No metagaming? But... going off on some random tangent is what separates our forum from regular forums!

fix'd

Also, make a baby Primpsk and try to get it adopted by their society.  It can send anything it hears back to us, but it won't be expected to understand anything itself.  We can use its visual and audio information to decode the language quickly.

Upgrade all creatures that will be underground with Primpsk sight.

So my crundles are staying intact unless they're newly spawned... until they are exposed to anything that isn't at room temperature.  This mostly seems to mean blood, specifically, their own.  Then they go poof very quickly.

This!

In fact, make it have a brain that works exactly like a normal one, and have it not know that it is infected. Just pure pasive observation... and the fact that it's touch infiltrates people. infiltrated ones should also stop growing before they are noticed, becoming microscopic time bombs waiting for a command from afar.

We're a nigh-omnipotent hive mind that covers the wntire ocean floor. We have plenty of time.

If the tunnel is small enough, have schoolbus back into it, plugging it with his body, so that only the front of his armored head is exposed, have it hold the gap long enough for us to send reinforcements, have crabs jam themselves into the space between schoolbus and the walls, to help get him stuck.

LEFT TUNNEL: You make the Primpsk drones offer the fruit, along with saying a few words (More like grunts) from their genetic memory. Bizarrely, it actually works. Congratulations, you now have even more Primpsk drones at your disposal. (RANDOM.ORG likes you, this time...) Mind you, you have to slaughter the merchants and whatnot, so that they don't cause a fuss or anything.

Two more tunnels branch off from this cavern. One of them presumably leads to the same place as the central tunnel (Though it is hard to tell underground.)

CENTRAL TUNNEL: You tell the Schoolbus to block the tunnel until reinforcements arrive. You did send reinforcements, right? (Generic drones, or do you want to do something special?)

RIGHT TUNNEL: You seed the diggers to wall off the right tunnel. Now what?

ABOVEGROUND: You finally set off the blimps, to further infect the surface. Additionally, you create some baby Primpsks, to passively scout the uninfected Primpsks. Mind you, it would be best to find a place that wasn't being attacked by you.

DRONES:

Advanced Scuttler: Stong, armoured, built to kill. Has incredibly fast, shrimp claws.
Scuttler: Armoured. Good all around. Shoots poison.
Gatherer: Make to collect and process DNA.
Light-bulb drone: Gives off light. Fast, but otherwise useless.
Scuttler Tank: Highly armoured. Not very fast.
Schoolbus: Carries crabs. Gives of light. Very large and heavily armoured.
Digger: Digs. Builds walls. Otherwise useless.
Primpsk drone: A Primpsk you control.
Primpsk Scout: Passively infects and scouts.

A reptile walking on two legs with two arms. Possessing opposable digits and the poison we use already in the blood. You said we have gathered things with the spy network, and I was under the assumption that we had probably gathered a reptile of some sort, and I should've written more about it. I actually added some to it when I wrote it here, but the biped was the original idea.

Sorry, a better question would be why?

Take the Primpsk model then make it large. Modify the Tank Primpsk we just made so that it has an oil it excretes that has our mind-control poison in it. Send the Infector Tank caste to help the Schoolbus.

Learn language and culture and stuff from the people you just infected.

Make some high altitude, good eyesight bird-equivalents to scout everything everywhere.

Send babies to other colonies.

I somehow doubt that they'd want the bundles of joy Jethro has to offer.

You know, the easiest way to find other colonies would be to explore the other holes that we found in the ground. Mind you, that's just me.
