You sit among the ruins of the colonial marines assault force, tearing the flesh from a fallen marines thigh, savoring the tender meat. Nearby Dutch is finally allowing himself a chance to rest, a anxious Drone tending to his wounds with specially mixed resin to seal the gaps in his chitin. Heavy warriors drag piles of the resin coated humans back to safety in Hive Territory, sealing them to walls as the Queens pleasure radiates through the hive mind.

A drone sniffs at the massive sealed bulkhead door to Alpha deck, scratching experimentally with a claw at the metal. With a dissapointed growl it wanders away, kicking a fallen pistol as it walks.

One of the shadows reports deep growls and a series of thudding footsteps coming from the depths of a darkened storage area on Main deck. Something large is residing in there and it sounds unhappy.

Your Builders express their desire to create and study based on the captured human weapons or to improve the hive itself. They just want to do something honestly.

>83+5. Study Captured battle rifle.

Using their experience from the Shotgun your Builders have a much easier time of it dissecting the Battle rifle. The weapon is stripped down to its individual pieces, each bullet inspected, each slide and piece licked, touched, sniffed and tossed aside.

The Builders tinker carefully, shaping specially mixed resin into Biomechanical muscle and bone, Dragging a Unhappy warrior into the chamber before knocking it unconscious with a mental order.

They quickly strip away the carapace and flesh of its forelimb and grafting the weapon directly to its body, linking the controls with its nervous system.

The warrior awakens a short while later and after complaining of the soreness it takes a test shot with the weapon. With a sharp *Thwip* a long, finger thick shard of chitin protrudes from small sign across the cargo bay. The shard pierces all the way through the metal and deep into the wall.

Dropped dice off the table, trying again.

Also how are we doing perk picking QM? How many can we snag at once? Do you assign resource values to them, if so how expensive is a perk?

>>1538428
You can do 3 Perks to one unit (or a group of units) before Theyre considered a new class. Depending on how specialized their mutations make them i may cut them off of the mutation table or allow only mutations that draw upon or improve their current ones.

And its basically 1 corpse per Mutation but you have more corpses than I can even bother to keep count of (over 100) so youre fine. Go nuts.

Hive wide mutations can be done but that would be expensive

>>1538445
Thanks.

>75+3. Predalien hunt.
>You are Dutch.

You stretch your freshly healed limbs, feeling the tightness of scar tissue on the softer bits. You snarl loudly and clench your claws as the muscle twinges in pain.

The voice of the queen enters your mind. She bids you to find and capture the beast that concerns your hivemates so. A pack of warriors approach, offering to help. A vicious growl greets them.

You require no help. You are the hunter of hunters. The predator of predators. You will do this alone.

You stalk down the hallways toward the storage room containing the beast, claws clicking on the metal floor. As you poke your head into the room in question you hear nothing except a deep, wheezing sound, interrupted by snuffling snorts. The room is cluttered and littered by shattered containers and boxes, piled nearly to the ceiling.

>Roar a challenge, let it come to you.

>See if you can sneak up on it while it sleeps

>Set up a trap (What)

>>1538483
>Set a trap
Bands of flexible sticky resin at mid-leg level and coating the ground, something like those glue traps for mice. Then sneak up on the creature and spook it into the trap, while it's struggling to free itself leap atop it and deliver the classic head-bite.

Also here's some hive perks and another crowd control class.

>Spore mine
Modified Hive node
The spore mine detonates and releases infectious spores, infected humans develop accute spore sickness and soon fall into a comatose state.
Perfect for crippling enemies as they try to push into your territory.

>Environmental leetch
Hive structure modification
The hive sends tendrils deep into the ground/structure/hull of whatever planet/station/ship it grows within, leetching away trace metals and other nutrients.
+Slow passive resource production

>Inframorph
Derives from: Incineratormorph
A modification to the incinerator mutation, the inframorph swaps it's incendiary weapon for a complex series of tubes and vibration-directing drums which produce a weaponized infrasound pulse.
Enemies caught in the pulse suffer from extreme nausia, paranoia, hallucinations, and minor soft tissue damage. Prolonged exposure results in constant vomiting, bursting of capilaries, breakdown of mental processes, internal bleeding, and death.
+Long range attack that inflicts progressive damage
+Debuffs all rolls made by enemies -2, then -4, then -8 with increasing exposure

>>1538493
Are you sure you want to kill it?

>>1538567
No no, I thought in lore the head bite was supposed to be an incapacitating strike that renders the victim comatose.

Whatever is necessary to pacify it so we can implant it.

>>1538574
Headbites on humans are an instakill but on a beastie this size ill allow it to be incapacitating

>>1538588
Then let's go with trap and paralyze. Also, did we get the quill mutation for regular xenos yet?

>>1538597
Yes you have the Quill Darts mutation. It is available to every Xeno (but like the weaponry, Mutations scale with the size of the Xeno so on heavies they will basically be firing spine Rifles from their tails)

>>1538604
Just making sure, it wasn't with the earlier equip warriors post here: >>1538348

>>1538680
I saw! Im not the best on DBZ lore so I was confused as holy fuck but I liked it

>Trap and incap.

You perform the XenoMorph equivalent of hawking a loogie into your large claws, pulling the resulting wad of resin until it is strong as steel.

Crouching near one of the large open cargo doors you adhere the thick strand of resin to one side, pinning it to the other and pulling it till its taught.

Planting your large feet in just behind the trap you roar, thumping the wall with your clenched claws. A earth shaking bellow sounds out from the interior of the small cargo hold as a series of thundering footsteps approach.

>Hold your ground

>Ehh maybe you should back up a bit

>Hide above the door

>>1538690

And drop onto its' back then paralyze it once it is through the door. A good hunter doesn't let the prey know it is there until it is already dead.

>>1538742
Thanks. I'm shooting low for now, aiming at just my next thread. If people keep wanting more I'll go from there.

>Hide above the door.

Leaping straight up you sink your claws into the soft metal of the ceiling and wall, supporting your weight easily with one arm you dangle, waiting for the creature to hit your trap.

Not a moment too soon.

With a bellow of fury the creature hammers through the door, the cord of steel strong resin gluing to its front legs and holding just long enough for the colossus to frontflip onto the ground, leaving a deep dent in the metal.

Releasing your grip fall onto the creature's broad back as it rolls onto its feet with a furious snarl. Sinking your claws into its thick hide you lash with your tail, opening deep rents in its rear as you clamber up its back, thick dark blood gushing around your claws as it roars in rage and pain.

Finally you reach its massive, thrashing head and slash away tissue and muscle to reveal its thick, bony spine you snarl in victory.

With a wet crunch your inner jaw smashes into its spine again and again, crushing the bone on the third hit and shredding its spinal cord.

The beast falls limp and boneless, breath shallow and weak, eyes rolling it terrified fury and agony.

>Bulwarkmorph
Derives from: Guardians
A variant of the Guardian mutation, the Bulwark trades its clawed hand for a second shield, further increasing its already massive damage absorbing ability to truly prodigious heights.
Its tail becomes even longer and harder, allowing it to pierce multiple soft targets at once.
A second set of smaller arms, like the builder, grow out from the chest to allow it to feed.

+MASSIVE ability to absorb damage to the point even armor piercing ammunition will have a hard time getting through
+Feels little pain to all but the most grievous of wounds
-Slow to the point that glaciers might be faster
-Not the sharpest blade in the hive
-Will fly into a station breaking rage if too many morphs get hurt
+/-Is oddly content when drones use him as a roost/mount

>>1539154
Fug :D

I can think of a way to weaken the incoming force though. If the station has escape pods or escape shuttles of any kind, we fill the shuttle/pod with a hive node and a fuckton of facehuggers (get a mutation to increase the number of facehuggers in an egg to achieve this more quickly).

>93+5 Improve Hive. Acid and Flechette traps.

Your builders spring to action at the chance to improve the hive further. Hive nodes are spat out left and right, the gelatinous masses further shaped into masses of bone and tissue filled full of razor sharp shards of chitin and volatile chemicals. Some hang from the ceiling in glistening bulbs full of thick, especially caustic acid.

Your drones carry wades of the creeping oozes on their backs, depositing them where they are most needed, their number thickening closer to the hive proper where the queen is further entrenched behind a labyrinth of resin plates.

As long as we have a stable hive structure they can live indefinitely.

You takes off into the resin encrusted remnants of the ductwork, headed upwards wherever possible. The humans in there paranoia had sealed themselves away into their supposedly safe "Alpha Deck".

http://muvluv.wikia.com/wiki/BETA


>Hunter Class
The hunter class is a warrior xenomorph with 2 pair of arms allowing it to run quadropedally with speeds of up to 90 km/h. The skeletal and exoskeletal structure of the hunter is built for speed and agility alone, it's brain structure produces large amounts of adrenaline in a short period time increasing it's reaction time. Combine it's speed, agility, rapid reaction time along with one extra pair of limbs, you've got a monstrosity that will give hardened veterans nightmares for days

>>1540242
Also forgot the stats again

You carefully creep along the ducts, distributing your weight carefully to avoid creaks and pops from the thin metal. You'll need to find a way in, forcing your way in will make far too much noise. You aren't Dutch. Bullets to the face hurt you.

You crawl through each and every portion of the Alpha decks ducts, turned back only when grow too narrow for you to advance any further.

Disheartened you turn back only to catch the sound and scent of humans and movement down a particularly narrow vent. You have to contort and twist to get down it but you eventually find a small grate, barely wider than your head, at floor level that was never welded over. It seems the humans forgot this one!

You press against it carefully and the metal slides out of its slots, falling to the floor with a small *clang*. You slither out and creep up the wall of what looks like a empty meeting , the lights off and chairs pushed in.

You edge around a lit area, keeping your body close to the ceiling to avoid being seen. You are following the pulses of energy through the wiring to their source. In the coming complete darkness your shadows would fall upon them like wolves.

You chatter in excitement, ripping another cluster of wires from a junction. Darkening the set of hallways you just come from. Switching direction to follow the pulses your shadows come slithering along behind you.

Prying open a panel on the wall you and your shadows creep into the space behind the walls, you go up above the ceiling and your drones crawl down into the gap below the floors.

Moving through the cramped spaces you eye the vulnerabel humans below you as they scurry to and fro, tending to their precious machines. They seem to be running themselves ragged to keep the lights and power on.

Their struggle is about to come to an end.

With a screech of fury you crash through the ceiling while your shadows burst from the floor, sinking their claws into a pair of humans, ripping open the soft flesh and spilling blood in great crimson splashes.

You drive down upon a man as he turns to flee, tailblade punching through his back and out the center of his chest, lacerating his heart and shredding his lungs. Using your momentum to spring into another leap, burying your claws in a woman's chest, fangs mauling her face as her companions are dragged into the floor, screams cutting off with wet crunches and splashes of gore.

You quickly belt out orders to your Shadows. The humans need these machines for their precious lights do they? Then these machines must go.

You leap onto the delicate machinery, knocking them over and causing the fragile components to shatter. You ram your claws into the guts and rip out claw-fulls of wiring and chips. The lights flicker and dim, fading further and further into black as the other machines are destroyed within moments. With the last generator destroyed the lights fade into pitch darkness, humans nearby screaming in terror as you screech in victory

"Oh fuck! Theyre up here!"
"Oh god no! Get security over here!!"
"Get those flashlights up!"

The forces of the hive chitter and screech in the hallway leading up to the massive bulkhead doors. Already the Heavies are straining, massive muscles bulging and popping as they attempt to pry the door open.

So far the combined efforts of all of your heavies have shifted the metal almost a centimeter, the massive metal doors refusing to budge without a fight of epic proportions.

On the other side humans and androids gather, crouching behind barricades, assault rifles and autoTurrets ready. The humans hands are shaking, their voices betray their fear. They know they are doomed.

Echoing footsteps approach from behind your horde, many squeezing themselves against the wall to let the beast through.

The Goliath. The most massive of all the hives children. Its broad, armored back scraping the ceiling at points, its three pairs of heavy, clawed feet bending the metal of the floors beneath it. Its wide, fang filled maw opens in a deafening roar as it braces its forelimbs against the doors, pushing with all its might.

The heavies join in, eager to not be outdone, heaving as hard as they can. With the squeal of tortured metal the locks shatter, doors flying open and knocking the Goliath off balance.

"OH FUCK WHAT IS THAT!"
"Its HUGE!!!"
"OPEN FIRE!"
"BRING IT DOWN"
"hostile lifeform engaged."
"Opening fire"

In a burst of gunfire as bright as a sun the battle is joined, bullets ricocheting from the Goliaths thick shell, sinking into the muscle in the gaps in its armor. Your Guardians rush in, firing as they come with the Spine warriors firing from the rear. Incinerators and acid casters rush forward behind the shields of the Guardians, hoping to suppress the enemy.

Dutch pounds his chest and charges through the middle, his heavy commandos following behind.

Quiet whips his tail in a broad arc, showering the enemy positions in a swarm of needles.

As Strong as the humans defense may have seemed to them, to the might of the hive it may as well be tissue paper.

Your Guardians form up into a outward facing semicircle, their shredder cannons firing into the midst of the defenders, sprays of blood and android fluid marking where the razor shards land. Acidcasters and Incinerators crouch behind the Guardians shields, firing their weapons at the AutoTurrets, melting the turrets down to slag, small explosions sounding off as the rounds cook off.

Your Spine Warriors fire in a never ending rain of spikes, nailing men to easy other and to the walls behind them. Androids and men alike are knocked backward, gripping the spikes piercing their bodies like gaffed fish. Body armor and durable construction alike are useless against the nearly foot long spines.

With a roar of unimaginable fury your Goliath regains its footing, its charge outpacing Dutch, the Predalien grabbing onto the Goliaths side and screeching in rage as it barrels through the defensive line. Heavy warruors, warriors and Drones follow close behind, pouring into the gap as the humans begin to run.

"Perimeters breached! Pull back! FALL BACK!"
"Oh SHIT there's too many!! Get back! RUN!"
"Don't fucking leave me! Don't fucking leave mEEEeeeeeee-hrrrk"

Fucking well then! What do you have in mind for the hive on alpha deck?

>>1545841
Haven't caught up reading what I missed, what's the deal with alpha deck? Is there anything special about it? What are it's functions?

>>1545862

Its the last remaining deck on the station I believe. After this the station is completely ours. Then we'll have to deal with those escort ships.

If it's possible, can we construct a hive structure that flings some kind of boarding pod into space?

So I know Spook has been doing a ton of work for the hive and I figured i'd contribute a few ideas i've had since having caught up on the threads:

>Cerebromorph "The Stewardmorph"
Derived from: Shadow or Hunters
The Cerebromorph is less a new "breed" of xenomorph but rather a solution. With the continual expansion of a hive the Queen remains immobile in the hive and farther and farther from the rest of her brood. The Cerebromorph is a resultant mutation to combat the separation. The Spines of the Cerebromorph are replaced thinner, more sensitive receptor and receiver spines as well as a protruding fin on the head. With these mutations the once individual xenomorph is now little more than a puppet of the Queen, allowing her to act through this "Steward" in her stead. While weaker and more fragile than other breeds, the Cerebromorph allows for a Xenomorph Queen to better control her brood on the attack as well as "Learn" using the pair of extended canines in the second mouth, allowing the steward to "Absorb" memories from live victims given to The Steward, however the victim will die in the process.

+ Gives the Queen greater control on her brood at distance
+Allows for the Queen to learn directly from captives
-There can be few stewards at any one time, and the queen can only control any one directly at a time
-Weaker than other classes of Xenomorph in every way.
- When a Cerebromorph is killed it can send a Neural "feedback" to the queen, stunning her and forcing the hive to act on its own temporarily.

>>1545885
Our facehuggers now have two "charges" before they're dead, right?
>Load 1 or 2 pods with about 2-5 humans each (obviously implanted with a warrior xeno)
>The facehuggers act dead
>Human fleet intercepts the pod and brings it back to their ship
>Even if they wise up and kill the infected humans they have no idea that the facehugger can implant up to two hosts.
>Facehuggers sneak into the ventilation shafts and find isolated hosts
>We now have a groups of warriors causing havoc in the "back lines" so to speak, while we deal with their scattered and paranoid soldiers

>>1545994
Each egg produces 2 facehuggers.

>>1545885
That may be possible. Is that what you want to go for?

>>1545862
Alpha deck is the uppermost level of Echo station, small but heavily secured. This is where the Director and his subordinates ran echo station from

>>1546000
Ah, well we could still have the facehuggers hide in the circuits of the pod or something similar.

>>1545983
Excellent idea. This would be a buff unit for surrounding Xenos right?

>>1546001
Hell yeah, if we can weaken the incoming human forces before they arrive we have an advantage. Since we're essentially trapped for now we're still fighting a war of attrition. Enemies should start losing forces before they even arrive.

>>1546064
That and also a sort of dedicated researcher (perhaps a small buff to research)...oh, it's still me. Moved to mobile.

>100. Pod Launcher.

Xenomorphs aren't fans of vacuum. You can't hear your prey scream in space after all. Plus if you have a crack in your shell your insides get pulled out. Yuck. But the queen is the boss and she wants every drone and builder out on the outside of the station, constructing a giant.... Thing. A squat, long barreled construction resembling a large cannon takes shape, strands of biomechanical muscle and bone making up its body.

The idea is clear in the minds of all involved but the concept is just... Off. Similar in design to the Spike Rifle it will hurl large hollow shards of Chitin at the nearby escort ships. These shards will contain facehuggers, Warriors and drones, ready to spread chaos.

The wounded Xenomorphs who cannot venture into vacuum are put to work on hiving the portion of Alpha deck you have captured. Slowly the last shining remnants of humanity are being buried under shiny black Resin.

After hours and hours of construction your Builders report that the... Xeno-Pod-Cannon-Launcher thing is probably ready. They don't know for sure but theyre excited to test it.

>87. Fire the boarding cannon!

At the queens command a group of warriors and drones each select a facehugger and allow the small creature to curl around their chest, legs locking and tail curling tightly around their bodies. They make their way out of the station through the spaced Shuttlebay, crawling on the surface until they reach the massive construction on the side of the station. They climb into the hollow shard, the long structure filled with a soft gel to cushion the impact. A builder seals the hatch of the boarding spike down with resin and the spike slides into the barrel of the boarding cannon

>3 Drones loaded
>3 Warriors loaded
>6 Facehuggers loaded

>CMS Taurus- Escort Frigate

>CMS Heracles - Escort Troop Carrier

>CMS Harpy - Escort Cruiser

>CMS Weathers- Escort Frigate

Fire at who?

>>1546483
>CMS Harpy - Escort Cruiser
Always go for the commanders

>>1546483
Troop carrier makes the most sense, they'd be the ones offloading the most humans onto the station. Also once we're onboard we shouldn't focus on spreading so much as we should focus on permanently ruining it's life support systems. The humans will be forced to bail out or die choking.

>>1545983

> Vectomorph "The Carrier"
Derived from: Worker Drone.

A breed of Xenomorph designed to employ the new "Terror" Tactics devised by the queen; the Vectomorph is designed to support stealth operations. While it has a more bulbous back, this is to allow for the chest cavity to be hollowed, with the front plates of the chest capable of being opened and sealed. In this new compartment two facehuggers can be nestled and survive for long periods of time outside of the hive. This allows a Vectomorph to follow other breeds and, when close to humans, release its cargo of facehuggers and retreat.
+Capable of long term storage of facehuggers outside of a hive
+Dedicated carrier unit for facehuggers can act as a living escape pod if needed.
-thinner carapace than other breeds means it is weaker to any form of attack
-Due to its thin armor, the Vectormorph relies entirely on its cargo to incapacitate and distract more heavily armed forces.

>CMS Harpy-Escort Cruiser.

The truth is they already know what we are (Sort of) and know where the hive is. Even if they send a troop carrier into the station we have the homefield advantage and food is more or less coming to us. If we fortify the hive with mines and other incapacitating materials we can even profit from their assault.

However if we were to strike the troops first they may choose to destroy the station outright, and the hive with it.

>>1546494
We want humans on board. More humans=more family and food

>>1546530
I'll change my support to the Cruiser then, you guys make compelling points. I'll also throw out a new class that might help us with the coming fights.

>Plaguemorph
Derives from: Standard Drone
Plaguemorphs incorporate spore mutations into their bodies, exhaling clouds of infectious spores which spread a horrific bio-plague among non-xenomorph lifeforms. Infected enemies suffer from acute fever, difficulty breathing, seizures, and eventually lapse into a comatose state as the disease ravages their central nervous system.
+Devastates unprotected infantry
+Debuffs all infected targets
+Infected enemies can sicken healthy enemies
-no armor
-poor in mele combat
-low health

>Harpy hunting.

Clearly illuminated by the (relatively) nearby sun are the escort ships for Echo Station. Ever since main power was destroyed the Station has drifted through the system at a rather higher rate of speed than normal. The escort ships are close, their hulls bristling with weapons and shuttle bays. 2 are small frigates, resembling little more than flying assault rifles. The barrel of their main cannon jutting from the center of their noses.

1 is a long, wide ship lacking many obvious weapons. Its vast amount of shuttle bays and rounded shape makes it obvious to its purpose of carrying humans around.

The last is a long, wide craft marked by dozens of weapon emplacements and large engines towards its rear. It pulls ahead of the others, seeming to lead the pack.

Never reveal your commander to a sniper.


The drones and warriors within the shard are thrown back by inertia, if not for the soft gel they would be crushed into paste as the spike flies through space.

The humans sensors are designed to read weapon locks, firing trails, radio signals. Some way to know a weapon has been fired. Your spike is all but invisible to them before it hammers into the lower left side of the Cruiser, jutting from the side like an onyx thorn. Pre-stored resin pours around the gap in the metal hull, rapidly hardening into a perfect plug. The sides of the Spike open like a flower, releasing its deadly cargo in a flood of gel.

Once we take the comms out, the fleet will suffer from a lack of leadership. If we go straight to killing the command crew or ruining life support, someone else in the fleet with rank/senority will take control, but taking the comms first will make the topic fuzzier.

>>1546728
I really didn't want to get our hive bombarded from space, but looks like we have a winner. Better reload the Shard as well

>>1546780
Seconding this. Now that we've started firing on them I think we should commit to a full volley and try to cripple the the other ships as well. If we can nail them all and prevent them from boarding the station we could just load all of our xenos onto boarding capsules and take the ships for ourselves, once we have them we can force them down on a planet.

>95. Air? What air?

Spilling out of the spike in a tide of Chitin your boarding party observe the chaos brought on by their sudden entrance. They seem to have made their landing somewhere in a sleeping area of the ship. Its former inhabitants are splattered along the floor and walls in bloody paste. The walls are torn and shattered metal, the spikes hard tip ripping through them like foil.

Your boarding party scatters into the vents, eager to begin sowing seeds of fear and death. Already alarms are blaring, a humans voice echoing over the intercom
"DAMAGE CONTROL DOWN TO DORMITORY C. FOREIGN OBJECT IMPACT DETECTED. GET MEDICAL ON STANDBY!"

Your Boarding party skitter along the vents, following the mental commands of the Queen. They follow the gusts of cool air through the vents, blocking spinning fans as they go, wriggling through like eels.

Finally in the belly of the ship they find the source, a large, long machine with multiple ducts leading into it from all directions. Human technicians monitor displays and adjust controls, oblivious to your presence

"You feel that a few minutes ago Reynolds?"

"Yeah apparently C deck got hit by a asteroid or some shit. Poor fuckers. Hope the impact killed em. Vacuum is a bad way to go"

"Youre fucked up Reynolds"

This

With quiet efficiency that would make Newt jealous your team drops down through the ceiling, landing behind the rearmost human technicians. One turns at the rustle behind him only to be knocked flying by a chitinous backhand that shatters his cheek. His companion is knocked backward by a leaping drone who pounds his head against the floor. The two humans at the forefront of the room run for a red alarm along the wall. A warrior and a drone make short work of them, sinking claws and blades into their fragile bodies and dragging them back, leaving thick trails of blood on the floor. Their groans of agony are muffled forever when facehuggers are pressed down upon their mouths.

>4 humans implanted.

With the humans subdued the drones drag them into the vents, searching for a suitable place to secure them

While they work your warriors dive into the belly of the machine, ripping out chunks of wiring and smearing acidic blood onto delicate components until the machine begins whirring and shaking, the sound of ripping metal sounding from its depths

Your warriors retreat into the safety of the ducts as the machine rips itself apart. Soon the inhabitants of this ship will be choking on their own breath.

Life support purifies and circulates air, but Xenomorphs can survive in much harsher atmospheres and can survive for extended periods in vacuum or indefinitely in vacuum (if they're hibernating). Yes the air will become lethal to humans, to we shouldn't have to worry considering that Xenomorphs could survive on LV-426 when it's atmosphere was poisonous carbon/methane/nitrogen soup at sub-zero temperatures.
>>1546964
Let's go for comms next, while it will soon be obvious they are in trouble we might be able to shut down their communications before they can describe what happened. That will allow us to catch at least one or more other ships by surprise before they understand what's happening.

Your new drones finish ripping away pieces of their former hosts, gnawing the meat happily as the voice of the queen urges them to silence the humans on the ship. Without the voices of their leaders they are helpless.

Using their natural sensitivity to radio waves your boarding party make their way through the ducts, headed towards the spine of the ship where a nexus of these signals can be found.

After a delightful adventure through the ducts you find yourself nearing the nexus of signals, a small, long room filled with terminal banks with several humans sitting at their stations, large headsets on their ears. It seems they are in the middle of speaking to their companion ships

Your group sneaks into the Comms station like shadows, creeping behind the men at their stations and one by one, yanking them from their seats.

Their heads are knocked against the floor hard enough to leave bloody smears on the ground. They slump tonelessly on the ground as your drones begin pulling them into the vents.

Your warriors begin smashing and tearing at the controls and displays, ripping away delicate wiring and components. The monitors go dark one by one. Before the last one is silenced a voice echoes out from the headset.

Guys now that comma with the main ship are down now is the time to send boarding parties to the other three ships. Once they realize something is wrong we have a small window before they regroup, taking advantage of the confusion now and taking out the other ships comms now is our best bet

>>1547821
You've got a point, maybe we should start going after the other ships while they're still unaware. We should aim to force them to fight us through boarding action as opposed to the long range bombardment they were apparently planing, that's something we would have difficulty surviving intact right now. Maybe we should try to assassinate the commander of this ship before we leave it too, he's probably the one directing the overall mission here and I doubt we'll get another chance like this to chop the head off the snake.

>>1547177
The Big Infector is what I'm calling our space Xeno launcher.

Sorry guys I got b& yesterday. Got it taken care of and im back :) have all decided on what to do?

>>1548310
I reiterate that we should crash the Harpy into the Taurus with no survivors. This will put both ships out of play and hopefully it will be chalked up to critical malfunctions, the other ships will be busy cleaning up and rescuing survivors or avoiding debris, perhaps one of them will even blunder into the collision. Whatever the case may be the humans will probably be tied up/distracted by the collision which will give us time to fire more boarding spikes.

>>1548316
Well with a high enough roll on the sabotage engines or interfering with navigation it may be possible. With enough dice anything is possible

>>1548320
Well I'll throw out my roll now and hope that other people throw in soon. I've got to get to work in an hour and change so I might miss the good stuff again and show up when you guys have already had all the fun.

Dice!
Cause an engine malfunction that forces the Harpy to collide with the Taurus.

Ok, sort of left-field idea here. We want them to land troops rather than blow the station, right? Or at least make them hesitate to blow it.
We have a bit of time, because they're waiting to get the "go" from Harpy, which we just silenced.
So, next step, we let some of the survivors on Alpha deck get a partial distress call out. Not full communications, just enough to let the ships know there are living humans on the station. That should buy us enough time to see them make a landing run and/or let us fire more BI Shards, right?

Meanwhile, the kids on Harpy can continue to make the hive proud.

>>1548324
I'll throw my weight behind this if we can only pick one. I still want the cruiser and frigates out of commission because they might just pulverize the station with their heavy weapons, the Carrier is going to have the majority of tasty humans on it and it also lacks the capital class weapons to outright destroy our hive, so we let that one live.

>>1548324
Liking this. But aren't they in communication with them now?

>Back to hive

>Stick with Cruiser Squad

>>1548445
>Back to Hive

>>1548445

With the claiming of the majority of alpha deck the hives control over echo station is nearly complete. With the Infector cannon complete on top of the station you are free to strike against the fleet of escort ships.

Gonna get obliterated. Oh well, which of our new guys wants to be a queen then?

>26. Your flight is experiencing unexpected complications.

Another brave crew of warriors and drones load themselves into the boarding spike, a builder wishing them luck before sealing the hatch with resin.

The massive structure atop the station shifts, bringing the CMS Taurus into its sights. Following the will of the Builder controlling it it fires with a great vibration that rattles the entire station. The long boarding spike glides through the vacuum of space, faster and faster, pointed straight at the belly of the CMS Harpy.

Just as they begin a maneuvering burn.

The ship begins sliding to the side, angling itself to fire upon the "contaminated portion" of Echo station. Instead of a broad, flat section of armor to bite into the boarding spike instead meets sharply angled metal, an angle growing sharper by the second.

The spikes hard tip gouges into the armor at too much of an angle, shattering off like glass. The rest of the spike is driven by momentum, tumbling through space like a ninepin.

>3 drones killed
>3 warriors killed
>3 Facehuggers killed.

The builder controlling the cannon chatters in worry. Nobody saw that right?

Can we have a mutation for vaccum operation? Little air pockets than can be launched like jets?

WE should probably figure out the loadout for the next pod...

>>1548986
Do we have choices in boarding spike crews?

>>1549001
We can ask QM

>>1549001
Yes you do. No heavies however. They don't fit.

>>1549001
>>1549002
Up to 6 med units (drones/ warriors with a facehugger each) I suppose you COULD load 2 heavies if you wanted but that would be a tight fit

>>1549001
>>1549015

Three warriors and maybe Three Vectomorphs (if we actually have the them) would give us 12 face huggers counting the six that would be in the pod normally

>>1549018
You don't have any Vectomorphs (gonna call them carriers) yet. You'd have to mutate some of your drones for that.

>>1549051
Let's do that then, as long as we're sneeki beeki the Carriers won't have any troubles.

>>1549066

But aren't the ships going to fire at are hive? Do we have enough time to mutate, then launch?

>>1549113
I thought we could do a mutation action simultaneously with a major roll action.

>>1549144
You can do a mutation alongside a roll. As long its not a extreme or multistage mutation

>>1549159

Good to know.

>3 Carriers created
>99. FIRE THE MAIN CANNONS

A trio of your drones rip their way through cocoons of flesh, their bodies changed for their new task. Their backs are bulbous and wide, peeling open to admit a pair of facehuggers each. The chambers close and seal, layers of musculature keeping the inside warm, moist and nourishing.

Along with three warriors they hurry to the Infector cannon, climbing aboard a rapidly readied spike. The projectile is sealed and locked into the barrel, the massive cannon of bone and tissue shifting to bring the bring the Taurus into its sights.

The recoil would rip a human limb from limb as the spike is launched at supersonic speeds, jetting through space like a midnight black needle.

With the rip of squealing metal the boarding spike tears square into the center of the Frigate, directly below the bridge of the small craft. The impact is so fierce it tips the frigate on its axis, its main cannon shot going off directly into the rear. underbelly of the Heracles. Atmosphere and crew are sucked into the void before the gaping hole is sealed by bulkheads. The massive engines to the rear of the craft flicker and die, their fires extinguished.

Your boarding party chatters in excitement, pouring from the spike in a wave, feet splashing in the pooled blood on the floor as they scurry into the vents. The Taurus has been "infected"

>Heracles Damaged. Main engines down
>Taurus Boarding party landed. Direct hit on fire control for main cannon.

>Control who?

>Taurus team

>Harpy team

>Main Hive

Any anons still here?

>>1549382
>Taurus team

>>1549382
>Taurus team

>Taurus trouble.

Your boarding squad on board the Taurus moves into the vents, chittering in delight as the humans mill about in terror, some running toward the damaged area, some away.

"Fire control is down!"
"WHAT THE HELL HIT US!"
"Was that from the Station!?!"
"Oh fucking GOD! PREP MEDICAL! Move it!!!"

Sweet delicious chaos.

Seconding bridge.

>75. A bridge too far.

Rushing through the vents your boarding team rush toward the ships bridge. Already alarms are blaring, the sound of humans screaming in pain and shock music to your ears.

The frigates are small crafts, built mainly around their massive spinal cannons so it is a quick matter for your Xenos to climb up and prepare to attack the bridge.

Peering in from the ceilings and floor, tangled in wires and pipes your Xenos appraise the human hive-leader for this ship.

They frantically rush around their stations, screaming orders into microphones, slamming controls and buttons

"FIRE CONTROL IS DOWN CAPTAIN!!"
"Main cannon is offline!!"
"Some kind of Projectile from the station!"
"Heracles is requesting damage control teams! Our main cannon gutted their engine bay!"

A white uniformed human male with a large Grey beard slams his fist into the armrest of his chair
"Is the Harpy still silent? We need captain Murphy to assist!"
