We actually need to re-discover vespan harvester and modified it to Promethium Extractor. And yeah, we should train our willpower, maybe it will help in long run.

We could spread directly into the well like bacteria but that would defeat the purpose of trying to harvest so my bet is on a bit of fracking or doing it like a tree where the filled tubes xylene has something at the end acting as a one wave valve as it evaporates or condenses pulling it up steadily

Interlude: Mechanicum II.
  • Threadmarks
    • Evolution at an incredible pace. Internal gene-scribing constantly changing, altering, almost intelligent in its adaptation. "Strange." Vocalizations aid in thought, cogitators thrum whilst my organic mind considers.

    The subject, a Citizen-designation Quin Anwad is infected cranially, the parasite adapts to its new environment and overtakes neurons rapidly. The Citizen is completely infected for whatever that causes, and it seems to be activating the Citizen's sensory centres. "Listening in, are we?" I ask the stiff body, new mixtures of anaesthesia being concocted and then deployed to defeat new adaptations.

    The tech serfs have been sent for a rest cycle, leaving myself alone in the room with the infected subject. Data rolls across a screen, two billion infected of the three billion living on it, but the disease will not advance its stage, content to replicate at a low level intelligently rather than display more standard behaviour.

    "Listening, adapting, changing, improving and waiting." My vocalizations spur the cogitator in my mind to provide solutions, ideas, truths. "Living from the smallest organism. A connected being. But parasites cannot think." Staring at the vicious worm I have in a stasis chamber, stilled mid-writhe by the temporal sorceries of the machine.

    "I wonder where your commander is, little worm. What malign intellect drives you to such treachery." I move on motive-wires in my laboratory, glaring down at the infested, "Perhaps you worry we will burn you out. Shatter this world's skies with fire and crack its crust with shells."

    A crackling laugh exits me, "Worry not, odd, twisted Xenos. I have study to perform yet." Staring at the disconnected organs of a worm taken apart, "You will live until I can see your very centre, that nerve column which guides all this."

    Quin Anwad is instantly annihilated, high-power radiation making the air warble with force as he falls apart into dust. Dulling the senses of this swarm in my chambers and removing a human mind from their network.

    "I have called the Guard, parasite. Prepare for war." I inform this opponent, hoping to see their evolution accelerate.

    • Can we just modify the humans into perfect healthy beings so we can coexist with them like we can literally bond with their dna and have children to infect other non infected children

    That's genestealers just do what bacteria do with humans and fetuses seperate genome hosted in intestines and part of the body making blood draws and biopsy samples less identifiable.
    Edit: becoming a Organell like a mitochondria makes it harder to hide as it would spread with all the cells, could be too much of a alarmbell straying close to laws for purging tyrranids genesteelers and abhumans while there is no laws against being a dirt eating peasant with intestinal bacteria and microrganism and some macro.
    Edit2: we need to work on making the zerg parasite not fight the immune system but bypass or blend in with the local immune system taking in some host dna for the correct surface proteins without triggering a allergic reaction and it's a bad parasite bloating up too numerous in singular hosts when they should be spreading eggs/juveniles with fecalmatter as currently they are getting in the way of there own reproductive success

    They dont know where we originate from with the quite literal spread to billions. more then half the population by what he said if the information is not a fabrication
    Edit: please dont be so easily goaded to reveal ourself

    I am 100% that the tech priest can correlate the xeno parasite outbreaks to the xeno creatures that were so dangerous they forced the pdf to retreat.

    They might to contact the Salamanders to get their Heavy Flamers and deal with the new xenos threat from their point of view.

    It looks like the Magos doesn't want to eradicate us. He's called in the guard to provoke us into responding. And well we kind of have to. We dealt with the PDF on the ground easily enough. But we can barely touch their air force, and the guard will have much better equipment.

    Yeah, he is going full researcher route not caring about casualties...what are the chances he will join the swarm? /hj

    The native crotalids and the native bugs. You mean that had to be culled
    Edit: on a planet full of both so just keep the drones on a leash when taking a walk in the park with active monitoring so they are not reported

    Terrans have allied with the swarm against themselves before. With the imperials around? Even a set of drooling mandibles looks like a friendlier face.
