Conversions

Fantasy

I suppose that Hive Beetles could make a very interesting race to use in a game where the PCs are expecting things like Insect Men, or at worst, Thranx . . . Alter the tech levels of skills, and probably turn T'k'k into a low-tech gadgeteer.

Modern

This is a First Contact that would have war declared pretty quickly . . .

Near Future

The corp who created this biological android would be sorry. However, they are good spies (small drones which are expendable) . . . Until the entire human population turns on you, waving torches and all that good stuff, that is.


T'k'k/T'kik was the engineer for the Albatross for several years, even owning a few shares of it. Fortunately for the crew's continued sanity, T'kik finally decided it wanted to go home and find a mate, so it pulled off one last appalling joke (which wound up with some number of lunatic-fringe religious nuts thinking the Albatross' Captain was the Messiah) and left.

Typical Quotes:

"Tk-k-k-k-k-k-k-k-k!" (Hive Beetle laughter . . . )
