Previous thread.

(Also, I may or may not be completely screwed for a way to work tomorrow. This should be fun)

Bumpness.

clearly we should robust the shit out of the freighter because it is EVIL and MUST BE SLAIN

AND THEN WE TAKE OUR BATONS TO THE EVIL TERRANS AND PROTOSS IN THE NAME OF THE EMPRAH

>>13166061
I don't really think toolboxing the freighter is an option...

im not in the scrolling text what the fuck

>>13165814
Yea, scrap the freighter and burn the planet.

Also do we KNOW that he is coming for us?

>>13166093
You've got your own World of Horrors. You don't need scrawlspace, too.

>>13166106
Not for sure, no. He could be going after the Protoss colonies in the same area, but since we infested some of those, we may still have to fight him.

So, blowing up the freighter, now?

rolled 12 = 12

>>13166071
clearly you're only thinking in HUMAN terms

zerg can dual wield toolboxes, and we got alot of zerg...

why haven't we "won" yet, are we supposed to be fighting the xelnaga, tyranids, AND the forces of the Frozen throne or someshit

>>13166153
>Why haven't we won yet

Because we keep losing.

Yarrr. These are dark times indeed.

Surely Kerrigan shall have been watching us as we mentaly blacked out Gorn and will see us as too controling for her psychotic bitchness to accept as an ally so we need to prepare our stunt weapon so that we may keep her from doing something as low as leading a band of Dark templar to our world while we fight Kingston.

We need to ready Bernie for war. I say we contact our little terrorbrate and give em a nice rousing speech regarding why we brought him back. Something along the lines of:

"Child of the swarm. Your father has neeed of you. You are the soul of fear and the heart of terror among the agents of my now crippled swarm, and yet even as we heal we are thrust into war again. It is for this reason I have selected 'you' to take the war to our enemies. Gather your forces, and prepare them for battle in a moments notice, for I am deploying you to battle in the terran core worlds."

>>13166153
>>why haven't we "won" yet, are we supposed to be fighting the xelnaga, tyranids, AND the forces of the Frozen throne or someshit

the daleks will be joining our clusterfuck shortly

destroy the freighter as a testament to my divine might

So, decision on the freighter begins now.

5 minutes. Option with the most votes wins, as long as there are at least 3 votes for it.

Go.

What's left in the freighter of value? Is there anything of potential value for keeping?

Burn the freighter, also the planet, also do our best to evacuate those protoss colony worlds of all the delicious relics we could have Labrate abuse as well as our zerg.

we dont need kingston getting anymore protoss thingamajiggers than he needs "Read None"

>>13166242
A bunch of Terran buildings.

>>13166285
>burn freighter and planet

One vote? That's all we get?

rolled 71 = 71

seriously now, we should take this little bit of freighter, loot it (if we haven't already), and then turn it into a monument of the glory of the Zerg or something, because don't we have fifty trillion starships at our command or some shit, not including the korean mutalisks and overlords that we should have, because we're Zerg and shit

also why haven't we been wrecked yet doesn't our local terran enemy have marines, medics, AND goliaths? we should be finished because god damn aren't we unlucky

>>13166315
I'm not sure what you're talking about. The entire Swarm was burned to the ground around us not too long ago. We've gotten our Zerg assets back up, but we only have 3 battlecruisers and a few wings of wraiths for Terran ships, and 3 carriers with fewer scouts for Protoss ships.

We're not universe-spanning tyranids, man. We're the Zerg. And we've been getting our shit rocked.

>>13166302
The lack of accomplishment over the last 4 threads has lost us alot of peaple I would reason. Hell, I almost didnt bother this week.

>>13166346
As I recall didn't one of the marines activate some kind of transmitter before we took the freighter? Any idea what it's transmitting?

Doubt the freighter is safe to keep, maybe we could park it in orbit of Bernieworld and see what it lures to us.

rolled 84 = 84

>>13166346
>>We've gotten our Zerg assets back up, but we only have 3 battlecruisers and a few wings of wraiths for Terran ships, and 3 carriers with fewer scouts for Protoss ships.

Do we have any koreans? because shit motherfucker we got this shit locked down - its not like we can POSSIBLY LOSE, RIGHT?

or maybe I'm just making useless non-sane choice posts to attempt to "bump" the thread, and lure all of the "zerg quest" regulars into this here thread so that they may fail horribly

but seriously, why don't we arm our zerg with stun batons and taser guns - nothing can top making your foes stunned and helpless while you robust them

and yeah
>>13166363
is right - we need more stimpacks so we can... zerg rush... those fucking terrans and win Zerg Quest League

>>13166382
Nope. As far as we can tell, there were no transmissions of any kind.

(Alright, seems like the general sentiment is going this way, at least)

We load all of our ground troops out of the freighter, including our newest infested Terrans, before the single zergling left behind restarts the engines. It sets them for overload as it drives the ship into the atmosphere of the planet.

The explosion is spectacular, raining fire over the colony below.

We begin to withdraw, our work here done.

On the edges of our colony on Torpis II, one of our third-wave colonies, tank fire shells our outlying creep colonies.

>>13166463
send a couple overlords that way, also tell accountant brate to stop saturating resource collection in that region of space.
no reason wasting larva that could be used as fodder on something as silly as drones

>>13166501
Redirect the third wave from construction to arming themselves?

rolled 61 = 61

>>13166501
BUT IF WE SENT THE DRONES INTO THE FIELD THEY CAN MAKE STRUCTURES LIKE MOTHERFUCKING SUNKEN AND SPORE COLONIES

AND WHATS SO BAD ABOUT MOVING UNIT CREATION ONTO THE BATTLEFIELD I SEE NOTHING WRONG WITH THIS AT ALL

BUT THEN AGAIN I THINK I MAY HAVE BEEN HIT ON THE HEAD WITH A TOOLBOX ONE TOO MANY TIMES

besides, zerglings cannot into the air, and you probably want more overlords too to carry the zerglings... cmon man why not just make more mutalisks like a champ and fucking shut down everything instead of footslogging through space

also - we need vultures, those motherfuckers can do anything

>>13166521
the entire third wave? No. But definatly anyother worlds in that solar system and the ones nearest to it.

>>13166463

Get to looking through our zerg units located on Torpis II. What exactly is going on there, aside from the immediate shelling?

Also, didn't we have overlords patrolling above our colonies? We shoulda been alerted to something like this as soon as anything non-cloaked enters our space.

>>13166580
Our colony on Torpis II and the systems nearest to it immediately begin building combat troops, but they are still small colonies.

The tank fire has destroyed our outlying creep colonies. The Creep begins to retreat as we see several marines marching forward.

>>13166622
Get some cloaked overlord there pronto.

>>13166613
Torpis II was the last colony in the third wave to get itself up and running. It is a very small colony. It has very little in terms of offensive units aside from a couple sunken colonies and a small group of zerglings. We have begun spawning mutalisks, but they are still in their eggs.

We have overlords patrolling the system around Xenta, but we have never enacted a policy of overlords surrounding our colonies. We've been working from a stealthy stance, recently.

>>13166662

Oh yeah. Almost forgot about the whole not wanting to be discovered after the death of the whole Overmind thing.

I second what Tucamp said. Get some cloaked overlords there, and get a good sitrep.

Also, consult with the Cerebrate Science Triumvirate. Can we start spawning our mobile hatchery worms en masse now?

Henceforth, all our worlds and colonies regardless of size will have a handful of cloaked overlords patrolling the surrounding space at all times.

>>13166655
Our overlords on Torpis haven't been outfitted with cloaking devices, as we generally send units to receive those after the colony has become large enough to start producing units for our Swarm at large. Still, we have not forgotten how to use them stealthily, as the Swarm did for many years before our cloaking devices.

Three tanks are moving back out of a siege posture as a group of perhaps 20 marines marches forward to scout for them. Should we continue to watch them? Should we try to find out where they are coming from?

>>13166703
We can spawn the Hatchworm. They work wonderfully well too. Hurray for testing them last thread.

>>13166703
Nargil has given them its approval. The others remind us that they were used successfully in our most recent fight.

>>13166720
Accountantbrate grumbles loudly about sending more overlords to watch over colonies that don't need them yet.

We plan to do it anyway.

>>13166724

Get a few zerglings to stealthily backtrack where the tanks were coming from. They've gotta leave huge tank tread marks as they truck on through.

Also seconding having stealthy overlord scouts keeping an eye on things.

>>13166724
Watch them, have our collection of zergling burrow in their presumed path. Have two overlords continue to watch this group, and have the remainder backtrack their route to find where they came from.
>papolum double
captch has a new drink for you Cerebrate Anon, and it's a double

Alrighty then, last time there was a motion to take the freighters cargo through neutral space to yoshus.

From there we'd use the buildings to bolster our freaky deaky terran forces.

>>13166794
Sadly they blew it up before I got here to tell them to stop.

>>13166765

>Hatchworms spawning works

Excellent. Can they burrow and/or move when burrowed?

If so, maybe we can start spawning a few on Torpis II and have them burrow underground. They might not be able to move real quick when burrowed, but at least we'll have a mobile force that isn't easily detectable by sight. Maybe even hold some of them back and start creating colonies in vast underground cave systems.

>>13166794
>>13166826
(I told them there were buildings in it. Meh)

>>13166774
>>13166789
The colony doesn't have many zerglings. If the ambush is to be successful, it will require all of them. How should we allocate them?

What the FUCK!
I'm late by an hour, and you chucklefucks destroyed a freighter full of Terran buildings that we could have used to bolster our war production? For what?!

By the Overmind, you fuckers have lost us precious production potential that could have gone to our dry docks over Yoshus!

>>13166850

In this case, I'd vote for trying to allocate our zerglings to an ambush point where they can tear up the tanks.

The scouting duties can probably be picked up by the Overlords no problem.

>>13166869
I feel the same way man.
>>13166877
Seconded.

>>13166869

Yeah, kind of a bummer.

But on the bright side, we don't have to worry about the possibility of hidden Terran nanoprobe technology that would've transformed our zerg into xenophobic savant-killers who ride around in miniature tanks with laser guns!

>>13166850
>The colony doesn't have many zerglings. If the ambush is to be successful, it will require all of them. How should we allocate them?
Allocate all zerglings to ambushing and crushing the scouting force.
Have our overlords attempt to backtrack and discover their landing zone; make sure that the overlords hang back to prevent being shot down by missile turrets.

>>13166869
i've got a toolbox and I'm not afraid to use it!

also clearly we need more forces in this little skirmish, because zerglings cannot all of these tanks

maybe if we had something that could fly... we could do something about it

>>13166913
>i've got a toolbox and I'm not afraid to use it!
Part of my anger is directed at you, too, fucker.

>>13166911
>>13166906
>>13166877
Alright, I think we've got a consensus on ambushing the tanks and marines, and having the overlords scout for the Terran landing zone.

>>13166869
(I like this righteous indignation. 10 points to Gryphindor. Also, a close reading of your post might remind you guys of something relevant!)

>>13166911
>>13166906
>>13166877
The zerglings burrow nearby the sunken colony that appears to be next in line for a tanking. They hear the marines joking about how stupid these bugs are.

Our overlord bustles along, following the tank's tracks, until it sees a supply depot. There are three firebats idling near the depot.

Three mutalisks hatch.

For future reference, could we crop a larval hatchworm in subterranean tunnels or water pipes to have it grow and sprout units remotely?

>>13167031
Relevant like the fact that they have a full base up and running and that we'll have to call in warbrate and the army? I'd like to find out where their base is first, and if we can take out their vanguard then all the better.

>>13167031

Uh... how's everything going at Yoshus?

Also, spawn some hatchworms at Torpis II.

>>13167045
Nargil is busy with its griptusk walrus, but it spares enough brain power to tell us offhand that the hatchworms are too large to travel by overlord. Internbrate verifies this, explaining that the overlords cannot maintain air-speed velocity with that cargo. Labbrate theorizes that two overlords could carry it if they had it on a line.

>>13167080
Not only that, but consider that the Confederacy is using pre-fabbed structures, not ones built on-site. That's very dangerous for us. If they clear a landing zone, they can have an entire base with turret defenses set up in less than half an hour. They could strike anywhere, from anywhere.
And the expense! The amount of resources and production going into this means that the Confederacy, truly all of the Terrans, are on a full-war footing.

We must increase war production, and ensure that the shipyards at Yoshus are completed and laying down hulls.

>>13167111
Or they could grip it with their claws. By that doesn't answer the question of what the air speed velocity of an unladen overlord is?

Couldn't help myself

>>13167080
>>13167103
Warbrate reports that our forces over Yoshus are ready to strike at Torpis the moment we give the word.

(Just wanted to make sure you guys remembered we HAD that force)

>mcdoctig major
I think Captcha's suggesting a Dr. Who crossover. No, Captcha. Though you're right, that would be a pretty major thing.

>>13167134
(It could be carried by an African overlord!)

>>13167161
But African overlords don't fly.

Doesn't change the fact that we could just build a terran platform or two and transport dozens of them and then transport them to the surface. No sense in transporting them over long distances.

>>13167139

I still want my Zergleks!

But anyhow.

Consult Labbrate & Internbrate. In SC2, Stettman was able to improve terran technology by applying principles from Zerg matter to techy bits. Would it be possible for the Swarm Science Corps. to improve the Swarm by applying Terran technological principles to Zerg biomatter?

>>13167139
>Warbrate is ready to strike at our command
Good. Have him send a cloaked overlord to scout the system first, while our already in-system overlords continue looking for other Terran landing zones. I find it hard to accept that they would only have a single supply depot in the middle of nowhere.

>>13167212
... terran genetics are useless, and we have gausslisks siege ultralisks, and cloaking harnesses... what more do you want?

>>13167255
emp scourge.

>>13167255

I dunno. Terrans are always inventing all sorts of new fangled stuff. While Gausslisks and Ultrasiegetankalisks are great, that's more like using Zerg stuff to enhance already existing Terran tech, or just slapping on Terran stuff onto Zerg units... although the Gausslisk might be stretching that definition a bit.

>>13167271
FUND IT!

>>13167271
He...actually has a point. The Terrans already have EMP weaponry with their Ghosts, and if we could recreate it with a Scourge, it could give us a sizable tactical advantage against the Terrans.

If doesn't have to completely fry their computers; just cause the sensors, fire control systems, and targeting computers to overload for a minute, requiring that they reboot their systems.

>>13167212
>In SCII

(There's your problem. I'm willing to take some of the things they did in that game under advisement...maybe...a little...but that it happened there isn't an indication that it'll work here at all. Anyway, you'll have to be much more specific)

>>13167239
Warbrate obliges quickly. The overlords arrive in the system and cloak. Where should they go?

(HINT: the overlord stopped as soon as it found TERRAN BUILDINGS AND UNITS. You could order it to keep going into this base, but you're likely to lose an overlord if you do)

We need Ghostlords to disable high tech

>>13167331
By Ghost I assume you mean Science Vessles. Why do people always assume it's SC2?
>>13167350
Keep going overlord, find me that base.

>>13167350

Have the Overlord that scouted the Firebats & Supply Depot try to locate any tracks or something. 20 marines, a few firebats, and a few siege tanks landing in a remote world with only one supply depot does not make any kind of sense.

>>13167408
The overlord continues past the supply depot. We hear loud chuckling from the firebats. Almost immediately, the overlord is bombarded with missile fire from a turret.

>>13167350
The cloaklords that arrived in-system are to split up.
Some are to head towards Torpis II to see if there are still ships in orbit.
The others are to begin a sweep of the system, to see if the Terrans decided to stay out of immediate detection range, or if there are ion trails indicating that they already warped out to the next planet.

As for the overlords on the planet, we need to know where the primary Terran drop zone is, so that we can target it. I believe that the loss of an overlord is an acceptable price to pay to get this recon data.
Make sure that the overlords try to stay out of sight of the firebats, though. No need to prematurely warn the enemy.

>>13167408
what's wrong with lockdown?

emp is kind of nice but all you get from it is the enemy's lack of mana, which does not stop them from using guns on you

it is pretty nice against toss though, stripping their shields

even though ghosts suck because they cost too damn much and are worthless by the time you can get them... really if the terrans used the might of the toolbox there would be no zerg, the protoss would be our bitches, and the xelnaga would just implode

>>13167460
Were the other overlords able to track the origin point of those missiles? They should be able to then figure out where the turrets are, and avoid them to press on.

>>13167460
It's not dead yet is it? Make it keep going. It's armor should be able to take a bit of punishment.

>>13167475
So you want to do SCIENCE. I see no problem with this. I was actually what I was hoping Terran Quest would turn into, crazy Zakharov/Morgan gestalt.

>>13167475
>Ghosts are worthless

(Well, in the first game their main use was as the Nuke Pointer. Also, as a late game dick move, firing while cloaked just to annoy your opponent. In the second game, though, once you get that "Ghosts are always cloaked" improvement, they're godly. That entire "save drop pods" mission on Char just consisted of me laughing while my 8 ghosts rocked everybody's shit. The Swarm was too retarded to send overlords to spot them)

>>13167567
The overlord presses on, its carapace deflecting a lot of the missile fire. It is able to detect a starport on the other side before it is finally killed.

>>13167500
The other two overlords split up, each going around the turret. They are also assaulted by missile fire. One of them is able to pull back before it dies. The other detected a machine shop just before its demise.

>>13167461
The overlords detect a freighter like the one we recently destroyed pulling out of Torpis' atmosphere. It appears to be preparing for a warp jump.

>>13167475
>emp is kind of nice but all you get from it is the enemy's lack of mana, which does not stop them from using guns on you
Just because it wasn't in the original game, doesn't mean we can't get it.

Being able to take the targeting computers of Wraiths, Goliaths, Battlecruisers, and even temporarily blinding missile turrets, would give us an opening against the Terrans, as well as being able to bring the shields of Protoss units down.

>>13167667
Let's wait for it to warp away. While it's doing that have the cloaked overlords check to see if there are any ships in orbit. Then we send in warbrate and the swarm. And this time lets infest some useful people this time.

>>13167690
Second.

If I'm reading the strategic situation right, Kingston is using freighters to drop entire military bases, completely self-sufficient, onto these planets.
No lengthy siege, keeping fleets in orbit for days as a beachhead is secured. Just drop some pre-fabs and soldiers, then move on to the next planet.

>>13167690
I'd prefer to go smash up their out-jumping giant bit of resources, if possible. That's just me.

>>13167690
>>13167726
>>13167730
Disagreement going on, here. What'll it be?

>>13167730
You assume that their forces on the planet are not also a large investment in resources. The reason I want the freighter to leave before the attack is due to the reason that we don't have full knowledge of the situation in orbit, and I figure it will take more time to get that information then the freighter will remain in the system.

>>13167737
My vote depends on whether the freighter is being escorted, and if other Terran ships were detected in the system by the other overlords.

If the freighter is currently defenseless, we should attack it and attempt to take it, preferably with the navcom intact this time.

>>13167755
>>13167756
(Oh, my bad. It's got approximately 30 wraiths escorting it. There are no BCs, that we can tell)

>Wassupp Crepidula
Nothin' much, Captchadula!

>>13167780
Well now that we know that, lets have warbrate take care of it.

>>13167780
>It's got approximately 30 wraiths escorting it. There are no BCs, that we can tell
Hmm...if we send our forces massed at Yoshus, this escort can be wiped away easily, right?

If Warbrate gives good odds for being able to capture the freighter, then I vote to capture it.

>>13167819
>>13167816
Warbrate's forces appear like an avenging firestorm, mutalisks and scourge washing the escort away in moments. A dropship detaches from the freighter as it continues spooling for its jump. The dropship takes heavy fire before it jumps away. It might not arrive at its destination intact. We pound the freighter, disabling its engines completely. It is dead in space.

If this one had the same starting supplies as the other, we may have now disabled 2/3 of the invading force.

Let it jump and track where it jumps to.

>>13167872
Damn. too late

Our zerglings pop up as the tanks crash by, clawing and thrashing at them. They destroy two tanks and severely damage the last before they are taken down.

Our colony on Phelsun VI is under attack by cloaked wraiths.

>>13167879
>>13167872
(Sorry)

>Flognavy 1875
I don't much care for your historical commentary, Captcha.

>>13167883
Phelsun VI huh. Alright warbrate goes there now. We'll get that last freighter out of operation, and then clean up this mess.

>>13167883

Looks like Kingston's trying to establish a front.

What's Phelsun IV look like? Similar 3rd-wave colony world type situation like Torpis II?

>>13167914
Leave Torpis II and its disabled freighter to their own devices?

>>13167883
Leave behind a sizable boarding party to take over the freighter and prevent the crew from self-destructing.

Warbrate should then direct the remainder of his forces to Phelsun VI.

Accountantbrate will need to release more minerals to allow Defensebrate to begin creating a second force at Yoshus.

>>13167928
It is a ball of ice. Its resource potential is fairly high, as much of the ice contains trace amounts of Vespene. It is slightly better defended that Torpis, but the wraiths will be able to destroy several buildings before they encounter one of its few spore colonies.

>>13167943
>>13167937
Don't forget to send overlords to Phelsun VI. Those wraith are already cloaked. But yes, boarding party, and that doesn't need mutalisks and scourge.

>>13167943
>>13167966
Warbrate drops overlords into the system to begin capture of the freighter as it jumps the rest of our Zerg fleet to Phelsun.

Our cloaked overlord patrols begin to leave for each of our colonies, as their early-warning system.

The boarding parties meet heavy resistance. Only one airlock was undefended. It seems that the troops on this ship were better prepared for us. After a few minutes, all but two of our parties have been killed, and their overlords have retreated. Gorn takes the initiative to load up more ground troops at Yoshus and sends them for relief. The two teams probably have a few minutes to work before the breach is detected and the Terrans retaliate. How should they proceed?

>>13167937
No, we leave behind a boarding party, more than necessary, just to be sure some mutalisks too in case we need to take out the bridge from the outside again.
Torpis can be handled later; our colony should be able to hold.

As for Phelsun VI, a recon unit of cloaked overlords to precede Warbrate's main attack force.

>>13168047
Have Gorn seize the ship. Suggest going to the bridge first. Problem solved.

>>13168047
The bridge will likely be heavily defended again; but that's also where the self-destruct is located.

Could a team of Zerg get to the cargo holds and open the cargo bay doors, so that the second wave of boarders could enter the ship that way?

>>13168066
>>13168073
>Head for the Bridge: 1
>Open up the Cargo Bay: 1
>Attack Airlock defenses: 0

First to three wins!

>>13168073
That's not a bad idea. Still say we let Gorn take the ship, and hope he doesn't smash all the computer, but if he does there is still one more at Phelsun VI.

>>13168108
Oh yes, I also agree with letting Gorn take over boarding operations; he's more likely to kill the Terrans and ignore the computers anyway.

>>13168130
Just to clarify, I only meant to let Gorn direct the boarders; I'm still voting to enter via the cargo bays.

>>13168130
Except when he gets smashy. He's just as likely to inadvertently blowup the ship as he is to keep the computer core safe.

(Oh, cool. Let's not vote, then. Taking direct control)

We send our troops immediately to the Cargo Bays. We override the controls and open the Bays just as the Terrans begin firing on us. Defending the position is hard, but thankfully, Gorn's troops arrive quickly, and soon the hallway's atmosphere is draining as Zerg pour in. The boarding parties begin their trek toward the Bridge.

Overlords arrive before the fleet in Phelsun. They detect...nothing. The wraiths below have met the spore colony and one of the three was destroyed before the others retreated. Within moments, a team of firebats arrives to attack it. Moments after that, our fleet arrives in orbit. Should they assist Phelsun?

Our overlord over the third-wave colony of Pageo X has just arrived, and detected a freighter with wraith escort. It appears to be moments away from jumping out of the system.

Tank fire resumes on Torpis' defenses.

(Reminder: Bernie's willing to be somewhat autonomous. If you feel like ordering him out, you can do so without interrupting your combat too much)

>>13168303
What's on Pageo X? Anything really important?

>>13168343
Pageo is the best-developed of our third-wave colonies, and the closest to the second wave. It is a jungle world, with a respectable amount of minerals and an extensive underground cave network that we have no yet mapped.

>>13168303
Is the Overlord in the Pageo system able to track where the freighter is heading? If so, Bernie is to be unleashed to stop that freighter when it arrives at its destination; he can do what he wants with the Terrans, but we want the machines intact.

Warbrate is to detach a full 2 squadrons of mutalisks, 24 of them, with a flight of Scourge and a cloaked overlord to hunt down and destroy the Wraiths hiding in the Phelsun system.
He is to then take the rest of his forces and warp to the Pageo system, where there will undoubtedly be a Terran outpost in the midst of being created. He is to capture it.

Gorn, once he secures the freighter, is to go down and destroy the Terrans on Torpis. Remind him that he can kill the Terrans, but leave the machines intact.

TRACE THAT FREIGHTER!

I want to know where it's going.

>>13168303
It seems that Kingston has learned that Zerg worlds should be left alone. Have warbrate take care of what's on Phelsun, then Torpis. Tell Berrnie to follow that most notably terran freighter.

>>13168303
Can we tell where the freighter dropped its cargo?

>>13168368
What? Wait, shouldn't we scout the area the freighter warps to first? You know, to keep our forces from warping into the middle of an attack fleet?

>>13168438
>Wait, shouldn't we scout the area the freighter warps to first? You know, to keep our forces from warping into the middle of an attack fleet?
I assume that scouting a system before the bulk of a fleet warps in is a SOP that we've implemented, given our careful and cunning nature.
That, and Bernie is controlling the fleet that's warping to that freighter's destination, using forces pulled from HIS world.
I don't think we have to worry much.

>>13168368
>>13168382
>>13168383
We pull the cloaked overlord as close to the hull of the freighter as we dare. Employing the very easiest method of tracking, we have it prepare for its own jump and, just as the ship begins to rumble, its engines kicking it out of normal space, the overlord grabs ahold of the hull with several tentacles and jumps to warp with it. The spatial currents drag the overlord along with the freighter, and several moments later, it arrives (rather shaken, but fine) with the freighter above a world we have not seen before. It kicks its cloaking device into action, but we know it probably won't survive long enough for that. We glace at the sky for reference points quickly before the wraith escorts blow it to pieces. Labbrate begins work triangulating the position.

Gorn's boarding parties over Torpis storm the Bridge, tearing Terran forces apart. With that secure, they begin their room-by-room extermination program.

Tank fire on the surface has increased, indicating that more tanks have been dispatched to replace those we destroyed.

Warbrate sends part of the fleet down to Phelsun to destroy the base there, keeping the rest in orbit. It is pretty easy to spot the base from above, and with this large a force, also easy to destroy it with minimal losses for us. We try to keep as much of it in working order as possible as we kill the Terrans. Once more, a dropship attempts to flee the scene, but our scourge intercept it before it can break orbit. Nothing remains of it.

>>13168473
(When did we bring Bernie in on this operation?)

>>13168529
My vote, since you said Bernie would be capable of independent operation, was to send Bernie and his forces to the destination of the freighter leaving Pageo, while Warbrate takes care of Phelsun and the likely Terran base that was dropped on Pageo. Gorn was to take care of finishing capturing the freighter in the Torpis system, and then send more ground troops to reinforce our colony on the planet before counter-attacking the Terran base.

>>13168582
Sounds alright to me.

>>13168582
(well, I meant if you guys wanted to send him off on his quest to rape the core worlds -- though I wouldn't use those words, unless you actually want the planets violated sexually -- not to help with this operation. You could bring him in, if you got some support from the others...but you're not getting any of that machinery back intact. I'm calling that already)

Find sizable moon and prepare to warp it at Tarsonis. Get the commander of one of the Terran fleets on the phone and demand to speak directly with Kingston. Tell him to cease attacks on zerg worlds or we destroy Tarsonis, no fucking around. When he predictably says no, drop the moon on Tarsonis.

>>13168625
>but you're not getting any of that machinery back intact.
If that's the case, then I think we should send Bernie on his Rape the Confederacy Tour. He is to be given free reign to do as he wills, but remind him that we will not be able to resupply him easily, so he should keep that in mind.
And if he spots Kerrigan, inform us immediately.

All other orders in >>13168582 still stand.

>>13168663
Also threaten to unleash Bernie on a single world. He won't know what we mean, but he'll see. Oh how he'll see.

Will also get us some fleshings

>>13168663
We couldn't even warp a moon when we had Tsinoseng. Zerg world was dragged places, and I am not allowing you to revive that idea. Besides Kingston wont negotiate with the Zerg. But more importantly WE WILL NOT NEGOTIATE WITH KINGSTON!!!!!

>>13168663
Yea, no. I don't think that will work.

But loosing Bernie to rape a few population hubs might just scare the terrans off. Bernie is just too bizarre to inspire the kind of desire for revenge that an attack by a normal brood would.

We have to televise the entire thing. So all terrans know the horror of bernie.

>>13168710
Pardon, I don't mean Protoss warp. I mean, FTL zerg hyperspace warp. Like we did with zerg world before getting the giant crystal.

>>13168683
(Heh. "KINGSTON. This is your only warning. Remove your forces from Zerg space immediately, or Bernie shall be released." "What the hell does that mean." "YOU WERE WARNED")

Gorn continues exterminating all life on the frieghter, but takes the time to send ground forces from Yoshus. The tanks are dispatched quickly, and Gorn's forces (primarily ultralisks and zerglings) rush the Terrans' defenses. Within a few minutes, the outer defenses are breached, and the ultralisks are attacking units as they leave buildings. Several of the buildings lift off and begin to float away. Two dropships go ahead.

Warbrate dispatches the Terrans on Phelsun quickly, leaving the remaining buildings for later recovery. It regroups its fleet and prepares to move to Pageo.

>>13168749 see >>13168710 we dragged the damn thing, it never warped anywhere, and dragging it took the resources of an entire system. If we couldn't warp planets using tsinoseng then we can't ever warp planets, or moons or asteroids.

>>13168798
>well, drag the damn moon then. It's not as large as a planet and so should not use anywhere as much resources, but a moon is still large to fuck up Tarsonis while not getting blown up before it hits.

>>13168791
>Several of the buildings lift off and begin to float away. Two dropships go ahead.
Tell one of our reserve Cerebrates that we've got a job for it. Have it take some Mutalisk and Scourge squadrons and stop those ships and buildings from escaping.

Then get another one, and have it begin salvaging the freighter that Gorn secured. It is also to take control of the forces on Phelsun and begin salvage operations of the Terran base there.

>>13168791
Follow those dropships with something. the base we know of may just be a front line thing. There could be another somewhere.

Do a sweep of the planets if possible. If one of the terran bases has a comstat station make sure to get it intact. It'll make searching out leftover terrans much easier.

>>13168835
Zerg World was a moon. It still took strip mining a solar system to move it anywhere. A cheaper idea would be to just build some terran space platforms.

Was it not part of our plan to initiate the space race?

Also, which of you retards ordered the freighter burned?
Prepare to release Berney. And Gorm.

>>13168845
(Ah, but which one? Toaster? Wormface? Salem Saberhagen?)

Gorn scrambles scourge from Yoshus, but they may not arrive in time to catch the dropships. They will definitely intercept the buildings.

>>13168882
Zerg world was a planet

quit trying to crush my dream :(

>>13168791
Are we really using bernie? If so make sure to keep an eye on what he does. If we don't we won't likely be able to tell what size of a force he went up against from the scattered scrap left after he's had his fun.

>>13168901
Bernie? Waste anything that could be raped?
Whatchyoutalkinboutwillis?

It will be like the planets left behind in a wave of tyranids.

>(Ah, but which one? Toaster? Wormface? Salem Saberhagen?)

Who the fuck named those cerebrates?

>>13168886
>Also, which of you retards ordered the freighter burned?
Dumbfuck shitposters near the beginning of the session.

We would have initiated the race, but Gorn was needed to help with this little Terran problem.
Bernie is still good to go, though.

>>13168913
Alright. Lets Initiate the race now.

ANd its time we had a brood all to our-self.

hmm... Can we combine this worm, which produces stuff, with our buildings? and thus de-centralize the command hub of the hives and such?

>>13168893
(It was a moon. Sorry. Also, I let it work because I was tired of crushing all of your silly dreams, so I let the idea of something literally dragged through space by overlords work across the interstellar void. I'm much more used to crushing dreams, now...)

>>13168886
(Another vote to unleash Bernie on an enemy. Be aware that this is most definitely a war crime. Many war crimes. So many war crimes. Anyway, one more person asks for it, and I'll do it)

>>13168892
Toaster is to do salvage; he's the clean-up crew, to make sure that there are no survivors un-Infested and to make sure that all enemy resources are turned to serving the Swarm.

Wormface is to attempt to intercept those drop ships before they warp out, or at least try to follow them. Have him take some cloak overlords for that purpose.

>>13168912
I did because they haven't been named yet, and those have been the official unofficial names since we got them.
>>13168892
Since this has to do with securing tech I'd say Toaster.

>>13168930
And the experimentation on the zerg that Kingston has done is not a war crime? Feh.

>>13168930
War crimes? in a universe that commits genocide as a matter of habit?
Cerabrate anon, I would have thought better of you. The protoss commited genocide, or at least tried to. The terrans, by their very rule, commit warcrimes daily.

It is not for you to question why we have restrained ourselves to this point.

Unleash it.

We have the ability, and the neccesity to do it.

Release Bernie! But do not look away from is acts, he must be watched.

>>13168930
Fuck I've been suggesting loosing bernie on the terrans for a couple of threads now. nobody payed any attention though.

Where do we send him first?

>>13168930
Did you count my vote to unleash Berrnie on the Confederacy?
>>13168937
And Salem Saberhage just has to: try to make money through get rich quick schemes, try to take over the world, wear silly costumes, be a cat, etc.

>>13168970
>Where do we send him first?
Doesn't Kingston have a summer home somewhere?

>>13168970
His goal: to bring KINGSTON's head to us, on a stick.

As is the rest of the swarms goals.

Total warfare, consumption, and zerg initiation.

His choice at this point.

>>13168970
One of the core worlds. Record it, we can show the footage while trying to get colonies to volountarily subit to the swarm.

Is not submission preferable to RAPERAPERAPE?

>>13168970
Tyradoor IX! We must destroy KINGSTON'S BEACH HOUSE!

>>13168988
>>13168996
Beach house. Summer house. Same thing, and it's on Tyrador IX... along with a decent chunk of the Confederacy ruling families.

>>13168996
That reminds me... we planned on doing kingstons barbecue, and releasing footage of them being captured and subjegated by the swarm... make him seem like he was infested...

Sow the seeds of dissent.

Also, we need to make the swarm... Preferable to Bernie, and KINGSTON's rule... Sitcoms?

Tyrador IX it is!

>>13169017
This is your brain. This is your brain after viewing the eldritch horror that is Bernie. And this is what happens to your body. Any questions?

Paid for by the Council for an Infested Tomorrow.

>>13169016
>along with a decent chunk of the Confederacy ruling families
My one fear with eliminating the ruling families, is that we end up killing the stupid ones holding the Confederacy back, and allowing the smart ones to take the reigns and make the enemy not just competent, but actually smart.

Our contact with Bernie is distressing, as always. Its world is a nightmare of horrible things. It seems that it has developed a transparent carapace, so that the internal organs can be seen clearly at various points during...festivities.

It delights at our plan. It begins to rally its forces immediately. We notice a massive sphere being filled with white fluid before being picked up in a sort of hammock by overlords. We refrain from asking about it.

Warbrate's fleet arrives at Pageo, and begins searching for the intruders. It takes less than twenty minutes to ravage the base. There are no survivors. Warbrate is pleased with the efficiency of this operation.

Gorn's scourge intercept the fleeing Terrans. They target the engines of the buildings, letting gravity deal with the rest. They reach the dropships just as they are jumping out of the system. One of them appears to escape more or less unharmed. The other takes a critical hit just as its engines initialize, spreading debris in a straight line that stretches several miles across space. Artisanlord seizes upon this idea, and requests a dozen wraiths for a complex art piece.

Anon has fought off Terran incursions on three worlds, this day. It has disabled half of the remaining invasion freighters, and may have located the last. It has unleashed Bernie and its horrible, horrible brood on the Confederacy!

Tune in next week for Zerg Quest 24: The Rapening!

>>13169105
Before you go we must give Artisanlord those wraiths. Nothing is more important than his art!

http://suptg.thisisnotatrueending.com/archive/13165814/

Archived. Only 3 images, this time. I really ought to get back to posting those things. Probably makes less of an impact on suptg's bandwidth, though. Whatevs.

>>13169105
Have artiasian lord build a memorial to both humanity, the protoss, and the zerg. Design it so that each is of a major significance, where they are protecting each other, from an unkown threat.

Make it clear, that this threat would not be possible for any two races to beat, and that all 3 must work together. Subtly imply that the threat is Bernie.

>>13169133
Artisanlord immediately sets to tearing out chunks of the wraiths' engines. We're never getting those back.

>>13169158
Artisanlord tells us in no uncertain terms that it is busy. It continues sabotaging its wraiths.

>>13169173
So, is he making a exploration of the gentler side of orbital interactions pertaining to the understanding of left handed zeglings?

>>13169193
I suppose left clawed zerglings would be more accurate.
