Also, considering how closer we edge to the pop/strength required for the national border with each chapter gonna post this proposal I drew up. If anyone has objections, concerns, or additions your input is greatly valued.

Operation "Market Garden"

>Phase 1 - Tilling
After the establishment of a national borders,insurance to stability of the territory within, and after the area has been properly deforested and drained, efforts shall be undergone as to the beautification, cultural enhancing, and general improvement of conditions to facilitate livelihood. That is, the creation of roads, lawns, and construction of recreational facilities. Of great importance is the establishment of expanded farming and agricultural systems in the new land as well, complete with Dr. Claires botanical expertise.Though initially this will be done with the full weight of our construction crews, later it is a mere matter of spiderborgs and spiderborg ST's to maintain it all.

Sidenote: Possible inclusion of non hivemind allies within the territory or creation of border towns of equal value of existing Ghoul/Bandit towns, to remove the difficulty of having to completely clear the territory within tier 1 border.

>>27522135
>Phase 2 - Telling
The territory shall be proclaimed a neutrality zone, a sanctuary and safe haven for all manner of sentient creature willing to orderly participate. Friends or foes, all conflict and machines of war must be left outside the borders. Just as none can become a Memor with animosity in ones heart, so too can none enter the neutrality zone with violence in his mind. Refugees of all kinds are welcome to stay, those willing to stay permanently have the incentive of a hearth and home, once joining the mind. Those who do not wish to join may/must leave in peace after a time.

Advertising shall also take place. This is especially directed at those with items to trade or willing to conduct trade within our borders. As such this is especially marketed towards prospective caravans wishing to set up shop or find refuge in the swamp. The creation of a centralized market and bazaar shall be a priority. In addition we shall also make effort as a major refueling station, seeing as how we have great biofuel facilities and access to much biomaterial. Tarrifs and tolls shall be appropriated where deemed necessary.

>Phase 3 - Selling
Upon completion of phase 2, final efforts shall be made to maximize profits and gains. These include the numerous "recreational facilities", replica's of the lovenest, where guests of all can find many different forms of entertainment. Food, alchohol, and all manner of women with the peak collective knowledge of our race the great sensual deletion. In addition, other forms of entertainment are also encouraged, such as the potential of building arena's for the combatative sports, and coordination with local bandits for the annual Bandit Games

This is yet another incentive to convince potential recruits to stay as well as put in good word for our nation.In short, we have the potential to benefit of trade, recruitment, and bettered reputation from all nation. And establishing a place that everyone would be discontent if threatened

>Bioborg STs have largely been completed research wise.
So we can presume the following are true?

Was thinking of new names for ease of nomenclature/differentation of borgspiders and BorgST's.
>Constructor - Fixer equivalent. An assortment of heavyduty construction implements. Armed with buzzsaws,cranes, claws, bulldozer blade, backhoe loader, riveting guns, and dumpbucket, and an assortment of industrial implements for the processing of meat, scrap, or dirt. As the fixer, can make repairs to other ST's and even larger vechs on the field. As such repairs may no longer take an action move to make but rather be automated.
>Matriarch - Mother equivalent. Nearly an SST in her own right, most powerful of the BorgST's. Manufactures eggs from consumed flesh/steel. Carries dozens of proto borgST's on its back as the const/fix spiders nurture them
>Webber - Webby equivalent. Chews foilage/monster meat into one of strongest material on earth. Where webbers could seal leaks in machinery pipes, this one can seal leaks in dams or river banks, in groups capture even a great monster. Sticky webs wrek havoc on enemy machinery and all manner of legged things.
>Bomb Layer - Feeler equivalent. rather than mines, lays large bombs of the type to combat vehicles and monsters.
>Leaper - Jumper equivalent. A leaping tank. With great jaws that snap tree's like twigs in seconds. Entirely offensive, close quarters, on par with even normal swamp monster.With cooperation with Webbers also dig itself into a trapdoor, and lure in unsuspecting enemy tanks into a deathtrap.

>>27522348
>Leaper ST capable of being retrofitted with the older ST variants (Bandit, Artillery, Plasma, Laser, and Transport). Once refitted it loses the self replicable bonus, but gain a significant weapon and pilot training bonus.This process is carried out by the fixer-constuctor cooperation for maximum resource gathering/upgrading efficiency with relatively low cost.
>BorgST's are connected to Richards hivenet for complete cooperation and synchronization with the existing Spiderborg network.
>Repairs/replacements/construction of other BorgST's are carried out automatically by both Fixer spiders and Constructor ST's and no longer require a basic move.
>Spiderborgs are also capable of, rather than laying another borgST egg in a monster corpse, laying an egg filled with a mother or hundreds of normal borgST's and starting a nest

Alert

Doctor Claire is currently visiting the bunker overhauling their farms much to Burk's annoyance.

Ghouls who were former zombies. Are basically blank slates according to Irewin. So long as they stay fed they wont go feral...problem is there may not be enough food to go around. Which leads to survival of the fittest scenario. Our armaments have been exhausted in our own facilities. There was such a demand for them we even had to tap into the Bunker stores. Currently they are busy fending feasting upon nearby zombie hordes, constructing their dens, and acquiring vehicle wrecks for ghoulish conversion.

The new type of mutant ghouls we have sent samples to Richard. He has promised to look into zombie strains and these new types. In that regard we already got a message. Apparently somehow the zombie mutants got ghoulified. Which is normally non existent. It seems a mutation may have occurred with either the ghoulish pathogen itself or the wrong zombie mutation had an unfortunate side effect. Either way unlike most ghouls who are human like somewhat...mutant types are not. At best their a twisted humanoid. Most of them are beastly if not outright monstrous .

Retrofitting of BioBorg STs is not currently possible. We do have a prototype available however.

Monster corpses cannot produce Spiderborgs even with eggs. Nest occurance is rather strange. Considering the hostility of the swamp nests to stick close to our settlements for protection otherwise they would be overwhelmed.

As is however it is worth noting that though they can reproduce it requires resources.

Reason why food is so low is assimilating the new ghouls we have acquired. They can feed themselves to a degree but they sorta have to be trained first to be of much use.

Already used it last thread.

Dr. Clair has made some breakthroughs for a our food production as 'now safe for human consumption'! Other then that our farms got overhauled with whatever the hell it is that she figured out how to make. Even managed to get Clora'Zel to take a look and improve on even more...though our farms are kinda overgrown thanks to that.

Basic 2 most monsters are editable especially if you got a mutant or even ghoul gut. Hell even humans can consume most monsters to a degree. Some however are quite toxic even for mutants.

Ghouls have been handed off to nearby ghoul factions in exchange for some armaments. Or at least that was supposed to happen as it turns out ghouls fucking HATE slavery, when you try to sell them their own especially when they are sentient still. As it turns out they only 'enslave' other creatures for food. While they view ferals as pets. Basically they are more then a little pissed at us at the moment nor did we get our ghouls back for that matter.

Lesson learned today. Ghouls may like eating people but they don't like slavery unless for food.

Whoa we started enslaving sentients? I thought we were collecting ferals and trading like before. When did we decide to do that?

>>27523155

There's not really time for that. If we don't reinforce the ghouls now then we're going to be facing the full force of the gigantic zombie horde (and our military is a pittance against their) before the Coalition even begins.

Also, EDE noted that we would have to develop a new type of Bioborg ST if we wanted automatic resource collection. We have a new prototype (of our specification, I believe, though EDE didn't explicitly say so) available.

Now may not be the best time though, what with our one flank about to imminently buckle, and the other also being close to buckling and held by a bunch of swarthy dishonorable do-no-gooders.

Erm. . .that idea is noted.

I think their morale is perfectly fine, their ferocity is tied to their hunger and survival skills. Plus I'm not sure they'd be fond of that nor do we have the reach. What we should do if we're going for immediate military air is deal with the zombie camp to the east that's pinning the both of us down.

We've tried ve to pry at that particular hive loads of times though, and each time we sent a scout they barely made it out with their skins.

What we can do is possibly upgrade our radioactive abilities. The Novakon are a good base for some kind of radiation generating creation by Clora or Richard.
We could shower the hive with artillery produced by them and give us and the gouls a big bonus.

Rolled 64

>>27523334

That's a good idea, what do we use to do it? We have a considerable for of fleshbeasts (though Clora is currently depressed), and a hefty force of feral ghouls (though Irewin, their leader, was recently trapped in a zombie hive and blew it up with a nuke somehow...so he may not be the most willing to go back into one).

>Spiderborg Spewer and BorgST Sprayer - Armed with a stinger and spraying glands/hoses. Anti-Flesh dedication. Holds two tanks filled with highly caustic alkali and acid, respective, as well as an array of other poisons we have developed that can be sprayed at great distance. Melt their flesh right off the bones, and then melt the bones. Our biofacilities should be able to produce chemicals in great number.
>Tactics include spraying into monsters eyes, jumping on monsters as webbers cocoon them and stining them with anisthetics for captures/take downs, and melting/sabotaging enemy vechs. Acid/Alkali combo very effective against enemy flesh.

>>27523334
I'm still havn't completely caught up on the archive but I Think I've read enough to know somewhat what I'm talking about (though more recent events are kind of iffy for me)
I'm going to propose (again) some new mutations.
1. Increased fertility
2. Giving birth to tripplets instead of single Babies.
3. The ability for the consensus to override the wishes of individuals of the hivemind (to stop rogues or derranged individuals. can also be used to create a suicide solder if the need is great)

and to make 2 new races.
1. The artificial womb whose role is soley to take the eggs and sperm of other races and give birth to working Youngs that is 100% the donors race and has no relation to the Young other than having carried it to fruition.
2. small hivemind nodes to be connected to bioborgs, tanks etc etc to remove the need for pilots and instead directly connect them to the hivemind to be controlled that way. also prevents any possible betrayal by Richard from being as fatal as it could be.

We should also research a reliable killswitch for our old doomsday virus, so that we can release containers of it and having it wipe out all organics in a 1km radius etc. or having it replicate itself x times which would lead to a certain lifetime for the virus etc. This would lead to us actually being able to use the virus in fights and as a terror weapon without having to risk wiping out all Life (that should still be a backup plan while we hide in bunkers)

I was rethinking the idea of the "Silent Megaphone" devices. In addition to the psionic blast that is like nails on chalkboards x1000, we can also add high powered subwoofers for actual physiological disorientation and compound the debilitating effect.
>Since we don't hear infrasonic frequencies very well, we are often unaware of exactly how loud the sounds are. At 130 dB, the inner ear will start undergoing direct pressure distortions unrelated to normal hearing, which can affect your ability to understand speech. >At about 150 dB, people start complaining about nausea and whole body vibrations, usually in the chest and abdomen. By the time 166 dB is reached, people start noticing problems breathing, as the low-frequency pulses start impacting the lungs, reaching a critical point at about 177 dB, when infrasound from 0.5 to 8Hz can actually drive sonically induced artificial respiration at an abnormal rhythm. In addition, vibrations through a substrate such as the ground can be passed throughout your body via your skeleton, which in turn can cause your whole body to vibrate at 4–8Hz vertically and 1–2Hz side to side

Increased fertility and giving birth to triplets instead of single babies are under the same purview of "increased fertility".

The hivemind already, for practical purposes, overrides the will of the individual. Our soldiers are suicide soldiers. That's actually the only reason we can still find people to pilot our vehicles

We already have the artificial womb race, we acquired that when we acquired Clora'Zel, EDE mentioned it last thread.

The hivemind nodes idea is good, though I'm not sure the hivemind works like that. I think that we would essentially have to breed a brain and integrate it into the vehicles as biotech in order for them to not need/get bonuses from having a pilot. Also, Bioborgs are already integrated into the Hivenet, so we can see what they see and direct their movement to a degree.

The doomsday virus may or may not be feasible. Everyone that's anyone of import in this day and age seems to have means of neutralizing biological agents.

Spiderborgs and SpiderborgST's. But the sheer number of them is what prevents that, as well as the swamp being hostile to even the more powerful insects the size of vehicles. We actually have fleshbeast mosquitoes, but their not entirely apt for that kind of effect and their as big as we can make them and still fly. The swamp is too dangerous for that type of creature to survive.

Maybe Richard could borgify one and give it a computer brain. We'll have to do that shit in the hellhole though in case, well, hell breaks loose.

Hmm, how about chaning it to an insect that hijacks the zombies neurollogical system at the spine perhaps? And obeys the hivemind, instant mindcontrolled zombies. And we could also change them to affect other creatures, And perhaps make it so that they procreate a Little inside the host and then when Another potential host is nearby they are released to infect that one as well. From that we could due to exponential growth soon have entire zombie swarms under our controll. And potentially other creatures. And since they are inside the zombies they need not fear a lot of the predators that would otherwise hunt them.

What you're proposing is that we make a disease that zombifies zombies into hivemind-zombies.

Well. virus bomb the zombies ( I assume they are one of the few factions that don't have immunity. seeing as they are pretty mindless and genetically stable) to solve that problem and then go on researching?
Or if we've already researched that bug earlier it should be a lot easier and faster making an improved version of it now. we might want to add in some kind of buffer that takes the brunt of the psychic force that comes from forcing something like that.

Not sure how old mindcontroll bugs worked. But if these just hijack the neurological system the host won't be part of the hivemind and risk affecting it. just the bug that uses the host like a puppet will be part of the hivemind. just like any of the other races in it. just saying ^^

>Pic related, what the zombies will be like with our new brainbugs

Hmm. I'm just brainstorming right now. But couldn't we possibly in the future create either a powerful mutagen, or a bug to carry a mutagen and infect the watersupplies etc of the human cities to make the humans mutate a receptibility for the hivemind and a natural tendency to link up to it. Our population could skyrocket if this works out. Then we could easilly mutate those into what we want them to be, or have them take any Resources they could to us, etc.
This won't be like a mindcontroll bug since the humans will be mutated into a being that seeks to join. The whole consentual joining part can easilly be bypassed by having the mutation include obsessive tendencies towards the instictive joining with the hivemind.
If there is a reason this wouldn't work please tell me ^^ just trying to come up with lots of stuff that could help us in hopes that some of them would work.

This method is also unlikely to be discovered for atleaso some time and therefore continue to be effective seeing as any successfull operation with this would also erase any evidence of them existing.

We have those. The Fixer spiders, and the Constructor BorgST's.

The issue is they often also have countermeasures.

Still, I can imagine how kickass they are when they can do that.

>One of the favorite tactics of Leaper ST's is to load itself up with hundreds of fixers and jumpers on its back, who will cling on tight. It leaps onto an enemy tank or monster and uses its huge jaws to rip through the carcass and open up a hole, where then the hundreds of spiders on its back pour in on the unlucky tank pilots or sensitive innards of the monster. After this, the spiders use the corpse or the wreck and salvage it for resources to multiply.

>>27524543
Hmm, that's why we add some kind of acid or other ways to force an entrance in some hard to see parts of the vehicle. These would not be in combat creatures, these would be let lose Days or weeks Before battle is joined so they have plenty of time to do what they need to. and then either when sufficient of them have breached their targets or they have started being discovered they all go off at once, either to just take them out. or to create confusion and an edge for our attack that comes then.

The fixers are armed with all sorts of cutting implements, blades, saws, slicers, powerful jaws.

>>27524625
Guys, there's also another issue about the serum.
All it does is open up people to being persuaded, and this must be done in the vinicty of Clora's aura and have actual people trying to persuade them to open up.

And in addition, it SEVERELY pisses off people with the intelligence and experience who can detect it. Like we nearly had 1000 bandits revolt on us because we tried it and they wised up to it. Sure it'll work on the weaker willed, but then we still have to get them to come out our base.

Developing it for use in our base is a good idea, so long as we filter the strong from weak minded.

>>27524712
yes. just forgot to roll thinking we had 3 rolls on it with probable success, not wanting ro risk the 1 :p
We wouldn't need the Giant novakons seeing as regular ones would do just as fine if we corral the zombies towards them with silent megaphones, lures etc.

No, that was the mutation serum. We gave them the mutation serum (without them knowing it) and had Clora under the floor trying to persuade them to want to join the hivemind.

I agree though, we should keep it in the base unless we have specific targets.

>>27524737
In theory the hivenets range is 2500 miles. The issue isn't that they can't act on it's own. The issue is the swamp and tunnels are far to hostile for them to survive. Most of the existing nests surround our base for a reason.

Under better circumstances, they'd probably populate the swamp ages ago.

>>27524737
exactly :D this anon knows what's up.

>>27524743
well, we could just make it part of the mutation. make it a natural part of their biology. a simple instinctual craving.
>>27524774
That's why we take them OUT of the swamp to cities etc and let them flourish.

>>27524773
No actually we didn't give them the mutation serum, we offered it to those who were willing to join the mind. The mutation serum just helps them mutate faster.
If we just fed it to them without them accepting first, we would have people mutating who might not want to join, and that's just incriminating evidence against us. We offer it to them after they accept.

They were mad about detecting Clora's call to them, but mostly because they were elites and experienced enough to detect it.

But why? What good is doing that to people who sometimes fall out of the hiveminds grasp?
Our heroes have extra privacy priveleges and sometimes drop in and out on secret missions.

Also there is no such thing as a "forced" conversion. All conversions to the mind must be done with a willing heart and consent. In addition there is already and absolute loyalty garauntee for all normal hivemind members, as well as Memor already feel aboslutely lonely and depressed when away from the mind.

Here, let me post the estalbished Memor Rules.

1.) Broodmother can now convert humans to mutant and join hivemind with telepathic ease. Not garaunteed but just "encouraging". Addition of other efforts to win hearts and minds still recommended. Offspring of these normal converted concieve and grow up in the Memor manner and don't degenerate the genepool.
2. Artificial breeder feasble. Can be useful for generating soldiers in quick sucession, but these should not be allowed to breed or risk degredation of future generations.
3. Broodmother discovered in underground facility. Increases fertility rate of reproduction and intercourse in her broodnest vicinity. Releases juices especially useful for healing, but which cannot be stored and must be used in her vicinity as well.
4. Absolute control of base functions and robots by A.I. restored.
5. Hivemind membership is by consent and mutation, all entirely easy thanks to broodmother. Once joined of volition, loyalty is, in practice, assured. The hivemind does not allow for slavery of it's members within the hivemind, crimes are nigh difficult, and major actions within the hivemind are monitored and by consent of the hivemind masses

6. Certain hero units have the strength and willpower to hide their thoughts from the hive-mind, even massive plots and secrets. This can lead to mistakes and unseen actions and conspiracies by the heroes, but the rest of the Memor masses do not and should not be feared of treason or action without hive-mind consent or supervision.
7. New strain of supervirus by Richard. One strain been deemed feasible for battle purposes.
8. The hivemind/overmind is capable of surviving without the presence of the Prophet of fate.
9. Radiation now heals. Don't ask how. It's mutation I ain't gotta explain.
10. Broodmother aura vicinity can make everything work better, organics, machines and all.
11. Broodmother's subliminal "encouraging" can be used to increase convert turnout, however expect increased dissent among those with the experience or intelligence to detect it, and vice versa. The more experience the more likely they will pick up, while conversely the less experienced the less they will pick up. As such, populations used by the Broodmother (and any other psionic/subliminal/chemical) methods should be used on a group where they would not be likely to pick up, or where dissent by the rejectors would not pose a serious issue.

>>27524891
>Also there is no such thing as a "forced" conversion. All conversions to the mind must be done with a willing heart and consent.

If your very being screams out for the hivemind like a junky craving the next fix there will be "willing and constentual" conversions, even from people that loathe us. If it's giving in to an urge or constantly having to deal with mental ( maybe physical as well?) anguish that is so powerfull you'd rather kill yourself than experience it any longer I know which one I'd pick. Sure, some of them might kill themselves rather than join up, but if it's just giving in to instict they might not even know they've joined until it's to late, and even if they knew, most people would join anyway just to make the anguish go away. That would be willing.
Sure we might not get everyone, but we would get many more than we do now. And we'd get our enemies and people with power if we do it correctly. So make it airborne, Mosquitoe borne etc so we can deploy it in cities and BAM thousands of conversions.

So basically, you get mortally wounded by a ghoul you either become one or die if you're not immune.
And Radiation means more ghouls. less zombies.

Command overview commencing user.

Triangles are major forts circles are bases. Ghoul trenches have already been overwhelmed. Vehicles wrecks are also common through out. Solid pink is pure packed zombie goodness. The hazy pink is them spreading out/dying. Terrain is typical wretched swamp. A few tunnels are apparent mostly with more zombies going in or out.

All the ghoul bases are under attack from top(flying ghouls) below(tunnels/burrowers) and from all sides. Our forces and ghoulish reinforcements have largely dealt with the immidiate flankers. Ghoul bases further back are preventing HUGE zombie hordes from attacking us from behind.

That's why we make a build in longing to join the hivemind, like every possible craving you could have, every itch you wanted to scratch. the agony is just an added incentive to weed out and kill of those strong enough to withstand the urge.
And we release the mosquitoes near the target, we don't let them fly from the base.

I suggest action 1.
Spread the Control bugs among the zombies, get a good dispersion so the natural procreation of them takes care of the spread from several Points.

The bugs are still under development in swarm vats.
Also Operation Market Garden is pressuposing the national border completion which still presupposes we manage to pacify the numerous other factions within the planned borders. We're only a 1/10th of the required popultation for that. On top of numerous immediate pressing matters.

We do it all the time, everytime we go out to scavenger resources we usually just find an old battlefield and pluck up the wrecks. Also that's where the spiders get their scrap from.

>>27525399
ah. Ok. i just remember a fight where we lost pretty much our entire army and no1 mentioned going back there to scavenge, and subsequent scavange rolls the 2-3 threads atleast just came up with mediocre results. nothing to indicate the ammount of Resources that should be avaible in that battlefield. But if the battlefield was sectioned off in different scavenges then it makes sense I guess.

Right. I knew there was something with the salvaging that we'd forgotten. after this zombie threat has been dealt with we should probably get to that/a scavenger-dredger hybrid.
It has been mentioned that a lot of the factions have been immunized to the virus bomb, has the zombie horde to our knowledge been so? otherwise VIRUS BOMB (at a safe distance ofc with the killswitch) all around among the zombies.
We might also want to consider sacrificing a few of our reactors to airdrop as Dirty bombs around our fortifications at a distance out to create a radiated zone to ghoulify the zombies, thinning them out and getting us potential allies.e

Mini-reactors are incredibly precious and hard to come by. Such a thing would only be done as a last resort measure at our very gates.

In any event, I have 3 proposals planned.
1. Like a scythe, we sweep in and try to relieve the pressure on the frontlines by cutting through the front directly
2. We simply equally split our forces and deal with each base, reinforcing their positions, and hold the line
3. We split into three groups and systematically deal with the three bases fronts, like plan 1, albeit covering more area in shorter time.

Anyone else have suggestions or objections pleas say so.

Sorry, I misinterpreted your post. Retreat would be a viable option (if it comes to that...hopefully not), if we could get the ghouls to HAVE to throw their lot in with us to survive/have a chance at reclaiming their former territory it'd be good. On the other hand, defending them against this zombie horde successfully will also probably get them to nearly join us.

I concur with this guy. The zombies have the zombie plague, the entropic virus is unlikely to do anything against them, but it poses a serious risk to our troops.

>>27526298
well, seeing as the the comment was about taking precautions ánd making sure we calculate the killswitch correctly I think a good roll would work well.

>>27526323
But there aren't any kind of precautions we can take against being infected by something that is both airborne, bloodborne, and affects all manner of life (even plants), and the killswitch will kill our own infected troops and ghouls.

>>27526321
Those viruses work in completely different ways, I hardly think the entropic virus would stop what is pretty much a flesheating mushing virus. But you are correct in something, we should try it out in contained conditions on a captured zombie to see the effects and depending on that release the virus.

First run went fine the second run though zombies knew what was coming and we saw a literal tower of zombies form and pluck a bomber right out of the air. Not to mention flier zombies came out in force the bombers succeeded in their run but flew away quite bloodied. We put a dent in their numbers problem is there is just so goddamn many of them.

Ghoul bases are slowly being overrun in particular the ones near the edge. One of whom has fallen to the horde.

That was when we used to Entropic Virus to devasting effect. The zombies began to fall to the virus like crazy. Not even some of the mutant strains are safe from its wrath. The zombies are still trying to advance but are dropping like flies. Apparently the entropic virus is just as effective if not more so then before.

There's very little we can do this turn. We should've ordered more reinforcements.

I hope the Vilebloods can deal in the meantime.

Concerned anon? Explain.

>>27527445

The zombies are under SWH's influence, plugging the mind-parasite into them will let her use it and do god-knows-what to god-knows-who.

Let alone having them attach to the hivemind like was planned.

>>27527472
But Clora protects the hivemind from that sort of attack.
It was part of her bonus she gained a while back. And we have the Prophet. She or the prophet sense something is amiss, they shield the entire mind and cuts it off immediately.

Though I agree, I'm concerned about the virus. This is why I at least want to test it on a control group.

>>27527472
>>27527494
Besides they're not attaching to the hivemind direct, but rather some sort of broodmind like Clora does to her fleshbeasts. Seperate but under the control of someone within the hivemind. Hivemind requires sentience and consent that I don't think the zombies can provide.

>>27527400
do this so we move on :o
It's a pretty good plan with the addition of doing the same virus bombing we did the last turn but more widespread. seeing as EDE even mentioned how effective it was

>>27527494

I'm not sure that Clora and the Prophet are enough to protect against SWH if She has a direct line into the hivemind, but heyyy go ahead if you'd like.

Also, I think there's a massive attack incoming on our base soon. And that the zombies haven't deployed all their forces yet.

Yeah we are NOT deploying it now.
Just making sure it's safe for potential use.

Rolled 22

>>27527400
Deploy the mind parasite if safely tested?

Rolled 56

>>27527556
if they can't Control and contain we just kill the infected zombies. the virus would do short work of them.

>>27527578
yes

>>27527556

Sorry EDE, I tried like I have before but they never listen..."it won't be so bad, it's just a small Psychic Field!"

Rolled 53

>>27527565
Testing is good, but I'd prefer we don't deploy it at all until we consult Prophet and Clora on how confident they feel against fending off psionic attack from SHW.

That shouldn't even take a turn.

Rolled 21

>>27527578
No. Just test. No deploy.
Consult Prophet and Clora on our concerns.

>>27527600
just have the test zombies be in a sealed room with the virus in a container that will be released if an activation isn't made every 30 sec to prevent sleep etc from letting anyone affect our hivemind.

>>27527617

She won't attack immediately...she'll wait until it's deployed...or she'll attack immediately, either way it'll be at the most advantageous point for her.

>>27527578
No.
Lock that shit up in the vault after we test it. Put it next to our designs for the crystal machine.

>>27527661

An ally!

>>27527643
Yeah, but I want to ask them.
"Hey, so are we like flies under a monsters foot to her or can you actually protect us against. . .oh say, a billion zombies joining one of your broodminds and SHW using it to try and link up with the real hivemind? No? Gotcha, somebody burn that shit and toss the ashes in acid."

Destroy all the ones the Spider Matriarch brought with her.

Biofuel facilities have been added onto our military base. Granted its not as good as the ones back home but it will do.

Zombie tests of begun...and worked flawlessly. Like damn I was sorta expecting their head to explode...nope not game. no fun.

Fleshbeast forces have been deployed.

Mad Science
After Clora'Zel had gone over it this time Richard did. Control works fine problem is joining the Hivemind...or so says Richard but then again he can't ACTUALLY join the hivemind in the first place. So no idea about how that may effect things. He has improved it though.

Matriach has established herself and begun churning out spiderborgs.

Forces are holding the line ghouls are not so lucky. Their remaining forces are about to buckle and they about lost the outer defenses of their bases. That isn't even including the havoc that zombie strike teams are having inside their lines to begin with. They are in bad shape user.


Deploy the zombie control parasite?

Huge Zombie hordes have formed and are advancing.

News
Monsters are getting their asses kicked by the zombies. Too many of them this time around even for the Deep ones. Who at least can actually still wreck at least.

>>27527814
what? no!! there is no need to destroy them. just keep them in reserve if we don't plan on using them right now. If SWH could use the zombies to take Control of our hivemind she could easily have made something similar herself and just hijacked us. Let it remain on standby and if there is a need use it.

She does not necessarily have access to our bio-manipulation facilities or capabilities we do. Judging by our having to deal with zombies she's just very good at psionics. Specifically infiltrating other people's psionics.

The zombies had a hivemind...now they've got The Hunger.

That's not what we're concerned about and you know it EDE.

>Control works fine problem is joining the Hivemind
Fuck that. If we even want to use this shit completely redesign it. NOT the hivemind itself. Maybe some kind of seperate broodmind (zombie mind)? But as of now, not this.

>Deploy the zombie control parasite?
no

>>27527841
Deploy it! but make sure to have virus bombs (both regular and single target variants) aimed at the dispersal areas. Take all precautions to allow for easy escape and sealing of bunkers etc if needed.

>>27527888
Well. then she could just as easily have kidnapped one of our mutants and done it that way. And btw. is SWH the other broodmother in the Deep swamp?

>>27527841
We are NOT deploying the virus. Not without complete and total assurance from all our heroes, and even then still no.

Guys I don't think we can hold this line. Do you think we should fall back to the Ghouls 2nd line or something? We can also deploy more forces there.
