->"''You still don't understand what you're dealing with, do you? The perfect organism. Its structural perfection is matched only by its hostility. ... I admire its ''purity''. A survivor... unclouded by conscience, remorse, or delusions of morality.''"
-->--'''Ash''', ''Film/{{Alien}}''

->This is the [[TheEndOfTheWorldAsWeKnowIt End of Times]], brothers. Death approaches, and it is not at the hands of a ravening horde nor any army of contemptible aliens. Our enemy is a single intellect. [[HiveMind A single gestalt consciousness, more ancient than we can conceive, more massive than we can measure, a single mind that has not one body, but a trillion]]. An all-seeing eye that has no shape and no form. How can we fight such a thing?
->I will tell you: [[LastStand until the last breath]]. If we can but delay that great maw from closing around us, then we have achieved what countless empires, countless worlds, countless galaxies, have not. I say this not to terrify you. I say it simply so you understand, simply so you do not waste your time with luxuries such as hope. [[HopelessWar There is no hope]]. The Great Devourer is upon us. Let us see how long we may restrain her jaw.
-->-- '''TabletopGame/{{Inquisitor}} Kryptman''', addressing the Congresium Xenos, ''TabletopGame/{{Warhammer 40000}}''

-> ''I used to think that defeating the Zerg would take precise military maneuvers, clever tactics and strong leadership. I was wrong. [[HiveMind You can't out-think the swarm]], [[ZergRush you can't out-maneuver the swarm]], [[AlwaysChaoticEvil and you certainly can't break the morale of the swarm]]. I hate to admit this, but I could do my job just as well if I ordered all my men to simply shoot anything that moves.''

-->-- '''Colonel Ronald "Hardcore" Jackson''', ''StarCraft'', ''(The description in [[http://classic.battle.net/scc/OS/0100.shtml a downloadable map]], more precisely.)''

->We call them Tyranids as if they’re a ''race'', [[FantasticRacism another xenos clan to be faced down and cleansed]]. In the face of horror we cling to our sciences, our labels, little realising they do nothing but drown us. We’d do better to call them a disease. There is no better analogy. I’ve seen the [[OrganicTechnology hive ships]], brothers. [[ZergRush Barbed horrors scuttling forth to kill]], bloated vermin writhing back to be absorbed, their bellies full. I’ve seen the forests picked clean of life. I’ve seen the biofleets draining the water of teeming worlds, the vortex mouths guzzling the prairies. I’ve seen shadows moving in the [[HyperspaceIsAScaryPlace warp]], the tentacles stretching out of the darkness beyond the Eastern Rim.
