The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen(And others)

"if you feel like having a share in the command of a growing hive of cockroaches"
he can feel that she's intentionally playing with the idea, the infiltrator subtly glances his way

Amo: ......excuse me? ...and cockroaches?

"if we can survive a virus bombing then that's one less weapon of mass destruction the Imperials can effectively throw at us"

Amo: Yes, obviously. I meant the other part mostly.

"we've heard the term used plenty of times, is my use of it weird?"

Amo: no, just surprising. Together with the non-verbal communication, it could be misinterpreted to have a secondary meaning, which I found more than surprising.

"I suppose I'm getting better at this"

Amo: and was the secondary meaning intentional? But yes, I noticed on the improving speech and the whole tea-having affair.

"probably not, this body has no reproductive organs if that's where you're headed. yes the plating on the crotch-like area is just plating"

Amo: ah, i see. I was not considering that particular question but maybe that knowledge will come in handy at some point...

"I won't bother trying to figure out how it would be"

Amo: me being thrown into a pool, most likely. Anyway, moving on. When do you think you will take on that challenge?

Ooc good job with the developement btw. I never manage to make characters grow so gradually...

OOC thanks, I guess I just practice it a lot on my off time

.......ic?

"it shouldn't be too long. I'll use the flora to test specific bioforms. I'll note to use tunneling bioforms to set up a network across the planet so I can test bioforms in different 'patches' of flora on this world as well"

Amo: feel free. Well then, do you want to snatch some life eating virus before, or after that?

"we're branching anyway, grab it at your own time we'll still be here"

Amo: oh? I thought you would be interested to see how humans behave and function when not threatened by imminent dinner...them being the main dish...

Ooc. About to reach home ststion. Will be gone 30ish mins. Possibly 45.

Thorgar: "You have found a strange specimen of a tyranid... I wonder, do all higher hive creatures gain personalities when cut off from the hivemind."

Amo: hardly. She is the manieth attempt.

Ooc. .....where ya gits at?

Thorgar: "hmmmm."

Amo: ...hmmmm? I wonder what our little knight in shining armor over there thinks...

"do you visit the Imperium so little?"

Amo: not to sate my curiosity, but yours... if you have it, that is...

Knight: "I think this creature is an abomination, who's kin have destroyed worlds."

Amo: *cough* exterminatus *cough*

the infiltrator shifts her gaze upward as she taps her chin.
"hmm I mean sure I'll give this form and it's equipment a run as soon as you're heading out. why am I resisting this point?"

Knight: "Exterminatus is only carried out to save lives."

Amo: *to queeny* Because you would feel uncomfortable going into enemy territory at all, not to mention without guard organisms, due to many years of experience, habit, and knowledge of what could happen? *to knighty* Well, eating worlds is carried out to create them... So, who is in the right here?

Knight: "The species with individual intelligence that has capabilities beyond killing and eating? Oh yeah, gonna go with that one."

Cyra: *Drinking her... whatever it is* "He's got you there."

"that would explain it, still working out my conscious and unconscious functions, along with instincts"

Amo: instincts are good. They tell you many useful things. But personally, I trust my conscious over it. *to the knight* The results are the same though: a planet's worth o people dead, and a planet unusable

"we queens rarely have to use our instincts over our conscious. commanding the swarm is instinctual to do but the specifics need to be thought out"

Knight: "And either a threat to humanity eradicated, or a threat doubled."

Amo: Lets not get into this any deeper.... your brothers have killed the kind of everyone present here.... As for the instincts... You should probably learn to listen to them when it matters. In the warp, logic is not applicable, unless you make it so... Instincts are often the best way to discern what you need to know

Knight: "And your kind killed themselves."

Amo: *cough*horusheresy*cough*

Thorgar: "Cough. Slaanesh. A-cough"

Cyra: "Again, they got you bang to rights"

Amo: well the same happened to them! How is this their victory and not a draw?!

Thorgar: "Because, some of them fell to chaos, and fought eachother, you people murderfucked a god into existence, and MADE THE EYE OF TERROR."

Amo: quite the lasting achievement, no?

Cyra: "Thanks for that, by the way.... But on the scale of fuckups... annihilating your own empire by fucking too much is pretty high up there."

Amo: Hey, dont blame me. I wasnt the one doing it

Cyra: "Only because it hurts to touch you. You'd have been all up in that."

Amo: as far as I recall, "hurt" was a desirable thing back then...

Cyra: "heh... you'd have been able to find someone into that."

Amo: Yeah, but instead I got kicked out. Oh, what a tragic backstory

Thorgar: "You poor bastard, never had a woman?"
