Hive Report 2172

Shimoda strode down the long featureless tunnel, humming to himself as his left eye navigated a holo-projector while his right the corridor. He was not known for his sanity, too many hours locked up alone dissecting codes, bodies or equations had warped his reality into one big anagram that, in his own mind, his intellect alone could solve. It was as he approached the corner heading towards the main shaft he reeled back, his chest heaving to catch the air that had just forced from it. Flicking his eye-piece up he caught sight of the extended arm still rigid, fist clenched, he recognised the coloured band around the wrist ... Zheng Jian.

Zheng-Jian - "My heartfelt apologies Shimoda, i thought you had realised my presence" Showing only the slightest hint of a grin whilst he turned his hand, unclenching, to reveal a data crystal lying in his palm, the points causing three small cuts that now trickled with blood.

Shimoa, still short of breath - "The day .. when all factions are united .. under the Chairman and your job becomes obsolete I will relish hearing of your 'retirement' " as he snatched the crystal from Zheng-Jians hand, trying to remove the blood that was defiling one of his beloved stones.

Zheng Jian - "I guess i'll have to make sure you aren't around if such an incident occurs then" he hissed, almost spitting.

Shimoda - "Threaten all you will, if you'd excuse me now i have work to do deciphering this information. Oh and give my regards to the families of the men who lost their lives stealing three energy credits from the Spartan energy banks, i'm sure it will go along way in the war effort."

Zheng Jians hands jolted up startling Shimoda into taking a step back before he slammed them into his own chest in an old Hiverian military salute before stepping back into the shadows and skulking off like the ghost he had always imagined himself as, despite acheiving his position more through his organizational skills, deep sense of paranoia and failure of defeat then actual field stealth work.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The Chairman and Ota Kyi, the Hives leading empath, sat facing one another in stolen Virtual World seats, definately prototypes, that Hive scientists and engineers had so far been unable to duplicate for the masses or enhance to the finished article.

Chairman Lazerus - "Lets begin"

With that both lowered the cumbersome helmets down, as attendants placed sensor pads on their fingers, arms and legs before lastly administoring a small sedative and inserting a thin probe directly into each of their spines. The world faded, breaking apart and shattering into nothing, then reforming as their minds dictated.

Ota Kyi - "Over there Chairman, that borehole"

Chairman Lazerus floated over, looking down the borehole, its massive shaft with searing heat pouring out seemed different, more a wound then a mine. He could see the nearby soldiers desperately holding their thoughts together as they used their flame guns on approaching mind worms. He himself could feel their psi assault tugging at the back of his mind.

Chairman Lazerus - "So what do you make of this ?"

Ota Kyi - "Well Chairman to be honest we're not sure. Fungus and mindworm activity definately increases in areas where we have high industrial activity, this isn't the first time we've had so called "pops". It feels like something is directing the attacks, a massive neural net, on a planetary scale ... we doubt that the planet is an organism in itself and yet ... it somehow stirs and like a sentient mind awaking from a slumber."

Chairman Lazerus - "Can we awaken it to make contact?"

Ota Kyi - "Not yet Chairman, even if we could i'd advise against it. To something of its scale we'd be no more then insects, parasites even, gnawing away at its flesh."

The movement of the world underneath them suddenly stopped and they both looked at one another, and then to the sea of fungus that was racing towards them. Before they could will themselves to awaken from this reality the screech of the mindworms attack rung through their ears and the fungus washed over them and then everything went black.

Assisstant - "Chairman, Chairman Lazerus are you awake?"

Chairman Lazerus - "What happened ?"

Assisstant - "We're not sure sir, we encountered some problems trying to boot you both into the program and had to stop before you entered cardiac arrest"

Chairman Lazerus looked across to Ota Kyi who still lay there unconcious.

University report 2174

The crowd erupted into cheers as the provost with his trademark unkempt white hair and colored eyeglasses, quiteing as he raised his hands. "For seventy years you have pushed the boundraies of human knowledge as we made a home for ourselves on this planet submitting unquestioning to my leadership. Together we have harnessed the power of biogenetics, praticle impactors, and found ways to once again prowl the seas, and soon we will return to the skies!" The provost smiled here before continuing as a chant of Long live the provost erupted from the crowd. "Today I stand before you to announce a major change in our government. No longer will you have only a limited say in what goes on in our faction. Today I announce the founding of the University of Planet Republic! Once again we will return to the democracy of our fathers, but no longer will it be a democracy founded soley on the opinons of the governed, but guided by the ethical calculus recently devloped by our philosophers. The stars, the planets, and even electrons can be explained through the power of mathmatics why not then human behavior? I say it can and the University of planet republic will stand as a testament to the power of understanding how."

2175 sent to arcan sorry for the delay my girlfriend broke up with me yesterday (by moving away without telling me or leaving any contact information-so I wasn't in much of a mode to play)

2175 to Dacole,

Hive Report 2175:

Hive War Chamber
Chairman Lazerus - "Kai-Lu your spearhead base is prepared correct ?"
Knowing full well the answer he continued without a single pause in breath
"I want a two pronged attack, firstly to remove the 5 battalions of Spartan troops around the alien monolith that have just destroyed our plasma defenders, and secondly to take Centurion Cave no matter the cost. Santiago needs a message of just what she has unleashed now."

The fact that the Spartans had shown the first aggressive move in counter-attacking a slow Hive siege of Centurion Cave had both angered the Chairman who viewed the incident as a defeat yet pleased him for presenting a plethora of new tactical options with which to use.

Kai-Lu - "Chairman, i believe a three pronged attack with our rovers cutting off the spartan retreat to the north while at the same time Zheng Jians operatives initiating further development of our shadow army coinciding with your direct frontal assault would utterly devastate all spartan troops in this region"

Chairman Lazerus - "Zheng Jian are your men upto this?"

Zheng Jian - "Your will carries my men to whatever needs to be acheieved Chairman"

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

At the Alien Monolith
The elite spartan troops formed ranks, their gatling laser mounts hovering at perfect intervals. Sporadic fire from the incoming fresh Hive rovers triggered the retaliation as every other shot hit a unit sending it spinning out of control and flipping insanely across the plains or engulfing it in a fireball. Still the Hive soldiers pressed on with a single mindedness, a single life lost meant nothing, the collective group would succeed. Rovers came from all directions, like fire ants swarming from some unseen nest to protect their territory from enemy marauders.
The Spartan soldiers outnumbered and with no means of retreat were surrounded on the open plains, their plasma armour which had long protected them began to buckle at the seems, exposed flesh melted and screams of pain began to echo. Energy continued to arc through the air sending the Spartan soldiers sprawling, breaking their tight formations allowing the rovers to tear in between ripping apart the defenders from all angles. None were left alive as the battle became a slaughter, collateral damage dooming each spartan as his neighbour fell.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Centurion Cave
Kai-Lu - "Report commander"

Commander Jinzo - "Sir there is heavy defense ahead, half a dozen plasma battalions, however we do now have roughly a 2:1 number superiority thanks to some of the garrison moving out towards our decoy outpost. What strikes me as odd sir is that the fools haven't made any attempt of constructing a perimeter defense."

Kai-Lu - "Arrogance i guess, they won't hide behind walls when this is the Spartan army thats supposed to be kicking our butts. Enough talk though, signal the attack"

Commander Jinzo - "yes sir!"

Two weeks later at the Hive

Jong hui - "Chairman! We have an incomming transmission from a Spartan source, priority urgent"

Chairman Lazerus - "So my dear Santiago is willing to talk now, give me audio and visual"

As the two leaders spoke the Spartan garrison which had been slowly crumbling under the sustained assult of Hiverian rovers eventually broke. Those that surrendered were shot where they stood, while those that did not were subdued until the probe teams arrived. The frightening efficiency at which the once proud spartan soldiers were pinned down and covered in staples, the grey metal plates peppering the flesh, opening every nerve as they spewed out their fibre glass tentacles stunned Spartan commanders who viewed the downfall of their prized military strongpost in real time, helpless to alter outcome.

Colonel Santiago - "Chairman Lazerus, as you know my people exercise their right to bear arms and as such we are the military super power on Chiron. If you wish to end this war before you are destroyed you will transmit to us all of your research data!"

Chairman Lazerus - "Santiago you are in no position to make threats, as we speak you'll be receiving reports of my forces running rampant in your territory. I suggest you change you demands to offers of tribute"

Colonel Santiago - " ..... I must confess Chairman my council does view this war as a needless confrontation and engaging in this course of action only allows the other factions on planet to grow stronger. I despise your brutal nihilism but for the sake of my own people i am willing to sign a blood truce to cease hostile activities between us"

Chairman Lazerus - "It's surrender or die Santiago, you're worthless to me otherwise."

Colonel Santiago - "you WILL pay for what you have done to my people!!"
She hissed, her face contorted with a released rage before cutting the link.

Chairman Lazerus - "you never could lie Santiago"

Jong Hui - "Chairman?"

Chairman Lazerus - "She's afraid, afraid of being alone again with only endless nights of torture to live for and without help that is her fate."

With that Centurion Cave become the first base casualty of the collosal war between the military juggernaughts of the Spartan Federation and the Human Hive.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Shimodas Lab
Shimoda - "Chairman as you know my lab studying the manifold nexus has attracted librarians and talents from all over the Hiverian empire so that our facilities have become a rival to that of even the Hive itself. Well now that my plan is beginning to enter fruition i have some interesting data here to show you...."

Morganites have betrayed me! They launched a surprise attack, which should reflect on their integrity. I lost a unit but so did they....unfortunately it is more to the Morganite's benefit because he's got more units to come sweeping through and now I'm shuffling units to defend my bases.

Actually, to my surprise I am actually doing that...it was a quiet turn except for my converting a little worm. He will be useful for reaching my last crash pod that I can see until I get my feet wet. It's really frustrating that the only faction I've met is at war with me, though. And yeah, better to have to fight Morgan alone than Santiago alone I guess.

Hive Report 2177:

The Great Dunes of Chiron
General Kai-Lu stood surveying the horizon or what seemed to be it, the endless stretch of the great dunes rippled in the heat playing tricks on the human eye.
Kai-Lu was a mammoth of a man, taller and broader then even the prototype genetically modified drones, with a brain and loyalty just as large to match. His methods of warfare; "The collective victory" and "Strength, speed and sacrifice" were well known among the Hive military chain of command, kept in every fledging commanders bedside drawer.

Comm - "General Sir, Chairman Lazerus requesting update"

Kai-Lu stepped back into the command tent, brushing off the thick of the sand that had settled in his hair and among the folds in his clothing before taking several gulps of water from an attendant stood to attention next to the table placed in the center of the room.

Kai-Lu - "Cheers Markus" he said as his face relaxed and a small grin emerged as he patted the young soldier on the shoulder and walked round to the rear of the table. Such courtesies weren't common place in the Hive military, especially with grunts on the front line. However they had always helped boost morale around the General and earn him the total respect of the men, most of whom knew following Kai-Lu into battle meant a charge into deaths cold embrace.
"Okay patch me through Comm"

Chairman Lazerus - "Greetings Kai-Lu, I see you couldn't resist getting back to the front line and serving the Hive as only you can"

General Kai-Lu - "The troops loyalty to yourself and the Hive has been unquestionable Chairman, they've taken Hommel's Citadel, research data in the labs and continued to decimate any Spartan forces found in the open. I felt the time was right for a superior officer to come out here and take charge as we continue to push ever further into enemy territory"

Chairman Lazerus - "I concur.. congratulate your men on the capture of the base and the data. Quite fitting that the Spartan tribute to the desert rat himself is captured alongside those inhospitable dunes"

General Kai-Lu - "Will do Chairman, has there been any change in the diplomatic situation or are we to proceed with the current attack ?"

Chairman Lazerus - "Santiago is still rambling about nothing, bring me her alive if possible Kai-Lu, that is all"

General Kai-Lu - "For the Hive"

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Zheng Jian - "What the hell is going on?"

H149 - "We've got an enemy incursion in one of the security links, 5 agents down, 2 wounded and reporting a University attack, they've beached near the western front and are attempting to hack into the lab data"

Zheng Jian - "Get me Tang Yue and then the Chairman QUICK. Move nearby agents to re-establish control and alert the police within the base to shoot dead ANYBODY suspicious around that area"
The frustration grew in Zheng Jians voice, his prized networks which he had become so psychologically attached to were under threat.

Tang Yue - "I know Zheng, we've spotted him and are on course to intercept"

Zheng Jian - "Your damn patrols are leaking again old man"

Tang Yue - "Don't start with me boy, calm down before you make another enemy on the council, they're not going to get far"

The fleeing agents could be seen climbing back into their foil before turning off the engines and awaiting contact, realising they were surrounded by a scrambled gunskip and cleanse team gathering on the beach.

Comm - "Incoming transmission from the University probe ship Sir"

University probe team - "Hive reaction force, we call upon UN Charter rule 184 paragraph 3. You must return us to the nearest University base"

Zheng Jian - "Silence! or i'll have you dragged screaming to the nearest nerve staple center" Zheng Jian ran his finger across his throat to the comm "Put me through to the Chairman now"
"Chairman Lazerus, we've got a problem with the University ... mainly being that they're here and trying to hack into our networks. Only one logical course of action, seeking your approval sir"

Chairman Lazerus - "Agreed, Kill them."

Zak paced in the situation room as he waited for word then finally it came. "The unit has arrived at the hive's shores provost, they are heading for the security links" Zak's paceing speed increased, they made it through the hive's sea patrols now the hard part starts he thought. "Uploading the infiltration virus--encontering heavy resistance four units down and two heavily wounded returning to the ship" Zak cursed under his breath and clenched his fists though the city seemed to have just been founded it already had probe defense. "Put the feed on main speaker" said the Provost "Returned to the ship heading for University territory-hive ship encountered mak.." Then unmistakenly the sound of lazers could be heard coming over the speaker and then static. "Turn off the speaker" quickly the speaker was shut off and silence filled the room. As the silence stretched on an aid quitly wishpered "The chairman is on the line for you provost"

Runnin his hands through his hair, and blinking "Clear the room" The provost replied and then when the room was cleared he answered the call. "Chairman it is truly a pleasure to see yo.." "Enough of your flattery provost your truly pitiful attempt to inflitrate our datalinks has been thrawted, I assume you know this means war between us"

"Now chairman don't be hasty, I thought the tragedy of earth would have taught you the value of a proportional response." "I assure you this was not a prelude to an invasion. My offer of a peace treaty was ignored so I thought it best to see what you were up to. My desire is only to coexist peacefully with you though the Spartans have made tempting offers, and the stories I hear from refugees fleeing your borders keep me up at nights. However I again offer a peace treaty as well as the Peacekeepers and the Morganites comm frequency as a gesture of good will, I assume you will respond in kind." Pausing Zaks face turned dark and his voice lowered. "However if you do not you will find my scientists and citizens quite capable of turning their minds to war. Undoubtedly the Spartans and segments of your population would welcome such a development"

------------
Deep within the underground leadership glen....
Arcainite stroked the fronds of the friendship fern tenderly under the steady hand which had lead his faction lo these 177 "turns" of Planet. "So, they tried to poison the friendship fern with toxic spores....these Morgans are the worst kind of scum. Too bad for them, we are wise to virtually any and all xeno and conventional botanical sabotage!" The leader shook his fist. "Reports?"
Fir: "Worm converted and heading towards the last visible crash pod on land. We'll know what is in there by the next turn of the Planet. Terraforming is continuing near the bases. The Worm Crossing signs have been a success. Energy funds have been pouring into our trust fund, the World Worm Friends (WWF), through our citizens' donations."
Oak: "Our trance synthemetal unit, designation Acorn 1, fell to the gutless surprise attack. Acorn 1 was able to take out one of their units before he succumbed to the ambush of the superior numbers. Our best fighters are moving into position for defense and to bolster Operation Bunny Rabbit. Never fear, sir, the acorn doesn't fall too far from the tree!"
Willow: "No attempt at communication was made to try to find a peaceful solution before the Morganites made their move. I tried to warn you about -"
Arcainite: "Willow. I wanted to see the good in humanity! I hoped that after what happened on Earth and then on the Starship Unity that we, its survivors could all get along harmoniously. Just because the Morganites are evil now doesn't mean the factions he won't give us the comm frequencies for are! One bad apple doesn't mean the whole tree is rotten. We will prune out Nwabudike Morgan and allow other life to take his place. Continue. Spruce?"
Spruce: "Morale among the citizenry remains high despite the fear. They are removed far enough away from the action that I don't think it's struck home to them that the Morganites would probably sell their own mothers to take over our businesses by any means available to them. Operation Bunny Rabbit has been slowed, but a new outpost has just been created at our forward march and another one will center our fungus operations."
Arcainite: "Excellent. Everyone prepare for...not just the war...but the fruit it will bear us." His hand fell from the fern and it began to grow as the council clapped.

Turn 2178 sent to Dacole (and 77, yeah i realised attached wrong turn)
Leaving things in pockets heh sending it to me at 6am definately wont get played straight away


Hive Report 2178:

Somewhere in the Hive
Several hours now the Chairman had sat in his private sanctuary deep in meditation. This room was one of his more decorated, a large throne like chair crafted from hybrid oak but painted a deep black sat underneath two large intercoiled golden dragons. The Chairman however preferred to sit on the floor, comfort made the spirit weak.
In the war chamber several of the council members have been pounding the floor nervously now waiting for the Chairman, nobody was ever told which room he would be in, he merely picked one at random. Such action avoided interuption of his meditation and made assassination attempts on his life while he slept an impossibility.

Several more hours had now passed and Chairman Lazerus' mind began to stir, the events of the past few weeks entering his mind. The Spartan war gaining pace and soon to end once the Hive unveiled its new weaponary. The University attacks on Hiverian security links and subsequent peace offer.
The latter thought became an image, the Hive; a giant blue sphere crushing the black arrows dug into the ground like spears, the University, two small white curled swords crossed together cutting small pieces out of the Hiverian back.

Chairman Lazerus concentrated on the Hive, the sphere halted or seemed to, the front half pressed on, whilst the back began to pull away towards the swords threatening to crush them. The swords tried to penetrate into the sphere only to be blunted and thrown back. Lazerus continued to watch, a spectator in the proceedings of his own mind. The swords moved back and lay to the floor, several more shapes appeared, the yellow triangle and the shining star.
The past and present he thought.
The star began to glow brighter,shards of light slicing off chunks of the Hive sphere. The pieces however did not melt away into the darkness, they slowly moved away and around the star growing as they did, three fold, ten fold and then a hundred fold. The number and size of each sphere grew until the light of the star could no longer be seen. This would be the future plan.

Chairman Lazerus - "Jong-hui are you in the chamber?"

Jong-Hui - "Yes Chairman, all available members are here and have been waiting for some time"

Chairman Lazerus - "Then they can wait abit longer until I arrive"

Hive War Chamber

Chairman Lazerus - "Be seated Comrades ... Provost Dacole has made us an interesting offer, he has approached us offering comm frequencies to both Morgan and Lal aswell as a treaty. Our exclusion of negotiations with the University and the threat of war has caused them to begin reconcilliations. I admire the Universities willingness to tamper with the human genome in order to improve the species however the fact that they were foolish enough to instate a democracy means they can never be fully trusted. The common man is easily tricked and propganda could allow any anarchistic insidious drone to lead the University and such an action would damage my position as leader of the Hive. However the treaty has its advantages in that we know from coded SOS signals the Gaians are being attacked by the Morganites, this means only that insane fanatic Miriam needs to be found and I can impose my authority on all of planet via the council they all cherish so much. It is therefore my will that the Hive accepts the treaty and urges Provost Dacole to impose tighter controls on his people, failure to do so will result in consequences in time."

Hive Report 2180:

Great Dunes of Chiron
Kai-Lu scrambled out of his rover hobbling along as he dragged an unconciouss comrade with him into the rocky terrain, his left leg soaked in blood from a six inch piece of synth metal still petruding from his thigh.
The well trained enemy and the terrain was making each advance a painful experience, even his own squad of rovers had taken a battering.
Kai-Lu felt his leg grunting as he did,
"in too deep, need a medic"
he thought as he tore off a shirt sleave and bandaged around the wound minimising the blood loss.
The suns scorching heat began to bear its mark as he felt the sweat forming on his brow, the rover still sat there, Kai-Lu was surprised it hadn't exploded by now but he'd have to take the risk of retrieving water and a comm from it. Every step he took he felt as though his weight was increasing, "Keep going you fool just abit longer" as he neared the rover he could feel the cool air flooding out from it and the last few steps became so much easier.
"Comm ... water ... pistol rounds ... medkit"
he muttered as he smelt the fuel leak.
Limping away from the rover the back of his mind hesitant to leave the cool air which had become a sirens song in his head, trying to draw him to his death. The soldier still lay there unconciouss infront of him baking even in the shade.
"Come on soldier wake up"
Kai-Lu sighed as he nudged him with his boot before slowly kneeling down trying to keep his left leg straight as he did. Still no response, pulse weakening and the skin on his face becoming taut and scaly.

Kai-Lu - "Hive assault force, somebody in the area xx,yy swing by and pick me up, bring a medic with you"

Soldier - "Copy that General, are you ok?"

Kai-Lu - "Yes, just a shrapnel wound, keep your concentration. Whats the situation out there?"

Soldier - "We're suffering losses but inflicting twice as many General, enemy numbers still high though, impossible to tell the difference between the desert and the blood flowing everywhere"

Kai-Lu used a nearby rock to hoist himself back onto his feet dragging the soldier further into the shade before letting him settle in a small cave barely 5 feet deep into the rockface. Two water canistors all full, easily enough to last untill help arrived. The water sparkled like pearls as it shone in the sun moistening the soldiers lips as Kai-Lu carefully trickled it down before place a damp cloth over both their heads. He knew however unless the soldier woke up very soon and took a drink there was little point wasting water on a dead man.

Kai-Lu - "Hive command, authorisation code Fire73Alpha92 come in Hive command"

*Static hissed back.*

Kai-Lu - "I repeat Hive command, authorisation code Fire73Alpha92 come in Hive command"

Unknown Voice - "Comrade Kai-Lu, coming upto your position now"

Kai-Lu - "Akawi ?! Why wasn't i made aware of any rover or infantry reinforcements heading this way?"

Akawi - "Rovers? heh no chief, watch and learn, your ex-apprentice has some new toys. Delita squadron form up on my left, Capra on my right, Mazuko squadron fire up your booster packs and scout ahead try herd them together."

Heads arced upwards as the black streaks shot across the sky unleashing their payloads, columns of fire erupting throughout the Spartan positions. The scenes reminiscent of the Earth wars, bodies being helplessly thrown about by death reigning from above. Explosion after explosion rocked the Spartan positions for hours on end as the Hive ground force pressed on with the now far superior firepower covering them.

Akawi - "Running low on fuel, damn theres still atleast 10 battalions down there. Kai-Lu, i'll be back soon with several dozen more squads once they've relocated to the front line to clear your path, hang in down there"

Hive Holo-newstation Pravda broadcast

Citizens of the Hive beware the University ! For the Hive is now at war !! Provost Dacole has refused to accept the glorious Chairmans treaty offer and has constantly referred to aiding the wicked traitor that is Santiago.
Rejoice! for the Hiverian air force has again sunk University ships entering our waters.
Vigilance! remember to keep your eyes open citizens for the University may be weak but they are a cunning foe, if you see anything suspicious report it immediately to your nearest police unit.
Victory! The Hive will succeed against all foes for the guidance of the Chairman will ensure safety for us all.
Glory to the Chairman !
Glory to the Hive !!
