Do what they say, and dig a hole in the ground and hide. Snag any animal that comes nearby and eat them. Unless it's like a bear. Then acid.

I don't think a bit of acid will do that much damage to a bear.

i was actually waiting for someone to realize that you CAN SPAWN THINGS. >.> XD
took you quite a while too.
that's why mental stats start with 0.0001, because for each 0.0001 you get a spawn. so once you reach 1.0000 you have ten thousands and the like.
>.>

Get a little stronger and smarter. Keep digging around until we are far away, or find more stuff to eat, and consume.

-2 filaments=+0.0001 in mental and physical

Burn food for energy and filaments. 

you burn food and while you're at it you start thinking about a way to transform food in filaments...it could actually work, after all. you'd just need to rearrange and re-engineer a couple of filaments to do the job...why not?!
-30 food=+5 energy
-4 energy -4 filaments=Filaments assembler (rudimentary) every 30 food gives one filament

use a few filaments to get an organ able to lay eggs genetically engineered. Lay some eggs wich give ant-like creature programmed to follow you, protect you, obey every one of your orders without hesitation, and bring you food

you realize after seeing an ant nest, that you destroyed, and ant eggs, that you ate, and mole puppies, that you ate, that you could reengineer yourself to...procreate? why not! since matter however is not randomly generate but requires to give in order to take, you realize that to produce spawns you'll have to first reassemble yourself
-2 filaments -2 energy=egg sac (rudimentary) generate eggs, which need to be "fertilized" in order to produce hivespawn.
you start...burning more food.
-36 food=+6 energy
you lay a bunch of eggs...
-2 energy -1 filaments
and you fertilize them, too.
-1 filament
*a d12 is rolled in secret*
and then...you admire the eggs rupture, and 8 nice little mini-you emerge, crawling out and ready to obey your every orders and whims. they are smaller than you, and seem to lack many of the things you posses, but still, they are yours to command...this makes you feel...

CHOSING TIME:
angry= they are imperfect they should be like you
sad= they do not have your will or intelligence...saddening
happy= perfect little slaves!
sorrowful= what have i done...they should have had free will!
heartful=oh...my beautiful children! i love them so much.

the small ant-like creatures start working around, moving the ants corpse near you, and thus moving all the food you had to leave behind near you. and then, they start moving around the cavern, some even begin digging their ways out of the dirt and coming back with small patches of grass for you. their being small however means they'll have to do many trips to get you enough food. but they do their bestestestestest for their mommy.

Do what they say, and dig a hole in the ground and hide. Snag any animal that comes nearby and eat them. Unless it's like a bear. Then acid.

you dig upwards, but remain undercover, in wait for animals to pass upon you. Every now and then you hear big vibrations, but they are further away and extremely fast...you do not know, but it's the road that has been cleaned of the wreckage, and the cars are moving once more, since it's broad daylight right now.

Do what they say, and dig a hole in the ground and hide. Snag any animal that comes nearby and eat them. Unless it's like a bear. Then acid.

I don't think a bit of acid will do that much damage to a bear. 

actually no, but right now with the strength you have and the small size, you're like a facehugger who can cave his way inside any flesh. and if you attack and enter from the belly, you can pretty much take down everything. Obviously in a 1vs1 open confrontation the bear would still smash you to smitherin, but with surprise attack you're pretty much in for the one hit kill.

Spebd 6 filaments on mental stat.

-6 filaments = +0.0006 mental

Burn food for energy, think up at least 4 new powers.

Also :( at killing the nice mole puppies.

-4 energy= 1)moles have a paralyzing poison to keep preys still, you "tasted" it and your mouths went a little numb. You could rearrange yourself to have it.
2)when you attacked from down to up you actually flexed your legs to "jump" you could try and reinforce them for accurate high-jumps
3)eating the flesh would be easier with some sort of big pointy object to facilitate your entry in foreign bodies
4)the mole dug faster with strange pointy things at it's hands...claws might be possible, they'd certainly work better than pincers at digging.

Also, Remove our legs.  We can already create drones and workers and soldiers to protect us, what use is mobility?  Use the extra filaments from the legs to increase our size and powers.

Well this is awesome.  Your new emotion shall be Heartful.  Protect your children.

Have them gather food for you, so that you may grow, improve and create

Filaments for the filament god. 

your heart skips a beat as you watch your tiny little creatures go about. not that you have a heart, or veins with blood for what it matters. but in looking at them, you realize you need to protect them...your cells start rumbling with ways of doing so...and you jump in understandment of how to do so!
Heartful=you rearrange yourself free of charge and realize a sort of dense liquid pumping, which, once it gets out in the air, solidifies after a little, but maintains a pastous state. You naturally and freely trasude this substance, composed of all the discards of your internal processes, and you begin coating the ways of the lair with it. By doing so, your hivespawn and yourself may easily seep through it and disappear from enemy site, or cover yourself with it to enhance your natural rock-like armour.
you have actually obtained the Creep. (starcraft, anyone?)

your children go to their business, and start collecting food, and also spreading the...Creep, while at it. since it sticks to them and then melts after a little while. you realise you can easily move about on it, with little effort. it is slimy after all. like being on ice, not that you know what ice is.

convert enough food into energy to allow our armour to be stored as a liquid then solidified when needed, then do it
-72 food=+12 energy
-12 energy -12tendrils=complete body rock-like armour
you crumble upon yourself highly concentrating as sacs, nerves, micro organical tubes and pincers with acids are all connected to make space for armour-pumping you shiver, the work is extremely costing, since it guarantees complete coverture of the entirety of your body once finished, you screech at an high pitch frequence for a while, your hivespawn continuosly bringing you food.
when you finish, you look at the result. the rock-like armour can now seep through the created holes, or remove itself to grant you more speed...solidifying in the air.

Also, Remove our legs.  We can already create drones and workers and soldiers to protect us, what use is mobility?  Use the extra filaments from the legs to increase our size and powers. 

the leg filaments are already specialized, you come to understand that the only thing you can do with them is either atrophize them for mentality, or use them as nice decorations. and even if you do atrophize them, it would require time, more than usual. It's the problem of specializing things.

ps: you are not too heavy to move without legs, you did increase you basic strength.

We should give them all 1 physical filament

you realize that you can only change the next batch of eggs, not the already created one. Your children will have to do with the Creep. (or whatever you wish to call it)
your next children however will have 1 more physical filament...at the cost of one more food to fertilize them.

for the rest of the day your childrens bring you food that you eat nicely. each of them works relentlessly to provide you with food...which seems to be Grass, more than anything else.
+20 food +20 filaments
but one of them goes missing.
he does not report back after a while.
just...where did he end up?

Increase our physical by 0.0004 and mental by 0.0001

Create a new type of Hivespawn (Hivespawn3) with a physical of 0.001 and the ability to spit acid (to serve as nest guards)
Create a new type of Hivespawn (Hivespawn4) with a mental of 0.001 (to delegate command responsibility to them)
Create a new type of Hivespawn (Hivespawn5) which can pump liquid armour from a gland inside its body

Law 3 Hivespawn1 eggs
Lay 2 Hivespawn3 eggs
Lay 2 Hivespawn5 eggs
Lay 1 Hivespawn4 egg
The Hivespawn4 will command the Hivespawn1 as they gather food





chain of command up in this bitch

Are we like in a little hole in the ground, or something a bit bigger? Get the acid spitting guys to dig out a little more room. Maybe a 5th Hivespawn that'll use that liquid armor to reinforce the walls.

you increase in strength and mental...
-5 filaments=+0.0004 physical +0.0001 mental

and this makes you quite smarter and stronger now.
Are we like in a little hole in the ground, or something a bit bigger? Get the acid spitting guys to dig out a little more room. Maybe a 5th Hivespawn that'll use that liquid armor to reinforce the walls.

you are in a cozy hole you dug by yourself from which you can jump up to hit anything which decides to pass upon you, so yes, you're in broad-daylight. luckily you have a sort of camouflage to prevent someone from asking WHY IS THERE A FLESHY BOB ON THE GRASS. >.> luckily you don't look fleshy at all.

You realize you need more and better. and this is what you think about...

hivespawn5= (cost to create) 1 food 1 tendril
Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Hivespawn4= cost to create 6 energy 4 food 4 tendrils
Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Hivespawn3 = cost to create 9 food 6 tendrils
Spoiler (click to show/hide)

you begin to lay the batch of eggs
-2 energy -1 filament but realize only 4 eggs came out, and you want more
so you lay another batch, which gives you 6 eggs.
-2 energy -1 filament
oh well, 4 eggs will remain unfertilized and you store them in a corner, to keep them safe. you then proceed to fertilize the eggs as intended...
it will be quite a cost in resources however...a total of
-27 filaments -24 food -6 energy
since however you lack the necessary energy, you begin burning some food.
-36 food +6 energy
in the end, everything costed you
-27 filaments -60 food
and since you certainly don't want to be without energies, you burn some more food
-6 food +1 energy

the hivespawns come out of their eggs, some faster than others, one in particular comes out with a Meh. could be better arranged i suppose
you give it a sour look and send it to take over the hivespawn1 in gathering food. it comments with a meh, i'll only take ten. you keep one. in case you need to scratch your butt.
and she goes off with ten hivespawn1...you start to wonder why you thought "she" and not "he".

Command Chain:
Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Put down creep like a creeper creeping on some creep.

your two hivespawn5 begin chewing and spitting the creep all around the place. in the meantime they reinforce the earth all around the lair with the thickening armour. Everything is now a glistening ensemble of "creep"...still you wonder, where did that hivespawn 1 end up? he still hasn't reported back! you do start to get worried about him...he was one of your firstborn! he was your adorable little children.
