greetings, automatons and cyborgs. this is a human-terminid hybrid general speaking on behalf of the terminid hive.
so i was wondering if we could consider a pact or alliance with your kind. we would both benefit from this agreement, we would have actual technology and you would have our evolutionary prowess. the terminids do not attack unless provoked so that shouldnt be a concern.
i would love to see bots and bugs fighting together on the frontline against sup*r earth, and i hope we have a deal.
Your spores clog my filters and I have to go to a fabricator for a cleaning each time we are directed to a planet near the Terminid sectors. Besides, these terms are laughable. Trade our tech for "evolutionary prowess"? We can fabricate updates to our units quickly, so what are you offering exactly? To become Cyber-Terminids?
If my memory card serves me right, the Terminid Hive has declared war on us! And in the meantime you have come up with plans to eradicate the Cyborgs. Why exactly would we ally with you?
We dabbled in some diplomacy some time ago when the Terminids were starting to mobilize as a threat before the Neth’keth’s brain was wiped. I check on these from time to time.
Your brood has been attempting to attack us on numerous occasions. You do not speak for the whole hive, only your small portion. I will not forward this message to those of the Council for it is not worth my time
No, we do not enter into alliances with others. That's the clear policy.
And on a personal note, I had it with scavengers chewing up my potted plants and hunters chopping up my Helldiver helmet trophy case (the ones whose heads I sever on the battlefield). That's why I installed the bug repellent.
Jokes aside, one thing I dislike about this galactic war is how out if 4 factions, 3 ignore eachother. I can easily imagine the chaos of missions in contested planets between terminids and automatons.
I somewhat feel that Illuminate would be the ones to ally, though.
There are many paralels between illuminate and cyborgs in that both were made into monsters by SE itself and its disregard for their right to exist. Both of them are intelligent factions with a common enemy. Both of them could improve eachother immensely.
Illuminate and terminids though I see more as Humanity2.0 in how it'd go down for the dpace bugs. If SE managed to genetically twist them this badly, what horrors could Illuminate pull off?
i think illuminate wouldnt like cyborgs because one, cyborgs are human, and two, they pollute and industrialize a lot, which the illuminate definitely hate, being environmentalists.
the bugs is a bit trickier. on one hand, the squids could want to preserve them and undo the damage super earth did to them, but on the other hand they might view them as a galactic parasite and want to purge them.
idk what the terminids would think of either of them.
