It's been days since that unexpected breakdown. Anna is currently drowning in her mind trying to find answers to the question.
Why did that happen.
"Alright, one more time. It seems I have a unnatural hate against Humans. Then it's the personal rage against Guilliman, who should not exist. But then the question is how do I exist? I'm the Tyranid Hive Mind, also a fictional character which I became.
So I think, if I am real what's to say Guilliman does not? Or the Emperor? Or the Warp? Arggh this is confusing! My memories are blurry! Why do I have memories like this!
I clearly remember that my World didn't have Warhammer 40k in it! So why, why do I know of this information!"
Anna is confused, frustrated and scared. She does not know what's going on with her. Her memories are blurred and shuffled, tangled in ways that make no since.
"There is only one possible answer. A three way fusion. Is seems that I Annabelle, fused with with the memories of Anna who has knowledge of fiction that does not exist in my World of Terra. Then there's the Tyranid Hive Mind. It must have been defeated by some miraculous way.
Either the Primarchs returned or the Emperor rose from the Throne. That's the only way to explain how the Hive Mind died. Unless the Imperium remade Phosphex which is unlikely.
Then I inherited it's powers and resentment."
Anna sighed, this is the only explanation she can give to herself. She can barely remember her life before her death. The three way fusion completely shattered the memory structure.
"If I keep this worrying up, I'll never find answers. I just need to forget about it now and do what I was supposed to do. Expand the Swarm and find some form of Civilization."
Anna then remembered the Lizard Man her Lictor killed in her rage.
She had orderd it to retrieve his body. Now it's time to see if that Lizard has any useful genes.
"Alright let's see, hmmm this guy closely resembles Humans. But I don't know the Human genetic template so all I can say is it's just resemblance and not close genetic match.
But copying those genes will not hurt. It actually is a good catch. I can now make Genestealers. I just need to make them look as mutch as a Lizard Man as possible. I doubt this world is a Hive World so no dark places to hide or excuse the hideous looks for mutations."
Anna then decoded the template for the scales and saw that the primordial gene of it is very powerful. She thought for a bit before deciding.
"I need more genetic material to fully decode it. Which means I need to find where the Lizard Man came from and dig up all their Biomass."
Once she fully gets that gene she can fuse it will all Bioforms and give a boost in defense. She hypotheses that those scales on her Tyranids will be able to stop standard issue munitions from Terra. And that's for low level Bioforms, because her Higher ones can already block most standard munitions. But AP or HE rounds is unlikely.
Except the Carnifex of course.
For her to be able to that she needs to find some gene that suits it. Or she finds a metal that can withstand them.
For that she needs to dig deep. If she finds some exotic metal even better.
What frustrated Anna is that she has yet to find any form of metal. The minerals within the soil and rocks are negligible. Mostly used to fuel the Hive Ship.
If she finds a deposit of rare earth metals she can use it to enhance her Hive.
But thanks to this Lizard Man the Swarm have a substitute for that. Their Scales.
Anna remembers the Crystal's that locked her up in that Underground Forest. Only way to break them now is for the Hive Ship to shoot it. But she can't use those Crystal's. Not only are they still unbreakable even if in smaller chunks. If they become too small it just disappears.
So she can rule out those Crystal's for any future Bioform enhancement.
"Alright no more self talk! Lictor follow the trail back to this Man's home. Once you do contact me. Everyone else resume to work. Ah yes, Norn Queen make some Mawcons and Trygons."
Mawcons and Trygons are Subterranean Tyranids, they dig tunnels to enemy encampments bypassing defenses and attacking from within. Trygons also take other Bioforms with them to attack the enemy.
But Anna has a different use for them. DIG!
She needs to find any mineral deposits. Be it Iron, Gold, Silver, Copper. What she hopes is to find Titanium. Maybe even some Radioactive Elements.
She needs Elements with larger Atomic Structures. They have more value. As most very high ones are Radioactive.
And she needs them to experiment. If she can make her Tyranids resistant to them then no longer needs to worry about any Nuclear Fallout. She can maybe even benefit from it.
Right now she needs to find that Lizard home or whatever it is. Be it a Town or Village she just need some more genetic material to fully decode it.
Soon she will no longer worry about modern firearms.
"Once the Lictor finds it I will map the location and send more Lictors to take out the strong ones among them and then the Swarm of Rippers will do the rest."
Anna retreated back to her mind space to clear her thoughts.
