Last time in Mutant Hivemind Quest our heroes took part in an epic battle. One of whom was lost forever smoking his last cigar while beating the enemy to death with his own arm. Meanwhile we have a rather large threat descending on our base. Of whom is most interested in our Broodmother and saving her...from us. Luckily it is willing to communicate but the Arch Brood King will be here in two turns time. We have also acquired ourselves a new crystal Hero!

In other news the ghouls have sent us an envoy.

Hero wise the Prophet has a rough idea of 1 problem the creature stated...mostly that it came down to not thinking or planning properly. Maybe.

Alexis the Huntress meanwhile doesn't really care as in is more concerned with Giggles at the moment.

Torg meanwhile is building a gigantic bomb for reasons unknown.

The new crystal hero meanwhile has severed itself from the Hivemind and is busy meditating.

Richard and Clora'Zel are still busy for another two turns.

Accept the offer of Necrotic ghoul Reaver(ravager) and his pack?

Apparently he has heard word of us and is most interested. That and his forces can't exactly move as easily as they used to thanks to the whole cold war deal going on between the Bandits and other Ghouls.

last night the main concern was the giant monster feeling railroady with it trying to change how we do things.

then people brought up how our xenophobia was hurting us and i pointed out how it wasnt and we are in line to becomeing one of the dominant forces in the area/ and some people were saying that if we had been trading and been open with the outside world we would have been as strong as the faction that just killed the brood mother. then there was some complaining about how you never got back to us on some trade deals and how the traders havent been here in forever. then peopl were saying that we were being mindless because we made mistakes and there was a bunch of other shit as well

I checked the archives. As for why traders are not showing up the swamp is flooded with ghouls and even new breeds of monster. They don't know how to deal with that well so they're not really showing up. Plus you can trade with the hillbillies why the fuck do you think the reps are there? You just got to trade them something they want.

As for railroady you always got a choice. Its just that the setting isn't static. Things change even if you are not aware of it. Plus you don't even have to do anything about what it says. Its just concerned in its own strange way about Clora'zel and it plans to do something about it.
>>
>>27353404
There is a lot of shit that isn't in the archives because no one archived again at the end

Guess I go through and clear some stuff up from last thread from when I left.

First of all I don't mind if you are playing xenophobic evil fucks. I DO however expect you to be smart about it as that type of play gets you killed REAL fast if you are not. In fact I was happy about the whole not star-guard deal.

Markus left because you were no longer good business. Other heroes too may leave or even betray you. After all they all have their reasons for sticking around...or not.

>>27353475
I posted some of what they had as for what they want I stated what their interested in. Mostly things that kill or you could try offering them something else.

>>27353544
I may end up having to use Richard for that again. His pure SCIENCE take tends to perfect for that sorta thing. Problem is he isn't psionic so really confirm or test out anything that he suspects when it comes to the Hivemind. He has a rough idea despite that problem though.
>>
>>27353582
Well we aren't pure evil. I think we've settled on a neutral "we will expand, you can either join us or perish" kind of thing.Peaceful assimilation is also what will happen to any we temporarily ally with. Betrayal is also a small possibility
>>
>>27353582
Could Marcus come back if we fixed price report up a bit

We also need to ask all of our heros their goals. We know Richards and Prophets and Torg is pretty simple. Let's ask crystal, broodmother, Alexis and the New Ghoul and who ever else

Rolled 49

>>27353791
...your leaning pretty heavily towards evil. Like at least bandits don't mind-rape you into joining them tier evil. As for expansion your not doing it smartly people don't like the concept of hiveminds they will fight real hard to maintain themselves. Your 'assimilation' is terrifying to them and your not nice/clever about it. This makes it even so much worse. The only reason your still around is because you have only dealt with the rejects and scum. Once you are no longer dealing with just them you will perish.

>>27353887
Markus will only return if you are good for business.

Crystal Is meditiating its goal is no know more about the world.

Broodmother goal is to attend to her brood.

Alexis goal merely wishes to hunt and roam.

Necrotic ghoul former Reaver and now Ravager known as Voss was once a member of the most infamous and worst tier of bandit the Reavers. Basically he just wants to do as a the worst tier of ghoulish bandit does. Only recent he got disqualified as Reaver is do them him dying then rising up as a necrotic ghoul with then found himself with a pack. Who despite his best efforts couldn't get rid of said pack so he got disqualified. Something that is he most certainly sore about. After all Reavers have to be solo because their literally so fucking vile that not even the worst of bandits what to work with them.
>>
>>27354120
Well the hivemind will be perfect for crystal dude, cause it is better to have access to ten thousand eyes tha. n just 2

I don't see how we're that evil. As far as doing it "smartly" how would you suggest? We are building ourpsionics so that we may compete with our neighbors, I'm suggesting we work on making our assimilation process a lot more subtle. Fleshbeasts can be mass produced if we get into a serious war. The spiders will help with resources collection and military and research. What else?
>>
>>27354120
I suggest we send that sick fuck on some sort of suicide mission soon, he will destroy our rep beyond repair.

We assimilate because we don't wish to kill them, we want to show them the glory of the hivemind

>>27354428

See that's why I'm constantly a proponent of more friendly/not scary tactics.
Everything begins with choice. Even if that choice is at a near unconcscious level.

>>27354514
I don't understand it though, technically nobody of e. For the experienced we can't use it, but for those on who it works why would such tactics be a a bad idea? All we are is offering cake and sitting down to have a nice chat. It's basically the same as asking only giving a little bit of a push.

Subliminal messaging can't be bad when used correctly right? We live with it everyday.

>Smar/tg/uy here

Might i kindly suggest we investigate the tunnels for the hivemind creatures down there that've been poisoning our hivemind from the start? The Prophet is compromised, not in a hostile way, he's just the nexus of the hivemind so he was top priority to get tricked.

They did and you REALLY need to figure something out about that. Like reasoning with or something. You know figuring out your actions.

Look, we need to keep Voss. First of all I'm not sure the "Turn isn't over, we haven't actually accepted him" argument works, but also he will whip our bandits into shape and assure their loyalty.

Also, his loyalty is guaranteed until our rep turns good. Since we don't have any immediate avenues for improving our rep (and because we can send him on a suicide mission as soon as we do) we should take him. The benefits far outweigh the penalties (penalties being nonexistent as we're already worse than his reputation).

Heroic bonus
Our engineers were stuck on it. You know they didn't even have anything but heavy tank railguns to start with much less make it psionic...and miniaturized it. It didn't end well not enough crystals to boot. Only breakthrough occured with the new hero uprooted some crystals, which assembled themselves midair, with some metal spikes molted themselves into rods/clip once he was done mediating and fired it off before looking at our engineers and stated.

"More crystals are required."

After that a crystal throne grew and the new sat down upon, then started tinkering with some floating crystals ignoring our forces.

Meanwhile our forces created more Fixer spiders.

You have engineers they just aren't heroes.

You are describing technology.

Design of the barrel

Preventing overload or too much strain on the crystals, as well as inevitable recoil
Actually knowing how it interacts with physical material and trajectories

Because that's how you create effective weaponry. You can discover a phenomenon, learn how to activate it, but it takes some technical skill to weaponize it. They see a crystal push an object, someone is gonna need the know how of how to create a configuration that results in a directed force. It took more than a knoweldge of electromagnetism to create conventional railguns at all, you also needed to take into account the other specifications.

Richard here

Alright you fucking morons you know some of the problems your oh so precious Hivemind been having? You know how memories and shit are passed around between you? Well guess what that also means the things pass around ALSO fucking taints you. The very thing you are so PROUD of is literally poisoning you. Basically all the major faults/grudges of the previous generations are passed on despite their efforts because its STRONG. You can only block so much. This means you use the benefit being able to change rapidly with the generations. It strangles as their locked in a quagmire. Powerful Hatred, loss ect. is passed on..builds up. Forms a toxic cloud throughout the hivemind tainting EVERYTHING. Which just so happens ALSO works as an excellent smoke screen. Mind blank doesn't do you shit if they just go through use the taint to mask themselves. You would literally never ever know period.

So here are you crazy fucks so very proud of the everything that will lead to your doom. Despite the so called 'benefits' others have to start nearly from scratch since birth. They don't just 'start' with everything they need. They can be influenced and helped but not that is it. While it is slower it also serves to minimize the bad while maximizing the good. That little short cut you are just SO fond is fucking you over. As the problem is it directly carries on the burdens of the old to new. The burdens while seemingly beneficial will eventually break your back leading to you dying so very slowly.

For the reason is simple.

The Grudges and faults of the past are supposed to stay there. Not be carried along with know how/experience just because its easier. Because taking the easy way will always end up biting you in the ass eventually.

>>27356909
Instead of growing up to be their own person, they are imprinting life of a previous generation. This includes the baggage that person had.

The cloud taints everything. It is the very memories you pass on and rely upon. Quite the problem to fix. It basically clouds the entire Memor in a toxic soup...problem is they never realized it because it always seemed to be that way.

The other problem is you being not so smart with plans for expansion and 'assimilation'.

It's not that we can get rid of them, we need our people to develop their own sense of morality, what they believe is good or bad, first rather than the hivemind tell them.

Yes but age and experience determines how you react to these mindless feelings.
If you are still young you believe without a doubt "hate the bandits" "this is the right thing because everyone believes it so"

Not all emotions. Grudges. Stereotypes. Things which are only detrimental to us. We can train our children to resist, supress them in both themselvse and others, such things and better the mind as a whole.

Thinking with emotion over rationality is never the way to go.

We have crystals that can store thought patterns, right? Why don't we have the Prophet shunt all of our hatred into some of those? We'll do it periodically to make sure too much never builds up.

The test of when one can become a Memor will be when they think they're ready to glance, for a moment, into the racial hatred of all of Us. Of course they'd never expose themselves to all of it at once, they'd get to gauge their preparedness based on looking at a sample of hate-crystal first.

Gotta be careful the hate-crystals never animate on us though. Don't want a Tabula Rasa of ULTIMATE HATE AND DESPAIR.

And that's the problem, because the opposite can be entirely true as well.
There are memories out there that on their own, even without remember emotion, can invoke their own. Memories that by themselves create a sense of grudge, hatred, anger.

no, it would be a "he didnt like bandits" and if you met a bandit that changed things for you then no you wouldnt hate them. you own experiences and the emotions wil obviously be more real than those of otheres, as every mind is inherently different and the thoughts of one will rarely match with the thoughts of another

Not quite either.

Also it depends on consent of sharing experiences, which naturally in a hivemind few people really care. Generally speaking, nobody gives a shit when you take a shit.

They value privacy, but certainly to a lesser degree than humans. The heroes value privacy the most.

It is. You're losing an entire spectrum of emotion that one so near and dear to you had and that you've known for so long. You can no longer confirm that they loved you, only say so.

And yeah, not only can they have instant discussion they have instnat resolutions
>"Can you imagine, a polar issue like abortion, being debated by every single person in the nation simultaneously, where everyone instantly see's everyone else's point of view and resolves differences, not through slow words that can be misinterpreted, but pure logic and rational thought, and an agreed consensus that fits everyone is achieved all in minutes."

Alexis disappeared with 24 Tectus will be gone for 5 turns for a long range scouting mission.

Tabula Rasa meanwhile...this is gonna take a bit of writefaggotry explaining.

Production
we don't really know how to produce more crystals.


You are Tabula. Right now you figured out how to create memory crystals...but you don't have enough. It should help problem is however the already existing corruption even if you had enough crystals. And mind wiping wont work cause it will destroy everything in the process.

So Tabula you don't got enough space for all the memories right?

Yeah not enough space.

How about I tell you I can get enough and to store the memories to boot. Without crystals.

How do you plan to do that.

Data storage and memory copying.

Doesn't that contain all the important data not to mention not nearly enough space?

Watch this. That was when Richard pressed a very simple button called delete. The only thing that anyone could hear was the psionic screams of the Hivmind in pain and misery.

What the FUCK did you delete, asked Rasa after he/she got over the scream despite not being apart of the hivemind before seeing Richard's memory.

Porn file deleted.

Why is porn really that important?

Clearly you have no idea how much people love their porn.

But to take so much space...

Well now we have a place to store it temporarily.

You know they are all gonna hate you right? Plus didn't you use it too?

No I sorta lost all those faculties since my transformation not to mention my porn wasn't on that server.

Oh they are REALLY gonna hate you.

Heh wait till you see what memory storage and mindwiping entails.


Meanwhile for some reason Torg was lining explosive materials throughout the base...when asked about what he was doing his only answer was-

"EXPLOSIONS FIX EVERYTHING". They then promptly detonated.
>>
>>27359341
>>27359356
Yeah, it's for the good of our people.
It's gonna be pretty gutwrenching though.

Two lovers who once could literally feel their love for each other, making it only exponentially stronger as they confirm each other every waking moment. Not only in death must they separate, they must now surrender the treasured and intense memories of the love they once shared.

General history is the one publicly shared to all.

Thanks to therapy bandits are active once more as well as Clora'zel. Everyone else on the other hand...losing all that porn and the cloud that was such an integral part of the Hivemind. The double whammy seems like its just too much...

Tabula Rasa has been found staring intently at the crystals as apparently he is supposed to make them grow...without knowing how. So at the moment he is trying to give them the evil eye and force them to magically sprout up...without actually having any eyes. He is most certainly trying though.

Worker bots are busy at work.

>>27360071
Didn't have any place was completely empty for hours in the beginning. Next time I am gonna avoid Saturdays. Fridays seem to be good still need to check out Sundays though.


In any case the Arch Brood King has arrived...only to settle his great bulk over the entirety of our facility perimeter included. While Unleashing a devastating shriek that could be detected throughout the entire swamp and more.

His excuse being that you needed to some protection as your forces recovered from the trauma. He seemed most mighty amused about the whole thing. Stating that he could allow Clora'Zel to stay but not without his temporary protection as you recover. After that he stated that the remnants of Spawn will begin to arrive citing that her sister can't control them all and the ones way out here are to far out to be of much use to him or her sister anyway. The rest of them he sent of somewhere else doesn't cite where though. We also got our pilot hero back for some reason. Granted she was comatose but it seemed the autopilot took care of rest.
