Alien invasion [IC]

[niw18]

---

The cave is enormous which allows the Colossal Queen to roam through its multi-locations. The caves are divided up into functions that the queen sees it is needed. the main entrance of the cave in which open area then two caves to chose from is where the army prepares to strike when the elite team opens up the opponutiny. the first cave glowing orange like light leads to another open space that even human can see it due to reflected light going through series of natural crystals found in the cave. Inside there are many nests that is used as beds for kythons to sleep. above them is a naturally made plateau where a massive nest is found where the current queen sleeps and can oversee the army and kython subjects. There is to the right another cave where it open that is used to spar and educate juvenile and adult kythons for the upcoming war. the Second cave appears to be mostly flooded but to the left, there is a damp deep cave heavily patrolled and guarded by a troop of slayemasters a slaughtering, and a couple of impalers. what they guarding are unhatched brood and broodlings. A team adult kython can be seen carrying partial alive pray to them to feed on and hunt if they more live let on. To right is a path that is covered in shallow water that leads to the evaluated opening where princess Nagali and the rest elite nest and call a home base. there is a secret path where that can meet the queen and get assigned to missions.

Today is the day you are all in-home base waiting to be assined a mission but you all have some free time you all start waking up in your provided makeshift nest that was built for you by adult kythons under orders of the queen. The cave rather large as to the right of dark damp elevated cave is where you are the nest. To left is the place for you all to meet and where some group makes stuff etc. The center is a path the winds down where you meet the queen and where she personally assigned the group to many available quests she needs to do.

Future

The small slug-like kython takes great care to cleanse each egg with its own mucus, wiping away fungus and scrubbing off tiny parasites that many of its kin would simply ignore, before draping its entire body over an egg; this allows it to quickly gauge the egg's temperature so Future can direct its many peaceful Saimyosho attendants to ferry the egg to a warmer or cooler location, or prepare for the egg to hatch. Future works obsessively and tirelessly to examine each egg of a seemingly infinite pile before it must abandon these duties to serve the Hive in a more aggressive capacity; today, or perhaps tomorrow, it expects to be called to battle for the hive, but Future will not stop cleaning these eggs even a moment before it absolutely needs to leave.

Fervour, Future's most powerful servant Saimyosho, patrols the lines of injured prey brought to the communal food storage. Any livestock that seems capable of mounting resistance against it's fate is promptly stung, allowing Saimyosho poison to intermingle with Kython poison in the prey's bloodstream. Kython Venom, while potent, is mostly a Myotoxic that damages Muscle Tissue but Saimyosho Poison is a Hematoxic that permanently devastates the prey's entire body; even if the prey somehow escapes it will never fully recover.

[Paddywagon Man]

Demiesen seems to revel in his natural Kython form as he returns to the cave and drops his transformation, flexing limbs normally hidden under his humanoid disguise.

Having lived so long apart from a hive, and with devotion to his primal spirits largely filling a queen's role, Demiesen has always been something of an outsider to the Kython cave - but any opportunity to walk freely in his true form is a welcome escape, and he pursues the hive's missions with loyalty and ruthlessness.

[Biscuit]

Slathron is perched on a slightly elevated ledge near the room's entrance, where it has its nest. Below it is a broodling, a gash down one leg oozing ichor. The tentacle whip symbiont attached to Slashron's right arm slithers downthe rock face to brush the broodling and pulses with energy. The broodling's wound heals over in a moment and it chirps in pleasure before darting away. Slathron's head orients slightly on the broodling as it leaves, expression impassive. Nodding to itself in acceptance of his secondary role in the hive as a remedial medic, Slathron's tail coiled under it undulates as it shifts position slightly, surrounded by the soft hissing sounds of as-yet immature broodlings with the occasional squishing sounds of Future's seemingly fanatic egg-cleaning nearby, seemingly content to simply rest and occupy his mind with its own thoughts.

Shifting his head's orientation to follow Demiesen as he enters the cave, Slathron hisses in simple greeting - a habit kept from its broodling days, before adulthood when speech came. Cocking its head slightly, it assesses Demiesen's health quickly and simply nods and settles back into its nest after judging that the corrupted kython is currently uninjured.

In a corner of the room, next to a small pile of books, gems and a set of Mechanus armor sleeps an usual humanoid in a pile of straw. The princess finally stirs, and sits up. letting her long straight silver hair move with her and allow her bangs to hide her black and red functionless eyes. She then stretches her dark blue-3green scale and chitinous covered arms out, followed by the two chitinous limbs that end with dangerously sharp serrated blades that rivaled a dragon's claws. She brushes some dust off of the worn dark blue dress she wore. Unlike Demiesen, she found her humanoid form to be as much part of as her monstrous form.

"Ah, has mothered not called for us yet?" Nagali asks after a yawn.

[Geeksthenewsexy]

Snarling in his corner nearby, Xrniavxxel's guttural and grating bass sounds out in response to Nagali, "N̬͍̮̹̕o̹̗̠͎͙̝.͏̜ ̷̗͕̱̫̣̺I̠̬͎̙͔̱͘ͅ ̮̻̞̱͍̩h̹̪͔͕̲͜a͚̻͔t̟̜̞̘̣̗͘e̴̲͙͖̣̗̳ ̀w̬̖̣͕̹̫͢a̱͔̥̻̜i̶͇͖̳ͅț̜i̗̣͈̭͇̟n̖͠g̸̹͓͙̻̪̻̲,̛̲ ̟͈ w͍̣̝͇͜h̡̩̞e͉͓̯̥̦͘ņ͔ ҉̺̬̣I ̝͙ͅc͔̪̮̖͚͎o̶̮̪̹ͅu̗̮̱ļ̗͇͚d ̱̼͖bé ḩu̫̖n̘̞̯̹̣t̹̙͇̭̥in̼͓̝̦̲g̥͍̞̫.͕"

Clawing the porous rock face next to his nest, Xrn sharpens his claws meticulously for lack of anything else to do, a low growl seemingly ever-present in the impatient and bloodthirsty scout. Bare of any equipment and not in possession of material belongings whatsoever, he lived a life more animalistic than his fellow evolved brood mates. However, having nothing to distract him but his role as scout and tracker, he often became irritable when forced to cease hunting or fighting, and only stayed in the cave outside of eating or resting when the queen demanded it.

Zoanthrope silently inspects dozens of miscellaneous items. It unceremoniously dumps parts of ruined equipment and tarnished pieces of armor, but gems and baubles are held gently with its minor telekinetic power. Possessed of intellect to rival the queen, the psionic monstrosity acts almost like a vizier of the hive. Serving as a specialized bodyguard for Nagali, Zoanthrope is always in the same cave chamber, never speaking and never straying from the princess's presence.

[niw18]

The adult looking kython would awake and would have done his daily mediation as he did he heard others awaking and once his mediation finish he noticed the princess awaken and give her a nod of acknowledgment and respect for next queen. He noticed others awaken as well but princess was major concern and nod to them and take his spot to her side to protect her as he was ordered to. He would look to the princess and shock his head and looked to the others "what do you think she well make us do I heard human village nearby their also a group human camp of troops a few feet away I heard" he would say to the group in general.

[Geeksthenewsexy]

Visibly salivating, Xrniavxxel's guttural and grating voice hisses in response to the question, "I͉ h͔o̜p̣e͖ i̞̱t͇̭ i͓̰s͔̺ a̱̗͙ c̗͖͙o̰̗̟ṃ̖͎m̱̳͉̪a̩̜̩̮n͚̫̫͍d͙͔̖͎ t͈̣̱ͅo̜͖̼̭̙ p̙̤̫̣r̥̳̗͖ḛ̘͔̰p̳̱̬̜a̭̝͎̮r̙͉̯e̞̜̹ a̩̞̩ f̥̮͈r͓̰ḙ͙s͉̯h̠̩ f̻̙e̘ḁs̰t̟.͚"

Claws flexing as if in anticipation, Xrn's saliva hangs down from his impressive jaws in ropey, flowing strands. "I͓̭̖ g͍̜̣r̹̻̯o̟̻̲w͎̩̝ t͙̣͍i̫̥̳r͕̯̟ẹ̪̘d̖̬̬ o̱̲̞f̣͇ͅ p̠̙͇r͇̤̝e̙̟̫s̻͙̻e͈̫̥r͇͙̪v͉̗ͅe̤̻̯d͓͔̣ f͓̟̠o̫̪̹o̝̩̣ḓ̜̙.͈͇̩" A sneering contempt permeates the emphasised word as he turns away, sulking in the shadows of his cave corner.

they would suddenly hear the queen in their heads "my elite brood I have a mission for you meet me at the usually spot" the queen would move to greet her elite brood at their usually spot she had special massive rock that move back and forth placed their that acts like a door and prevents rest of brood to follow are hear to also hopefully prevent them from conspiring against her elite for her attention. She would make to the spot it seemed to be open spot in cave that long again mostly caved in leaving a large enough space for a creature her size to fit with ten others her size. The area had crystals like in the other opening but did not glow as brightly do to not having a array of sunlight to funnel in. The queen sat down and waited for her chosen elite to arrive as task had come to mind to give them as their first mission as she hoped her elite can deal with it.

[QuadraticGish]

On receiving the message, Nagali gets up and brushes any dirt or dust off of the rest of her dress.

"Let's go see mother." she says as she proceeds to head down the usual passage to go see the queen.

Future heeds the Queen's call with a mixture of a trace of relucance, only leaving once it finishes the egg in it's grasp. However, at the very moment this task is finished it is snatched up by Fervour, it's personal bodyguard, and ferried at the highest possible speed to the entrance of the Queen's chambers while a wave of lesser Saimyosho escort them. Here the bulky Saimyosho lands, allowing Future to dismount it, and all the Saimyosho anchor themselves to the ground, unworthy of being in the presence of the Hive's Queen. Future enters alone, it's mind already awash with plans of action for the many possible orders it may soon receive.

"What are your orders, Queen?"

[Japheth]

Zoanthrope follows behind Nagali from above, floating quietly on ebon wings.

[Geeksthenewsexy]

Xrn scrambles to his clawed feet, darting towards the queen's location without hesitation as his claws twitch in excitement, obviously hopeful that the task she has in mind involves violence.

Demiesen accompanies the rest of this elite brood, hissing out a short prayer to his true sovereign before entering into the mortal queen's presence.

Slithering down from its nest's perch, Slathron makes its way to the queen, following behind the others. Lowering its head in submission to the queen, it awaits her command.

*Arminius*

He heard the current Queen and as she command he would get up and follow the others to see the queen. He wondered what the mission was and wat type of danger he will have to protect the princess from and looked to the others as they all went to find out the question of day what will the queen have them do.

[niw18]

*queen*

She would sit their waiting for them and could pick them up with her blindsense and nodded as they all seem to be on their way. She was pleased by this and debated with self what task to give them as their was a lot that's happening that needed to be dealt with but this task was important and very dangerous and needed to be stopped or it could ruin the plan for good. The queen would wait for all them to make it to her before telling them the plan. Once they were all present she would begin to explain the mission. She would look to them very proudly before starting to explain it to them. She would look to princess " The mission for you elite is you most complete will be very difficult but also natural to you all you have to do is destroy and kill everyone in a camp 2 days away from here as it's used to give those pesky humans supplies but also potentially became a strong rally point against our own army" she would say to them as she was resting taking in a breath before continuing. After taking a short pause she would continue for them " our scouting team took to air and a 5 days away a large armed humans seem to be heading towards it I send our army to try to buy you guys time and weaken those mortal fools who oppose us from facing those insane bastards" she would say with such distain she seemed to shake with anger at guile of them to oppose them and want what they want for them selves.

[Geeksthenewsexy]

Xrn's claws twitch in excitement at the queen's words. "It͎̖̺̱ ̖̳̩͚͈̰s̤h͎̪͔̻̹̮͚a̝̹͍̙l̠̱̖̼ͅl̻̠̩̤͓̮͚ ͖b̰̞͇̦e̱͔̟̟̝ ̼̳̤̥͙͖͔d͇̫o̫̼ne͈̦͎̥,͕̮͉ͅͅ m͇͇̟͙͎̻̖y ̳̠̠q̙̩u̼̞͎̻e̜e̘n̮̖̭̖.̬̳"

Having nothing to prepare, he stalks off to the entrance to await his fellow elites.

Slithering along with the rest of the group, Slathron presents itself to the queen and bows its head, "Of course, my queen. We serve your will, as always." Moving on its own accord, the tentacle whip symbiont attached to one forearm wraps around the arm in a writhing coil, seeming to shift position to get comfortable once more.

The team would exit the cave and travel and cover a mile and would only stop when you guys start sensing movement of an apparent group setting up ambush. He can tell by your own fighting experience that those involved where differently experienced in this type of tactic. They seem to be loud enough you can with hear them giving orders and getting people in positions that if you try hard enough to do so . Their seemed to be over twenty people in random spots and it was safe enough to assume they where very heavily armed and ready to die for their clause. their some in at least ten in various trees set up and ready to most likely to snipe as they had the high ground to make their ranged attacks more efficient . The kython adult that was acting as your guide was getting antsy as he can tell that something is up and was looking to the princess almost ready to rip and rove it self to the queen.


Arminius

he would follow group out and looked about as he could tell with his blindsense and sight something is setting something up for them and in kython "heads up I am sure you all sensed that potential enemy group was up to something out their you better e ready to fight I have a bad feeling about this" he would warn his brood brethren and would get ready and get into his stances and be ready to strike as soon as the princess deems it time to do so. He would move to be within range should the princess e put in harms way so he can protect her as the queen has ordered.
