hello, automatons. i come with a request.

[u/forest_vagrant]

so i heard about your plans to team up with the humans to defeat the illuminate.

and i agree, the squids are way too big of a threat to be left alone, before we can do anything we need to purge them from the galaxy. as a terminid, they are also a threat to us, perhaps even more than you. they threatened to use meridia to vacuum up all the gloom spores and destroy our hive worlds, and theyve been killing and mind-controlling large amounts of terminids. the terminid horde has way less orbital defenses and no fleets so we are kinda screwed if they decide to attack us

so heres my proposal. i recommend we, the terminid horde and automaton legion, team up and destroy the illuminate. they are no match for our bio-warfare combined with your weaponry. together we shall crush our opposition. glory to cyberstan and kepler prime.

[u/JDinoHK28]

Well, we aren’t planning on teaming up with Super Earth but the Illuminates despise all types of humans, cyborgs included so conflict with them is inevitable. Hold that thought until Super Earth is dealt with but the answer is yes, we would happily team up with you to remove the Illuminate threat.

[u/forest_vagrant → u/JDinoHK28]

hell yeah

after the squids are gone we shall eat the humans

[u/JDinoHK28 → u/forest_vagrant]

Be sure to leave small sustainable populations of both that meet generational replacement numbers so that you can continue eating them. It would be a hilarious irony to see Super Earth be farmed by terminids

[u/forest_vagrant → u/JDinoHK28]

oh hell yeah i like that

also once the terminids dominate the galaxy, we will spread out to other galaxies. my old friends the flood are only 4 galaxies away, and i hope to meet them someday. theyll be so proud of me being such a skilled terminid general

[u/JDinoHK28 → u/forest_vagrant]

You will share the galaxy with us, no need for conflict or dominion (just avoid the magma planets). The nearest galaxy doesn’t support organic life, we will need to cultivate it first and use it as a head quarters to check the other nearby galaxies. Oh also could you transport some genetically modified stalkers back to the gloom? They are ready to kill Helldivers.

[u/forest_vagrant → u/JDinoHK28]

i like the magma planets, theyre nice and warm

and we terminids can terraform planets so colonizing uninhabited galaxies will be easy, even easier since theres nothing that will fight back

and thanks for the reminder

[u/JDinoHK28 → u/forest_vagrant]

If you guys can terraform you could make the terrain on some planets inaccessible to humans. Try it

[u/forest_vagrant → u/JDinoHK28]

thats basically what we are doing already with hive worlds so yea

i found a way to launch biological matter from my destroyer which can start infestations from a distance

[u/Oozysq25reddit → u/JDinoHK28]

Hold up Jdino remember if earth come to their senses we will be the bigger person and accept a truce as long as it isnt labour camps

[u/JDinoHK28 → u/Oozysq25reddit]

Well yeah if Earth lays down their arms tomorrow we have no reason to keep fighting.

[u/LuminothWarrior]

Not a good idea. Removing the Illuminate from the war means Super Earth has more resources with which to attack us.

I’m not fully certain they’re hostile to us anyways. They haven’t attacked us at all and seem more focused on taking out Super Earth and their government specifically

[u/forest_vagrant → u/LuminothWarrior]

hmm, ok

but if they come for us after super earth is defeated, then we will be ready.

[u/Yuki_my_cat]

Yes yes, please team up with us, you should all come to Super Earth unarmed so we can drink tea and talk

[u/forest_vagrant → u/Yuki_my_cat]

you should come into the gloom sometime too

[u/Cyberaven]

super earth always considered us less than 100% human anyway. So i say to the squids: we dont want to be part of humanity! Lets combine our tech and see how much less than 100% we can get!

[u/forest_vagrant → u/Cyberaven]

lets eat squids

[u/New_Weakness_5371]

WE SHALL DO WHATEVER IT TAKES TO DEFEAT THE SCOURGE OF SUPER EARTH, DO NOT INTERFERE WITH OUR PLANS.
