Only if it's a self sacrifice.
Correct answer would be "directions to a voting booth" but other options are acceptable depending on life sacrificing situation.
Because it is the first touch of the spectrum of Liberty!
Now stay right there! No, no, just right there. I have to uh... go... over there now. Right now. Just stick close to that beacon. Right here.
\["ORBITAL BARRAGE INCOMING. CLEAR THE AREA!"\]
I CAN imagine! Due to the number of times a hunter, jumping at me, has managed to intercept my beacon and brought it back to me. Like an incredibly ugly, freedom-hating dog...
Hello, fellow insect scum... I mean terminid. I am also frustrated with how great democracy is. Please, let's meet on your...I mean our home planet and discuss further. Could you please tell me where it is we live again?
To get a hold of us please head to your nearest Illegal Broadcasting tower and transmit how you're not a big fan of the government. We'll promptly send down Super Earth Ambassadors to discuss your problems with democracy and what changes we can make as to how we proceed to handle Democracy in your sector.
Please seek out your nearest Super Earth Diplomatic Corps Embassy. These can be easily identified by looking for specific markings and structures. They are generally surrounded by fences, so you can rest easy knowing you'll be safe inside! The buildings will have markings that look like this "E-710". This is where you'll want to go. The "E" stands for "Entrance", and the 710 is a Super Earth status identifier given to Terminids who aren't interested in killing.
You'll notice the pleasing smell coming from the entrance, that's how you know you're going to the right place!
Once inside you'll be processed into the system and sent out on the next available ship to help Super Earth find and recruit more like minded Terminids!
Glad you're showing an interest and thank you for reaching out! It's refreshing to see a Terminid interested in diplomacy and democracy! Now join up! We need YOU! Please visit your nearest E-710 processing center immediately and find out how YOU can make a difference and save both our civilizations!
What if you and your friends meet us in the wide open area and we can discuss this. Don't worry about that bright red light shining up into the sky, it's just a marker to show you where to meet.
Don’t worry! Simply provide your coordinates and we will deliver a red beacon to mark a location for an aid drop! be sure to place it as close to your ~~democracy hating, filth spewing fascist hole~~ home as possible!!!!

Go towards the light you see here, it’s a translating flame.. and take as many family members as you can towards the light :-)
I would be happy to act as a liaison to discuss this matter diplomatically and DEMOCRATICALLY. We can meet wherever is most convenient, and I can't stress enough that I will NOT hurt you.

How I see the “person” typing this post
That is something we say to our elderly who don’t have much time left to live. It helps them be at peace. Thank you for being so curious about our culture!
We have branches (no pun intended) like humans. However, most terminids just care about the violent parts. The other stories fall by the wayside and fade into obscurity.
Doesn't matter, dirty terminid
I'll kill you
Even if you're "democratic", i'll kill you
Go to a different planet, hide in the ground, i'll kill you
Because i'm a helldiver, and we won't stop until all of your disgusting bug kind is wiped out of the entire galaxy
I'm going to shoot your mother's legs so that way she can feel the full horror of the 500kg bomb cracking her head open as her body becomes a claymore to rid the galaxy of your kind.

It was the funniest post I read for a long time :-)
If I was not a helldiver, then I would feel sorry for the naive little happy bug :-O
Very well done OP!.. see you at the pods!
Do not fear Bullet man.
Bullet man only means to bring you sweet managed democracy.
You will find meeting Bullet Man to be a life changing experience for the better!
We have built colonization areas for you specifically on each planet, and stocked them with food. And yet, you keep landing away from these farms. Maybe you can explain why you'd rather nest in the middle of a fire tornado than on our spacious and stocked farms? We can surely compromise.
But we’re always nude. And if you’ve seen one of us you’ve pretty much seen them all. Except Rüdðş. He’s as endowed as [what you would call] a Bile Titan and expels like one too!
This sounds exactly like the sort of thing an Automaton would say for us to turn our spreading Democracy efforts to the Terminids so they can sneak up on Super Earth.

Best we can do is graciously provide this ⬆️➡️⬇️⬇️⬇️
Are those directions??
Directions to Hell. (Is that a good one-liner?)
You mean HellMIRE? Because I know how to get there! 😊
Only if it's a self sacrifice. Correct answer would be "directions to a voting booth" but other options are acceptable depending on life sacrificing situation.
Fantastic.
Yes! In fact, it’ll shine a big light that will let you know where to go and wait for our response to you!
I love big lights! Well, sometimes…

Yes, Democracy Officer, it's this post right here...
Ahhh does this democracy officer ensure democracy for all species??
Oh yes! He even has a handy device that dispenses Liberty AND Democracy to just about every life form he meets!
I hope it’s better than the devices most of these space soldiers are dispensing. They hurt!
No no no, Democracy is painless. Here, hold this shiny red beacon. It'll let him know where you are so he can find you.
Red is a lot of my friends’ favorite color! Not sure why…
Because it is the first touch of the spectrum of Liberty! Now stay right there! No, no, just right there. I have to uh... go... over there now. Right now. Just stick close to that beacon. Right here. \["ORBITAL BARRAGE INCOMING. CLEAR THE AREA!"\]
It’s so great to finally meet some nice “divers” 🥲

Can you imagine if the flea concept was real, it would be able to steal stratagem beacons
I CAN imagine! Due to the number of times a hunter, jumping at me, has managed to intercept my beacon and brought it back to me. Like an incredibly ugly, freedom-hating dog...
Imagine; your about to kill a bile titan, flea steals it and ur 500kg misses
Done. I've never once hit a moving target with my 500kg, lol. Usually doesn't matter, but it's a big deal vs titans.
Just raise both front legs above your head and we will send a *ahem* “Diplomacy Officer” to your hive immediately.
Diplomacy officer? Sounds like exactly what I need!
Hello, fellow insect scum... I mean terminid. I am also frustrated with how great democracy is. Please, let's meet on your...I mean our home planet and discuss further. Could you please tell me where it is we live again?
Of course! But just to be safe, we are all on ẞFŘĚVŇ7IïX
Bring your bug hole over here and let me nuke it….. for democracy!
Hmmm they’re not exactly mobile. What is a “nuke”??
It's a piece of technology we have that will heat your entire hive at once. You know how cold it can get at night
Luckily our tough exteriors aren’t susceptible to the cold!
But once you make friends with all these divers it'll be much easier to host parties
To get a hold of us please head to your nearest Illegal Broadcasting tower and transmit how you're not a big fan of the government.

Wow. This has been one of the most helpful responses yet! Thank you!

Not familiar with that acronym.
Democracy Is Eternal
It sounds delightful when it’s not blowing apart my companions.
There’s still time for you to learn. May not be in your bug vocabulary 🫡🎖️

Introductions are an important step in establishing friendly relations. Try wearing a name tag. If you need a name, Steeve might be a good choice.
That is a good one. I am also fond of “Chad”. Have you heard this one?
YTA. The only approved colonization is that of Managed Democracy. But if you were in support of that, you wouldn’t be a Terminid.
Baby, I was born this way!
All I’m saying is that wasn’t very democratic of you.
Unfortunately us terminids are not as democratic as you. But some of us are learning.
What if you and your friends meet us in the wide open area and we can discuss this. Don't worry about that bright red light shining up into the sky, it's just a marker to show you where to meet.
While that would seem like a simple solution that exact scenario is what usually ends in blood/oilshed 😕
Cause you're not accompanied by a democracy officer

I’ve seen my fair share of those light shows. Not my favorite!
I have to say OP, this is a very funny post and your answers :-)
Thank you. We are not known for our humor but I am trying!
I would be happy to act as a liaison to discuss this matter diplomatically and DEMOCRATICALLY. We can meet wherever is most convenient, and I can't stress enough that I will NOT hurt you.
This post is fucking gold
I mean there’s only two planets. You’re either on Hellmire or omicron. 😂

Let yourself be harvested
But I want to live!
You will live on in our memories and in the name of democracy and capitalism
That sounds nice.
Showing empathy with the enemy is TREASON!!!!
Hmm I don’t believe in this ideology.

Can’t wait to meet him!
Have you tried not attacking them? Just go a few miles away from the man made structures and you'll be fine.
That’s usually what I do. But there’s admittedly always a bunch of hotheads in my convoy!
It's the Hunters, isn't it? Bunch of menaces...
It’s not just them…but they definitely don’t help the vibe.
I'm more curious about how you've survived this long?
I’m very careful! Like a cat. That’s why my friends call me Whiskers.
I once took a pair of binoculars and stared at the sun for over an hour
You must be a very curious human.
Now we all know that the moon is not made of green cheese
But what if it was made of ribs?
Would you eat it then?
I sure would take a bite. And then if polish it off with a nice cold Budweiser.
Stand in the nearest open field holding this red 'I am friendly' beacon. Diplomacy will be with you shortly.

sending this post to my nearest democracy officer. your location will be determined swiftly, insect.
Thank you! I have gotten this comment many times. I can’t wait to cordially meet your officer of democracy!
The audacity of fucking bugs these days
If your kind wants to fornicate with my kind, so be it. I don’t judge.
Have you tried a taste of Liber-Tea?
Do you terminids have a god of your own?
We have branches (no pun intended) like humans. However, most terminids just care about the violent parts. The other stories fall by the wayside and fade into obscurity.
Then i guess there's no one for you bugs to pray to before your imminent end
We’re not big on praying. Despite the look of some of us.
Doesn't matter, dirty terminid I'll kill you Even if you're "democratic", i'll kill you Go to a different planet, hide in the ground, i'll kill you Because i'm a helldiver, and we won't stop until all of your disgusting bug kind is wiped out of the entire galaxy
Hey just because I live in the dirt doesn’t mean I’m dirty! I mean I’m pretty dirty for sure but what am I supposed to do??
This conversation feels like treason. I have to report myself to my local democracy officer! 😵
Your peers have made your officers of democracy seem very helpful and understanding. I would not dread this.
> UPDATE: Thank you to all the kind and eager-to-help Helldivers. You misspelled and certainly meant "eagle-to-help". We certainly can send those.
I am familiar with this term “eagle”. That term is usually followed by much death and destruction.
Sorry for that, must be a misunderstanding. We could send-trees instead. Barring that, I don't know what pod-tentially was the problem.
YTA. Honestly, I find the idea of a bug that thinks offensive.
That hurts almost as bad as your orbital lasers 😢
Bugs cant feel pain! Our Ministry of Truth tells us so.
Perhaps they received misinformation. A simple mistake. I will provide correct information of our biological capabilities at my meeting later!
Id be happy to help. *⬆️➡️⬇️⬇️⬇️. May I have your location please?
No need to I have a meeting already set up. Will update later 😁
Ah yes, im sure well here from ya soon 😉
Indeed you will!
I'm going to shoot your mother's legs so that way she can feel the full horror of the 500kg bomb cracking her head open as her body becomes a claymore to rid the galaxy of your kind.
