I look around for a convenient exit big enough to fit both me and my snack.

Is there any chance we can drag this fucker away? Is the emitter still freaking out?

>>25289656
When you say he is disabling the emitter, do you mean he's preventing it from being closed or opened again? If we can stop him, we can eat them both with everyone trapped outside, right?

>>25289782
Yeah, but then how do we get to all of those tasty meats outside?

>>25289656
Consume it!

>>25289847
We can worry about that later, first we need to not get trampled by the creatures. We're not quite powerful enough to attack outright.

The creature beneath you hangs limply as you drag it by the neck in between the cargo crates that lie scattered about the metal cavern. You heave and pull and get the thing to one of the small doors to the rest of the ship, which swings open as you arrive. You clamber in, and continue pulling, but something on the suit catches on the door, and you lose your grip.

You hear the emitter, the device which pulled the cargo doors inwards with great force, begin to wind down, it's hum falling.

You pull with all your feeble strength, digging your pointed legs into the grating on the floor. Something on the suit snaps, and with a wrench your prize comes free and you and it slide across the thin hall and into the room opposite. The door to the cargo hold shuts with a hiss, and so does the door to your room, as you pull the creature inside.

Hungrily you tear into the meatbag's puffy white shell, scattering it around the room and sinking your teeth into the flesh and feathers beneath.

>Pick one of:
>Colour vision
>Enhanced hearing
>Jumping

Another bird creature without a stinger. You are begining to wonder if the one with it was an anomaly.

You take stock of your surroundings. You are in a large room, filled with pipes and metal. Some of the metal is glowing. You can hear liquid being pumped and something spinning. You can't hear anything outside over the noise.

>>25290097
Jumping. Right now nothing is more important than mobility. The faster we close the distance the faster we eat.

>>25290097
Does the jumping make our legs better? Exactly how good?

>>25290097

WE FACEHUGGER NOAW!

My vote goes for Jumping.

As for direction, following the flow of the water along the pipes

>>25290153
I second this.

>>25290097
>Jumping
It will help us devour more!

>>25290153
I just watched Alien for the first time. As soon as the movie was over, I go to /tg/ and find this quests. It was meant to happen.

>>25290097
Hmmm, considering what we're about to get into I think hearing is going to be the best option. Jumping is a close second, though.

You feel your hind legs grow and shift. Their form changes, with the upper portion going from chitinious to fleshy, with strong muscles in the thighs. The lower ends still end in dull spikes.

You leap easily onto the pipes, and follow them. One end ends at a mess of metal tubing, the other reaches the wall. You recall from your previous explorations of the ship that this around about where the ship ends.

The machinery in the room continues making noises. The things which were glowing seem to be glowing less as time passes. A word bubbles up in your mind: Engines.

>>25290279
Hey guys here's a crazy Idea let's try and turn the engines on and crash the ship into the station so we can get easily available food.

>>25290279
I say we get out of this ship, we've eaten almost everyone, and we have a nice full asteroid station full of delicious meat to eat. Find us a way outside to leave, but before that, let's wreck up the engines a bit. Tear up some of the wiring, or a few chunks out of the engine.

>>25290279
Probably best if we get out of here, would seem the engine is failing.

Let us find a nice air duct to go crawling around in search of more delicious, that is, if the smoke has stopped

>>25290279
Yea I'd like to get out of this place.

>>25290279
Let's get off the ship, I agree. Find our way onto this outpost, whatever it is.

>>25290334
Agreed, the air ducts have yet to fail us. Fucking with the engines is too risky, if it blows we're boned.

Most of the acrid black smoke that was flooding the ship was ejected out when the cargo doors imploded. The cargo bay is mostly clean, but the other rooms, including the one you are in, are still about half full. Your feathers are puffed up and protect you from that, but the ventilation system itself is still pumping out more smoke. It would probably burn if you tried to hide in the vents again.

You search the room thoroughly examining the engines and the mess of pipes.

You find a flat board of switches and glowing lights near the engines, and another near the pipes. The engines are hot to the touch where they glow. On the pipes you find many levers and valves. The pipes gurgle and slosh as the fluid passes through them.

>>25290474
start turning valves.

Either we destroy the ship, or save it.

Or some combination of both.

Those disgusting metal things! Bite them! Slash them!

>>25290690
Well that...probably got a few people wet.
Still, distraction. Let's get out of this ship. Do we know the way out?

You bite and twist a few of the valves and levers. A voice speaks out of the box of lights: "Emergency fuel dump. Avoid open flames. Avoid electrical sparks."

There is an almighty wet thud and the pipes you are balanced on begin shuddering. Numerous pumps whine as liquid flows from the mess of pipes towards the outer wall of the ship.

Then all of a sudden the noise stops, and you hear nothing but silence. Even the engines no longer whine. For good measure you bite the control panel, and one of the pipes opens up, a hidden hatch. You could probably fit inside.

>>25290741
Lets go

>>25290741
"hey it fixed the ship..how could it fix the ship its an animal man!!"

>>25290741
Hidden hatch you say? Let's ago! I want to investigate.

>>25290741
Maybe there's treasure. Inside.

>>25290775
Is the treasure delicious?

>>25290787
Isn't that what treasure means?

>>25290741
HIDDEN HATCH HIDDEN HATCH

You crawl into the maze of pipes and explore. You find many large empty cylindrical tubes, but nothing delicious. Your feathers become matted with greasy fuel and you feel filthy. Make your way towards the outside of the ship, pulling yourself through the sludge with your feathers. It takes some time. When you reach the outside, and gingerly peer out, the brightness momentarily blinds you.

When your vision clears you see a tube hanging loosely from a metal structure just across from you. A large metal box standing on black circles sits off to the side, connected to the metal structure with more tubes. There is a mess of spilled fuel covering everything nearby. There is something humanoid moving in the spill. Something delicious.

>>25290866
Jump on it. Hit it with the

>>25290866

>nofunallowed.png

It's not metagaming if you don't like it.

>>25290894
The stinger has thusfar been useless. It obviously requires further upgrades to be effective. Just leave it for now.

>>25290924
I didn't realize it was fun for you to die and end the quest.

>>25290866
Time to put our new legs to the test, jump on it and bite it's neck. Also we should see if we can preen or feathers after.

You leap across to the metal structure. The filth covering you causes you to slip, but you manage to catch yourself with your limbs, hanging between a few metal bars. A few metres beneath you, and a few lengths to the side the delicious thing manages to sit up, wiping fuel from it's face.

"What the fuck are they thinking? This stuff isn't cheap and I ain't paying for it!"
It slides itself over to the huge metal box, and punches something. Fuel stops dribbling out from the tubes hanging from the structure you are on.

You contemplate falling stinger first on the thing. The last time you tried to sting things you got your stinger bitten off. You can't even make out where this thing has it's teeth, if it has any at all, and think it probably best not to risk that approach.

From the other side of the ship you hear a commotion.

>OP is going to find himself something delicious to eat, I'll be back in ten minutes or so.
>Maybe spend the time figuring out how to eat this thing.

>>25290908

I'm in favor of this approach.

>>25290922
We WILL upgrade the stinger into a weapon, but for now it seems ineffective.

>>25291116

Wait and watch, maybe follow it if we're sneaky enough.

>>25291116
Excellent, some time to plan. We're hanging above it currently, and he's all alone...I say we're in a really good position to catch him from behind.

Let's drop down behind the thing and leap onto it's neck and snap into it with our jaws. At the very least we'll prevent him from screaming.

>>25291152

>>25291362

Actually if we have a stinger, could that also mean we could "evolve" the other half as well and go broodmother route as well?

>>25291414
We don't understand the word 'penis', and therefore call it a stinger.
But it's a penis. A useless one at that.

Don't worry, though. We'll fix that in time.

>>25291414
Nobody knows. We never tried it. Every time someone brings it up, everyone shoots them down.

>>25291431
That isn't my question.

spoiler- the stinger is a dick, man. Find a feathered bitch without a stinger and find a hole to sting it in, if you know what I mean
we broodmother now

>>25291448
Well we got it from a birdman, right? So next time we kill a birdwoman, let's take her lady parts too. Then we can mix them up and mutate that shit.

>>25291467
My stinger is liking the way that thought is going

>>25291442
>Never tried it
You're new here, huh? We got burned in half, and our 'stinger' bitten off the last time we used it.

Seriously, it's not worth it.

>>25291504
>>25291442
I'm beginning to feel like people aren't actually reading.

What is being asked is that should get a womb as well so we can both broodmother and ovipositor

>>25291467
nah man, let's incapacitate a birdwoman, drag her off to a comfy spot and seed all her orifices with viscous bioweapon cum. Then, see what grows out of it

Speaking of burned in half, should we try to put on some size soon? I feel like that would be under the "other" category of mutations.

>>25291560
I want to rape goddamn it

>>25291560
Broodmother? Sure, why not? We'll be the most fertile motherfucker in existance.

>>25291592
Why should we let their bodies have a say in the development of our servants?

You pull yourself up into the metal structure, a network of metal pipes with a pair of tubes running from the ship to the large metal box, and climb carefully and slowly down towards the creature.

The creature pulls itself to it's feet and mutters to itself.
"Right, what's procedure? Get in truck, call boss, clean up. Right."
It pulls the door of the 'truck' open and reaches inside.

You slink down the tubes and onto the roof of the truck, landing with a splorch.

You hear the creature talking to someone, but you can't hear it well through the matted feathers covering your ears. You make out the words 'recall' and 'bath'.

It would be easy enough to drop down and leap into the open door...

>>25291582
I think that happens at OP's discretion...

>>25291582

Can we at least get some more combat effectiveness before we go down the rabbit hole and start developing a rape pit!?

>>25291724
As much as I like rape and incest, the lack of genetic diversity that will result from that plan simply isn't beneficial.

Doesn't me we can't rape on the side after we get some more useful bits

>>25291724
I approve.

You drop down, your fall barely cushioned by sodden feathers. The creature pulls itself into it's truck, and begins closing the door...

You start to leap, and then realise that the slippery gunk makes it extremely hard for your footless legs to get purchase on the stone!

Your feet catch on something and you propell yourself forwards. You just get past the closing door and slide all the way across the truck and hit the door opposite with a squelch. You find yourself tangled up under the creature's steat.

As you unwind yourself the creature stamps on a metal flange, and the truck rumbles, beginning to move.

You are currently lying on the opposite side of the truck's cabin from the humanoid fleshbag. Gunk drips from you occasionally, mixing with the sounds of drips from all around. The creature smells delicious.

>>25291965
Leap on him and eat him already! He's vulnerable, he has no way of escape! Rip out this guy's throat!


...But first clean our feathers a little so we're not quite as slippery.

>>25291592

>>25292007

Crawl up his pant leg and eat him.

The truck rumbles onward. You loop over yourself and pull your tail through the loop, sliding yourself through a knot and knocking most of the slimy fuel from your feathers.

Suddenly the fleshbag stamps on another pedal, and you are flung hard to the other side of the cabin.
"Fucking cock-brained morons don't know how to drive!"
It's probably a good thing you didn't bite him around about now.

You pick yourself up and run your mandibles over your feathers, cleaning off as much gunk as you can.

Eventually you are mostly clean, albeit not perfectly. You make sure your legs can find purchase on the floor. The truck arrives at it's destination, and the thing opens it's door and shouts out.
"Margo, I'm back!"
"Alright. Use the emergency shower, you don't want your skin turning green like those hussys aliens."

>>25292183
Eat him in the shower

>>25292183
Dammit, the flesh bag is getting away....

>>25292183
...Hussy aliens? Now I'm curious.
>>25292213
While not a bad idea, let's poke our head out and see what's going on?

>>25292183
Let's investigate where we are and what this rock looks like from the outside...don't give away our position, let's just check it out.

>>25292329

Seconded.

>>25292183
Wait until he steps in the shower and use the sound of the water as cover to devour him.

Observe surroundings, light levels, size of area, possible cover, number of fleshy meat bipeds, etc

"You only call them hussy's because one slept with you in college and you forgot to wrap your tool."
"I didn't expect her to get kids! She's and alien, how is that meant to work anyway?"

The creature jumps out of the truck, spreading more slimy fuel on the ground. It strips out of it's protective outer layers, revealing it's pink fleshy form. It has a stinger hanging between it's legs. It looks different from yours. It walks out of your view.

"You going to help me clean the truck?"
"Hell no! I'm trying to call those dicks to make sure they're paying for the mess!"

You hear a door open and close,and stick your head out of the truck.

You are in a large room. Behind the truck is a corrigated metal door. Off to one side are two large cylinders, similar to those you saw on the ship, with piping connecting them to various things. There is a table covered in strangely shaped metal things, and what look like parts of the truck, torn off and hung from the walls like trophys. On one wall there are a few doors, two at ground level and one above, with a set of stairs going up. There is a light on in the upstairs room. A trail of fuel leads to one of the lower doors.

>>25292183
Keep waiting. Who knows where they are taking us.

We'll devour them both when the vehicle stops

>>25292389

You creep across the floor, following the trail of fuel. When you near the door you can hear running water, splashing against stone, coming from behind. You go to pass through the door, but it doesn't open automatically! You run into it with a thump.
"You done already? That was quick, what did they say?"
You look up, and see a lever on the door, covered in more fuel. You jump up and bite it, using your weight to pull it down, and the door opens.

You see, silhouetted against the showercurtain the human. Delicious. You creep across the floor a few steps at a time, as quitely as you can.

You make it a third of the way. "Come on Margo, I'm all up for messing about in the shower but this stuff stinks!"

You creep two thirds of the way. "No seriously, I'd have a hard time keeping it up. How about after we clean it all up, alright?"

You creep forwards to just outside the curtain. "....Margo?"

You leap, tearing the curtain from the shower and landing on the thing's face. You wrap your tail around it's neck, covering it's mouth with the thin oily material.

It gurgles as it tries to cry for help, struggling as you hold it under the flowing water. It grabs at you, and you bite it's hands.

Soon enough it collapses and falls to the cold stone floor, and bite into it

Delicious.

>What the hell, have another choice:
>Adrenaline gland - A boost to strength and speed if your life is in danger!

>>25292725
Knowledge is power

>>25292725
I'll have to go with Voice. Knowledge is a temporary skill, only useful while we are here, and a small size is actually useful for now. Wait on size upgrades until we have limbs.

>>25292725
>>25292751
voice

Rolled 39

>>25292726
We don't necessarily have to turn into a xenomorph. I'm not sure whether we should increase size yet, our capacity for murder seems pretty solid at this size right now, although that may change when we encounter more crabs. Voting for voice, because I want a tongue for reasons.

>>25292738
>>25292750
Guys, we're a bioweapon, not a scientist. Let's invest in some more immediately useful venture.

>>25292756
I could apply to anything mechanical. The guy was working on the ship we were just on

>>25292725

Voice

>>25292756
Knowledge also lets me use the actual words for things, instead of describing refuelling trucks as metal boxes, and fuel tanks as metal cylinders.

Knowledge.

Voice, VOICE!

Rolled 8

>>25292725

I wanted to know. Can we eventually pass for something normal ? I mean, with voice and knowledge and means to control our instincts ?

Or do we get identified on sight as a murderous evil bug if we try to show ourselves, no matter what ?

Rolled 26

>>25292784
Okay, then Knowledge. That is useful. Changing vote to knowledge.

Knowledge

>>25292802
Clarified: Margo seems to be the boss, and therefore will know more, so if everyone is so goddamned fixated on being the smartest little murder-crabsnake we should eat her brains instead

>>25292836
No, still voice here.

>>25292837
I think Margo is a dude

>>25292784

I find it charming.

My vote stays voice.

I gotta vote voice. It'll allow us to trick Margo.

>>25292833
>If you managed to become able to understand social interactions, and you didn't look like a murdermachine, sentient creatures might talk to you, instead of kill you. Currently you can hide your teeth and sharp bits beneath your feathers, if you puff them up, and aren't covered in goop.

>>25292726
Predators utilized mimicry pretty good. Just saying.

(Voice)

I'm saying knowledge on this one, Toque. It's kinda hard to glean wtf we're looking at half the time, and it'll make describing things a lot easier for you too.

>>25292878
Knowledge

>votes everywhere
>Calling it here, I need to count them up properly.

voice now and knowledge from margo.

>>25292833
We're not the thing, and our evolutions take a lot of biomass, so I think its best if we place this goal on the back burner in lieu of more immediate combat effectiveness. We're still getting consistently injured fighting crabs.

Alright, so we got 2 humans here, right? So that's 2 gifts assuming we kill them both. So whats going to best get us that second kill?

Voice: Call her to the shower. Bonus points: super creepy.
Knowledge: Know where she is and the layout of the dwelling, her habits, etc.
Hands: Fuck faggoty hands.

I guess I'm okay with going Knowledge THEN voice. But I really want voice.

>>25292887
Yes, but there is already a good predator quest. This is something new anyways. This is the only quest where you straight up play as a irredeemable eating machine.

>>25292833
>>25292878
I don't think we should do that. Normality would really go against the feel of the quest. I think we should be a vicious predator.

The perfect organism. Our structural perfection matched only by our hostility. A survivor, unclouded by conscience, remorse, or delusions of morality.

>>25292924
We established last thread that "biomass" isn't a thing. Newton can go fuck himself, we destroy mass like a motherfucker.

The shitweasel performs nuclear fission with flesh.

We are pure power

>>25292937
I don't understand why you want voice. We are still incredibly weak when it comes to full on combat and should remedy that immediately. Without the element of surprise, we're killed incredibly easily by anyone who's armed.

Talking would sort of ruin the mystique. It's not so important.

>>25292947
It might work like in Prototype, just super dense

>One vote majoritory in favor of voice.
Your mouth shifts and changes, you gain a lower jaw and a tongue. Your throat also changes, allowing you to make a variety of noises. You can speak, and you sound like this creature you just ate.

You realise that this creature was a human. You also realise it has it's own stinger, which is different from yours. You compare them, and think about how your own biology works. You stinger will allow you to breed with members of your own species. You are not sure you even classify as a 'species', let alone one with other members in it.

There isn't as much mess from this kill as there was previously. The water falls from above you, washing away the remains of the filthy fuel and the creature's blood.

You puff out your feathers and shake, spraying water everywhere.

>>25292947
sorry, wrong word, I just meant that we can't transform at will and each small transformation takes a kill, so changing our overall appearance would take a fuckton of kills that could be better spent furthering our ability to RIP AND TEAR

>>25292973
none of the abilities accept for maybe adrenal glands would give us a combat boost. These are all mostly social.

>>25292947
Nope, covered that, no weight gain.

>>25292984
>Voice
god damn it

>>25292984
God damnit guys. We haven't gained any combat efficiency. Still so far from "The perfect organism"

Alright. See if you can call in Margo or whatever to "help you in the shower", heh.

>>25292984
lets go to Margo.

>>25292984
Alright, let's find a hiding place and wait for the other creature to come see what happened to the guy that we just ate, then surprise attack it.

>>25292984
Well...I guess let's test it out?
Call for Margo, and let's go verbally seduce her. Tell her to come in the shower, please, and then leap on her back when she does and eat her head.

Rolled 18

>>25292973
>We are still incredibly weak when it comes to full on combat and should remedy that immediately.
I don't disagree, but very little on a human is going to help with that. Unless you want to start shooting ray guns at people, which will burn then, and we established that burned things are undelicious.

Hence, voice.

>>25292984
Alright, I vote we use this solely for mimicry, as actually conversing with flesh-pinatas is beneath us and will totally ruin the atmosphere. Diplomacy is for people, and we are not people.

So lets call for Margo and get us some motherfucking brain-meats.

>>25293030
Agreed.

>>25292984
>You stinger will allow you to breed with members of your own species.
We tried stabbing them with our dick, that's hilarious.

Rolled 27

>>25293021
Call out.
"Maaargoooo."
wait a tick
"Maaaaaaaaaaaargooo."
We giggle to ourselves, because we can giggle now.
Hide in shower and wait.

You walk back out, remembering to use the lever on the door, into the main room with the truck. You hear the other fleshbag talking upstairs, so you slink up them and curl up at the door.

"What do you mean you can't get through to them? An emergency? What sort?"
There is a pause.
"Hostile life form? Well shit. Is security there?"
Another pause.
"Okay."

>What do you say?

>>25293047
goddamnit we were so stupidly excited to have a stinger, I cannot fucking believe no one called that being a dick before we chose it, haha

>>25293068
"Margo I'm finished. Where are you at?"

Rolled 72

Try to fluff our feathers in a vague approximation of the human silluette, so when she sees us through the fogged glass, she suspects nothing. Continue to call her.

If she doesn't respond to seduction (I know my wife doesn't crawl into the shower with me every time I coo at her) act hurt, like we fell and need help.

>>25293068
"Margo? Sweetie? Can you come here, I missed you today..."

Then wait till she passes the door...and strike.

>>25293096
Seconding that

>>25293068
Wait for it to get off the talk-box before anything, then call out "Margo!" Not in an urgent tone, just like a "hey, come here" voice

>>25293068
>>25293080

"Hey, Margo? Kinda slipped and fell! Mind giving me a hand?"

>>25293074
just read the archives, how were you all so dumb?
>avian
>stinger
>has the upperhand
>the other lets out a squack, and falls unconscious.

>>25293096
Sweetie is what you call cake. Don't spaghetti everywhere before you have a chance to eat.

>>25293096
do we even know if they have that sorta relationship? Hell is Margo a woman?

Rolled 23

>>25293074
We all did. All of us except you. Why do you think we wanted it so badly?

>>25293068
"It was a joke, Margo." then giggle, because we can giggle now. "Margo..." say slyly, slowly, quietly coming up behind her, giggling softly. "Just a little... jokey joke."

Then eat her brains.

>>25293133
She apparently is. And who knows? Maybe the weird sentence will get her attention.

All we need is for her to pass the door. We need to eat.

>>25293131
Hold your panties, I'm thinking mainly of evolution here, I assure you.

>>25293133
Probably not a woman, but still the relationship was hinted at.

Didn't the guy we just ate say something about margo "not wrapping their tool?"

"Fleshbag, I'm finished. Where are you at?"
"What?"
"Meat-Pinata, Sweetie? Can you come here, I missed you today?"
"Are you okay, Gunthrey?"
"Hey, Delicious? Kinda slipped and fell! Mind giving me a hand?"
"Did you eat the stuff? Goddamn. You know you're not meant to eat it!"
It appears there's still something about this talking thing you don't get.

You hear footsteps approaching the door.

You hide behind the door as the creature opens the door. You wait for just a moment as it swings shut, slamming closed, and use that noise to mask the sound of your legs scraping on the metal stairs as you leap.

You impact teeth first on the back of it's neck, forcing it forwards into the metal railing on the stairs and snapping it's neck. Hungrily you bite into the fleshbag's delicious succulant flesh.

Your biology shifts once again, you gain one of:
>Colour vision - More sensory information!
>Knowledge - What is this place, and all these things everywhere?
>Adrenaline gland - Combat boost!

>>25293377
Being able to talk is important for a variety of reasons, most of which involve luring our prey, the rest of which involve fooling people that everything is fine.

It would be pretty smart to come up with a longer-term plan on where to go and whatnot, so I think knowledge would be a good buy next time anyways.

>>25293395
You chuckle mercilessly to yourself as you feast.

>>25293418
Knowledge

>>25293418
I'm tempted to go with Adrenaline Gland, but I'll go with Knowledge instead.

I think need to get some way of restraining or strangling people so we can rape them without resistance

secondly, wtf do we look like? any drawfags want to describe how we have a crawling millipede legs but huge muscular hind legs?

>>25293517
But we do not rape, we feast.

>>25293477
Any chance we would utilize poo as a weapon? With all the mass we've absorbed... all that ammo.
