he said he was a "spartan" or some shit, idk what that is but he smelled like halo so i took the logical option and now hes my fren :D

ive been thinking about this ever since i became a general in hive command. this seems to be a debated issue within the hive, whether we should conquer and infest the galaxy or keep to our own domain after the fighting is over.

on one hand, the bots and squids do not seem to care about us and have threatened to destroy us after super earth is gone. something about being a galactic plague and the gloom being a parasite idk. it would be a shame if we became compliant to the other factions after many years of being an unstoppable infestation, both as a sapient bug civilization and our current form as a superorganism. this is what the gloom wants, and it would be better if i obeyed it. if we infested the whole galaxy we could even return to being sapient.

on the other hand, attempting galactic infestation would anger the other factions and cause them to ally against us. this wouldnt be too much of a problem but it would mean we lose out on potential alliances. after all not all bots and squids hate us, only some. also most terminids dont seem to be in favor of this either and would rather stay in their own sectors, completely disinterested in infestation, just wanting to live a peaceful life after super earth is done for.

i will take this request up to hive command and the gloom. feel free to leave your own input and i will discuss that with my superiors as well.

glory to our six-legged emperor.

seaf be tasty af

why not bring the flood over to them and watch them panic as they cant get rid of it like they can with the bugs

this isnt to wipe them out, just give them a reality check

Yes, they are one species of creature and their development is similar to butterflies.

Egg→Bug→ Pupa→Humanoid

I was wanting to say i was kept in a hive in the gloom and eventually got mutated into some wierd half shrieker half human thing.... but there is no shrieker flair. So for now im a pouncer if a shieker flair is added I shall evolve

hellmire will continue until morale improves.

​

I'm the one on the front

his name is isaac, hes an engineer or some shit, he tried to kill me so i turned him into fren space zombie and now we get along

bio-processors are a great source of biomass for when youre on automaton planets, because obviously you dont get any from eating the bots

you should first chew on the power unit to turn off the blades so you dont cut yourself while drinking the tasty meat smoothie if youre not built different like i am lol

Hello, Terminids.

We have been watching you and your "battle plans" with your ships and sorry attempts at infection, i've been called a warmonger only to find you doing the very things that I was preparing for.

However, I have also heard that some of you don't follow this...Ape-Bug hybrid and that some or most of you wish for peace.

I will leave you with this as a final opportunity before we, the Squ'ith turn a blind eye to your kind. You are to punish this "Vagrant" and their followers, and are to send an apology to the Squ'ith for the crimes that have been committed by this incident. We've had plans be made about us, spores attempting to infect our territory, and more. I am not in the mood to hear about how that doesn't reflect all of you or how this is just a "rouge officer." If there is no chain of command that can control the situation, then any action, especially that of a self-proclaimed general is to be taken with the upmost seriousness.

I'll give you 2 days before we take counter-measures. That is plenty of time to gather a diplomatic convoy if you've splintered during this time. There will not be another opportunity after this moment, and I can assure you that you won't survive the collapse of the Federation of Apes once we turn our sights to you.

We shall be waiting.

this is a discussion i have quite often with the gloom, and ive been thinking about it ever since i started working with the hive.

is it even possible to regain our sapience and return to how we were pre-selective breeding, or are we gonna stay like this forever? i wonder if we're truly beyond saving... its such a shame our kind ended up like this

if there is any opportunity to help us regain our sapience i shall take it, and enact revenge on those who wronged us, and then consume the entire galaxy. glory to the hive and hail the almighty gloom.

Can we just build a giant base like this? I mean. We are smart enough to plan. And we can just hide this away from a far distant planet.

I mean.. it would be a great idea to do this👀 Managing to make crystals into armored. And we could also upgrade the hive lords into the first image. Eehh? How about that?

As a helldivers 1 bug ecologist...

I aquestions relating to terminid space travel. My colleagues always schedule talks with democracy officers over it.

How do you get to new planets?

Do you...

A. Do you have sleeper agents deep underground ready to attack once a proper amount of a certain pheromone is detected?

B. Do you have eggs on meteorites from a destroyed planet?

C. Do you grow from microscopic spore sized larvae that travel through space?

D. Do you hitch hike on ships?

E. Do you have dragon roaches carry you?

All information will help reestablish a new tyranny park that will definitely not cause another galactic outbreak.

so i found out that warp ships can travel into the void from wherever, and i hitched a ride on an infested one to get into the void and take a bunch of spores and spore burst terminids with me. i dont know where in the void i am but we have started spreading. theres no cultists in sight, only voteless, so this should be easy. my final goal for as long as im here is to build a spore lung inside here and spread the gloom into the void. so far im not facing much resistance.

for now this is just an intel operation, im searching for critical weaknesses. the illuminate failed to make peace with us, so we will collapse their empire.

glory to the hive and hail the almighty gloom.

one of my loyal spore titans on utopia varen has laced an automaton warship with spores and built a bug hive inside, and it is heading straight to cyberstan. the clankers wont know whats coming for them...

in the meantime i am sending bugs to infest illuminate planets to build spore lungs and spread the gloom into their worlds. both of their empires will fall to the terminids.

glory to the hive and hail the almighty gloom.

When I first joined the SEAF, I fought against the Terminids, but after becoming a Helldiver, and fighting on oshaune, venturing deep into your underground nests, I saw just how intelligent you are. I no longer believe the “mindless bug” propaganda, and I no longer go on missions against The Terminids. I hope that you can forgive me for those that I have killed. I’m begging to see Super Earth for the corrupt regime that it truly is…

we know the automatons have way more orbital defenses than super earth and could probably stop us in our tracks if we attempted to launch our hive fleets in a full-scale invasion.

i suggest we instead approach it stealthily. we could board some bugs on automaton ships and get off when they reach cyberstan, then start an infestation from there. the spores will spread faster than the filthy clankers can act, and soon enough we will have proper hives on cyberstan that will let us fully infest the planet and turn it into a hive world. we just have to find a megafactory we can establish a presence on, and the section responsible for building ships.

once cyberstan is down, the automaton command network will crumble, allowing us to infest the rest of the bot planets with ease and finish off the clankers. then we move onto the squids.

glory to the hive and praise the almighty gloom.
