On another note, why did we kill one of the hybrids?

this.

[RAM]

Quite confused with new flowers... Did we hybridize 10 already farmed? Because we still have 19 dormant ones and no new room

As for ship.... I think queen should take a little lone walk, then start digging alone and visit the ship alone, with machine-gun just in case if bipeds are already here.   Our Queen is our best scout right now
But before she leaves,
a) Study genetics of Electro resistant Larva and consume it, trying to apply electric resistance to some unlaid eggs
b) Take L1  commander corpse from the stasis, consume it and try to speed up eggs development to get a commander(s) eggs much earlier
c) Eat enough synthetic food to become fully satiated

I am supporting this, but only for dramatic reasons...

It'll happen tonight, once all the lights are finished and some compounds are created.

Plants should read 18, sorry... I haven't counted the potential hybrid yet because I am not sure how it's going to turn out.

this.

The fungus was beginning to get out of control, and the Nurse took active steps to contain it. The other one is still healthy, though.

Can we see what the effects of eating cooked fungus are? Or is it a smoking pile of dust now...

The fungus is a pile of dust.

Also, the effects are fairly predictable:
a)Fungus and spores don't survive cooking: Minor nutrition
b)Fungus and/or spored do survive cooking: Infection.

Let's not risk that.

Or option C) Fungus is dead but neurotoxin and muscle-relaxant is still fresh: Chitter upside down in a corner for the next week and wake up with a headache and sporadic hallucinations!

I always regretted not getting into the previous one, so this is awesome.
+1 to keep monitoring the other hybrid, as with what ebbor freaked out about a few pages ago, it could go horribly wrong.
Uhh...

If it is damaged, repair the transmitter, if it is in proper working order, but still useless, scavenge the transmitter for parts.

+1, obviously have the Tech drones do this.

ptw

The ship has been found. That, and the venting of the inner-hive air is why the Hive went from Extremely Hard to Detect to Hard To Detect. Mostly the Ship being found, however.

[Ukrainian Ranger]

Pfff... And why we never blew the ship up? Greed created quite unpleasant problem here

I think the detonator malfunctioned?

[Ross Vernal]

Nobody ever said anything about blowing up the ship, so it never happened.

[Xantalos]

DAMMIT GUYS I THOUGHT YOU DID

Now we can't since they'd know even more that we're here.

Do we blow it up?

Send sneaky drones to blow up ship. Have tech drones make explosives for this purpose.

[Ukrainian Ranger]

Anyway, my alternative safe proposal :

1) Queen to study Electro resistant larvae and corpse of L1 commander, then consume both and try to pass both the resistance and improved intelligence to some of her eggs. If time is left aid the farm construction
2) Nurse - keep watching after the hybrid
3) Pollinators and tech drones - finish the new farm. Plant both the hybrid and 8 non hybrid flowers in it. We need to get surface resistant flowers able to grow without our aid, than we may spread them all over planet
4) Others mine more

After farms will be finished we'll need to work on weapons, we have enough soldiers, but no enough guns for them. But that can wait

As for sneaky drones... Problem is we have none, and I rather not visit the crash zone... It is most likely actively studied

Of cause we still can go Queen rampage route... (Queen + L2 soldier should be enough to kill whoever found the ship but that's quite risky even if it's VERY fun... )

[Noxes]

Oops XD, Oh well. I guess we should think about pulling the warriors out of storage then (if our food stores are sufficient). We should also have the Tech caste work towards manufacturing some weaponry for the soldiers (we have the rare elements needed for at least one type of solid state laser).

-1 to sneaking in to blow it up. Play it defensively for now as they don't know exactly where we are yet, so we still have time to become better prepared for a confrontation.

Speaking of playing it defensively; install seismic sensors under the ground of the area surrounding the Pit. Also have some of the T-drones start assembling defensive positions inside the entrance, such that we can make a stand in the event of 'visitors'. With the acquisition of Chromium salts we can make decent Steel finally, as well as some more interesting categories of electronics and alloys. Could we get one or two of the PD lasers installed to support said defensive positions perhaps?
