[Warhammer: Starting as a Planetary Governor] Chapter 132 (Patreon)

How should the Genestealers be dealt with?

Suddenly, Eden had an idea:
"Let's mark all the Genestealers with the Aquila symbol and release them into the wild."

Currently, humanity's main settlements on Urth were limited to the hive cities and their nearby regions.

However, this didn't mean there were no humans living beyond these areas.

Outside the hive cities, there were likely small towns and tribes that had managed to survive. Given humanity's resilience in the Warhammer 40K universe, those who hadn't perished likely adapted to the polluted environment and endured.

After all, if humans could survive in the underhives, there was no reason they couldn't survive in the wild.

Releasing the Genestealers into the wild could serve to cleanse the environment by hunting down mutated creatures and abominations.

This would improve the living conditions of the towns and tribes in the wilderness, allowing more people to survive.

Furthermore, the Genestealers' purging efforts would pave the way for future decontamination and land reclamation.

Following Eden's orders, the Adeptus Mechanicus equipped all the Genestealers with Aquila insignias and installed voice emitters on them.

When these Genestealers approached humans, the emitters would play announcements to reduce public fear.

Additionally, when the Genestealers located human settlements, they would mark the locations and report back. This allowed the capital sector to dispatch aid teams to provide food, tools, and seeds while bringing the settlements under governance.

This approach was mutually beneficial—reducing costs for Genestealer upkeep, improving the planet's environment, and protecting humanity.

Soon, the Genestealers were all equipped with the Aquila insignias and the necessary mechanical devices.

To ensure safety, Eden used the hive network to establish rules for the Genestealers:

Do not harm any normal humans.

Always prioritize human safety and provide assistance whenever possible.

Avoid consuming human food or rare flora and fauna critical for human survival.

Dangerous predators threatening human life could be hunted sparingly.

Maintain a population cap of no more than 20 million.

With everything set, Eden gave the go-ahead for the mass release of the Genestealers.

The gates of hive cities opened, and millions of Genestealers poured into the wilderness, dispersing rapidly.

Impact on Hive City Outskirts

The first to benefit from this initiative were the residents of the hive city outskirts, who had long been plagued by mutant attacks.

Once the Genestealer forces swept through the surrounding areas, such attacks ceased entirely.

Initially, the residents were terrified of these alien creatures. However, upon realizing the Genestealers meant no harm, they quickly felt at ease.

To their delight, officials from the hive cities soon delivered farming tools, seeds, and food supplies, citing the Governor's "Warmth for the People" initiative to aid the impoverished.

Before leaving, the officials even erected a statue of the Governor, which the residents reverently enshrined.

...

The Rabari Tribe

Deep in the eastern mountains, the Rabari Tribe bustled with activity.

Young Lana carried a basket of carefully prepared food as she skipped toward the fields, accompanied by the adults. Occasionally, she glanced at the delicious offerings in her basket and swallowed hard.

These delicacies had been painstakingly saved by the tribe and were usually reserved for sacred ceremonies.

But Lana resisted the temptation. The food wasn't for her—it was for the Divine Beast.

Half a month ago, the Divine Beast had descended upon their tribe.

It was tall, strong, and fearsome, with razor-sharp claws and teeth, shrouded in ominous black smoke.

At first, the tribe feared it was yet another monster. But during a mutant attack, the Divine Beast saved Lana and drove away the attackers.

From then on, the Divine Beast began protecting the tribe, eliminating the monsters that had terrorized them for years.

The tribe's shaman declared it a divine messenger sent by the heavens, and the strange sounds it emitted were said to be celestial blessings.

Lana and her fellow tribespeople soon reached the field. Excitedly, she called out,
"Divine Beast, we've brought you lots of tasty treats!"

A massive first-generation Heavy-Armor Genestealer stood in the field, diligently plowing the rocky land. Its strength alone surpassed the entire tribe's combined labor.

This "Divine Beast" was one of the Genestealers Eden had released into the wild.

After deciding to release the Genestealers, Eden had sought advice from the tech enthusiasts on the Mechanicus forums. Amid the memes and nonsensical posts, he found a practical suggestion for modifying the Genestealers into heavy-duty farming units.

These modifications allowed them to not only eliminate mutated creatures but also assist in reclaiming farmland for human settlements.

In gratitude, Eden rewarded the suggestion's creator with premium status and a hefty amount of cog credits—the Adeptus Mechanicus' internal currency.

Hearing Lana's call, the Genestealer paused its work and scanned the surroundings for potential threats to humans.

The tribe approached cautiously, and the shaman led them in a ceremonial dance to honor the "Divine Beast."

The Genestealer stood still, wary of harming the humans.

After the dance, the shaman reverently presented the offerings. Lana stepped forward with her basket, her eyes filled with anticipation.

"This is for you, Divine Beast. Please enjoy it…"

The Genestealer, possessing basic intelligence, understood her intent. It shook its head and gently pushed the basket back, refusing the food.

"You don't like it?" Lana asked, confused.

The Genestealer pointed at the basket, then at Lana, signaling her to take it back. It then resumed its work, plowing another section of the field.

The shaman interpreted the gesture, reassuring Lana,
"It's okay. The Divine Beast has accepted our gratitude. Perhaps it doesn't eat earthly food."

Soon after, the tribe was visited by celestial envoys—Eden's "Warmth for the People" team.

The team recorded their faces and identity information into the system, officially bringing the tribe under governance.

Despite the language barrier, the envoys completed their tasks, left the tribe with tools and seeds, and departed.

Lana, unable to understand their words, gazed reverently at the sacred statue they left behind.

"The celestial beings are so kind!" she thought.

Across Urth, the Genestealers purged countless mutated creatures and abominations, initiating the planet's environmental purification.

Simultaneously, Eden launched a large-scale census using Kaul's newly developed identity recognition system, registering every citizen into the psychic network.
