“This is heresy!”

A thunderous voice boomed.

“This experiment has been sanctioned by the Lord Commander, The Primarch of The Ultramarines and the son of the God-Emperor.” The old man said, gazing sharply behind his thick circular glasses. “I am The Watch Master. You do well to remember that Lieutenant.”

“Lord Commander or not... I won’t stand for this!”

The skull helmeted astartes watched behind the old man.

“Then you dare defy the Lord Commander?” The old man said.

The said Lieutenant’s clenched fist shook, without a word, he turned around and left. The heraldic black cross on the white bone pauldron shone underneath the white lights. Lord Inquisitor Kryptman removed his glasses and rubbed his eyes, he watched his latest experiment behind a reinforced ceramite-glass window.

“Lieutenant Casus Belli will not be the only one who is against this.” The skull helmeted astartes, Chaplain Gabriel, said grimly.

“I’m aware,” Kryptman said. “But this might be a potent weapon.”

Across the window was a small girl, dressed in a simple red robe. Her skin was white like snow, hair black as the night. The girl’s hooked talon nails sunk into the tattered gray doll shaped as an astartes.

“Ninety-Nine.”

The girl’s head looked up at the voice-caster. The robes slid back, exposing the thick spiky exoskeleton armor on her body. Ninety-Nine’s tail flicked up, the hammer end of her tail thumped on the floor. Ninety-Nine smiled.

“Hive-Father?” The child-like voice croaked and let out happy clicks.

Chaplain Gabriel turned his gaze to Kryptman.

“Hive-Father.” Chaplain Gabrield said.

“A parental relationship makes loyalty deeper.” Kryptman said, he pressed the button for the vox-caster. “How are you, Ninety-Nine.”

“Good.”

“Good.” Kryptman said. “Today you will explore your home and meet your battle-masters. You will finally serve the Emperor.”

“For The Emperor!”

Ninety-Nine beamed, her wagging tail smashed the stacked steel blocks and the small chair. There were no cheers per say, but vibrating purrs and clicking noises. Chaplain Gabriel held his gaze at Kryptman which he could not meet.

“And who would that be?” Chaplain Gabriel said.

“I was hoping you would know the best. That’s why I brought you here.”

Chaplain Gabriel paused.

Nu 40k is cringe, but this premise is interesting enough to hook my attention.

>Mawmaw
Hell yeah, this is going to be good.

>Intelligence: 3/10
We could bump up her intelligence as soon as we get the opportunity. That way, she'll be much more effective working with front line tactics, rather than being set loose and hoping for the best. She'll be much more effective as a bulwark or linebreaker if she's smart enough to understand what's happening. Hell, maybe she'll be good with a heavy flamer or assault cannon to compliment her tail. It may also help her wrestle hive mind control from the Tyranids.

>Tyranid GIRL
I wonder what Guilliman's reasoning is for this, and why Kryptman of all people signed up for this.

>>6100008
>“I will meet her myself. Test her purity.”
It's the most likely response from the Chaplain. A Black Templar, infamous for hatred of xenos even among Astartes, would leap at the chance to prove their own suspicions.

“Brother Rylor of the Executioners perhaps.”

Kryptman raised a single suspicious eyebrow. “Rylor? That bellicose glory seeker?”

“Behind the mask of a brute is a disciplined and honorable fighter, as all sons of Dorn are.” Chaplain Gabriel said. “If Rylor can tolerate her, his cousins will as well.”

“Win over the most difficult hurdles first.” Kryptman said.

The Chaplain nodded. “They will abide by the Lord Commander’s order, but they will question the decision. They will question you.”

“Very well. I will leave this in your hands.”

The ebon twin axes rested behind the red shield. Rylor sat inside the Chaplain Gabriel’s personal monastery, he sat waiting like a statue. He stroked his clean shaven chin, wondering why he has been called to The Chaplain’s personal room. His loyalty was unflinching, and his hate never satiated… so why was he here?

“Sergeant Rylor.”

The raspy voice rang. Rylor stood to his feet, he eyed the elusive Watch Master and a small human draped in a red cloak.

“I assume you are aware of a new weapon in development?”

Rylor eyed the Lord Inquisitor. “I have Chaplain.”

“The weapon is to combat the tyranids by developing a bio-weapon that can hijack the psychic control of the tyranid hive mind on a small scale for now. Sergeant, I will reveal this weapon. You will not react in any hostile manner, do you understand?”

Rylor placed his fist on his chest. “On my honor I will not.”

The Chaplain removed the hood. A small child… xenos thing appeared.

“This is the weapon?” Rylor said.

“It is sanctioned by Ordo Xenos, the Adeptus Mechanicus, and the High Lords of Terra, and The Lord Commander.” Chaplain Gabrield said.

Rylor stood still. “I see. What am I to do then?”

>Lord Inquisitor Kryptman nudged Ninety-Nine forward. “Greet your battle-master, Ninety-Nine.”

The stoic pride of the IF at work, I see.

Rylor doesn't seem like the kind of guy to take a closer look without the Chaplain's approval, and Kryptman is likely off doing his own thing meanwhile.

Of course. There's no rule against running multiple quests, anyway. Just don't stress yourself over what's supposed to be fun and don't be surprised when Pangea and Ninety-Nine are competing for a slot in next year's Queen of /qst/..

The Chaplain gently nudged Ninety-Nine forward. “Present yourself, adept.”

Ninety-Nine formed the sign of the aquila.

“I greet the angels of The Emperor and my battle-master.”

Battle-master? Rylor did not show his confusion, he merely nodded back curtly. Rylor stared at the creature then to the Lord Inquisitor. There was a reason why many astartes chapters did not trust the Inquisition, and this creature’s integration proved his distrust to be correct.

“What would you have me do with this…”

“Ninety-Nine.” Kryptman said.

“Yes, Ninety-Nine. What would you have me do with it?” Rylor said. “Train it for coming battles?”

Rylor eyed the thing hiding behind Kryptman’s leg. Abomination, mutant, and a xenos in all one disgusting package.

“Correct. I want your squad to integrate with her, she will be a great tool for the Deathwatch.”

“Why my squad?”

“Your squad is the most respected in the company. If her integration with your squad is successful the rest will accept easily.”

Rylor stared at the abomination, but an abomination that can hijack the tyranids in the vicinity.

“You are tasking me to take her on missions as well then.”

The Chaplain nodded.

>Rylor shook his head. “I can’t. With all due respect, you are asking me to risk my battle-brothers for a test of an unproven weapon.”
>Rylor nodded. “Very well. I will take Ninety-Nine in.”
>>
We'll have several years to train Ninety-Nine and bump up her stats before she hits the field, right? If so, I dread to think of what happens during the puberty of a Hive Tyrant-Hive Guard-Human hybrid.
>breaking out into literal hives
>destructive mood swings
>strict orders to keep her from males her age until she grows out of said mood swings
>obsessing about how big her exoskeleton armor makes her look
>weekly shouting matches with resident Novamarines

Rylor's going to need to find an outlet for her outside of combat.

>>6100394
>Your squad is the most respected in the company.
There's a hilarious irony in placing her in that squad specifically.

>Write-in

We don't know how much she knows about Deathwatch battle doctrines yet.

Rylor shook his head. “I can’t. With all due respect, you are asking me to risk my battle-brothers for a test of an unproven weapon, a xenos weapon at that.”

Ninety-Nine’s tail dropped down with a dull thunk. Chaplain Gabriel nodded.

“I understand.”

Chaplain Gabriel Enochian never trusted the Inquisition. Too much power with no one to answer for. When he was first assigned to this Watch Fortress, having an inquisitor as a Watch Master deepened his worry. Kryptman’s experiment teetered on heresy, and his latest creation would have been heresy if not for the approval of the Lord Commander.

“You have been flinging your authority too much. I had to give him the option.” Chaplain Gabriel said. “Forcing it would bring more distrust.”

“I’m aware.” Kryptman said. “The Lord Commander expects results.”

Kryptman watched the void behind the glass. The Watch Master’s office was dimly lit and vast. Rows of candles lit the corners of the metal interior, and experiment notes rested neatly inside the lines of cabinet files. Chaplain Gabriel stood behind the staircase that led to Kryptman’s table.

“I have other squads that I believe are good fit for it.” Gabriel said.

“Name one.” Kryptman continued to stare into the void.

“Kill-Team Sigil perhaps. They are seeking atonement from their failure, Ninety-Nine can be this atonement.” Gabriel pondered deeper.

“If only Titus was still with us…” Kryptman said, he sighed tiredly. “For now, I want it to study the Lectitio Divinitatus

“Understood.”

Chaplain Gabriel returned to his personal monastery. Pondering on what action to take. As much as he wanted to, casting the abomination into the void would be impossible. As much as he found it disgusting, However, The Lord Commander demanded a result and it was a weapon that could save the Imperium. Perhaps this was a test of his faith. After much praying, he came to a conclusion.

>Ninety-Nine would be under his tutelage first.
>Ninety-Nine had to be removed, for the sake of the Watch Fortress. This experiment was too far, he would first gain the support of his battle-brothers.
>Ninety-Nine would be sent to Kill-Team Sigil.
>Write-In (will be vetoed if it does not fit)
>>
>>6100575
>Ninety-Nine would be under his tutelage first.
Casting NN out would go against direct orders, and Kill-Team Sigil would either send her on a suicide mission or be under further disdain from their brothers. This would be the only way the Chaplain could find closure for his uncertainty.
>>
>>6100575
>>Ninety-Nine would be sent to Kill-Team Sigil.
>>
>>6100575
>Ninety-Nine would be under his tutelage first.
Ask Kryptman to deliver us all necessary data on Ninety-Nine. Command words, first imprinting and education, training regime done so far etc.... if Gabriel wants to give her tutelage and training for ensure she can work with a Kill-Team its best he knows what he is working with first. With that information gained, Gabriel can build something. The Lectitio Divinitatus study is acceptable.

>Write-In (will be vetoed if it does not fit)
Questions for Kryptman (i think Gabriel while he doesn't like what he sees, would want some answer from Kryptman. With this in mind i believe some questions are justified. Naturally i don't expect Kyrptman to tell the chaplain everything of Ninety-Nine or answer truthfully to all Gabriel questions, but the inquisitor has to compromise on something if Gabriel will be her tutor) :

- "How much time i have at my disposal in terms of tutelage, before her first mission ? A few years ? A decade ?"
- "What are so far the measures you have used for keep this project secret ? Not just to the Imperium at large."
- "Do you expect her to grow further physically ?"
- "What does..... Ninety-Nine believe she is ? Human ? You have seen her reaction to Rylor refusal."
- "Have you already thought about the kind of equipment, bionics and weaponry Ninety-Nine could use* ? If not, i will make sure of it myself by talking with one of the brothers at the Forge. She will be the weapon the Lord Commander wanted, and will look the part of it."
- "It goes without saying that she will learn about all the other branches of the imperial military. On that note, have you thought on how she could work with them if her Kill-Team needs to collaborate with them in missions ? Or will standard procedure be that she keep to the shadows and avoid to be seen by other allies ?"


*(such has armor for increased protection or stealth, while covering her to the eyes of mortal humans. A trick for make her look like a strange combat automata/servitor variant maybe)
>>
In regard to her future Kill-Team, if Kill-Team Sigil seek penance, then this works out just fine for us. They are obligated to do it with the sin of failure inside their heads.

Though when Gabriel is done with the tutelage, the Sigma Team might have recovered from their defeat.

>>6100575
>>6100621
Support, but I can’t imagine Gabriel would be calling it a “she” just yet.

>>6100575

>The Lectitio Divinitatus study is acceptable.
It would be ideal to make sure she's at least on pace with a Schola Progenum student in terms of literacy and intelligence, and a Progena once she reaches the age of one. A bumbling Ogryn would do the Deathwatch no good for their operations.

Chaplain Gabriel found the xenos disgusting, an abhorrent experimentation against The Emperor. He knew his history and his roots. Even so, she was a weapon sanctioned by the Lord Commander. This bitter fact made him realize that perhaps… this was a test.

“I pledge in the coming battle to bring glory.”

“Lead us to the truth from falsehood. Guide my hatred and let my wrath cleave the darkness… In the service of the God-Emperor.”

“Chaplain.”

The astartes’s right shoulder pauldron displayed a yellow background with a black griffon.

“Brother Thedas.” Chaplain Gabriel greeted.

“I hear there is some xenos hybrid in this Watch Fortress, is this true?”

He nodded. “Yes. A sanctioned experiment that is a weapon against the tyranid. Sanctioned by Lord Roboute Guilliman.”

Thedas looked down. “I see… I wanted to confirm if this was true. Is it also true she was rejected?”

“She has.”

“My brothers and I are willing to take her in. If Lord Primarch believes in this abomination, then so shall we.”

It made sense Kill Team Ultra would, they were not only Codex Compliant but from the successor chapters of the Ultramarines.

“Your offer is noted, brother. I will consider this.”

“That’s all I ask.”

Chaplain Gabriel pondered in the Watch Fortress’s monastery, watching the battle brothers praying or thinking in solace. Many brothers of different beliefs, battle doctrines, and faith gathered here. The Watch Fortress Monastery was not only a place of prayer, but also of peace, to cleanse their mind before the next battle in their eternal duty. The next day, Kryptman’s information on Ninety-Nine arrived via skull servo messenger.

+++—[CLEARENCE CODE VERMILLION ONE]—+++

Chaplain Gabriel

Subject 99’s mission will depend on the opportunity that it shows and so her secrecy will also depend on the mission. Her growth is yet to be predicted but to be seven to ten feet tall. Training in weapons is forbidden , not until her natural instincts and bio-weapons have been matured to satisfactory, but armor training will be allowed. For now, 99 is to act as a supplement, scout, and horde control. Her exposure to the wider Imperium will depend on the mission as well. Per discussion Ninety-Nine will be transferred under your tutelage tomorrow.

+++—[END OF TRANSMISSION]—+++

Chaplain Gabriel absorbed the information. So much said yet few revealed, Kryptman was a model inquisitor after all. A thought appeared in his head.

>He would teach her Lectitio Divinitatus, but as a study material and not as an indoctrination.
>Chaplain Gabriel shook his head, this was not a good idea.

For now, his plan was to…

>Training hall, to judge its barbaric instincts and weapons
>His monastery, to test her purity and devotion
>The Librarium, to scry her purity and devotion
>>
>>6101116
>He would teach her Lectitio Divinitatus, but as a study material and not as an indoctrination.
Gauge how literate she is currently, then assign her pages to read each day. Assign reports and examinations in arithmetic and Imperial history as her learning improves.

>He would teach her Lectitio Divinitatus, but as a study material and not as an indoctrination.
>His monastery, to test her purity and devotion

Not picking the librarium because we already know she’s probably not 100 per cent indoctrinated/pure, but we do still need to get an idea of where she’s at.
>>
>>6101116
Alright, I'm in~

>He would teach her Lectitio Divinitatus, but as a study material and not as an indoctrination.
This way she can, perhaps, relate better to the world of man.

>The Librarium, to scry her purity and devotion
What's the idea of a final build we go? From votes before, a juggernaut of some kind?
Admittedly, I was late and have no meaningful say in the matter but maybe you guys can build her more as Loyalist Gene stealer?
Here's the idea - Spehs Mareenis are powerful brutes in by themselves, and so a juggernaut would fulfil a similar role, but if she can master psychic/genetic abilities Tyranid have, maybe she can corrupt other xenos to serve Imperium? Eldar can have their jeans stolen, so do tau, hell, even orks wear their pants loosely! Imagine Deathwatch kill team with controlled ork Frontline as distraction, or Tyranid repear doggos as scouts!
(let's not forget the potential of becoming a faction of her own in the future/granting a great gift to Hive Mind)

Anyways, may the four-armed emperor bless you all, pals!

“This is the Lectitio Divinitatus.”

Inside his monastery, Chaplain Gabriel chose to test her purity and devotion. Ninety-Nine sat on tiny bucket with a crate in front of her. He placed the book on the crate, and observed.

Intelligence required: 5/10, not met.

Ninety-Nine picked up the Lectitio Divinitatus with one hand easily, as if lifting a las gun. Ninety-Nine brought her nose and sniffed, her nose wrinkled. Then slowly, carefully, her long prehensile tongue unfurled and licked the spine. Chaplain Gabriel shook his head and took back the Lectitio Divinitatus.

“Do you not know what this is?”

“A book.”

“Yes. It is a book.” Chaplain Gabriel said flatly. “Then why did you taste it?”

Ninety-Nine’s head cocked to the right, as if she was given the most complicated question of the millenia. Knowing the various tyranids that can eat anything with ravenous hunger, Ninety-Nine most likely inherited that disgusting instinct as well. Gabriel paused and asked the Emperor for patience. How would he test her purity and devotion?

“Do you know what a Chaplain is?”

“Emperor’s best friend!”

“I am the Emperor’s will made manifest, it is my duty to…” Chaplain Gabriel saw Ninety-Nine’s empty stare. “I am The Emperor’s… speaker. Do you understand?”

Ninety-Nine finally nodded.

“And I am here to test your devotion and purity.

Ninety-Nine was probably staring at the plate the whole time, wide-eyed and with her tongue hanging out.
>>
Chaplain Gabriel placed a plate of meat on the crate. Without a pause Ninety-Nine grabbed the meat.

“Stop.”

Ninety-Nine did as instructed, but her eyes were fixed on the meat.

“Before you eat, you must—”

“Chaplain Gabriel, you are needed in the monastery immediately. There is about to be a brawl if you don’t break it up.” Kryptman’s message transmitted from his helmet-vox. “I will be there as well.”

Chaplain Gabriel pointed at the meat. “Do not eat until I return.”

What started as a concerned protest devolved to a full on shouting match. Inside the Watch Fortress monastery, sons of Guilliman and the rest of the astartes stood on each side. Chaplain Gabriel and Lord Inquisitor watch from the side, wondering when the astartes would calm down.

“We can’t accept this! This is heresy!” Casus said.

“You dare accuse our Primarch of heresy?”

“We accuse him of questionable decisions, Thedas.” Casus said.

Thedas Rackham of the Howling Griffons and Casus Belli Of the Black Templars now stood face to face. Their ceramite armor was an inch apart. The tension in the air grew thick as tyranid swarms.

“Enough.”

Chaplain Gabriel stepped between Casus and Thedas.

“You both shame yourselves, save your hatred for your enemies.”

“That thing is an enemy. Abiding that thing’s existence is heresy!” A blackshield astartes said. “You are abetting this heretical existence! The shame is on you!”

Silence suddenly erupted. The astartes on both sides backed away as Chaplain Gabriel approached the blackshield astartes. Any members who were in for at least a decade knew Chaplain Gabriel’s origin. The new blackshield astartes however, did not.
>>
“I understand your concerns, I am as well. However…” Chaplain Gabriel stepped closer. “Do not question my devotion or accuse me of heresy again.”

The astartes behind the blackshield gently tugged him back. Chaplain Gabriel saw the astartes looking back at him.

“We are Deathwatch, the Emperor’s wrath against the xenos made manifest. That is why I have taken this grotesque task. Because I know this stain will mean nothing if this project will result in billions of xenos dead. I have taken this task because my hate burns hotter than any threats of dishonor. I do not fear dishonor for I will bear this sin if it means death upon the xenos. Brothers, bear this dishonor, for your suffering shall bring death upon the Emperor’s enemy…”

Chaplain Gabriel left the room. Bile and shame bubbled in his stomach, but he believe in his words. This shame he would bear, if it meant the death of the vile xenos. When Chaplain Gabriel returned to the room, he saw Ninety-Nine’s tail wrapped her eyes and her hand squeezed her nose. She blocked her sense of smell and sight to resist her urge. She fought against her instinct all because of her love for The Emperor.

“You may eat now.”

Ninety-Nine gasped. She raised the meat with her tail and lowered it into her gaping maw. She did not chew, but only swallowed. A sickening act, but knowing she fought her urges for the Emperor brought a drop approval in a sea of hate. Ninety-Nine looked around then spoke.

“Why do you look different from other astartees?”

“I am a Chaplain…” He paused to think. “I ensure the battle-brothers are… ready to fight.”

Ninety-Nine took in the information and nodded. Chaplain Gabriel thanked the Emperor for no other questions thrown in his way.

“Are you my chaplain too?”

“No.” Chaplain Gabriel replied immediately. “I oversee my battle-brothers. Your… creator is the one you should seek should you have questions of your battle readiness.”

Chaplain Gabriel placed the Lectitio Divinitatus on the crate.

“Open the first page.”

Ninety-Nine followed the instruction.

“What does it say?”

Ninety-Nine’s mouth stretched up and down. “Re— Reee jow cee.”

“Stop.” He took back the book and opened it. “Rejoice, for I bring you glorious news. God walks among us. Who is this God?”

“The Emperor!” Ninety-Nine said.

“Correct, but are you are also not correct. The Emperor is no God.” Chaplain Gabriel said, he knew this lesson would not go well for the… unique beliefs of the minority within the chapters of the adeptus astartes. “The Emperor is no God, he is the Master of Mankind, the greatest of all humanity. Pray to him as the greatest warrior and man, ask for his strength because he is the mightiest, not because he is a god.”

Ninety-Nine nodded. For now, this would do. The thing’s brain capacity needed to be kept in mind if he wanted her to be educated properly unlike the masses of the Imperium. Chaplain Gabriel took the crate in front of Ninety-Nine and placed the Lectitio Divinitatus inside.

“Your lessons on the Lectitio Divinitatus are complete. We will now test your strength and combat capability.”

In the training arena, when the astartes saw the thing enter. All, even the sons of Guilliman, stared in disgust.

“Abomination… if I can’t kill that thing I’d rather train in a different area.”

“I concur, however, if Chaplain Gabriel is here we will be able to see his prowess…”
Some astartes ceased their training while others continued in their own respective areas. Ninety-Nine twirled to see the black coated ceramite battle-masters. Creatures, weapons, skulls (Ninety-Nine noticed lots of skull symbols) and colors decorated the right pauldron of each battle-masters. Then she saw Chaplain’s, she saw none.

“Why don’t you have a colorful shoulder?”

Chaplain Gabriel held his crozius tight.

“I will tell you when you are ready.” Which was never, Chaplain Gabriel thought. “You have fought before, yes?”

Ninety-Nine nodded.

“Then take your stance, and try to strike me.”

Ninety-Nine charged, her tail coiled and her powerful legs launched her forward. No matter what attack she tried, Chaplain Gabriel dodged them all with absolute ease. After another failed attempt, she saw the weapon coming at her. She raised her arm where her exoskeletons were and braced for impact.

The crozius struck. Ninety-Nine withstood the attack with her clawed feet firm and her tail firmly propping her up. While the swing was light, Chaplain Gabriel still found himself struck with awe. If Ninety-Nine could be unmoved at such a young age even if it was a light attack she could easily fight an astartes in the near future. Maybe even a carnifex in her full maturity.

Ninety-Nine grinned. This, this he did not like.

Chaplain Gabriel swung his crozius faster and stronger. The assault soon overwhelmed Ninety-Nine’s defense, causing her to curl up into a oval shaped ball of exoskeleton. Chaplain Gabriel lowered his crozius.

“Get up. The soldiers of The Emperor does not cower.”

Ninety-Nine hesitated, but unfurled and stood back up.

“Next time, do not assume your enemy’s first few strikes to be their strength, and when you are losing, make space and think of a way to defeat your opponent.”

“What if I can’t?”

“Then you die.” Chaplain Gabriel said. “Stand up. We will begin again.”

Ninety-Nine has gained +1 Intelligence from “learning” the Lectitio Divinitatus and learning about combat.

After the lessons, Ninety-Nine lay sweating.

“Do you know your way back to your creator?”

“I don’t know…”

“I will have a servitor guide you then. I have other duties I must attend.”

With that, Chaplain Gabiel left. Later, the servitor arrived and had her follow him.

Bolted to death or look around.
If Kryptman allows her to go around the Watch Fortress, then he has already plenty of measures in place for avoid the creature kills it self for curiosity or stupidity. Gabriel would have not just fetch a servitor otherwise for guide her back. Roboute wants results afterall, not a corpse at least not too soon.


>>6103046
With this being a watch fortress it has no city like other space stations, its entirely military in nature beside what Kyrptman has added. The humans would be mostly serfs and mechnomants and limited in numbers. And if we want to stretch it any Inquisition personnel under Kyrptman, like his own Interrogators, Agents, Retinues and Stormtroopers could be on board too. Of course servitors too be for work, turrets, armed ones etc... if we count those has human.

If xenos would be freely on board the watch fortress would be under attack, the only xenos on board are Kyrptman other experiments. This is a difficult place to infiltrate, to find and with not much biomass. Also heavily defended.

I am not sure what Kryptman did for make her, but if he couldn't find a counter to the Tyranid part of her, then she goes immediately under Hive Mind control upon contact with a splinter fleet of tyranids. The Hive mind is far above a few trillions of bioforms and spreading quite rapidly across the whole galaxy in this new age, while having direct and perfect control over them unless specific brain command units (ranging from a standard warrior to a bioship) are killed, so there is no "but". Human-tyranid hybrids in lore are completely under control of a Patriarch of genestealers. She must not be an entirely human-tyranid hybrid.

Brother Thedas and his kill-team made their way through the halls. The Watch Fortress has been tense lately. This abomination sanctioned by their Lord Primarch made other non-Ultramarines battle-brothers question their Father’s decisions. Him! The Avenging Son, The Lord Regent, Roboute Guilliman!

“But that thing’s appearance is grotesque.” Yataghan Varvakin, an Iron Snakes astartes said.

Yataghan polished his lance as the tech-priests went off with his bolter.

“It’s repulsive, I still think we should not accept it. I might kill it accidentally if we face the tyranids again.” An odd accented low gothic came from the astartes with a power armor decorated with fur pelt and tribal markings.

“Why did you accept such a task?” A dour and low voice from Lexius said. His right pauldron was that of bright blue and a white U shaped, a

“Because that thing is our father’s project, aiding that thing will benefit him.” Another dour astartes answered, his pauldron was that of the Avenging Sons.

“It is what Moris said. I do not like the thing’s presence, but we must trust our Lord Primarch.” Thedas said. “Brothers, I know this will be an ordeal, but we are sons of Guilliman, surely—”

They all heard small clanks from across. The experiment skipped across the common area, where battle-brothers could discuss various topics that pertain to their duties. Some would debated which bolters suited better, and some discussed their ravenous hatred of xenos and their varying hatred for the Inquisition. Every astartes worthy of their placement here saw it moving. Then, the vox-comm whined a sharp tune before Kryptman’s voice spoke.

“Subject Ninety-Nine has escaped, retrieve the subject without harming unless it attacks first. Repeating, Subject Ninety-Nine has escaped, retrieve the subject without harming unless it attacks first. Ninety-Nine, if you are hearing this, return immediately. ”

“Uh oh…” Ninety-Nine squeaked.

Ninety-Nine saw the battle-masters staring at her.

Ninety-Nine’s tail drooped down as her shoulders slumped. The energy leaked out as she turned around and left. Ninety-Nine followed the smell of oil, lube, and near-rotten corpse. Following the scent made the return to Hive-Father an easier process. Her tiny clawed feet click clacked all the way to the hive-home. Hive-Father stood at the top of the stairs, glaring down.

“Ninety-Nine, this will not happen again, am I understood?”

Ninety-Nine nodded. She looked down at her clawed feet as her tail laid flat on the floor.

“I understand, Hive-Father…”

“To your room.”

Ninety-Nine’s tail dragged as she returned to her room. The ten inch thick ceramite door closed with a thud. The walls of her room consisted of gray ceramite walls lit by bleached white light. Her dolls lay scattered across the floor and a large soft sack and a red blanket waited for her longing embrace. Ninety-Nine dover into her blanket and bed, hugging the soft synth materials and curling up, she smiled as she let out a content chirp. But soon, she found herself bored and sleep did not come faster as usual. What to do?

Kill-Team Rylor fought with glory. Guns were shot. Things burned. Yet, the swarms of bad tyranids continued to spill into the Watch-Fortress. Hive-Father fought with all his might, as did Chaplain Gabriel. The big bad tyranids beaten up many of the battle-masters,

“We can’t hold on!”

“We must fight to the last!”

Suddenly, the swarms stopped. They all turned around as the Hive-Queen used her special power to command them. These bad bugs who fought against The Emperor soon repented, but that wasn’t enough. They needed to serve, to redeem themselves. And she, Ninety-Nine would be the leader.

“You saved us!” Rylor said. “I super regret saying no to you, I’ll never reject you again!”

“Us too!” The other astartes said in unison. “Please join our kill-team!”

“I’m very proud of you, Ninety-Nine.” Hive Father said.

A golden light showered inside the watch fortress. It was the Emperor!

“Ninety-Nine, for making the bad bugs not bad. You are hereby declared as Hero of The Imperium. You can go wherever you want, eat whatever you want and now everyone will be your friend.”

From then on, Ninety-Nine had lots of friends and was loved by everyone. She lived happily ever after.

Ninety-Nine’s voice bounced against the hard ceramite walls. The buzzing from the light filled the room as she stopped her narration. She quietly stared at the ratty dolls. Ninety-Nine gathered the dolls in her arm then wrapped herself with her blanket. She closed her eyes once more, wishing for a wonderful dream.

Lord Inquisitor Kryptman watched as Ninety-Nine fell asleep behind the glass. He sighed, wondering where he went so wrong that Ninety-Nine gained emotions. He needed a weapon, not a child. He removed his glasses then massaged the bridge of his nose. She needed to learn the tyranids were the enemies that were to be eradicated, not some dogs that can be trained.

Innocentiae Nihil Probat

Innocence proves nothing.

Lord Inquisitor Fidus Kryptman pondered much. After seeing Ninety-Nine’s… playtime, he realized her putrid view of the xenos. This innocent belief that the xenos were redeemable. He held himself back when he saw that, nearly giving her a whipping to correct her behavior. The only reason he didn’t was this action would lead to resentment, he needed her loyalty, and those were not easily cultivated.

“My lord?” Interrogator Darwin said.

The xenos did not have the right to exist. To think she saw them as… convertible. Ninety-Nine’s naivete disgusted him. To be fair, just about everything about Ninety-Nine disgusted him. From her appearance. The way she spoke. And her strange giddy attitude.

“Repeat what you said.” Kryptman commanded.

“Yes, there seem to be a report of a strange sighting and incidents of workers disappearing at Hoxxes V. Seeing how this world has rich resources and diverse biomes, I thought it would be important to report this to you.”

“Hoxxes hmm?”

With Ninety-Nine’s template in stock, recreating another Ninety-Nine would not be riskier than her creation. However, she was an asset that was not to be easily recreated.

“I will order a scout team, send the coordinate to the location.”

“Yes, Lord Inquisitor.”

The cogitator beeped, showing the location. The biome was…

>A logging factory in a dense forest

Dim lights illuminated the black ceramite armor of the Deathwatch astartes. The safety harness descended with a hiss, clasping the astartes like a coiling serpent. The dull humm of the engines accompanied the somber silence. The astartes of Kill-Team Ultra meditated for the mission ahead.

“I’m so excited, this is my first missions I can’t wait, can you?”

Each mission was a sacred duty. The burden the adeptus astartes willingly and proudly carry, weighed more than other astartes. For their actions reflected on their primarch, the great Roboute Guilliman the avenging son. For Brother Moris, his chapter’s stain of—

CLANG CLANG CLANG CLANG CLANG

“I’m so excited that my tail’s out of control!”

Sitting next to a modified seat made to hold Ninety-Nine, her hammerhead tail wagged, hitting the wall on her left then to Moris Talia’s helmet on the right. This too, was a penance, Moris thought.

“Brother Moris are you—”

“Not. One. Word.”

The thunderhawk cut through the thick fog as it descended on the landing pad of Nu-Omega Five. The clasp released the kill-team and the door opened with a rasping hiss.

“This is Kill-Team Ultra, we have made contact with the facility.” Thedas reported.

“Good. Report back once the facility has been cleared of the threat.” The Watch Command said.

“Understood. Thedas out.”

The layers of fog and chilling air ran through the facility.

“Stay close Ninety-Nine, and warn us if you sense anything. Do you remember the sign?”

Ninety-Nine tapped the ground three times, then two more times.

“Good.”

>Ninety-Nine lurked behind [Roll for sneak]
Difficulty: 8
Amount of rolls: 2

Reason: Ninety’s build is not meant for sneaking. Considering the facility’s metal interiors, the sound she makes will echo.
Success: She will be able to follow without being noticed by the [unknown] and Kill-Team Ultra. Should something follow them, she will spot it/them first.
Failure: She will make a lot of noises and will look really really stupid.

Little cloth covered Ninety-Nine. A synth body glove covered from her neck to her hips, the rest were covered by the exoskeleton armor. As Kill-Team Ultra moved, Ninety-Nine sniffed the air. Weaved between the scent of metal, unrefined fuel, and sea air, she smelled something raw. A familiar scent like hers. Ninety-Nine tapped the ground three times.

“What do you see?” Thedas said through the vox.

“Not see, smell.” Ninety-Nine said. “I can smell it.”

Thedas nodded, he noticed the lens of the vox-transmitter attached at the center of her chest. Thedas and the rest of the astartes had to bend their neck down fully to see the abomination looking up.

“Command, this is Thedas. Ninety-Nine has confirmed a presence by scent.”

The vox crackled first. “Understood. Investigate the scent. Out.”

“I will go with the abo— Ninety-Nine.” Lexius said. “Track us through the sensor in case of this being a trap.”

“I don’t think there’s any trap. I’d know.” Ninety-Nine said.

“Move to the scent.” Lexius commanded.

Past the halls and refinery machines, Lexius followed the thing below the stairs. The lumens on his helmet illuminated the path. The room grew warmer, and the damp ground became sticky with black substance.

“Hmm…” Ninety-Nine licked the floor. “It doesn’t taste anything familiar. Hey look!”

Familiar. Lexius ignored the word and the unholy implication did not matter when he saw the cocooned corpses of tech priests and workers. He knew what this was, weavers, a subspecies of a lictor that has been seen recently.

Hiveling? Why here?

Ninety-Nine saw the tyranid hiding on the ceiling. The tyranid-friend let out a quiet trill only she could hear.

Our blood. But free. Why separated?

Ninety-Nine cocked her head her throat trilled back. Friend. Don’t be mean. Serve like me! Be friend!

Enemy. You not kin! Must warn hive mind!

Ninety-Nine shrugged. She saw the hive mind link and used her own link to usurp it quietly. One bad bug was easy to do.

This is an excellent opportunity to see what the Space Marine does as well. Will he hesitate to observe the control Ninty-Nine exudes? Or will he immediately put a bolt through it head and cause feedback? Does she suffer from feedback? I theorize that she wouldn't suffer much if she's higher on the totem pole of the psykic link.

The one and only factor that may keep the space marines from killing it immediately is to exploit it for finding the rest of the Tyranids in the rig. If they kill it, the others will hear and either slip away or corner them, or they will simply have no leads to the rest of the hive. This facility must be very important if they're not nuking it from orbit. I think whatever horrors Kryptman intended Ninety-Nine to see will be where the hive is, anyway (eg corpses, feeding, using corpses as egg incubators, etc).
>>
>>6105017
>“Battle-master, I found it!” The lictor unveiled its invisibility field by her command and leapt down on the floor and did not move. “See? I found the bad bug!”
This bad bug doesn't know the glory of the Emperor, Ninety-Nine! You must let your Battle-master know of their lack of faith!
>>
>>6105017
>Enemy. You not kin! Must warn hive mind!
I gotta ask why don't the others know the instant this one realizes we exist? Does the hivemind run on dialup connection? I'm also assuming tyranids have some sort of psudo individualism going on here based on the fact it talked to us in the first place which isn't a interpretation I see that often when it comes to tyranids.

>“Battle-master, I found it!” The lictor unveiled its invisibility field by her command and leapt down on the floor and did not move. “See? I found the bad bug!”

>>6105128
Well, we know the psychic feedback death of higher organisms really messes with the lower nids. They basically go feral until a higher organism regains control.

>>6105308
Well Lictors do posses a bit more intelligence than other mid-size nid soldiers. this is because they are meant as elite forward scouts and assassins. They purposely locate leaders of sentient organisms to kill and eat their memories to allow the hive mind to better assault the wider population. Kind of like a Mind Flayer.

“Battle-master, I found it!” The lictor unveiled its invisibility field by her command and leapt down on the floor and did not move. “See? I found the bad bug!”

A lictor, the assassin and the scout of every hive fleet. Knowing Hoxxes V, it was not surprising to see the lictor here. And it was no wonder why most in the facility were dead with few survivors that had escaped with their life raft. A question rose, why did it still stay here?

“See battle-master?”

“Do not break your concentration.”

As much as it disgusted him not to kill the abomination on sight, no one could ever interrogate a tyranid. He did not let this opportunity pass.

“Did it come alone?”

Lexius watch Ninety-Nine stare at the lictor briefly then it broke eye contact.

“He did.”

“Did it have a plan.”

“He was going to kill everyone but when it saw them leaving, he chose to stay because he knew bigger people would come.” She glanced back and nodded. “Like you, battle-master. It wanted to eat you so he can see your memories.”

“That’s all that matters.”

Lexius’s power sword freed the lictor’s head. The body slumped on the floor. Ninety-Nine stared at the body, eyes wide and unblinking. He could only hope this was the only lictor sent,

“The friend-bug was listening to me… why did you—”

Lexius grabbed Ninety-Nine and threw it to the webbed up corpses.

“Look at the corpses and tell me these abominations are friends.” Lexius said. “Do not, ever, call them friends in my presence.”

“But he was just hungry. He didn’t mean any harm I’m sure of it!”

Lexius shook his head. He held back an insult, knowing full well he was being watched. It was not his place to teach the weapon of morality. That was apparently Chaplain Gabriel’s job.

“This is Lexius. Threat has been eliminated. Brother-Sergeant, we will return to your position.”

“Understood, Brother-Leixus. We will stand by.”

Another vox cut in with a brief crackle.

“This is Lord Inquisitor Kryptman. You are to praise Ninety-Nine for a job well done.”

Lexius paused. “Repeat your command, Inquisitor. I did not hear you.”

“This is to ensure her loyalty stays to the Imperium and the God-Emperor. Do it.”

Lexius stared at the chitinous lizard thing. He pulled every will to not kill the creature in front of him. Now to praise it? Lexius told himself this was just another trial in his duty.

“You did good.” Lexius grimaced as he spoke. “Now follow. We will return to the watch-fortress.”

The thing beamed a toothy smile.

“Really? I really did good?”

“Yes. Now move it.”
Ninety-Nine scurried behind, trilling all the way.

Assuming that each stat is rounded down after dividing by two, an intelligence of at least 6 could suffice. Assuming Gabriel's tutoring is consistent over the next several in-quest years, she should be on pace with a Progena.

Primarch of The Ultramarines. The Lord of Ultramar. The Avenging Son. Lord Commander of the Imperium. The Lord Regent.

Roboute Guilliman.

Was tired.

Oh so very tired.

Inside a chamber of gray ceramite walls, a large circular machine displayed the thousands of Imperium world. The dark green light bathed Guilliman and his armor. He watched the green light turn red. Guilliman reigned in his strength as he grabbed the rims of the holo-display tightly. He closed his eyes shut tightly in mournful silence.

“My lord… perhaps it’s time you took a rest.” Cato Sicarius said.

“I do not need rest. Not yet.” Guilliman said.

“You said that four months ago.” Cato said.

“I know.”

Cato Sicarius stood guard as did his honor guards, close yet so far away. Guilliman did not attempt to make a joke ever since he found his sons were more… serious.

“Transmission incoming.” The cogitator said.

A metall branch pushed the screen forward toward the holo-display. The screen showed the important content.

+++[MESSAGE:SECURITY LEVEL VERMILLION ULTRA]+++
+++[STRATEGIC IMPORTANCE: ABSOLUTE]+++

He sighed. Everything was absolute importance nowadays.

“Proceed.” Guilliman confirmed.

+++[REPORT: SUBJECT NINETY-NINE:MISSION ONE]+++

Yes, Ninety-Nine, a creation from Kryptman and Cawl. If not for their insistence, he would have outright denied this madness. Then again, the whole galaxy was mad. Maybe he himself as well…

“Open report.”

Guilliman’s eyes widened as he read the report.

“It worked…” He muttered in shock. “It really worked.”

For the first time since his awakening, a small ember of hope glowed.

“What worked, my lord?” Cato said.

Guilliman turned around to Cato with a determined gaze.

“The weapon against the tyranid.”

After her return, Ninety-Nine was rewarded for her first mission. In her newly furnished room, Ninety-Nine spread her limbs on top of a large pile of blankets, complete with a larger pillow and new dolls to play with. Her life was getting better and better, soon she would even be able to roam free! On top of that she was given another reward. Which was…

I'm honestly just curious about what sort of programs would be available to Nines.
>>

Approved Programming.

Also, It's kind of nice to see Guilliman happy about a hair-brained scheme showing results.
>>
>>6105982
>A cogitator with five (that’s the same number of talons on her hand!) vox-channels
I really can't see Kryptman trying her to roam around. Her eating habits are disgusting by human standards (and giving her a free pass to too much food might awaken undesired instincts). And bothering the astartes is out of the question.

Also, what do her stats really mean? Strength 8/10 took a light blow from an astartes, so are they 10/10? What about an Ogryn, who are generally physically as strong or stronger than a space marine in brute terms (albeit much less skilled and capable). Is a carnifex, a being that can easily knock an incautious battle-brother clean through a rockcrete wall and is described as a living siege weapon, a 14/10?

Regardless, I think part of Ninine's reward should be a biiiig Aquila painted onto her carapace, jsut to make it very, very clear that she's a sanctioned xeno. Even a Black Templar might hesitate for a fraction of a second before cleaving down something bearing the Emperor's holy symbol... Only for a split second mind you, but that's better than nothing!

>>6106131
Man needs a nap. ...If he visits the watchstation to personally check on the project, I can totally see Ninine doing something like giving him her favorite plushie and saying it helps her sleep. The look of sheer confusion on his face would be priceless.

When on off-duty and not doing anything in particular? Not really, especially if Kryptman orders them to. What >>6106221 says is very much correct, and Ninety-Nine needs to develop a closer understanding of her assigned team, anyway.

Would Kill-Team Ultra be a lesser mortal, they would have shown their displeasure. Each battle-brother listened to their new “orders.” An hour a day, when they were not on a mission at least one of them had to interact with her and show no hostility. Their topic could be anything, any questions they could not answer were to be noted and notified.

“Brother Thedas.” Lexius said calmly

Thedas did not sigh but nodded. “I’m well aware of what you will tell me.”

“Good.” Lexius said again.

“I am not fond of abominations. But the lass did her job.” Nvas said. “What?”

“That abomination can control a tyranid. What will happen if she goes against the Imperium?” Yataghan polished his lance. “The moment she shows a sign of hostility, I’m going to kill it.”

Thedas shook his head. He understood their reluctance and their justified hatred. Even he himself could not bear to look at the thing for so long.

“It, is a weapon created to protect the Imperium.” Thedas said.

“A weapon can be wielded by a different hand should one falters.” Moris finally said. “If my brother can betray the Imperium, there is no doubt the spawn will too.”

Thedas could not help agree.

“Then we shall hope it does not. Or I will slay it myself. And who will be taking turn today? We all have to do it once.”

Thedas saw no hands raising. “I will do it myself then…”

Thedas sat on a heavy duty crate and Ninety Nine sat on the smallest crate available. Ninety-Nine looked up with wide sparkling eyes. Her tails swished back and forth, and her splitting smile revealed her sharp jagged fangs and long tongue. The form was revolting. The girl was not human and not a tyranid, but an unholy combination of both.

“Greetings.” Thedas said.

“Hellow!” Ninety-Nine said.

There was a pause. A long one at that. Thedas sat still, the visor reflected Ninety-Nine’s excited gaze.

“So… how are you?”

“Good.” Ninety-Nine said.

“That’s good.”

Another pause.

“Do you…” Thedas prayed for some ideas. Something. Anything… “want to hear my chapter’s glorious deeds?”

“What’s a chapter?”

“It is a formation of one thousand space marines that are from the first founding chapters that was a legion.” Thedas said.

“What’s a legion?”

“A former organization of space marines. Once led by a primarch.” Thedas said.

“Like Robussy Gyattliman?”

“Yes… like lord Roboute Guilliman.” Thedas said “Would you like to hear the story or not?”

“I have a question.”

My plan was having a knowledge on the wider Imperium's belief in knowing that the Emperor is revered as God. Then she learns of the famous people, Ciaphas Cain, Celestine, and Roboute Guilliman. One day at a point in this qst, I definitely want to write Celestine accepting her or Ciaphas meeting her as she saves the Valhallans from a winter adapted tyranids. But that's like in the future.

I love the SoB, but it's hard to find a way to let 99 interact without being fucking murdered even if she's sanctioned. She'd be treated so badly that it feels lore breaking if I made them tolerate her.

>>6107301
With more missions under her belt maybe, like very very hard maybe. For now it's good that the watch fortress forge, made her the custom equipment to wear in missions. Not much combat experience for now, since the lictor was quite isolated. But there will be more opportunities now that she is assigned to Kill Team Ultra.

The only thing that comes to mind for some actual true very border line acceptance is finding or taking back an imperial relic or a STC fragment. If not an outright visible blessing of the imperial faith. Even with many missions completed she would be just seen has the hideous monster weapon ™, made by an Inquisitor and deployed with a Kill Team.
>>
>>6107421
They could treat her well if they don't KNOW she's a mutant.

“Who are the other primarchs?”

“There is Lion’el Jonson, the Primarch of the Dark Angels. Jaghatai Khan, the primarch of the White Scars. Leman Russ and his Space Wolves. Rogal Dorn, the primarch of the Imperial Fist. Sanguinius of the Blood Angels. Vulkan, the primarch of the Salamanders. And last but not least, Corvus Corax of the Raven Guard. I’m certain you will meet the sons of these legions.”

“I will?”

“Certainly.”

“That’s a lot of primerchs.” Ninety-Nine said.

“There are.” Thedas confirmed, only to continue the conversation.

The rest of the conversation continued, answering various questions of the astartes. Most answers were what his chapters did and the rest were dependent on the chapters. The conversation dragged on, but Thedas was confident that with most questions done, the next time would not be long as the next time.

“The lictor is confirmed dead and we have confirmation on her hive-control on an actual tyranid. The defense of Hoxxes V have been doubled.” The acolyte said.

The holo-display showed the various world under different kind of xenos threats. Plenty were tyranid invasions. Manufactorums, resource based worlds, hive worlds, but there was one enemy that he had yet to send Ninety-Nine on, but would they present worse or easier threats to dispatch?

“Good.” Kryptman said. “It seems like her tracking ability is better than I thought. Bring up the missions that will launch tomorrow.”

The holo-display projected three worlds. The interrogator read from the data slate.

“There is a request from a manufactorum-world of Hazel, Kill-Team Priad has failed to send the virus bomb payload into the deeper hive. Then there is Mol, a mining world that is currently under an invasion where a scarred trigon has been repeatedly causing immense casualties. Finally, a Paradise World known as Eve has requested our aid after they found a mutant that may seem like a genestealer.”

Kryptman watched the three worlds. His finger hovered over…

>>
>>6107713

May as well see if it works on genestealers. Also should be relatively easy if it does compared to a mother fucking Trygon but not the end of the world if it doesn't. Plus genestealers are particularly bad if left unchecked.

Genestealers are a big no-no. There's likely a small cult on the planet by now, hopefully no older than a generation or two.

>The conversation dragged on, but Thedas was confident that with most questions done, the next time would not be long as the next time.
That implies she likely asked where the Emperor is right now. I wonder how Thedas answered that question.

>>6107507
Like >>6107514 said, a full disguise is only going to be a facade that even Ninety-Nine is aware of. As she grows taller, her exoskeleton expands, and her natural weapons become more prominent with maturity, it'd be more difficult to hide what she is anyway. There will inevitably come a time, perhaps soon, when she fully grasps how much of an oddity she is. I don't think she'll stoop to betrayal, but depression is certainly going to hit her like a runaway freight train. Who knows what kind of personality she'll have when that happens. Maybe she'll develop an obsession with Imperial customs and culture to quite literally dress over her insecurities. Alternatively, she'd wear a mask purely out of loathing toward herself, as if she doesn't want to remind herself of how "human" she could have been.

The Lictor was nothing to sneeze at, but we should see what her current weight-class is.

>>
>>6107713
>>Hazel
Unless I misunderstand, Hazel seems like the safest option for now. and with a potential to boot - since 99 can, perhaps, appropriate a part of the hive.

Mol seems dangerous, but challenging physically, so it's fire baptism of sorts.

Eve seems like a nightmare of consequences when 99 gets treated with dignity and as a kin. It's easier for her to live among the imperials when she has no concept of, I don't know, respect or actual friends. 1/2 gens might get friendly with her, especially younger ones and kids. And that's a recipe for existential angst when she starts, by comparison, getting the feeling that everyone in the imperium - Everyone - literally murderously despises her.

If we go to Hazel, we're most likely to pick up some tiny gaunts that can become friends.

Eve.

Kryptman doubted the paradise world wanted to see astartes. Many diplomats, governors, and nobles frequented these paradise worlds. Sending a team of astartes would be a horrible message that the Inquisition did not care for their peace.

“We have yet to test if her ability could affect gene stealers. Eve will be her next assignment.”

It was a good thing that the Inquisition did not care. Krypt man saw the lush forests and valleys of its natural beauty. Rivers and waterfall made for perfect picnic spots, and the weather was always a four seasoned cycle so predictable that they would sometimes be tithed. Eve was a world ripe for biofuels.

“Which astartes, Inquisitor?”

Kryptman rubbed his chin.

This would require an investigative team, but still be a strong combat force.

The Space Wolves had keen senses more than others. Raven Guard successors were ideal for scouts.

“ This mission will have Ninety-Nine locate the gene-stealers, they will either run to the mountains or the forests. I will need a strike team to cripple the cult and have my main force to wipe the rest out. Tyr of the Space Wolves will do, he’s the most level headed there among his brothers here.”

“Inquisitor, will it be wise to send a Space Wolves space marine where the nobles are?”

Kryptman and his Interrogator stared at one another. A burst of hearty laughter echoed inside the room.

“Now, I want—”

>Mawsl, from the Charadons, his stealth capability and melee prowess is perfect for this mission.
>Ranos, The Raptors marksmanship and stealth will be perfect for this mission.

“Then Altai of the White Scars. His skills are plenty and will be a good addition along with Obediah, I doubt the killteam will be happy but a Red Hunter will ease my worries.”

“And the last astartes?” The interrogator said. “Perhaps a human representative?”

Kryptman scrolled through his data slate.

Strangely enough, he might be more tolerant of Ninety-Nine's presence than others because of the chapter's infamous reputation for brutal pragmatism. They deal with Ashen Claws, after all. Other Astartes in the squad would be wise to advise Ninety-Nine to leave plenty of room for him when in CQC, however.

Clay lazily rested on the hammock that hung in the hangars as he read the data-slated.

Tyr, Space Wolves, expert in melee combat. A polite and boisterous fellow.
Mawsl of the Charadons Astra, they were stealthy as they were creepy.
Altai of the White Scars, an all rounder. A decent fellow.
Obediah, a Red Hunter astartes.

A headache struck Clay. A Red Hunter. It seems that his esteemed Lord Inquisitor wanted to make his life worse than usual. On the bright side, being an interrogator of Ordo Xenos meant comfortable traveling. The not so bright side…

“Clay! Clay!”

Clay prayed for patience. He thought he could hide in a maze of stacked crates and shelves, but her sense of smell already found him. Twice. He was afraid hiding the third time would make her assume this was a game.

“Yes, Ninety-Nine?”

Clay saw Ninety-Nine below the hammock, by The Emperor were her eyes so frightening to look at.

“Are we there yet?”

“For the last fifteenth time, no.”

Clay rested his head on his pillow. He heard tiny taps. Suddenly, Ninety-Nine jumped up to an adjacent shelf. Ninety-Nine’s tail hooked a backpack full of various survival gear as if she was carrying a pillow. If he wanted some sleep, he had to make Ninety-Nine busy, fast.

“Ninety-Nine.”

Roll intelligence

Reason: She’s barely literate, rubiks cube will test her patience as well as her intelligence.

Success: She is happy getting one side right, not the whole thing, but that’s enough for her. 99 will stop bothering Clay which will make him happier

Failure: Roll either 5 or 4, she’s willing to try later. Roll 3 or 2, she gives up quickly but will have some interest. Roll a 1, she hurls the rubiks cube in anger (must roll a D2 to see if it will Clay)

It's a good thing Clay didn't hand her the pad. Mawsl would only have so much patience with Ninety-Nine humming Baby Shark.
>>
Clay watched Ninety-Nine struggle, but was patient enough to complete the half of one side. Not a bad start, though she gave up in boredom but stuck close to Clay as she was taught to do.

“Clay?”

“Make it quick, Ninety-Nine.”

“What’s Eve like?”

“It’s a nice planet full of—”

Clay shot up from the hammock. He stared at the white and purple exoskeleton, the tair with a hammer shaped end, and the black sclera with yellow eyes and vertical pupils. Emperor’s nads! He forgot what he had to hide her!

“Ninety-Nine. With me, immediately.”
Ninety-Nine followed the nice but smelly man to a room full of boxes, trash, and a bed.

“Is this where the trashes go?”

“No, it’s my room.”

“Why do you live where the trash go?”

Now that she realized it, a lot of rooms were full boxes. Clay opened the box and fished out a small red hooded robe.

“Arms up.”

The natural edges on her exoskeleton ripped the fabrics as Clay pulled down the robes.

“Oh for Terra’s sake…”

Clay looked around. There were little options he could find. No armor were small enough for her and the retinue did not have any ratlings. He had to think of a way… later. The navigator did say it would take a couple of cycles and would be fortunate to arrive faster.

Fuck it.

The warp travel took as long as the navigator predicted. Which meant Clay eventually found a disguise that worked, with a little bit of ingenuity, threatening tech priests, and stealing supplies of one unfortunate sailor, he managed to create a well made disguise.

“Alright, this final piece should do it.”

Clay tied the final piece in. The welded armor hid most of her features with tough fabric stitched into a robe. Now that he took a step back and looked at Ninety-Nine, she did not look armored but a walking barrel with a raggedy black cloth. On the bright side, her tyranid features were mostly hidden, he only prayed people would accept her tail as a mechanical limb.

“Well… I gave it my best shot.” Clay muttered. “I bet he planned this.”

“My first armor!” Ninety-Nine bounced with ease. “I’m like Chaplain Gabreeiel!”


Clay was glad Chaplain Gabriel was absent.

“I’m sure you are…”

Few days later. Kill-Team Omen, Clay, and Ninety-Nine arrived at Eve. As the astartes exited the thunderhawk, Clay knelt down.

“Remember Ninety-Nine. Stick close to me. Don’t go anywhere without me and do not say anything unless I tell you to, got it?”

Ninety-Nine nodded.

“Good. Let’s go.”

The thunderhawk landed at the hangar located on a white castle perched at a tall mountain. As Ninety-Nine followed, she saw the dull colored city below briefly. The scenery of the surrounding trees and the distant mountains and the blue sky with fluffy white clouds almost snatched her attention. This was a mission after all, she had to focus!

“Good, you’re still following, come along Ninety-Nine.”

Clay and Kill-Team Omen approached a woman in a black and red dress waiting at the end of the landing pad. Clay saw the tall towers in the distance made of white materials in the shape of spires domes under the blue sky. No doubt this city sized castle would be full of secret passages. How wonderful.

“Greetings, Interrogator, honored astartes.” The woman then glanced at Ninety-Nine but did not skip a beat. “And honored guest. I am Madam Kardashian, the Matriarch of Eve. Allow me to first welcome you, would you like a tour of our fine establishment?”

The woman used thick make-up to hide her rejuvenation signs, which Clay easily caught.

“No need, send us the map data and lead us to the site where the genestealer was found.”

Kardashian did not show any reaction, she merely gave a brief nod and tapped on her data-slate.

“And the suspected cultists?”

“They are in our prison. We will lead you to them once you are ready. Are you ready to see the site?”

“Splendid, thank you. Lead us to the site.”

Ninety-Nine followed them, clanking with each step as they arrived inside the castle. The guests and servants all parted ways for the angels of death, an Interrogator (not that they knew the difference) and one stumpy trash can. Not a single battle-brother spoke as they made their way. Ninety-Nine rankled her nose, everything smelled so awful here.

“This is the site.” Clay entered a small common area. “This is where the man was murdered?”

“Yes.”

The white walls shone as an interior water fountain quietly splash in a three prong stream. Sofas and chairs herded in groups. Bookshelves occupied the walls with recliner chairs and a side table. At the corner of the room, white folding screens blocked a grisly scene.

“Ninety-Nine, with me. Kill-Team Omen, remain outside. This won’t take long.”

Clay did not flinch and neither did Ninety-Nine, who seemed relatively unbothered at the fresh sight of gore and hair. Her stomach growled. Clay began to inspect the shredded couch and collected various samples. Ninety-Nine saw the red jam

Destroyed wigs perhaps? I don't think the victim had a lot of hair, if he was a nobleman even with rejuvenant he had lived for centuries. Having less hair should be normal at that age.

What I find strange here, however, is that she doesn't like the smells of the castle. It's strange, in the previous mission there were much stronger smells in the promethium refinery but she didn't seem disgusted at all. And i imagine a refinery would use different chemicals, so strong or awful smells are possible. She liked the smells of Eden outside instead. That could be also a line of investigation ?

As Clay investigated, Ninety-Nine pinched a string of hair and sniffed its length. She smelled thin mix of human and brood-kin. Pangea shrugged and flicked the hair away. Clay slid the vials into a metal case. Clay and Ninety-Nine exited the folding screen.

“Quite grisly, how come no one heard or saw this happen?” Clay said.

“The guests reported that they heard nothing.” Madam Kardashian said.

“You can’t be serious.”

“Our guests are in a very… relaxed state. If they heard something most likely they would not assume it would be murder.” Madam Kardashian said. “If you have any other question, I will answer but I must go.”

“Notify the guards that I will be arriving to the prison shortly.”

“I will notify them now.”

Ninety-Nine sniffed the woman’s scent. Her nose rankled, she smelled so strong of sweetness and medicine. Such unnatural scent bothered Ninety-Nine’s senses. Why couldn’t people be happy with their own natural scent?

Ninety-Nine followed once again, but her gazes always wandered everywhere. So many fat men and women roamed like free snacks, except they weren’t. Through the iron metal gate, Ninety-Nine descended into a stone wall basement. The guards opened the sliding door of the prison and escorted the retinue. They arrived at the door at the end of the hall.

“Ninety-Nine, with me. You may go guards.”

The guards saluted and left. The prisoners laid on the damp stone floor where their wrists and ankles were cuffed. Their bleary eyes looked up.

“We won’t talk, you can deprive of us with water and food but you won’t break us.” One of the prisoners said.

Clay chuckled.

“Oh you filthy traitor… I assure you I will do much worse. Either you all die here painfully and slowly, or you’ll tell me what I want.”

“Just try it!” Another servant shouted.

Ninety-Nine did not smell any scent of the brood like the jam scene. Ninety-Nine thought about telling him that they did not smell like the brood at all and since that’s what they were here for they should just look at the free biomass instead.

I think I understand what's going on here. Ninety-Nine is more perceptive than we give her credit for. The planet is being used by the Genestealer Cult to fatten up visitors for shipping out to a hive fleet as a sustained biomass supply. As this is only a meager supply of biomass, it must be a splinter or minor fleet. Kardashian is a Magus and the prisoners are humans that figured out what's going on, and are under the impression that Clay is under her influence.

Ninety-Nine raised her gloved hand to get Clay's permission to speak, just like Hive Father taught her to. She waited, and waited… Ninety-Nine watched the finger nails and fingertips scatter across the stone floor. Emperor… she had to hold herself back to not nibble on the snacks. They were shaped like a snack and smelled like a snack, yet she held her appetite back.

“We…” The prisoner wheezed. “We just wanted a better life. I don’t know anything about a xenos.”

“Stubborn man.” Clay turned around and finally saw the raised hand. “Speak, Ninety-Nine.”

“They don’t smell like the brood.” Ninety-Nine said.

“What?”

“They don’t smell like the brood kin.” Ninety-Nine said.

“Your analysis is noted, Ninety-Nine.” Clay said. “Then let’s see the body.”

The victim’s stomach caved open, flesh torn to shreds by jagged edges, most likely a claw. Ninety-Nine smelled the man, clearly, the biomass has eaten lots of good food and drank a sweet smelling water.

“Ninety-Nine?” Clay said.

She shook her head. “Not brood kin.”

“Hmm…”

Clay investigated the cadaver and collected the samples.

“Ninety-Nine. How did Kardashian smell?”

“Unnatural. She smell awful.”

“How so?”

“Her natural smell is not there but a nasty one, it’s really thick.”

Perfumes. Hm. Clay paused to think of his next action.

So, I recently spoke to Undersecretary QM. Are there any interests regarding this qst?

Clay Redcliff was not an idiot.

He may be a womanizer, but never an idiot.

He heard the whispers in the Watch Fortress. Ninety-Nine, the abomination, the reject, the weapon. The astartes either did not know or did not care that Ninety-Nine’s existence was approved by The Lord Commander and The High Lords of Terra… even that little brat took a part in it too.

“Kill-Team, investigate the lower levels if you please.”

The astartes nodded.

“Ninety-Nine, with me.”

The Madam’s office glistened, smelled awful to Ninety-Nine’s senses. Everything about the Madam was so unnatural. Fake flesh. Fake smell. Fake face… Ninety-Nine could not tell what the woman was made out of or if she was a woman at all.

“How may I help you, Interrogator?”

“It seems like the prisoners you have are not what I have been seeking. I will soon make deeper investigations, but since you are in a position where you deal with the leeches of the Imperium, I am here to warn you, that is all.”

Kardashian did not change a single expression.

“I see, thank you for letting me know.”

“Before I go, I will need all access code and master key.” Clay said.

“I beg your pardon, but that means—”

Clay leaned forward. “Madam, that was not a request. Please do not make this unpleasant for the both of us.”

Ninety-Nine eyed the woman-thing as she left. Their eyes met briefly. Once away from the office, Clay returned to the thunderhawk and closed the hatch.

“Ninety-Nine, what did you think about the woman?”

“She smells bad.”

Clay noted himself to teach Ninety-Nine more words.

“How does she smell bad?”

“She smells not real. Like… not like you or the brood. She smells fake and bad.”

Clay nodded. Fake, bad, he did see the rejuvenation signs underneath Kardashian and she has been the “madam” for three centuries. Plus, the heavy makeup, the perfume, the layers of effort to keep herself look youthful was both sad and pathetic. Clay tapped on the hard metal seat as he thought to himself.

“Did she smell like your… kin?”

Ninety-Nine shook her head. “No.”

“What about those prisoners?”

“Nuh uh. A lot of fake smell, too much of it.”

“I understand, then we must continue our investigation.”

The serfs lived in the village below the mountains, a couple or so thousand that lived here supported the castle above. These villages and castles were scattered across the planet to make the feel like an exclusive trip to the nobles, a sense of seclusion with decadence. The people of the village huddled in their homes once Clay arrived, but Kill-Team Omen was nowhere to be seen.

“This is Clay, Omen, do you have any updates on your investigations?”

“We do. A genestealer base has been found outside the village nineteen klick west.” Obediah said. “They have been eliminated but we have found food stocks of manufactorum origins.”

“The food and the crates smells like the village, they’re aiding the xenos.” Tyr added.

“Understood, return to my position.”

An old woman and a old man dressed in work clothes approached. Ninety-Nine smelled sickness from the old couple, rather, she smelled it all around. No one was healthy or in condition to be a good bio-mass due to the lack of mass.

“You must be the villager’s elders. Do you know who I am?”

“W—We do, my lord.”

“Good. Your village is found guilty of aiding the xenos.

“Bring me to your church.”

The elderly couple led them to an old wooden structure. Inside, Ninety-Nine saw the statue of The Emperor, but something smelled familiar.

“Ninety-Nine, what is it?”

“I think there’s something over there.” Ninety-Nine pointed at the door. “There’s something that smells familiar.”

“Familiar?” Clay unholstered his bolt pistol and drew his power sword. “Go in there and see.”

Ninety-Nine opened the door and descended into the basement. Her dark vision allowed her to see huddled up children in the corner. They were bald with webbed fingers and spotty skin, some had sharp fangs while another had a wing. Ninety-Nine cocked her head, they smelled similar to her, the odd mixture of human and brood. She thought she was the only one with that kind of scent.

Ninety-Nine approached closer. Their face, eyes, and nose seemed so familiar to her own face. Except they had no exoskeleton like her and their pink flesh were oddly developed. She didn’t know there were broods that were like her.

“You look like me…” Ninety-Nine said. “You can’t be bad if you look like me.”
She now realized their distinct scent, brood kin with half of human. A familiar scent that she could get used to. Ninety-Nine removed her helmet. The children’s eyes widened when they saw her face.

“See. I’m you.” Ninety-Nine said. “Don’t be afra—”

Three bolt blasts rang. The faces of the children froze in horror as the bolts punched their chests and heads in. Ninety-Nine saw the dead bodies lying still. A raw feeling tugged at her mind. That very thought ended when Clay picked up the helmet and quickly put it over her head.

“There you are. I don’t know what you were doing but we need to move now that it is confirmed.”

“You killed them… they didn’t do anything.”

“Ninety-Nine… they could have hurt you. I want to guess they smelled like you?” Clay said.

She nodded.

“That’s how they get you.”

“Really?”

“Really. I worked with your Hive-Father, trust me. They are not like you, they are enemies of The Emperor. And what do you do with the enemies of The Emperor?” Clay said.

Ninety-Nine raised her fist. “Death!”

“Correct. Now let us make The Emperor and the Hive-Father proud.” Clay touched his vox-link. “Kill-Team Omen. We have confirmed the village is part of the genestealer cult. Begin the purge.”

Clay smiled. Soon, Ninety-Nine heard all manners of sound. Bolt guns, plasma, screaming, great cracks and splits, the symphony of destruction muffled at the basement. As NInety-Nine climbed up, the sound grew louder. Screams were no longer screams, but cries for mercy. Once outside the church, she saw the astartes destroy the village with hateful fury.

“You have made The Emperor happy, so you should be happy.” Clay said.

“But… I don’t feel happy.”

The creature has a conscious, Clay held back an amused chuckle. Clay watched Tyr smash a genestealer cultist with his power ax. If being honest, the trip to Eve was a nice vacation compared to his usual work. All made easier with Ninety-Nine’s help. A shrill cry suddenly shrieked. From the surrounding forests more genestealers arrived, first generation from look of it. Clay activated his power sword.

“To battle, for The Emperor!”

Ninety-Nine observed the group. Some charged with melee weapons, some using their own white bone guns. Then there were a few big brood-kins charging. Ninety-Nine first used her hive-mind, but only few were able to be controlled. The battle interrupted her concentration, and the brood-kins under control went back to fighting her and Clay. Ninety-Nine…

Roll strength

Difficulty: 16
Amount of rolls: 3
Dice: D20
Modifier: Strength + Agility (4 + 2)

Penance Token: 0

Reason: Surrounded by many enemies, Ninety-Nine can easily crush and rend her enemies but to protect Clay she also has to take some damage.

Success: Clay will be impressed with how much damage she can do. This may lead to even talking about her with other fellow Interrogators. Tyr will also be impressed.

Failure: Clay will be fine, he has his rosette and this is not his first time being in a thick battle. His opinion of Ninety-Nine will be the same: A weapon and nothing else.

Ninety-Nine places the Inquisitors and space marines in high regard, and Clay is the first to not hold her further than an arm's length, so she cares about what may happen to him. Genestealers can give even terminators a run for their money in groups, making it imperative that she looks after her battle masters.

Clay had to admit. This thing—girl, proved a better fighter than he thought. On more than one occasion, Ninety-Nine used her body to shield him from the acid spray from the biogun. Her armor soon melted away but her body remained spotless. It was as if they were using water guns.

“Die traitor!”

Swords and mallets broke against her hard body. Conventional firearms bounced against her skin. Any damage she took, she gave back ten fold. Her claws mangled and tore the flesh by the handful, ripping the meat like a lightning claw. Despite her small size, her claws mangled any genestealer cults that came near. The sharp hook shaped talons scooped the chunks of flesh off, her fangs tore apart limbs with ease, and her tail?

“Behind you!”

The tail whipped, crushing the attacker’s skull with a familiar wet crunch before the marauder got close to him. Clay did not know why Ninety-Nine stayed so close to him, but he welcomed her presence. That little talon was a whirlwind of carnage.

Little Talon.

That fitted her rather well.

From the forest, a shriek echoed. More cultists arrived. With his trained eyes, he saw the specialized genestealers. Among them was a hulking mass of mishapen muscle and chithin, an abominant and its master, a blue impling known as a mindwyrm, a foul creature that guide the abominant on what to attack.

“Ninety-Nine kill the big one!”

Ninety-Nine found the target.

Grab it by the legs and use its body as a mace against the abominant, kek.

It would probably take, at least, Astartes grade weapons to penetrate her shell. Shit, her disguise must be in tatters.

Reason: This is a battlefield, and targeting a small mindwyrm while being attacked by a abominant will take significant agility to do so.

Ninety-Nine dodged a swipe. Jumped over a rock. She coiled her legs and launched herself. The distracted mindwyrm saw Ninety-Nine too late. Her gaping maw caught the squealing mindwyrm. Ninety-Nine stood on all four, finding herself comfortable as walking with two legs. While locking eyes with the abominant, Ninety-Nine slowly crushed the minwyrm. She heart a wet pop as he jaws crushed the mindwyrm. The blue blood oozed, dripping off of her chin.

The abominant roared.

The ground shook as the abominant swung its giant club mindlessly, hitting the unfortunate cultists who got in the way. Ninety-Nine quickly chewed and swallowed the mindwyrm then dodged the asily telegraphed attacks. The mindwyrm she held in her jaws reduced into squelchy chunks of flesh. She jumped left. She jumped right. As the abominant raised its club, Ninety-Nine lunged at its knee and swiped.

The claws stripped the hardened flesh, exposing the milky knee cartilage. The abominant let out a low pitched whine as it fell to its knee. In a last ditch attempt. The abominant abandoned his weapon and launched his fist.

Snap!

The fingers of the abominant crashed against Ninety-Nine. The abominant whimpered.

This implies that Ninety-Nine's exoskeleton might be more durable and solid than even ceramite. Perhaps it'll be on par with terminators or even auramite when she reaches maturity.

The cultists swarmed more and more, swallowing up the village. The cultists soon climbed on the astartes, clawing and biting as the xeno wave rose. Then, a roar, a declaration of a change of tide. The cultists by the numbers flung as the abominant attacked in a mouth frothing frenzy. Clay watch in disbelief, the abominant acted on its own as Ninety-Nine fought. She had given a command, like a Hive-Mind.

“Emperor’s light…” Clay muttered as he cut another cultist.

The mindwyrm worked like a hive-mind, giving command then guiding the abominant. Ninety-Nine somehow understood how it worked, and gave her command through her own hive-mind wavelength. The abominant ran rampant. Even Tyr paused for a millisecond to watch. As the herd thinned, the other half turned. The cultists began to kill one another. One with a zealous fervor and another under Ninety-Nine’s control.

“For The Emperoror!” Ninety-Nine bellowed.

Clay’s noticed the ground’s gradual dampness. The dirt brown floor darkened. Emperor’s mercy, seeing Ninety-Nine’s sudden turn of tide was amusing, perhaps a tiny bit inspiring. Then again, no one could ever beat Celestine’s rousing battle hymn or The Primarch’s speech in Terra which he witnessed both in person.

The battle ended. Standing in the corpses of the dead cultistst, Clay knew there were much more to find. The patriarch is yet to be dead, and that was the only true way to root out the cultists. Frankly, he’d preferred to let this decadent planet fall until the patriarch made himself known. If only she could absorb their memories… Clay shook his head, he should be grateful for making this much progress so quickly.

“Ninety-Nine!”

“Here!” Ninety-Nine raised her hand.

“Can you…” Clay licked his lips. “Can you ask the thing where the patriarch, the leader is?”

Ninety-Nine nodded, then gazed at the abominant who stared back. The astartes waited in silence.

“I got it!” Ninety-Nine said.

“What did he say?” Clay said.

“He said that he doesn’t know.” Ninety-Nine said proudly.

Tyr barked out a laugh as Clay’s shoulder slumped. No work for The Emperor was ever easy, but never unworthy.

>This would have to be done the laborious way. Visiting each and every village.
Request records and documents with information about the sewer system and transportation that connects to the village and the surrounding urban areas. Consult Mawsl and Tyr if there are any leads in the wilderness. I would avoid risking her getting mind controlled by the Patriarch.

>Do you guys only want tyranid action or others?
Seeing her fumble up an Ork Waagh hierarchy into a Warboss or being "borrowed" by the Eldar for their own agendas would be fun.

>Do you want more game mechanics or more story telling?
I think we have a nice balance, personally.

Others is fine. I wouldn't be surprised if Fabius Bile shows up at some point to try and drag her into his lab. And doing a stealth mission against the tau could play out like a horror movie. Nines is the horror, obviously.

>Do you want more game mechanics or more story telling?
It's been pretty good as is so far.

Question:
>Do you guys only want tyranid action or others?

Even though Ninety-Nine was clearly made to counter Tyranids, I wouldn't mind seeing her have run into other races of the galaxy.

>Do you want more game mechanics or more story telling?

The balance between the two has been pretty good so far. I like that there's a chance of failure.

>Also, what kind of romance do you see Ninety-Nine having as she grows up and matures?

I'd like to submit my suggestion to the council.
Ninety-Nine becomes friends with another experiment. An Ork Girl hybrid who was meant to affect and alter the Ork WAAAAGH!!! but didn't quite work out. She was kept around anyway. Ninety-Nine bonds with the Ork Girl and their friendship blossoms into a lesbian romance as they grow up together and serve Hive-Father and/or Mom/Dad-Boss?

>By searching through the information taken so far and by looking at both Eden geography and rumors of the people and visiting nobility of this paradise world. Exclude the most unlikely locations, and reduce it to the ones that seem more likely out the many. Since Eden is a paradise world, multiple estates, villas and palaces should be present across it. If one of this is ruined and abandoned, it could be a good place to start.

And since Clay is an interrogator, he should start using some of his rank powers. Not too much, since this is a minefield of imperial politics with multiple noble houses taking vacations here, but enough to send a message to collaborate or stay out of the way at least.


>Do you guys only want tyranid action or others?
Ninety-Nine was made for be a weapon against tyranids. But, the Imperium has other enemies. Sooner or later battles against them might happen for Ninety-Nine. Its inevitable, even with extreme secrecy.

>Do you want more game mechanics or more story telling?
much like the others the current mix is fine for me

>Also, what kind of romance do you see Ninety-Nine having as she grows up and matures?
.....it will end in tears. Kryptman doesn't seem ecstatic in her existence, so i reckon the process he took for finally create her out of a long list of failed experiments was not a great experience. The inquisitor could probably fill a graveyard, since he arrived at the 99 iteration of this experimental weapon.

Probably the first retard that will flash her a smile and be genuinely kind (he doesn't know what she is !), and create a good social relation first.

Way too early to tell right now. Right now our monster girl has all the emotional maturity of an eight year old and I have no idea what sort of probably spectacularly screwed up monster woman she'll grow up into, as well as depending on where she is on the mutant scale that hasn't been elaborated on in detail thus far. I have no idea where she'll go and who she'll meet over the years but I suspect that, as affection-starved as she is, she'd latch onto the first person to show her genuine positive attention, possibly quite unhealthily and heretically.

I'm inclined to agree with these comments in regards to romance in the quest. She'll have an inclination to more competent types, but she'll latch onto anyone among them that isn't cold and distant like Kryptman, doesn't babysit her like the Astartes, and doesn't treat her like a sidekick like Clay eventually will. The only suitors I can think of are a particularly eccentric Rogue Trader with looks to spare, or a womanizing Necron Lord with the same kind of insanity as Zahndrekh. I can see her adapting an assertive, no-nonsense, and analytical demeanor as she matures and becomes an enforcer of sorts for the Ordo Xenos. This will largely be a consequence of her duties and how humanity will perceive her, but will double when she sets her sights on any man to get a better read of him without spilling her guts all over the place. Deep down, however, she will hold intense warmth, vulnerability, and loyalty toward her "hive family" and anyone under her protection. She's likely beginning to perceive Clay as a big brother as it is.

Probably some mid-low ranked Guardsman or Stormtrooper. Maybe some other mid-ranked functionary. Considering that they're regular people a lot of them can overlook abhumanity if it's minor or the abhuman in question is sufficiently loyal to the Emperor and has fought alongside them. Considering that 99 is intelligent, has an odd-looking but overall human face, and is both fighty AND incredibly, enduringly loyal, I can see some of the more open-minded people in the Imperium who interact with her getting along.
>>
>>6116120
>Considering that 99 is intelligent
Are you sure about that? We did choose the special needs build.
The issue is also around actually meeting people and making friends. 99 is likely to spend a lot of time flying around and on the move to where she's being sent this time, which doesn't help forming bonds with anyone not in her entourage. If there's even much in the way of "normal people" around and they're even allowed to make friends with her or more, that is.
>>
>>6116129
Compared to an Ogryn? Yes, yes she is. She can put together full sentences, make progress on puzzles, and is currently only 8. I'd give her an IQ somewhere between 65 and 80, with 100 being an average modern human adult's intelligence being 100 and for 40k that probably being somewhere around 90.
>>
>>6116120
You're forgetting that she's a hybrid with the DNA from one the Imperium's biggest threats. On top of that, she will be at least as tall as a terminator standing upright when fully matured, get stuck in the average single door, require clothes tailored specifically to fit in gaps in her exoskeleton or fit over loosely, have the appetite of a mole, be under constant surveillance by the Inquisition, be a pariah in the eyes of most Imperial citizens, among countless other factors. Having a relationship with someone like her would be a struggle that even she would recognize and be embarrassed of. I find it hard to believe that even the most tolerant in the Imperium would allow for anything more intimate than hugs out of fear of creating more mutants alone.
>>
>>6116141
Let me put it like this: If Genestealer cults can form, then 99 can find love. Now, if that love will be ALLOWED is a different story entirely.
>>
>>6116131
Compared to Ogryn, all but the most retarded of people would look smart. By human standards, she's well on the simple side.
Do we actually know how old she is? I know it's been a vague few years.

I did have a look back at descriptions given and she seems to be more on the monster than girl side. It would take a rather adventurous individual to contemplate than and go "would", especially given how large she might eventually get. Though making some adorable genegineered abomination whelps of our own that will go on to do their own heroics does sound like a happy ending. Though this is 40K and happy endings are rarer than they are in Russia.
>>
>>6116143
Genestealers typically have to hypnotize people into multiplying the cult, or have 5th generations disguise to mingle with the rest of the population.

>>6116144
I have to agree with >>6116131. She's already more intelligent than most Imperials her age. With consistent education that the Inquisition will provide her, she should be considered intelligent by the time she's an adult.
>>
>>6116146
>she should be considered intelligent by the time she's an adult.
I mean highly intelligent.
>>
>>6116146
We don't know her physical age so that's difficult to determine, we don't know how much she was grown in a tank or had her development accelerated and it's difficult to separate being a child from being dumb.
Then again, it's not explained what the baseline for the INT stat is. I was taking 5/10 to be "average", but it may mean "average *adult* human" or just be an arbitrary number where average is <5.

>>6116129
For someone who's likely not even in their teens, they aren't that stupid. Especially when you consider this is the Imperium and education quality varies dramatically depending on one's status and the planet they are stuck on. I do agree a big issue of a long term relationship, friend or otherwise, is the distance and time apart though.

Each and every village. Clay and his retinue culled the cultists hiding while Ninety-Nine remained undetected with her new disguise, which fell apart after every battle. After the nineteenth village was purged, the cultists no longer ambushed but hid. On one thought, Clay was rather happy that the foul cultists learned to fear them, on the other hand, they were now harder to find.

“Hmm…” Clay hummed.

Three days passed. In another village, Ninety-Nine followed Clay and her battle-masters. The villagers stayed in their homes. At the village square, no ambushes sprung.

“Village Seventeen.” Clay held his vox-caster. “I am Interrogator Clay Morghan of The Inquisition Ordo Xenos. Each every villagers will come outside and submit to a gene scan.”

The village was quiet, just like the previous village. Clay shrugged then watched his chronometer.

“Hm… there should be some kind of ambush by now. Hold on. Kill-Team, search for a life sign.”

Thirty minutes later, Mawsl and Altai returned.

“No life signs n the north but I can track them.” Altai said.

“None in South.” Mawsl said rasply.

“Same for East, those damned abominations but they have been here, their scent is still fresh.” Tyr growled. “We should still raze this village before we move on.”

“West is also empty.” Obediah said.

Clay tapped his chin, the genestealer cult has chosen the painful path.

“They are consolidating power in a hidden location.” Clay sighed. “Emperor, this will take months. Obediah, you will accompany me.”

“Tyr, take Ninety-Nine to follow the scent.”

Tye nodded. “Aye. I’ll take the little thing.”

The forest rustled, echoing with Tyr’s heavy ceramite footsteps. Ninety-Nine observed his white skin, the red flowing hair, and the fangs hidden behind his lips. His nostrils flared with each inhale.

“What got you curious lass?” Tyr said.

“You have fangs, like me!”

Ninety-Nine smiled. The rows of jagged fangs gleamed like dangerous blades. Tyr snarled at the horrid sight for a moment, but held it back, after all, this was his ally. But the thought of comparing herself to him, an astartes, the proud son of Leman Russ the Wolf King? It disgusted him through and through. Ninety-Nine shrunk back, her hands folded together.

“Did I do something wrong?”

“Just. Follow.”

Ninety-Nine obeyed. She looked down on the ground and sniffed, never daring to look at the battle-master until she had to. This actually reminded her when she first called Hive-Father, Hive-Father. The brief flash of furious grimace. The look of absolute horror on his helpers. But if she could fight, make Hive-Father happy, then one day she would be loved back.

Ninety-Nine caught a scent. Her small nostrils sniffed. The smell of her kin. Her tail swayed slowly. Her tail and mood would always be uplifted surrounded by her kin for no reasons. Ninety-Nine pushed down her feeling.

“Battle-master. They’re over there.”

“You found them?”

She nodded and pointed.

“Bring me to them.”

Ninety-Nine and Tyr traversed through the forest. The vast greeneries and scents. Odd furry creatures scurried. Their whiskers twitched. Ninety-Nine only caught a glimpse as Tyr’s footsteps scared the creatures away, it had to be, it couldn’t be her.

“Stop.”

Tyr marked the location on the data-slate.

“We are returning to the castle. The Interrogator calls.”

Inside his room provided by Madam Kardashian, Clay read over his findings. Ninety-Nine chewed on hardened jerky while laying on the floor. So many villages turned upside down and so many cultists dead. Yet he frowned as the patriarch had yet to be found. At this rate, he thought about borrowing the stormtroopers in a massive invasion. For now, Mawsl would watch the marked location and investigate further. Once the patriarch of the magus is found, the kill-team would strike. Until then…

“Ninety-Nine, stop gnawing loudly.”

He would have to wait.

“Mmkay” Ninety-Nine said.

The gnawing quieted for a moment, but continued a minute later. Clay shook his head and returned to his business. Clay sighed.

>>6117586
I guess not. The Eldar don't have as much love as they probably need right now.
>>6117612
I mean, the Eldar are fairly strong. The average Eldar is better than the average Human in every single way. The main things holding them back are their lower population and their inability to acess their full psykic potential because Slaanesh is constantly thirsting for them. And a lot of their best tech is dependent on those higher psyker levels.
>>
>>6117612
They're an ancient race but lorewise the craftworlds regressed slightly technologically iirc. They're still really fucking strong and way ahead of everybody else in psychic technology.

If you want a baseline, I think Aspect Warriors are supposed to be almost 1:1 with Space Marines

>>6117620
Well damn, I'll look into that. I'm just trying to look for the latest eldar lore.

The Eldar are a race in decline and victims of their own hubris, but are still very strong. Buffing them wouldn't be necessary.

[REDACTED], Archmagos Belisarius Cawl

Genetors.

While most priesthood did not consider the study of life important as the ways of the Omnissiah, Belisarius Cawl knew their importance. Each discipline, no matter how small played a role in the quest for knowledge.

“Archmagos. This unit arrives with a message from Mai”

Cawl turned his head to the voice. The laboratory crackled with blue light, gears wailed as it turned. The dimly lit room blanketed the laboratory with shadows.

“Speak.”

The skiitari stood at ease.

“Hull NX-9 and Sector 1-5 of Warp Engine Gladius are operating at optimal level. The corpses of the bioform-t have been preserved.”

“Bring the bioforms to my laboratory.”

The servitors and skiitari moved crates to various corners. In the wide open space, the skiitaris pushed a tank containing tyranid-like creatures submerged in dark blue syrup. The dead creatures landed on the cold steel dissection table with a wet slap.

“Interesting…”

The create bared so many similarities with the tyranid, save for the taint of Chaos permeating deep within its red flesh. It reeked of that fool, Fabius Bile.

A patriarch was found.

The reports from Altai, Tyr and Mawsl triangulated their village hidden deep within the untamed mountains. A hidden village… Clay scrolled through the various images. The homes were built from various scrap metal and wood, even some huts created from straws. The cult’s living situation was a smashed combination of scavenged materials and natural resources. Clay’s face scrunched as he watched the recordings.

“Let us pray, to The Four Armed Emperor…”

These filthy savage xenos, they dared to profane The Emperor as some bug god. Clay held back his strength, data-slates were expensive after all. Ninety-Nine rolled on the floor in her blanket, as much as she wanted to go up the bed she was forbidden to.

“Ninety-Nine.”

Her head shot up, covered by the blanket she rolled around in.

“Get your armor on. We have a mission.”

Ninety-Nine and Kill-Team Omen climbed through the mountainous paths. Ninety-Nine smelled her kins once more. From the high tree top, Clay adjusted the focus of his binoculars.

“It would makes sense to be more defended… given how much purging has happened.” Clay muttered to himself.

Clay climbed down the tree.

Ninety-Nine was not sure what was happening.

“She is our answer to the demons!”

“The messiah!”

“The Herald of The Four Armed Emperor!"

Everyone called her many nice thing. Gave her delicious food. Most importantly, they embraced her. She quite like that. Ninety-Nine sat in the center of a wide table, gobbling up various food and snacks sneaked out of the castle. The man that everyone followed began to speak a long speech about things she did not quite understand or gasp, long words and weird talk of stars confused her.

"I have a question Pat Treearc."

"Yes, Herald?"

"The Emperor doesn't have four arms or eat stars."

The people gasped.

"My herald, that is because you were told the wrong things. They lied to you."

Ninety-Nine didn't like hearing that The Chaplain was a liar, nor did she like hearing the wrong version of The Emperor. What Pat Treearc described was not the Emperor.

But food!

Sitting on a handwoven mat on the grass floor, Ninety-Nine munched on the various fruits with unstoppable hunger. She saw a small fledgling watching behind their parents. The parents gently nudged their fledglings. They shyly approach, their black eyes blinking one by one, they offer her a bowl of sweet woodbarks.

“And now… we offer you the best feast there is!”

The man named Pat Treearc, cut open a sack. A woman plopped out. Her Aquilan necklace dangled from her neck.

“Now feast, oh great one!”

Ninety-Nine saw the aquila. Should she really be eating this woman who clearly like the Emperor as she does? But these people like the Emperor too, even though they thought the Emperor with four arms sounded bizarre.

Ninety-Nine approached the woman. “Hello my name is Ninety-Nine, what’s your name?”

"M—Meri...da" The woman sobbed, lips quivering and smelling of fear. "Please don't eat me!"

Ninety-Nine cocked her head. She pointed at her necklace.


"How many arms does the Emperor have?"

The woman stared at her. "T—Two?"

Ninety-Nine liked Meridah already.

If she liked The Emperoror, especially the correct version she was not a bad woman, though there was one more question to ask.

"Do you like our version of The Emperor?"

"Y—Yes? I'm an Emperor fearing woman like all good women are."

>Ninety-Nine giggled. "Then why would I eat you silly?"
>It did not matter. Ninety-Nine observed the woman, her hunger for flesh gnawed at her instinct. Ninety-Nine’s fangs plunged into the woman. [Gained: Intelligence +1]

>>6118986
Looks very good, the tail is far more convincing.

If I'm allowed one nitpick though, the tail looks like its jutting out of her pelvis instead of being a continuation of her spine. I would have imagined 99 would struggle to keep an upright posture with a massive tail added into the mix. Maybe she would learn to keep her back straight and stop hunching as she grows up? Could be an interesting detail to keep track off.

Ninety-Nine giggled. "Then why would I eat you silly?"

“You… you won’t?” Merida said.

“Nope!” Ninety-Nine said. “You like The Emperor like I do. I don't know why you’re afraid of him but you’re not a bad person.”

“Herald, you must eat the woman. It is for you.” The patriarch said sweetly.

Ninety-Nine crossed her arms.

“No. I don’t wanna.”

Ninety-Nine patted Merida’s orange hair. She turned to see the patriarch, while tall, he did not match the height of a battle-master. She cocked her head, she saw his jaw open, his talons ready to strike. The way his four arms pulled back and his jaws open ajar, the patriarch’s tail slithered forward. The patriarch hissed, the rest of the people at the camp hissed in unison. Ninety-Nine turned around.

“Merida run away!

As she watch Merida ran, Ninety-Nine turned just in time to see the patriarch’s tail hurling towards her. Ninety-Nine managed to duck the first attack. However, half of the cultist chased Merida and the other half swarmed Ninety-Nine.

“Kill the false herald!”

Ninety-Nine easily hacked away the cultist’s soft flesh. Her hammer shaped tail caved skulls and snapped any limbs caught in the tail’s swinging rampage. The patriarch charged, he clasped his hands together and swung like a furious wrecking ball.

Reason: This is a patriarch, from my research patriarch is the top of the genestealer cult. Abominant is just muscles but patriarch is both times ten.
Success: Plus one to strength this is a high role and she will not suffer high damage, +1 to Strength
Failure: She will suffer -15 damage.

Alright, anons. Roll for strength. Emperor speed.

Question of the day
Do you guys want Lion Eljonson or some primarch return or keep this qst grounded to deathwatch and the daily missions. Can't think of an overarching plot.

>Question of the day
Since this is in the 40k era, we could have a modern character show up to introduce Ninety-nine to events outside of Deathwatch. Caiphas Cain is a good candidate.
>>
>>6119679
Not sure if Cain's still alive at this point. Depends on how far into M42 we are and his exact death date is not specific.
>>
>>6119680
Ciaphas Cain is indeed very dead. In fact he's a rare man who died of old age in the grim darkness of the future.

A life well lived

>>6119599
Escalate as required, I can't see Ninety-Nine being forever hidden or just doing small ops for all of her life. She's gonna get involved in big stuff eventually.
>>
>>6119599
>Question of the day
The Lion is sort of doing his own thing at this point of time.

>Can't think of an overarching plot.
I was under the impression that there was going to be a massive Tyranid threat someday or that Bile was planning another scheme of his.

>>6119611
Checked and based.

There was a 1/20 chance "way" it would happen.

>>6119681
How do you know he's definitely dead? He lived into early M42 and I have no idea of the current date in-quest (QM said "after Titus has left the Deathwatch", but there's a lot of Tituses put there and the description rings no bells) so if we're around the dawn of M42 ourselves it's up in the air.

Huh I thought he died earlier actually.

I liked the nat 20 too much, and I can surprise you guys! Not like there’s a strict rule in this game anyways.

Health: 50
Agility: 4/10, [+ 2]
Intelligence: 4/10 [+2]
Strength: 10/20 [+6]
Senses: 6/10 [+ 3]
Sneak: 4/10 [+ 2]

Ninety-Nine braced for impact. The spiky and large tail struck, smashing against Ninety-Nine’s exoskeleton. Ninety-Nine stumbled back but recovered her footing with ease as if someone gave her a hearty pat on the back. A wet snap cracked. The patriarch stumbled back as his tail throbbed with intense pain, he looked up at Ninety-Nine, eyes widened and tail slithering back with a whimper. The cultists and the patriarch backed away, hissing and clawing at the air as if it would damage her. Ninety-Nine snarled back and hoofed the floor.

“You know not what you are fighting, child.” The patriarch said.

“You’re a mean person, a hairy tick!”

“I am not hairy!”

Both charged. Ninety-Nine’s legs lowered then sprang at the last moment. The naked head of the patriarch smashed against Ninety-Nine’s thick plated head. The skull popped a wet crunch, he stumbled back as he cradled his head. The patriarch growled.

“Kill the false herald!”

The cultists hesitantly stepped forward hesitantly. Suddenly. The cultists turned around to attack the patriarch. Ninety-Nine jumped to the slaughter, she hurled herself into the patriarch’s legs and scooped out a chunk of flesh from his leg.

“Insolent child!”

The patriarch’s fist struck. Yet, Ninety-Nine stood stalwart.

“No you!”

Ninety-Nine mustered all her might to push against the fist. With one final heave, the fist and the patriarch stumbled back. The cultists dwindled quickly but still provided a distraction. Ninety-Nine felt her energy sap away slowly. She felt the difference in strength through her body.

>Ninety-Nine charged then slid between the patriarch’s leg. Her tiny talons hooked on to the patriarch’s flesh until she climbed on the patriarch’s head. Ninety-Nine leaned back and headbutted the patriarch again and again and again, until the patriarch crashed on the floor.

Dice: D20

Reason: The previous nat 20 will allow for one extra roll
Success: +1 Agility and +1 Strength (cause fuck it why not)
Failure: -20 health

>Ninety-Nine caught up to Merida and wrapped the woman in her tail. Ninety-Nine knew she could not stand up to the patriarch in a true single combat. She made for the maze of trees.

Difficulty: 6
Amount of rolls: 3
Dice: D10
Modifier: Intelligence + Sneak [+4]

Reason: The patriarch is damaged and distracted, making a run for it will not be hard.
Success: +1 Intelligence and +1 Sneak

>Ninety-Nine caught up to Merida and wrapped the woman in her tail. Ninety-Nine knew she could not stand up to the patriarch in a true single combat. She made for the maze of trees.
Simply because Merida would get chased down otherwise and we need the intelligence boost. Ninety-Nine isn't going to abandon the first woman she ever had a conversation. We have a 80% chance of passing this one in a single roll, anyway.
>>
>>6119873
>80%
Sorry, that would be 90%, as a roll of 2 would still pass. We would have to roll a 1 three times to fail, which is a 1 in 1000 chance.

>>6119863
alright, that explains it. the patriarch is damn strong if he can still cause trouble after that nat 20 and needing a slightly higher roll than we needed last turn

No way we can handle this full on.
