A silph was following the flier, and it is this one that you now stalk. You have attacked it a few times, retreating from it's phaser after striking a few times. Your chest and right wing are in a small amount of pain, where your scales have been seared after a taking a few blasts, but thankfully your armor provided protection from the grazing hits. You tried to poison the creature with your deadly toxin, but it didn't seem to have any effect on the creature's wooden flesh.

Your last attack has left it crippled, a powerful tail strike shattered one of the creature's legs. As it limps towards the door, and the other intruders, it pulls a fist sized object from a pouch and throws it over its shoulder. The weighty object hits a passing bird and both it and the bird land at your feet.

The bird is green with red patches, and goes squark.
The device is grey with a flashing red light. It is whining with rising pitch.

You don't like this. Flashing whining things have been bad news every time you've experienced them in your short, but eventful, experience.

You spin around and kick the flashing stone (and the bird) which goes flying towards the green armored figure. It sails between the trees as it's siren reaches a crescendo. It explodes before it's gone the whole way, and a huge blue fireball erupts from the air around it.

You duck behind a tree to avoid the mess of flaming branches and leaves that the explosion tosses your way and then scurry through the charred underbrush. You find the silph thrown up against the wall, unconcious. It's armor is singed and it's leaves are smouldering. You can almost feel it's deliciousness slipping away.

>>26968604
If your that new you should probably take those numbers off your name, that gives people a reason to get pissed off at you

You grab the thing by it's shattered and charred armor, and drag it into the underbrush as quickly as you can; its deliciousness is draining from it just as its yellow sap does. When you get out of immediate sight you bite down on the things neck, unwilling to wait any longer. Your teeth dig into the oaken flesh and your mandibles crush it. You feel the Deliciousness catch as it dies. You begin to bite and claw, tearing the armor off and consuming the Delicious creature in chunks.

>Pick one of:
>Neck - Allows you to look in a direction other then forwards. Good for scouting.

>>26968640
>Voice.
All of the rest are useless, but with a stolen voice we can trick the others.

>>26968738
it allows us to use guns and doors.

>>26968862
>we can already use guns
we have to roll just to hold them
even then we fumble with them so much we can barely aim the damn things

Your spine twists and cracks, lengthening and changing. Your arms shift forwards and your wings backwards. You stand only slightly shorter then a human, as your head is nestled between your shoulders. You can balance on two legs now, leaving your hands free for other tasks. Like killing. You giggle excitedly.

Before you are the charred and shredded remains of the silph's green combat armor. She was carrying numerous pouches with electronic devices, though some were broken in your feasting fervor. You also see her phaser lying on the forest floor, near the doorway that leads back to the hangar, and the other intruders.

>>26968640

Stick it to the man!

Upright posture.

>>26969004
I think that's our general reaction to most stimuli.

>>26968969
We ate the body dude.
Hey what did we get from that acid spitting gun thing again?

So is anyone of the intruders going to take a dip in Elizas pool?

>>26969055
I think we got a sonic attack.

Screaming. We can now scream. We broke a mirror with it.

>>26969055
how about the remains then?
We can still use them for a trap.
>>26969073
I forgot we have that, it can be useful.

>>26968640
Neck

>>26968918
We need to find the extra delicious one. The one that shoots deliciousness. Then eat it.

>>26969132
Indeed. We should try it next time we see one of those elephant dudes.

Big ears mean big sounds right?

>>26968918
Bioweapon quest? Shit negro, that's all you had to say.

I reckon we attempt to use the radio and lure the rest of them out, taunt them into coming after us while we lie in wait.

>>26969132
I think the sonic attack will be a good escape tool. Since it's (I think) infinite, we can use it to deafen enemies and run while they're disorientated.

Also I'd REALLY like to vote for self awareness next time. I don't like that our one weakness is a mirror, no matter how cute it is

>>26969132
We ate her whole body. We eat the entire body of everything we eat, the only remains are blood stains.

>>26969203
Human guy looks like a good choice for that. He wouldnt have any interesting mutations anyway.

>>26968932
>You got descriptions for both these creatures, one last thread and one in the past. The bioweapon's memory is only as good as yours.

>>26968969
>>26969000
>Body? You mean the sap-smeared, splinter filled armor? or the bloody sinews tangled in the remnants of the net?

You quickly tear through the undamaged pouches and find three items of interest. The small disk like device the silph was trying to talk to before, another hefty rock, which explodes in fire, and a flat screen that flashes occasionally, whenever a bird flies past.

Unfortunately, you only have two hands.

You snatch up one of the grab the phaser from the charred grass. Green light shines out from a tiny crack down the barrel. You ponder your next move.

>Are you going to:
[ ] Head back to the hangar where the other intruders were investigating the burning wreck of the air vehicle you arrived here in.
[ ] Wait here in ambush.
[ ] Find explore to another room (Acidic smell, or earthen smell and mechanical noises)
[ ] Beg your creator for help
[ ] Other?

>>26969227
Didn't we leave behind rags and electronics.
>>26969203
But we're delicious an ex-cuddly feather ball.i really wished we went the experiment 626 route with being dangerous and extra fluffy.

>>26969306
points for you for that reference!

>>26969306
And getting shot to bits every five minutes?

>>26969295
Oh shit, she had a motion sensor! We can use that!

Take the motion sensor and the phaser. Totally useful. Also we have like 6 legs, right? I kinda want to put a few hands on maybe two of those, would that require a new mutation, or what?

>>26969306
>I'd Just like to remind you that you can Shift biomorphs on any kill.
>But I forgot!

>Since you ate someone, you can either:
>Heal (charred scales: chest, melted scales: wings)
>Recharge bioweapon (Poison glands [2/3])
>Shift biomorphs (Gain one, lose one)

>>26969295
Blood smeared armour for trap.
Also grab the motion sensor and communicator it could be useful.
So my vote is going back towards intruders and bring bloody armour to freak them out.

>>26969370
We could always hold the bomb in our mouth. What could possibly go wrong!
>Please do not do this.

>>26969306
We could still go back to feathers. Stealthy silent flying phaser-armed death.

>>26969391
Will those damaged biomorphs heal because of our heart?

>>26969391
Heal or paper making if we can do that instead.

>>26969391
Heal.

>>26969295
Can we don the shitty remnants of the silph's armour now that we are bipedal? If we do does it provide protection against phasers?

If so strap on that tac vest. If not take the motion/heartbeat sensor (good to get the drop on them) and the grenade.

As much as I would love to go and explore the other rooms that can be done later, best we not let our offspring's host get fucked up. Back the way we came to the hangar whilst checking the radar.

>>26969306
lilo and stitch, well played good sir.

>>26969356
Eh with the right evolution that problem can be solved.
>>26969416
Nah the scales are more important right now maybe we can change once we get to the last intruder.

>>26969438
I think the communicator is more useful than the grenade and we probably don't know how to use it.

>>26969472
Feathers are better for stealth. But scales protect us from death.

I, personally, want to move away from ambush predator, and become tougher, so we can actually tank hits without getting hurt.

>>26969502
the grenade i meant for use.

>>26969472
I reckon we go stealth on the telepath/psionic/psychic dude, trying to brute force it will only get us fucked up. We can deal with that after the next kill though.

>>26969502
they don't know that though

>>26969509
I find it more fun when we are playing like xenomorhps and going full tank has gotten us hurt and near death too many times.

>>26969426
>Eventually.
>>26969370
>Two arms, two wings, two legs. Your wings do have digits, but it would be awkward to fly while holding things in them, and they're not in a particularly good place to shoot from, or look at. Since they're on your back.
>>26969432
>Paper making is full.
>>26969438
>The armor is quite damaged, you'd need time and effort to find something to basically strap it onto yourself. Also, You don't really have the hips needed to fill it out.

>post incoming.

>>26969552
True but the chance to over hear their plans is to good to give up.

>>26969516
Hard to stealth when he can tell you are there without seeing you.
>>26969564
In fairness thats because we were trying to tank without any real defensive mutations.

>>26969564
We should hold off on the tanking. Tanking is for expendable minions. We should totally have got that mutation from the cyborg ape... Ah well. Eating metal is awesome too.

>>26969603
Oh, I thought we had six legs. My bad.

>>26969603
That's it, next evo I want child-bearing hips.

We broodmother now

>>26969644
I think we had six legs and on pair turned into wings.

>>26969628
Pretty much this. When we started evolving, we became an ambush predator because of our size. We got all caught up in social upgrades though, and when we changed size, we didn't have as many good defenses and weapons as we should have.

>>26969603
>Hips:Increased protection, increased social, Increased sexual finesse

>>26969672
>*one* pair

>>26969628
touche, I forgot about that.

>>26969610
you make a good point, the grenade may do more harm then good.

>>26969628
Also, we tend to fight stupid sometimes. We have acid spit, why are we not spitting at people's eyes using hyper reflexes!?

>>26969672
not the guy you replied to, but I also thought we had 6 legs, fuck the wings, next time we need to shift out another pair of arms.

So am i the only one that still wants to be an ambush predator like The Creeper in Jeapers creepers.

>>26969732
Bioweapons are for emergencies, since we have to recharge them separately. They're useful when we feel outmatched.

with our whip tail, poison and the fact that we like to go on cielings more often then not I thought we were an ambush predator.

>>26969758
Despite the fact that those attacks have been the most successful ones thus far, /tg/ is too impatient for strategy.

>>26969757
We did have 6 legs but two of them became legs and another two became wings.

>>26969757
the wings are hella useful for moving around areas. All we need to do is find another octo our squid for additional limbs.

>>26969785
We are and we get most of our kills though ambush, but there are some of us who want us to be something else.

>>26969757
But But wings!
>>26969758
That dude was also super hard to kill. Besides just because we make ourselves bigger and tougher it doesnt mean we cant still ambush dudes.

>>26969844
True, but he never truly dies based on what we learn in the sequel movie.

>>26969844
We can only steal mutations from others, so, unless we run into some giants, I think 'Medium sized' is as big as we're getting. Which is fine, we can be like those fucked up things from Xcom that inject their acid babies directly into your neck

There is a difference between wanting to turn into a tank and wanting to be able to tank a few hits.

The sad part is that we're quickly reaching biomorph limit. We're either going to need to go up a size or start putting some of our stuff into storage.

Though getting more limbs WILL let us do more.

>>26969821
yeah I guess, our increased bulk sort of dictates that wings are necessary for getting around.

I'd be pretty keen for some tentacles tbh. no tentacle rape pls /tg/

>>26969898
True, but gaining size will be harder for us to hide and just make us bigger targets.

>>26969644
>At one point you did. Then two became wings, and just now you gained two arms.

>Fully healed.
So many things, you can't just leave them here. You snatch up the explosive and the motion sensor with your wings, and hold the phaser and communicator in your hands. You grab the remnants of the silph's armor in your mandibles, and begin dragging it back towards the hangar.

The trip is short and uneventful, filled only with the scraping of ceramic plates and the rubber soled shoes across the matte black surface of your creator's home. You pass the caustic smelling room, and the sounds of mechanical clatter.

The hangar is dimly lit, and many thin walls obscure vision across it. You see smoke rising from the damaged aerodyne, engine apparently still on fire.

The communicator crackles and a voice speaks out from it.

"Struth, you'll never believe what we've found in here."
"What?" You hear the reply coming from both the communicator, and from over the walls near the wreck. It is laced with deliciousness.
"An entire swimming pool, complete with diving board."
"Don't tell me you're stopping for a swim?"
"Yeah, I ain't diving into anything that glows green and bubbles like that."
"Keep searching."

Your hands are full. You are hungry.

>>26969923
i suppose we could move our 'stinger' into one of our limbs.

>>26969880
My dream is to get the ability to consume deliciousness at will, and the ability to remote control non-sentients.

Though acid babies are cool too.

>>26969923
Tigers are pretty big and they are still ambush predators.

>>26969898
Whoa Red, if we become Large size, that requires some heavy thought. I mean, it makes us a huge target, and we probably would have trouble moving around space ships, and junk.

Though, I'm curious if our ability to change biomorphs in the field would let us suddenly decrease size from small to large on the fly, so we could go from stealth to rape assault really fast.

>>26969934
lets rush the psionic

>>26969945
>trouble moving around space ships
will not be a problem once we are space ship size

>>26969934
I am DEEPLY interested in the Psionic as well.
Let's hunt it

>>26969945
Depends on how large large is.

>>26969974
Then we just need to hope for biological jet packs, I guess

>>26969934
is the 'swimming pool' the caustic smelling area?

I vote we go after the bastard near the swimming pool, because we at least know he isn't near the psionic.

Also I vote we drop the armour, it's not needed.

honestly large could mean long instead of bulky. we could be like 10 meter snake or something like that.

I bet that the psion will give us true sentience/control of our body
im also wondering if a bet digestive system will heal us better or if better lungs would make us run faster/longer

>>26969934
Drop the armour near the pool to get them distracted and head for the Psionic
>>26970007
The pool is acid

CAREFULLY, quietly put down armor, communicator, and grenade on the ground.

Carrying the motion tracker and phaser, stalk the delicious voice.

The grenade might cook it, and this one is _extra-delicious_. No risks of losing this meal.

>>26969985
>>26969950
I think it would be wiser to pick them off one by one then deal with the psionic. he is clearly the strongest of the bunch and we don't want to get caught out if his buddies run to his aid.

>>26969995
that is a great idea use our fart'sto propel us a la' tremors

>>26970047
im worried if we kill everyone else the psionic will run into the ship and leave.

>>26970047
Hey, it works for the Zerg

>>26970063
This is also why i think we should go for the psionic and we can also wait on their ship for an ambush.

>>26970063
maybe we should frag the ship if it's landed?

>Large is somewhere between tiger, horse and rhino.
>Further categories include Huge (mammoth) Giant and Spacewhale
>>26970011
>Size is by mass, and only approximate anyway. When you sprout limbs, you technically shrink a little.

You scuttle back down the coridoor, to the caustic smelling room. You cough up some gobs of metal paper and stick the sap ridden armor to the wall opposite, along with an approximation of the 'I want to mate with you' gesture.
>Paper making [0/1]

You scuttle back to the hangar, and pull out the motion detector. The Delicious voice is in the centre of the room and seems to be pacing around the ruined aerodyne. You set down the grenade and phaser, before setting off into the maze of risen walls; there is no sense in wasting this delicious by accident.

You get about halfway across the hangar when the communicator crackles into life.
"I am being hunted." The delicious voice echoes from two sources. "There!"

Then the entire wall in front of you is wrenched off its base and flies toward you, riding a wave of Deliciousness.

You react instantly, ducking to the ground as the wall flies past you. It collides with the walls behind you, and you spring onto it, leaping high into the darkness that shrouds the roof. The Delicious figure in white armor stands beside the ruined air car, three of its four arms thrust towards you, and the last holding a phaser pistol.

It barely gets time to react as you soar down from above and land on it, rolling across the raised platform with it. You end up on the things chest as it lies on its back, your hands are occupied holding the devices, but that is the last thing on your mind.

Driven by pure desire, you clamp your mandibles around the creature's helmet and begin to suck the Deliciousness straight out of it, drinking the delicious power.

But what's this? The deliciousness is putting up a fight! It doesn't want to be eaten. This is new!

>>26970643

We could do both.

>>26970626
A point. I guess we could just go ape on it with all 6 limbs, the tail, and bite down. Tearing things apart has historically been effective at liberating deliciousness.

Your caustic saliva dribbles out of your mouth as you stand there, struggling with forces you don't entirely understand. Drops land on the being's faceplate, hissing as it sears away layers of protective metal.

Your mind struggles to pull, but the Deliciousness is firmly entrenched. You pull and tug, biting with teeth that don't even exist.

The creature below you gains some mental ground, and two of its four arms grab you by the wings. Two more arms start slamming into your chest, punching over and over, bruising your flesh. Just as you feel your rib crack, there is another, louder crack as the faceplate gives way. Your mandibles slice right through and into the creature's face and your fangs sink into the creature's face and eye.

It screams, wailing echoing in the enclosed armor, filling the hangar bay. As its resolve flickers and you gobble up the Deliciousness. It fills you, sates you for just a moment and you feel respite. Then the Hunger returns, fully.

The creature below you twiches as your venom flows to its brain and it dies.

Telekesis is nice, it's a toss up between that, sensing and knowlege as to a second choice.

But battling lets us eat anything delicious. No more needing a 100 to be able to eat things made of rocks, so more cheating AI escaping from the truck when we try to eat it. And the thing our creator tried to feed us? We could have eaten that!

Battling directly enhances our ability to eat.

Delicious Sensing is the best....being able to hunt without line of sight or smell....

Delicious Force is only good if we can draw line of sight.

>Next post might take a little, but there's still a few hours left in the thread.

>>26971045

Delicious Sense allows us to detect prey before we can even see them, thus allowing the setting up of better ambushes and superior hunting skills.

Knowledge allows us to better understand our new-found Deliciousness powers, allowing us to quite possibly expand into Battling and Force.

Essentially....we're taking Psychic Predator Vision and the knowledge of using Psionics over telekinesis (Force) and being able to battle someone's will/mind directly with our own...both of which require line of sight/knowledge of where they are.

>>26971062
>>26971045

Battling sucks, look how well it worked on us.

We're not guaranteed to be good at it without skill, and as a Sapience-Vore, it's REALLY useful to be able to sense meals - particularly hard-to-find meals like those that hide in bodies or that abandon shells.

>>26971084
Knowledge includes theory and practice, though. We can do things, but we lack Finesse.
There's a difference between being able to talk, and being able to lie because we can't do that.
Same goes for muscle memories and skill. Just because we know how to use it doesn't mean we know how to use it the best.
We should go eat an olympic athlete or lifetime martial artist, or hollywood stunt man.

Fuck battling! We have a mouth! and phasers!
Do the math!

>>26971147
You're misreading it I think.

>Deliciousness battling - Attack other delicious creatures with your very self, directly.

We get that, we can TRIGGER the 'I eat their souls' ability. Consciously.

>>26971224
Then get batteling and knowledge.
We need to get one combat mutation out of this.

>>26971172

But we become an even better ambush predator.

Being able to stalk prey without seeing or smelling them is a HUGE advantage.

Being able to realize that there are more than one sentient creature in room A....but there's only one in Room C....whereas before we really wouldn't have that information before it's almost too late (and sometimes it was too late).

It also seems that the Sense may have allowed the Psionic to actually derive our motives (the whole "I'm being hunted" bit), which if true, is an even bigger boon, it'll let us know if what we're stalking is either aware it's being stalked, is on guard, or is oblivious to us.

Telekinesis is nowhere near as useful to us right now, and with the knowledge gained from psionics, we may be able to develop it at a later date.

There is nothing in battling that says it will allow us to eat things like that AI or that hivemind.

Rolled 86

>>26971200
A surprise attack and intense pain like what our poison did is more than enough to stop them from escaping in their minds.
>>26971266
Sensing is already combat orientated and plus while using battling whats to stop some one from attacking us.

>>26971277
It says "Attack other delicious creatures with your very self, directly.".

AIs are delicious creatures.

>>26971270
>It also seems that the Sense may have allowed the Psionic to actually derive our motives (the whole "I'm being hunted" bit), which if true, is an even bigger boon, it'll let us know if what we're stalking is either aware it's being stalked, is on guard, or is oblivious to us.

This is why Delicious Sense is important.

Plus we want to be able to hear what our creator is REALLY thinking.

>>26971235
What about the things that can leave their bodys? Like that thing in the truck or the thing our creator tried to feed us?

>>26970727
>>Delicious sensing - Find nearby Delicious things, even if you can't see, hear or sense them.
>>Deliciousness battling - Attack other delicious creatures with your very self, directly.

>>26971313

Then sense is even MORE important, because we can find out where they are REALLY tele-operating from.

>>26971266

No, we don't.

And you're far too narrow in your definition of "combat".

Being able to set up ambushes...that's part of combat. Anybody who says otherwise is a dumbass who doesn't know the first thing about combat.

Combat is not just damage dealing. If you think that...leave now.

Combat is also positioning, planning, knowledge of your enemy, tactics, and strategy if you're going long-term.

She is, actually. She's just a 'strange' type of deliciousness in a way we don't understand. Which could mean she's psionic herself, or she's completely fucked up mentally. Or she's partially an AI or something.
Or all three.

Is there a way to speed up the recharge and how long does sense last, since its the obvious first pick.

>>26971354

We had this conversation already! She IS delicious! But not anymore. Tainted delicious.

Because hahaha she makes bioweapons for a hobby, of course she has ware/tech/augments that make us not want to eat her.

Being able to sense her thoughts/motives - especially when she's trying to goad us into doing her bidding with a carrot lets us get the upper hand on her.

And we also know she made us unable to stop being hungry, just not how. Taking control of our hunger is the first step to throwing off her shackles, and reading her mind - especially when she doesn't know we can do it - is the first step to THAT.

Rolled 29

>>26971429
Plus we need to mate and she is the closest female we have.

>>26971429
We CAN stop being hungry. We just did a moment ago. The problem is we keep eating morsels. The obvious conclusion is we need to find a 'world mind' scale AI and eat it.

>>26971342
Yes but we still need to be able to dish out damage. What have we? Claws, fangs a stinger tail and poision. What if we run into another fire thing and we dont have an acid spitting gun on hand? What if we run into another psionic guy and we dont roll a 100? What if we get ambushed and dont have anywhere to hide?

You're thinking like you're stuck in last thread.

Rolled 58

>>26971547
we have more sense and battling then force.

>>26971507

Except that with the Sense, we won't be ambushed unless something shuts it down, which is highly unlikely.

We still have plenty of damage dealing potential.

And if you actually play it smart, you won't run into the fire thing again without knowing beforehand...because SENSE!

The Psionic will sense us....and then sense that we sense him....he loses a major advantage he had over us...and that would be attacking us without us knowing he's there. Then we just physically attack him instead of psychically.

>>26971547

So, what? knowledge and tiebreaker vote?

>>26971565
There's only one way to find out! More info is always good.
Also, since she's not psionic herself, that seems unlikely.

Or, if she did, its probably the key behind why we find her untasty - and being able to see past it is also incredibly useful.

You were assigned to the military. Perfect for you. Missions go well. Untrusted by all, due to your strange powers. Cast out. Mercenaries pay well. Don't ask questions.
