Warhammer III

Chapter 4: Tyranid Node Creatures and Returning Home

"Your Majesty the Emperor, it would be a good thing to have more biological sages joining us, but these Mechanicus sages are scattered throughout the galaxy. Do you have special contact information?"

Tai Yue supports Della's idea. The first problem is how to contact the other party. After all, those biological sages have entered the trial court's monitoring list and will not take the initiative to disclose their information.

"I haven't contacted them since I left the Varnak Circle Sect. I don't know if the relevant identification data can still be used."

Della shook her head. She had not contacted her colleagues in the Varnak Circle Sect for more than ten years. It seemed that it was not that easy to find these colleagues who were acting secretly.

"The Alien Tribunal probably has information about them. Judge Kriptman has set out from Holy Terra and is expected to arrive within a month. We can ask him to use the Alien Tribunal's intelligence network to snare these biological sages. here."

As one of the three major tribunals in the Empire, the Alien Tribunal is dedicated to combating the threat of alien species. The entire organization not only investigates and compiles information on alien species, but also organizes Imperial forces to destroy those alien creatures that are classified as posing a threat to the Empire. .

Inquisitor Kriptman himself is a radical alien judge. He may have long been connected with the Varnak Circle Cult. Facing the increasingly severe threat of the Tyranids, Inquisitor Kriptman will definitely Fully support this research base.

After thinking for a moment, Tai Yue said that he also decided to return to his hometown of Marsdan during this period and bring Planet Governor Mansha here to solve the problem of gene stealer infection in her body.

As one of the survivors of Varnak's Circle Cult experiment, Mansha was infected with the alien cells of the gene stealers, but was not controlled by the chicken thieves' psychic network. However, she would release micro-tyranids whenever she bled. , it is still very dangerous if not treated.

The reason why Taiyue chose to solve this problem now is because Mansha itself is the research result of resisting the infiltration of gene stealers. On the other hand, Taiyue is no longer afraid of exposing Mansha's existence. As Lord Nahmund and Grand Master of the Gray Knights, who has the power to keep her safe.

Della nodded and approved the method proposed by Taiyue. She had no other better way to invite the biological sages of the Varnak Circle Sect. Using the power of the Alien Tribunal was a good choice.

"Grand Tutor, please follow me to visit the laboratory here. The establishment of this research base is inseparable from your support."

Della then led Taiyue to visit the important laboratories of the research base and introduced relevant research directions.

The laboratory is filled with dark, airtight cryogenic freezers, and Tyranids of various shapes are suspended in the culture fluid with various instruments connected to their bodies.

The technical priest implanted various detection and safety devices on the imprisoned Terra creature on the experimental table to ensure the safety of living samples. The surgical servitor mechanically dissected the brain of the Terra creature and recorded it. .

"These Tyranid creatures are living samples captured by the Alien Ordination during the Third Tyranid War. However, these Tyranid creatures are not node creatures. To obtain more core research data, you need to capture Hive Tyrants, Cerebrates, etc. Only node organisms can make breakthrough research progress.”

Della frowned and said, it is hard to say whether the research materials here can attract colleagues from the Varnak Circle Sect. Maybe the other party has more living materials in their hands.

The only valuable thing in this research base is the meninges of pure-blood gene stealers, which can be used to study the psychic network of the gene stealer sect, try to develop drugs that destroy meninges, or use fake meninges to interfere with the telepathy between chicken thieves. .

The hive consciousness itself is a spiritual reality. Low-level Tyranid creatures have weak psychic powers and cannot directly connect to the hive consciousness. They need intermediate Tyranid creatures.

Node creatures are the transfer station for transmitting the hive consciousness. They are huge in size, powerful in combat, and have high IQs. The node creatures pass the hive consciousness to low-level Tyranids, thereby suppressing the gene-based beast instincts of the Tyranids and turning them into Tyranids act as a unit.

When a node creature is killed, the Tyranid creatures affected by it will return to their instincts and fall into chaos. However, there are many node creatures. Killing any one or more node creatures on the battlefield cannot reverse the situation of the battle unless killed. All node creatures.

"First the Tyranids, then the Hive Mind, or vice versa?"

Tai Yue asked curiously.

"The biological sages are controversial as to whether there was the hive consciousness first, then the Tyranids, or whether the Tyranids came first, and the psychic network that communicated with each other constituted the hive consciousness. The essence of this issue is that the Tyranids Are living things created or evolved naturally?”

Sage Della could not give an answer either. To find the answer, one must either directly connect to the hive consciousness or find the origin of the Tyranids.

"I seem to have been exposed to the hive consciousness, but I'm not sure if it's a psychic hallucination."

Tai Yue suddenly said that he was attacked by the psychic energy of the Chaos Wizard Omahotek on the Wizard Star, and released the power of the psychic blank with all his strength. Before he fell into coma, he saw the blazing star on the other side of the psychic shadow like a black hole, and The giant shadow of Lake Mo is entrenched in the stars.

"God of all opportunities, is this true?!"

Della froze on the spot, looking at Taiyue in disbelief, but she knew that the great mentor was not a person who talked nonsense.

Tai Yue nodded, and then told Della about his spiritual power, which was similar to the psychic blank ability of the subspace shadow.

This is also the reason why he has almost no use of psionic powers after being an Alpha psyker and becoming an Alpha+ psyker through the wraith bone generation organ.

And when Taiyue analyzed that using his full power of psychic energy would attract the insect nest tentacles, he became more cautious about the use of psychic energy to prevent disasters from causing disaster to the planet where he was located.

"If I have the chance, I will hunt node creatures for you."

Taiyue promised Della before returning to Blackstone Fortress, and the opportunity he said would come soon.

One day later, the Uruk strike cruiser left the port on the Blackstone Fortress, sailed into the subspace, and directly entered the route to the industrial world of Marsdan.

"Father, Mansha, I'm finally back!"

Sitting on the bridge, Tai Yue thought silently in his heart that the ascetic life and years of fighting in the Gray Knights had made him feel calm, but when he thought of returning to his long-lost hometown, he couldn't help but feel excited.

"The God-Emperor bless Felice and Brother Tai."

Phyllis, the medical nun next to him, kept praying, her slightly trembling hands unable to conceal the anticipation in her heart.
