them away, attack their flank.

>>8102542
Yes, I will try to get a more EXPANDED MAP up in the intermisssssssion.

OK, I have to go now.

1900 HOURS: THE HISSENING

Archive would be nice.
