We can use the current one. I like the big trees and slightly smarter dorfs.

The spawn do reproduce on thier own.... Evidently "natural-born" spawn are called larva. And since thier leader is called a hive king I'd say it's suitably horrific for them to be some kind of horrifying bee-people or something.

Seeing that this is still going on, I, a lurker, would like to request a dorfing. Preferably into a doctor or a mechanic. Name: Tomio
If those aren't available, anything will do.

I agree with the spawnbaby, living inside the spawn dwarf... The baby has the mother's blood, and the mother's blood is infected with spawnbite, so the baby would have the same infection...

Spawn have their fronts ripped open like a maw with rows of teeth... so when the mouth opened, you'd be able to see the spawnbaby inside. And it would have a chestmouth, too... That's definitely nightmarefuel.

o.O And now the spawn can have giant Xenomorph mouths...

Welcome to the madness Tomio. You've been added to the awaiting dorfs list.

[Xahnel]

in other words, it's totally possible for the spawn to spawn, so to speak.

Spawn spawning spawn spawn... spawnerificus.

What in Armok's infinite beard have we unleashed?

[Draconik_Sankis]

I'm not Sure Talvi, the only thing i am sure of is we have just beaten Lovecraft as far as eldrich horrors go, the spawn can spawn on their own... I don't remember any lovecraftian beasts that do/did that, i now fear for my insanity, however i must countiue working on FS-1, knowing that its a spawn designed to be better than the HS verison of spawn...

Spearbreakers, we just went from having world wars for meals to making Cthulhu himself fearful.

and with that i think we have redefined epic once again now all we need is ThatAussieGuy over her and the Clown Car will be running away with the gobbos and elves to find safer lands (or at least saner)

@Talvi:

I don't think it's possible for a story to not have an ending, though... Eventually, the chain of events that a story's following concludes. If it doesn't, it starts to feel as though the story's just rambling on and isn't actually leading up to anything important, which kills interest for me.

...And I'll cut off there, because I've now had insomnia for two nights in a row and it took me thirty minutes just to squeeze that out of my brain :p

Oh, and if possible, as a title, given my job is either doctor or mechanic: Crazed Scientist, please.

Tomio's Journal:

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

This is a Leatherbound Journal. It is of mediocre to high quality. It menaces with spikes of... You can't seem to identify what it is. You hope you'll find out inside of the journal.

Hello journal!
My name is Urist, bu -A large blood smear covers the rest of the page, you can't make out the words.

21st of Hematite, journal of Tomio, the Great Inventor!
Seeing as the previous owner, a miner by the name of Urist, who was drafted into the militia when there was a siege decided that it was time to write in his journal while charging at a Bronze Colossus (Note, must get hold of one of these alive. They are particularly interesting!), I was assigned this journal by our manager, as I still needed one. Let's not talk about the previous one, it involves a lot of blood, some dead crocodiles, and some more stuff you really don't want to know about (Trust me on this one journal, please do.). Seeing as I'm going to be transferred to another fortress soon, which may or may not have something to do with a few of my... "Special" boars running rampant, I decided I should keep a lower profile next time. Or at least, a locked door. Anyway, back to my story. I'm currently headed for a new fort by the manager, and boy, was he furious! He told me there was no room there "for your crazy shenanigans!" and that I should go to another fortress. She put it more bluntly (let's just say the fortress now has a few less mugs and I have a new hammer...), but I'll not go into detail. Anyway, I love to experiment, mostly on animals of course, I wouldn't want to harm a dwarf... Although the do make quite a good test subject. But, I digress. I'm still on the way, and hopefully I'll not only make it there, but I sincerely hope there are other, more intelligent dwarves in this new fort called Spearbreakers than there were back in the Mountainhomes. They couldn't even appreciate a good experiment! Anyway, I did some research on the fort. Main export: Mugs. Mugs, mugs and more MUGS. General chaos level 10. General chaos level in the Mountainhomes, 1. The lower, the better, it was always assumed. Oh, and that's on a scale of 1 to 5. Well, at least there'll be enough chaos for me to ascertain I can work fairly undetected. I also heard about it's little... Spawn problem. They seem quite interesting, and I would give my entire right side to experiment on one... Although, not my right arm, I need that for... Let's just say I'm not married.
Anyway, journal, I've been writing a lot for now, you'll hear about me soon!
Tomio, G.I.

What do you think about my first Journal?

[Xahnel]

Mr Frog, i'm making an artistic surprise for you.

[Splint]

@ Tomio - Lovely journal there man. This for seems to attract various kinds of researchers like flies to shit. Plus since your dwarf seems to specialize in animal research he may be of some use to either Mr Frog or Draconik.

[Xahnel]

Mr frog, the art is done. There is twelve images. I will either upload them tomorrow, or if tavlieno or splint wants to help out, they could go up tonight.

Reudh, how many months were your last update up to?

[Reudh]

I'm up to late summer. 'fraid I don't get a lot of time to play.

[Splint]

Still pluggin' away and that's what matters.
