"Nevertheless, disturbing rumours swiftly began to circulate. Something had assailed the ships of the Fourth Sphere Expansion as they drifted, lost in the sub-realm’s roiling tides. Nearly three quarters of the expedition’s ships were cracked and torn apart, their occupants dragged into the screaming maelstrom. Bizarre, unnatural forms manifested within the depths of merchant starships and Kir’Qath frigates, alien creatures that obeyed no known laws of physics or nature. Many vessels were gutted from the inside out, their crew and occupants slaughtered and devoured. One by one, the ravenous creatures of the sub-realm were picking off their prey. It seemed almost as if they were prolonging the game, feeding upon the T’au’s rapidly increasing sense of terror and agony. No survivor of the Fourth Sphere Expansion could say how long they endured this torment. Nor would they speak of what had saved them from oblivion, beyond the revelation that something possessing a hideous sentience had dragged them free of that nightmare realm, tearing a great furrow through the fabric of unreality in the process – the very wormhole through which the Fifth Sphere Expansion had travelled. The primal horror in the eyes of those who spoke of their salvation chilled the hearts of all who saw it. Whatever it was that they had witnessed had irrevocably changed these unfortunate souls. They spoke little, and could hardly meet the eyes of those who had not shared their experiences. Yet it was in the presence of non-T’au species that they seemed most discomforted. It was only with firm insistence from the Ethereal caste that Surestrike allowed alien auxiliaries and support staff to board the gate. Even then, his warriors had pulse rifles trained upon any non-T’au that entered their territory. What had become of the Fourth Sphere’s own auxiliaries was a mystery, though dark whispers spoke of forced exiles and even mass liquidation. Some theorised that the Fourth Sphere T’au had witnessed something pure being corrupted beyond countenance during their traumatic odyssey, and now placed the blame at the door of those alien races inducted into the T’au’va."

"The warriors of the Fourth Sphere Expansion partook in these purges with unrestrained eagerness, to the astonished disapproval of their kin. They displayed a ruthlessness quite unheard of amongst adherents of the Code of Fire, slaughtering prisoners with fusillades of pulse fire, and disregarding – even intentionally maximizing – any loss of non-T’au life. Such dark events as the Massacre of the Dul’un Lakes and the Eight Days of Infamy caused great consternation to Commander Shadowsun and the Ethereal High Council. Several T’au Commanders of the Fourth Sphere were subjected to the ritual punishment known as Malk’la for their callous actions and unnecessary brutality, before being returned to the ranks or sent back to the empire for re-assimilation. After a spree of killings and a bloody Kroot uprising upon the colony of Ky’san, all alien auxiliaries were removed from contingents of Fourth Sphere T’au."

Еще и все не-пиздолобое население наноотстойника на параше высрало недобожка, как их веру в высшее говно.

"‘It is almost impossible to describe it,’ said Twiceblade carefully. ‘There was something out there amongst the swirling nebulae, something vast. More of an impression of a sentience than an actual creature.’
‘Larger than these beasts attacking the craft.’
‘Immeasurably so. It had... many arms, I think. Some of those were made to nurture, or to provide, others to destroy. In physique it was familiar to us, for it was built much like a member of the aun. ’ He paused, lost in the memory, and his shio’he wrinkled. ‘Though in retrospect it was bulkier, and many of its hands had five digits. As if the notion of human beauty had mingled with the optimal form of the t’au.’
‘And did this hallucination speak?’
‘It did not. It had no face, only a blank and impassive mask. It was somehow familiar to me, reassuring even, yet it was repugnant at the same time. And I can assure you it was no mirage.’
‘Really.’
‘Every member of every vessel saw the same thing, though as with all the forms in the sub-realm, it could not be recorded. ’
‘So there is no proof that it occurred. There is such a thing as collective hallucination.
‘Perhaps,’ said Twiceblade. ‘But this. entity was our saviour. It looked down upon us. I felt something of good in it. Some twisted form of altruism, or communality, perhaps.’
‘And yet your voice trembles to speak of it,’ said Kais.
‘I found it strangely calming to behold, master, But I also felt its hunger to grow, to spread its many limbs from the tip of one of the galaxy’s spiral arm to the other. To remake everything in its own image. I remember feeling that, and then feeling like it peered directly into my soul.’
Kais scowled, and Twiceblade felt a far more real, immediate fear rise up within him.
He took a deep breath before continuing.
‘Just when I thought I would ignite from the inside, it reached out with its many limbs, and ripped a hole in the swirling nebulae that had becalmed us.’
...
‘That was my conclusion, too,’ said Twiceblade. ‘They are of that realm, or connected to it, somehow. The echoes in the sub-realm. they are the reflections of those races that possess mind-science. That which exists in two dimensions at once. This is what Commander Farsight speaks of in his reminiscences, infers between the lines of those texts forbidden by the aun. ’
‘The entity you witnessed. It was a human god.’
‘In a way,’ said Twiceblade. ‘That entity was the gue’vesa’s conception of our faith, given strength by the other psychic races that believe in the same tenets.’"

"‘It matters not,’ said Kais. ‘This cannot be borne.’
‘I agree. They must die, every one of them, before they corrupt the ideals of our kind still further. Those who gave rise to this alien conception must be destroyed. ’
‘That is why we attacked the gue’vesa ocean world.’
‘It is,’ said Twiceblade.
‘Word of this cannot reach sept space,’ said Kais. ‘We would make enemies of our allies as well as our foes. We would be disavowed, and exiled, much like Mont’ka-Shoh.’
‘Almost certainly.’
‘The aun have their own conclusions. The views of the fire caste upon matters supernatural would not be welcome.’
‘It would not.’
‘Then we of the Fourth Sphere must eradicate all alien auxiliaries. Anything with the least presence in the sub-realm must die. It is the only way the T’au’va will remain pure. ’"

Начнём с того, что вы оба немного обосрались или запутались в терминологии. А может во всём виноват проёбанный перевод, но суть в том - что есть две разных вещи: "коллективный разум" и "Разум роя", которые вы завёте хайвмайндом но суть, в том что они не одно и тоже.
Первое: "Коллективный разум" это банальное соединение любой группы жуков в одну вычислительную сеть, куда каждый жук сбрасывает всю тактическую информацию и посредством распределённых вычислений принимается коллективное решение с наиболее эффективным результатом. Для создания этой сети нужен как минимум один "роутер" и любое число "конечных" узлов - то есть примитивных тиранидов. Причём масштаб может быть огромным: боевая марионетка видит копошащихся людей которые заряжают пушку, у неё возникает вопрос: "Зачем". Он передаёт вопрос ближайшему роутеру, который передаёт сигнал на орбиту где несколько здоровенных кораблей поднимают все имеющиеся тактические данные и спускают вниз ответ: "Они будут стрелять!" Хотя наверное напрягать все ресурсы флота, ради незначительного тактического вопроса не самая рациональная идея, но суть не в этом. Это коллективный разум, который действует с максимальной эффективностью. Он может состоять из кого угодно и вообще собираться и разваливаться любое количество раз. Что касается генокрадов единственное их отличие, что они как и гибриды сами по себе являются и узлами сети и роутерами, но имеют автономный мозг - на случай если им станет совсем одиноко.
А есть "разум Роя" это НЁХ которая существует вообще независимо от всех своих мясных органов/существ и просто использует их для манипуляций с материальным миром. Причём напрямую он соединяется только с "флагманами" флота тиранидов А может и всеми кораблями если захочет, а с остальными взаимодействует через "коллективный разум", если конкретная группа жуков не подсоединена к генеральной сети то они движемы коллективным разумом, но не разумом Роя.

А теперь, что касается ебучих патриархов. Они технологически являются такими-же генокрадами как и остальными, и являются частью местной коллективной сети, но не её центром. Просто за счёт мутаций у них есть "передатчик" дальнего действия (как у кораблей) который передаёт сигнал разуму Роя, что ко вторжению всё готово вместе с координатами планеты.
Другое его отличие в том, что его передатчик срёт психосигнал не только вглубь космоса, но и на близкие дистанции поэтому когда какой-нибудь парень из истребительной команды принудительно отключает патриарха от сети при помощи очереди из болтера, пропадает сигнал к которому местные генокрады уже адаптировались, из-за чего происходит психический шок. То есть сама сеть между каждым из генокрадов и гибридов от выключения патриарха не страдает, но сам факт его отключения вызывает: шок, сметенье и глубокое чувство неправильности происходящего у каждого кто сидел на той-же частоте.
Единственное отличие, что будучи генеральным сруном психосигналов в случае его принудительного отключения
