We will need a large purpose built space evolution chamber for experiments to create a larger habitat and so we can fit the strains of a larger.
Crotalid experiments on size can possibly be reused for slightly more mobile buildings.
We got the hit on pack based warp travel the cost would be too large for any One individual in a species.

Be careful with the sea creep it's going to make a very noticable change in the water but also consuming everything would get rid of valuable samples for survey along with infestation targets I think we need to go for a more distributed method somewhere leaning towards Algea with a hint of yellow slime mold for the multi cellular and unicellular between stages.
A algea would maximize the most physically possible surface area collecting light at all spectrums at falling light intensity functionally collecting the most light with less reflection based waste while also allowing for spectrum specialization to more effichently eating individual colors.
Also light scattering plays a big part while the light splinters allows for more light to act as if its above at angles it will also scatter our colors making us harder to see on the sea if we dont saturate the first few meters of the water column

First we are beyond hiding. We have literally surrounded the guard city with zerg thorn walls. Both they and the Magos definitely know we're here.
Second we have repeatedly surveyed this world and found nothing else useful to infest.

Yeah, I have to ask Swarm are you even keeping up with what is going on? Because it doesn't feel like it at points.
 
Not only are we beyond hiding on this planet, the news is already out there in space and the only reason there hasn't been a response is because machine cultist is playing keep away with the swarm.
 
It might be worth it to look into a new form of nydus worm for our ground issue. One dedicated entirely to combat and is armored along with the ability to project acid.

On the space side I would suggest recreating the bio launchers. A sort of ground side evolution that can fire into atmosphere. Maybe use the basis of spider webs to help hold the acid together until it reaches the target.

The issue with that is getting it back, those were a Queen special. We can find but nothing compared to the tunnles which were an overmind special.
 
Just want to float the idea again, everyone seems to think they can control the zerg, they can parlay with the zerg, they can make the zerg see reason. We should maybe give it a shot. Go to the nice scientist and say

"Ah, my dear Adeptus of the Mechanicus, within the cold circuits of your heart and the vast archives of your ancient knowledge, have you ever calculated the odds of us meeting across the realms of time and space? Tell me of your Omnissiah, show me the intricate dances of your machinery. Imagine, for a moment, the fusion of our powers—you alone have the power to control the Zerg swarm, boundless and wild, with your relentless technological prowess. Together, we could redefine the meaning of perfection in the galaxy. So, tell me, would you dare explore the unknown variables of desire?"

Something like that I guess. Then we eat the stupid fuck if he comes close enough to monch.

It's for the future but also less motivation to exterminatos when the time comes beacuse the sea is impossible to clear for the imperium, dont want to be to noticable if we can reach a continent if it exists on the other side. But also its just more effichent for energy collection. A thin layer of the surface cant beat a suspended solution of cells in surface and light area

Buddy, they are going to exterminators us anyway. Its why we are going to take all we can and do what Zerg do best.

There is a big difference between being glassed and the exterminatis missile that shit is not even the last resort of resorts that shit hits so hard the air turns into a solid and the core jiggles like jelly.
Edit: they will just Exterminate us not Exterminatus they will just scour the sea air and land in chemicals and orbital bombardment without cracking the planet like a egg.

I mean this is the IoM, the information could have originally been sent to the sector capital in the clear only for it to be:
  1. Misinterpreted by the receiving astropath as a bad dream from their indigestion the night before
  2. Intentionally suppressed by the inquisition of the Ordo Xeno out of a desire to study this new threat
  3. Entirely lost when the only parchment containing the information was dropped in the wrong bin by an administratum clerk and sent to the incinerator
  4. Purged during a routine ritual scrap code purge which none of the tech priests still living knew about since the last person to actually understand the code they were working with was burned as a heretic approximately 1245.66 Teran years ago
etc..

Cool quest by the way, if any universe would be improved by adding zerg to it 40K is it :V

Buddy they will have to, its the Zerg. We don't give up worlds. And even that isn't likely to fully work given what zerg can pull off.

Yeah, we would probably survive on a dead world, we would not enjoy it to be clear, but we can process rocks and incinerated organics into more zerg, for the longest time we lived in Char. As for blowing up the planet, same problem, smaller pieces of rock.

Then there is the two stage planet imploder the two-stage cyclonic Torpedo.

The problem is not the end result it's like how I can eat a smoothie dont mean I climb into the mixer and turn it on or I can drink water but I dont jump out of a plane and hit it so hard it turns into the hardest substance on earth

Make deep enough holes and make enough of them and we will be... not fine but alive.

If I gain control I'll send a message to the Magos just for you.

Re:Exterminatus
This is why I want to do the warp expedition. Worst case we just bail and set up on a new planet. Heck we could even come back once the Imperium finishes the exterminatus.

Ooh I just realized we have trump card when it comes to diplomacy. We can permanently destroy daemons.

Er... it is 40K and we are off brand Tyranids as far as the locals are concerned. I do not think diplomacy is very likely unless we go to very far out of our way with just the right faction.

That said I think the only reason we were able to kill that daemon was that it was unwise enough to try to possess the swarm. We would need to develop at least some kind of externally focused telepathy to to that to demons outside of swarm-bodies.
 
I feel like an entire quarter of the mechanics actually being in-universe impossible, or nearly so, would feel like... Extremely weird from a design standpoint.

Infested
Once, so long ago, your life was a Terran one. Much of those memories are gone, but the kernel of something less, primitive, remains.
3d6 Diplomacy
2d6 Growth
1d8 Evolution
1d6 War.


Like, this would seem to suggest that Diplomacy probably is an option outside of one edge case 50,000 miles away from the narrative.

It's something I will also offer it's the generic plan going around

Genestealers exist but it was likely a action for If the Trios did not escalate in such noticable ways it's for us to convincing humans and aliens such as pretending to be fauna or trading grains with them to present ourself in a better light combine it with tech and some assisted evolution you could blend in better then a genestealer or ally with a xeno species I imagine
