Cooking with the Hive Mind

[Hive Bahamut]

Now I was going to put this in the narrative, but to be honest I am not sure what it is supposed to be. I can't seem to let go of there being something behind this idea.. A comic? A story? Maybe something animated?

Host: What a fun word to use.. A 3rd Generation Hybrid is the most perfect fit. We need to add that little baby T-rex arm for grimdark, which is so helpful in the kitchen. Imagine that gnarly little thing whipping up some batter tucked in?! Oh yeah it's gross, Hanson from Scary Movie 2 needs to be a template FOR SURE. Now their head.. We need a bald, rigid forehead that somehow always makes the chef look sort of frowny. This amuses the Cthulu squid, that we will get to later. Maybe a touch of Bionics, or rebreather.. Just so there can be some weird interaction, like opening a bottle with their eye, or adding a splash of "whatever it is" to the dish. Gender is irrelevant, but the voice does seem to have a more female tone to it. The chefs attire is fine, except it looks like it has never been taken off, let alone washed. It has not.


Temperment? I feel like there is only one easy answer again.. We have your generic cook, although periodically Gordon Ramsey shows up via Patriarchs Telepathy.. Oh my is it ever sad watching the Host Yell at themselves.. Then, somehow listen? Jekyll and Hyde cooking so to speak.

Cohost: Put a $@*#&@%^ chef's hat on that Familiar and I will laugh everytime.. ALTHOUGH this is where the demographic cute might kick in. Baby Cthulu squid that just sort of "cutes" is probably my favourite idea.

Location: Most rundown basic (please do not swear) kitchen ever. Everything is perfectly functional, but is campy low budget aesthetically. They are actually just in a shelled out ruin, where periodically someone will come to deliver something, or give a message etc. Expect odd campy Clamavus propaganda etc.

Appliances: Sweet #%^@ all. Mixer is just simply alien Genetics + stir etc. The stove is real, and seems to be the only thing that is arguably not damaged. It is clearly where the budget is. There is 0 safety equipment. Places for extinguishers might be present, but just as likely they were sprayed at a wall and discarded in view still, or it is where there is some remnants of an explosion and a sole massacred Hybrid. The Alien does not understand why we care, life is only to give.


THE MOST IMPORTANT PART... THE FOOD:

Tyranids eat everything. This does not ever need to be an edible dish, but can be. Hybrids don't care. ALL races included. I want to see Orkz instead of portabellas, Tau Maki rolls, BABY back Cadian Ribs, Kroot stuffed "turkey," and all sorts of messed up stuff. Also, there needs to be some randomly delicious stuff, like a rocks in the road eyes cream. The motto or catch phrase is: WE DO NOT DISCRIMINATE, WE SATIATE!

Here is the first draft of the kitchen (I don't draw)

[bigpig]

A kroot inside a gnarloc inside a great gnarloc is called a turkrooten.

[Hive Bahamut]

Oh Big Pig gets it. Yes! That is EXACTLY what I am after. The most insane recipes ever!

I have now shifted the host To being a "grannies cooking" as I feel that adds a whole other lair of twisted and deranged. Like periodically "we did it this way BEFORE the war," etc. Or she just straight guts something with her hands.

She will be "The Grand Matron" to the Unloved Ones, but her real reason for doing this all is Magic Mark.. Her son.

Poor Magic Mark.. (yes it is exactly that, Magic Mike + Aberrant) all he ever wanted was to be famous, and mother be damned if she doesn't try. He has a very extensive Resume, and the cooking show was initially to save up for the medicine, but since the new doctor has come in they have seen such postive results!

The ambience we are going for is Martha Stewart meets Granny Garbanzo (big comfy couch)

So far the other members are:
1. Carl the Cthulu squid. Mascot and Special ingredient! They may also be a snack klepto, and screech like a high-pitched dial up internet when upset. Their most important task is being grannys "hair" when officials come around though, and being cute.

2. Ripper: the garbage can is just a chained up Ripper hidden away ala Flinstones that granny got "from the war." It has no desire to leave as it slowly becomes a fat (please do not swear) worm.

3. Delivery gretchin (no name yet) who is basically "Panic" from Hercules. Pretty sure everything is trying to kill him. It is. Including Granny periodically.

4. Guest features, and guest stars. One is eaten, the other helps.

5. The window provides endless opportunity for stop by guests, or deliveries, or random Clamavus propaganda etc. (Again using big comfy couch, bedhead delivery BS, but also pulling from muppets etc.)

I will also add the 1st draft of Magic Marks face later. Oh my god.. Is he ever a beautiful boy.. That smile..

Here that is:

Grannie, Granny? Backstory:

Many Many years ago, when she was only known as Ma'am, Granny was just like any other hard working civilian. She had steady work, enjoyed the finer things in life, and had always dreamed of a family to call her own. Ma'am was a good looker, could charm the pants off an officer, and had a certain affluent presence. Not just men would turn when when she walked by. She commanded respect, but was never forceful with it. There was always an angelic feeling to her presence, and life was always blooming around her. She was never very lonely, and many beings spent time trying to befriend her.

Ma'am wasn't happy though, as she knew it was but a facadé to real purpose. Life. There is nothing other than to give, no reason to care, other than to procreate. To live.. Forever. Through your offspring, is HOW you get purpose. She knew this, and deep down she knew, there was NOTHING that was going to stop her. She had to have her purpose!

She had grown up on the outer most part of town.. But was no stranger to how it all worked. She had travelled the worlds, only to end up on some planet tucked away, in some hole in the wall called The Eve of dusk. This is where she was to meet her family, whether the intention was there or not.

There was a certain military official that would stop by periodically, and being someone of the world, she knew they were a customer to have. Big stories, Big needs, BIG bucks. Now how to entertain.. This indiviual. That was the next project. How could she entertain him?

For weeks, she followed this individual, bumping into him here and there, but being careful to keep an arms reach. He was not a run of the mill meat muppet like the rest, but would catch on to her if she was too aggressive or slipped up in her poise. This is how it happened though..

One night after an especially busy night Ma'am was on her way home from the establishment. She knew the area well, but what she didn't know was that tonight there was going to be an accident. A horrible car accident involving a drunk, and a lady all alone. Left alone.. Until a lucky stranger noticed them during a midnight stroll.

She woke up in a daze in what could only smell and look like a decrepid part of the sewers. This was far from the lavish locale she was used too.. And such tight bonds.. She will have to remember to charge extra for that when the time comes she reminded herself, even now focused on how to turn a bill.

He ranted on about procedures and logics and this and thats. Now she must figure out how to get out, and where she was. With an inherent reflex the doctor snatched the slim pin from the air. Ma'am had used these on many occasions to placate unruly patrons. This one seemingly knew.

It was if the question was answered as the doctor began to explain how he knew all about her training, and how she did this and that.. Annoying prick. This was not a good situation to be in. All of a sudden a dull wail started, with a little red light flashing on the doctors desk. There was an explosion, then another. Something was exploding nearby.

He handed her a tool to break lose, and stood at ease by the doorway. It seemed obvious to them something was coming. Something the doctor knew, but Ma'am seemed to feel as well, when she thought about it. Something that had always been there. Or had it? Nevermind it was time to learn. It was quiet for a few moments, then whatever it was sort of slithered in the room and took rest within arms reach, before she even understood the magnificence of it all.

It spoke only through what could be telepathy, but the voice was not what she expected. It was clear. It was focused. It was somehow kind. It spent some time explaining to her how she must now fulfill her duty, by finally doing what she wished. Siring a child of their own. She had always been one, but was separated at a young age, by a complete accident. Now she could do what she was born for.

There would be a cost though it warned her, and it would always be great. She agreed.

On instruction she was then told to follow into a larger room where there were several containers. She was then instructed to pick one. They all contained what could only be described as "pods of people." The intent must have been for a mate, because the doctor started rambling off all sort of genetic comparisons and matches. She made a life profiting off them, she chuckled how wrong the doctor could really be.

But wait... Why was he here!?

To be continued...

[hivefleetkerrigan]

You need some sort of judges (synapse creatures) and it has to be an elimination cooking show. Those that get eliminated are sent back to the spawning pools and can be used as ingredients in future challenges.

[Hive Bahamut]

Ok I like half of that. I love the idea of there being like a starcraft style icons "Judge" panel that represent different parts of the Synaptic web judging the food. (Basically just like 5 different "kinds" of eaters.) They are akin to the Arc in the X-men cartoon where the galaxy is just kind of a joke show for the rest, but a little beavis and butthead/space ghost coast to coast in there. I wasn't sure what kind of show we are doing, but elimination is not a part of the result, it is built into the story sometimes. Like a pissy customer starts reaching through the window and grannie just cleavers their arm off, so Marc has to go smash the rest in the alley or something. Cuts screen due to technical difficulties, and when it goes back to the show and there is now "the rest" of that patron being put into a nice pie or something.

Who gets to be on that panel Kerrigan? 1 slot is automatically an obese (even for them) Tervigon. We have the Nids Host Tyrant Terry, and so that leaves about 2 or 3 for you if you want? If not I can make them up too. I feel like a super starved "vegan" nid would be funny as hell too.

[hivefleetkerrigan]

Oh, I see. It's just a cooking show like "how to cook x". For some reason, I was thinking it was going to be an elimination show like the great British bake off.

For judges, definitely a hive tyrant/the swarm lord/a norn queen is the hard to please judge. I like the idea of a fat tervigon running around.

I now think there needs to be a tyranid host personality tours the galaxy sampling different worlds buffets, something like diners drive-ins and dives. I'm thinking cultists, craftworlds, and calamari (ya know for Tau).

[Hive Bahamut]

I had no idea what it was, this is just a concept that I found too good to pass up. I am starting to feel like a cooking show is perfect.

So the Nids will only show up on their (starcraft style interaction icons) and converse at the end of the episode, or sometimes if something goes wrong. Think Shadow in the Warp board of shadowy figures. You never see them, or have any sort of interaction. This is their commentary, we are their playthings, and this whole war is basically just HOW TO EAT THE BEST FOOD. Granny knows about them, but nobody else is even aware except the viewers.

Ok so we have Tyrant Terry (just a tie on a tyrant) as the spokesmen for the Hivemind/Tyranids. Then there is the Queen (name) who is just super excited about everybody. We have Fat Chelsey, who needs everything deep fried, or dipped in sauces. There is Roice the Neurothrope, and they are kind of a dick, and matters of a facts a lot.. Kind of a know it all.. Finally we have Todd the Parasite of Mortrex. Kind of a psychopath, REALLY focused on JUST stabbing things, and is kind of a bummer sometimes.


ALRIGHT. We have a cast, a crew, a setting, a secret board of shadowy figures, and a virtual infinite amount of ideas for food. It is also going to be a sort of makeshift take-out restaurant. I feel like there are going to be too many "crimes of opportunity" to not take advantage of. Sweeney Todd got nothing on Granny.

Recipes:
EDIT: RECIPES THROWN INTO CATEGORY BELOW

[infornography]

Necrons could become serving implements and cutlery.
Like a necron skull faceplate could be a literal plate. Necron fingers could become knives and forks. Etc. Depending on production quality you might even get away with creating these art assets once and just copypastaing them as needed.

[Hive Bahamut]

That seemed to be where they fit. Flayed one finger kabobs etc, although a Wraith-weight diet could be funny.

Carl is grannys bun when officals come peeking around. Carl is normally lavender purple but being a cthulu squid changing colour is easy. This is Carls only "real" job. Being the secret ingredient is secondary.

Granny and Marc have been doing this so long she can only vaguely remember why they started (she will never forget,) and it has been a good hundred years or so since the war.. This is a hollow shell of what once was. Both parties are just going through the motions, for a seemingly unknown master.


Kickitz seems like a good Gretchin delivery beings name. Almost Skaven-squeek but because of nervinous, not dubious. Yes-yes mum. She feeds him red chilés equivalent because they feels they make them run faster. He will also be given a nice pair of shoes for something along the way.

Ripper is just going to slowly devolve from a normal Ripper, to a mini-fat chelsey. No one cares, this is their purpose.

The oven almost needs to be a bit of imperial marketing. "Here we have the new Maydayg GE4011, with 4 element induction cooking, and a split hearth option for dual dish delight! Would you like to know more?"

Moments with Marc: Every once in a while there will be a little segway called "Moments with Marc." This is anything from him smiling blanky for a few, (he is still smiling from the photo, granny hasn't told his face to be anything else yet.) To him helping a mutant child with a bandage. This is as close to human as the show is. This labotomized meat muppet is what Tyranids enjoy about humans. They care for the most pointless things.

[Hive Bahamut]

Ok well I think now all I need to do is come up with a billion recipes, and some sort of "structure" to how it all goes about. I am thinking something along the lines of:

*Intro* (not there yet)

Most of the time Granny is ready to go albeit once in a while one of her miscreants (Marc, Carl, Ripper etc) might be causing havoc. It only takes her a moment, with her loving tone to get back on track. She introduces herself, and what she will be cooking today.

If there is any sort of "fresh" preparation needed Marc usually handles it *offscreen* before handing whatever it is to Granny, before rushing back to his camera work (It is totally automated, but he doesn't need to know that, it is easier on Granny this way if he isn't the star AS WELL as the director.)

The whole thing needs to have the tone of your own Grandmother. Baking you your favourite cookie, or on a sick day.. Your favourite stew! But gross. Like old country lady. The Hivemind makes sure to portray it as an "Imperial cooking show," but fail to make all the connections. (Like how humans don't eat Ork etc.)

The presentation is nothing short of pictures out of the cooking book. Pristine edible perfection. Sometimes one of the Hive Mind (usually Fat Chelsey.. FFS..) cuts in before Granny finishes, but usually she is left her say. Granny makes sure to highlight certain features like becoming a sickly boy, and prying at every heart string. You don't want to make Granny upset.. Do you? Eat it m'boy.. I made it fresh for you!

Carl gets a little squirt in there. Carl is purposely the Hallmark "toy" aspect, as well as the secret ingredient ink being a form of extracted Kiss, formulated special by the Hive Mind. This is pure $%&@. Any human ingesting directly would die immeditely. Hive Mind thought it would be "funny" to make cooking the neutralizer (whatever form that be..)

The show wraps up with the panel of the Hive Mind going into a mass debate which is supposed to be some sort of judging system. Unfortunately there isn't really a proper way to eat... So it usually ends up devolving into a garbled mess of nonsense. Sometimes the dish amazes the panel. They each get their own little taste (Carl has little portal/black hole in it that sends stuff to them, and this is why it is a little food clepto.)

The outro has some Imperial propaganda and all sorts of infomercials

*Very heavy cosmic indifference tones, as well as the acknowledgement that arguing over food is stupid, but not quite as stupid as arguing over pigment of skin, or which invisible friend in the sky is real.*

[Hive Bahamut]

Non food recipes


Aeldari: Light, Dark or Funny roast "coffee" as they do not contain enough material to make a proper meal out of. Also, due to the fact that the soul was removed, very bitter tasting. Not really used as much apart from said drink.

Custodes: Only once ever, and just a hand. Is a meal for a VERY SPECIAL guest. This is basically akin to the highest levels of cuisine the galaxy has to offer. Even the Hive Mind is surprised that Granny was able to obtain it. She has a few secrets..

Daemons: Spices and seasonings, not enough material for core.

Nurgle: Spinach, mushrooms, durians, brines, marinades, TRUE blue cheese, stews and other "moist" things.
Khorne: Flakes, pepper(s), pineapples, curries, radishes, anything (pop)corn and "hot or bloody"
Slaanesh: Essences, rubs, powders, gels, marinades, garnishes, and anything typically "exotic"
Tzeentch: Sweet (and or) sour, Hot (and or) spicy, cold soup, hot ice cream, spicy cereals, and other "mix-ups"

Food Recipes


Adeptus Mechanicus: Preserved meats, jerkies, skewers, petrolna bars, PR0731N P0WD34S, and other supplements

Astra Militarum: Everything. Cadia back ribs, Soylent Grunt. All the poultry based dishes, because they don't understand clothes, but they understand feathers.

Astartes: Inverse (grilled usually) Red Meat: Cuts of steak, ranging from Blue-Black, and cooked to texture.

Orkz: Pork and Mushroom related dishes.

Sororitas: "40k Kosher" handled products. For those with a more "altruistic" means of eating.

Tau: Mostly shellfish, as the little juicy bits are always contained in some form of inedible shell. Kroot and Vespids just add to the random BS ocean theme like Squid, fin fish and jellies etc.

Accessories

Everything: Bones for stocks and stews etc

Aeldari: Upperware. Only the finest class in plastics made exclusively from Wraith constructs. Granny has mostly containers made from this material lying about the kitchen. Wood is scarce, but death is plenty.

Necrons: Bone China. Only the best dishes and meals are prepared with these utensils and kitchenwares. Absolutely the finest wares in the galaxy full stop.

[Hive Bahamut]

This Nightmare Fuel project has started to blossom into something else. I am so happy how everything seems to fall into place, even the recipes which I thought for sure was going to be the biggest hurdle, has almost comically aligned. Fish race that has like 4 or 5 fish related names?! Orks being so prevalent and one of the key sources? Right arm. Even the mutant henchman and Judge panel has just manifested into something so perfect. Thank you for all taking this ride with me!

Let's keep the "human-esque stuff seperate because I want to be a little more diligent about how we "eat people" in 40k. GW keeps a family friendly tone and with dark undertones I do need to remember to keep it "Kosher?" Alright.. Here we go:

Astrates

Steak and Roast based dishes, with lots of charred, and burnt. Unlike how we do it though the Hive Mind only sees how the different temperments of the different "Colours" flavours the meat, and it has nothing to do with the end result. Texture is their end result, for a sort of an inverse way to do it.

2. Rosemary Garlic Ribeye Steak

12. Fast-flipped Blue Steak with Raw Vegetables
13. Steak n Eggs
14. Cheesteak Submarine Sandwich

17. Teriyaki Glazed Steak and Rice
18. Steak Souvlaki
19. Rust Dusted Steak and Spicy Pasta
20. Soy-Garlic Marinated Steak Stir Fry

28. Pastrami Cured Steak and Root Vegetables

38. Caramelized Steak and Mustard Sandwich
39. Honey Garlic Steak Bites

I still think that astartes are the canned goods to the hive mind. Either that or theyre some sort of crustacean dish like escargot.

There are most definitely going to be a couple, but I felt that Tau with their Shellfish appeal took precedent over redundancy. It also reflects the colors of armor in a way that makes sense to something that is trying to understand our "cooking" techniques, but doesn't quite understand why we do it the way we do.

Marc needs a Tenderizer, and I feel like this is going to be the majority of his time onscreen in "Marcs Moments." Basically just murder smashing something into oblivion, or fervishly tenderizing the meat for Granny. What can we make of this "tool?" Should it just be a giant stick? A club? I feel like this is another opportunity to bring something funny in. Maybe he just has something random each time, paying Homage to the Heavy Improvised Weapon idea. Like one time it pans in and he is clubbing something, but another, he just has a sink and is smashing something with it etc.

Going to continue adding recipes for now. I am not at a creative wall, but I am not sure how to move this forward. I will keep filling in the details until then.
