Hivemind

Begin attempts to generate princes capable of breeding with female beetles.

Beetles are to be assimilated into hivemind, that we may find greater use for their abilities.

Assess current hive roster, eggs, and resources.

Plant more berry bushes leading east of the main hive.

Check findings from exploration team.

Hivemind

New plan devised.

Emaciate a small number of drones. Ensure beetles only encounter emaciated drones from now on.

Bait beetles into committing for full assault.

Once beetles are too far in to withdraw, collapse on them with EVERYTHING, and allow none to escape. (This includes launching assaults on the stolen forts)

Large beetles are to be prioritized for capture, normal beetles may be captured if situations allow. Capturing beetles with the sticky goo produced by workers should prove effective.

All is to be overseen by princes.

Hivemind

Proposal; produce prince subspecies outfitted with glands producing neurotoxic agents.

Neurotoxins are to place captured beetles into a more docile and suggestible state to better facilitate study.

Means to keep limbless captives alive during study should also be looked into.

Hivemind

Begin tunneling under known defensive positions being taken up by beetles.

Teams of warriors are to burst up from beneath the beetles before dragging them under and to their deaths. All offensives are to be overseen by Princes augmented with warrior-like traits.

Suggestion: perhaps a small, powerful pincer of the front most leg of warriors would allow them to tear away beetle shells.

Increase overall strength of warrior drones.

Study how beetles manage to remain unaffected by rain.

Hivemind

Above ground structures likely to draw attention to hive.

Counter-proposal:

Plant more berry bushes around hive before beginning above ground expanion.

Hivemind

Use previously gathered river stones to set up better drainage within the hive.

Hivemind

Send detatchment of drones, warriors, and a prince to explore east of secondary hive. Identify any potential threats, resources, or other things of interest.

Prioritize further cognitive enhancement of princes.

[Storms and Shadows] - A Black Crusade inspired 40k Chaos RP.

I dont think so.

Hivemind

Analyzing response from separate synapse.......

Resources lost from conflict can be reclaimed by cannibalizing dead. Hive does not need to continue expansion south. Further cultivation of berries calculated to greatly offset initial resource demands. Forest east of secondary hive yet to be explored, can send expeditionary forces to find new food. Project gain calculated to be greater than overall loss.

Warlord creation enables new possibilities for hive.

Limits of rapid advancement-- made to be tested.

PROJECT IS HIGHLY RECOMMENDED FOR UNDERTAKING.

Hivemind

New potential project available.

Goal: increase tactical capabilities of hive.

---

Prince development acknowledged-- produce 2 'Warlord' variant princes.

Warlords are to have further enhanced cognitive ability, as well as an extended lifespan surpassing that of even a queen.

Warlords are also to adopt traits of current warrior drones.

Warlords should have ability to command and micromanage lower ranking drones.

Tactical development project--

Two small hives; disconnected from any existing hives (or each other), are to be established on the eastern border and western border of beetle territory.

These hives are to be completely autonomous from the rest of the hive and must provide for themselves.

One warlord to each hive. Warlords are tasked with ensuring the survival and growth of their own hive, and to eradicate the other warlord's hive by any means necessary. Each warlord will be provided with 200 drones, 3 normal princes, a single queen, and a few days' food to start off with.

Warlords are prohibited from utilizing any resources in areas currently being used for the main hives.

Warlords are to be given full control of their own hive's evolutionary development and any other functions; but must still maintain subservience to the overall hivemind.

Warlords cannot send troops through territory already claimed by the main hive, and must find other routes to send forces.

Project will be considered complete when one warlord emerges victorious.
