THERE IS NO DIVISION IN THE REALM OF GALACTUS

>

Over an otherwise insignificant Terran agricultural planet, our four carriers (one of them, unfortunately, immobile) are faced with a large fleet of sleek metallic craft of unknown origin, carrying with it an impressive supply of nuclear missiles.

Broadcast a broad "What is your purpose here?" message. cease destruction and prep to run with all available units. Also prep the damaged carrier for a cleansing/self destruct.

>

Finally, a damaged Terran dropship, confirmed to have 10 Terrans aboard, has just arrived at Shakuras. It is broadcasting a distress call, and the single Confederate battlecruiser left in the system is turning to intercept.
Move to intercept it. disable the battlecruiser.

>>13929039

If I remember correctly, we snagged a scientist right before the Zerg ground & air assets steamrolled the superweapon.

If we haven't already, have the Overlord with the scientist loaded on it warp out to safety when possible.

What forces do we have that are within reach of Shakuras?

>>13929074
(Yeah...all we have at Shakuras is a cloaked dropship we were testing as an observer. You could warp your Terran units in to do this, but that would mean all of our aerospace assets would be committed out of Zerg-controlled systems)

>>13929039

Would it be possible to track where the new, metallic ships with nuclear ordinance warped in from?

here is an idea for future assaults.

Bring in our protoss guns, and have cloaked zerg move in in overlords to population centers. Evacuate the city while having our protoss burn it, and have a few mutalisks run interference on the protoss. We move our zerg units off planet and jump away to a "haven" planet. Then we infest the shit out of volunteers.

>>13929116
How about tracking, or landing on the battlecruiser? sort of as an infiltration unit?

>>13929125
Impossible, at present.

>>13929145
This is possible, but carries a pretty high chance of detection. Cloaking doesn't change the fact that we'll be physically attached to their hull, altering their weight distribution and warp drag.

>>13929182
lets focus on the silver ships first then.

>>13929232
(You guys can let Gorn and Warbrate handle the Terrans if you like, but you'll need 3 votes as always. Ignoring the dropship will be the same way...and, theoretically, if you just want to sit there and watch what the silver ships do, you can. I guess)

>>13929297
>Broadcast a broad "What is your purpose here?" message. cease destruction and prep to run with all available units. Also prep the damaged carrier for a cleansing/self destruct.

(Let's see some voting up in this bitch)

bumpin for votes

>>13929297

>Silver ships

Have our protoss assets ready to warp out. Have our damaged carrier ready to self-destruct in the most complete way possible. Attempt to hail the vessels.

>Lone Dropship

Could possibly be a dropship that got lost in the warp to the battle at Shakuras. But it may be more likely that they're scouts of some sort. It might be worth nabbing it to see what intel they've acquired.

>Incoming Terran Fleet

I'm leaning towards confronting the Terran fleet... although those silver ships have me worried that it might be a new Terran prototype ship.

>>13929378
Voting:
>Stay in command of the battle at Tyrador
>Do not contact the silver ships. All we have in that system is protoss assets, and I'd rather no one had even the slightest possibility of learning that fact. Just be ready to run if they try to engage. Self-destruct the carrier that can't leave in that case.
>Keep an eye on the dropship for now

>>13929417
ill agree to the dropship part there. how should we nab it?

(Reminder: all we have in the system is a cloaked dropship. Kingston has a BC there. If you want to take the dropship, you'll have to bring forces into the system)

>>13929467
Let the Cera's handle it. Bring some of our terran forces in under command of a diffrent cerabrate and have them evacuate some portions of the planet.

>>13929453

From the way Cerebrate Anon was telling it, it would seem that all of our air/space units are currently tied up (excluding our Terran stuff). We'd basically send in our Terran stuff to disable the Battlecruiser (or otherwise pre-occupy it) and then nab the Dropship with our other Terran vessels (boarding it or otherwise).

Our Zerg worlds will be undefended from Space attacks, however.

>>13929497
The simple answer would be to bring in a minimal amount of forces, and do a quick run on the dropship. Maybe attach a nuke or something to it. Then we can either catch it, or let it go and blow up the battlecruiser.

Do we have any way of helping the cerebrates?

Contact the silver ships and prepare to bolt?

Just watch the dropship?

>>13929497
(This is accurate)

(A challenger arrives? VOTE)

>>13929624
um... I am actually CeraBOT.

I forgot to change the name earlier...

>>13929632
(Huh. Good to know. Well, welcome all the same)

>>13929624

Have our cerebrates handle Tyrador, that's what they're there for, after all. If possible, route additional zerg forces to them.

Open a channel with the unknowns facing our toss.

Our dropship in the Shakuras system should attempt to snag any traffic between the dropship and battlecruiser for future decryption. Other than that, it should hold position.

On another note, I move we move to TOTAL war footing, and ramp up production to highest possible level if it isn't there already.

Also, retrofit our Siege Tanks and MK2's with the new armor.

>>13929670
Again in agreement with this.

its DIPLOMACY TIEM!

Ill be back, studying for tests tomorrow call.

We should control the forces at Tyrador manually.

On the Shakuras situation, I vote option 3: Do nothing ourselves, but apprise Kerrigan of the development.

>>13929670
Let the cerebrates handle Tyrador: 2
NO! WHAT MADNESS IS THIS: 1
(Despite my usually-strict 3-vote policy, I'm going to go with this, because it'll let us get moving)

(Post forthcoming)

Okay, I'm off by a few threads, What exactly are our relations with Shakuras?

>>13929696
our sister is pulling strings over there.

its best to let unexploded grenades lay, or they might explode in our face.

>>13929692
I was just now going to vote for whats won.
>>13929744
That and Shakuras is a lifeless radioactive rock now thanks to Us/Kingston.

Gorn raves gleefully at the slaughter as it tears ships apart on arrival. Surviving Terrans on both worlds watch in awe at the explosions overhead as the Confederate battlefleet warps into the middle of our invasion forces. Warbrate positions what troops it can on the orbital platforms to provide support fire, but their impact isn't particularly deep.

<><><><>

We prep our ships for a hasty retreat or self-destruct as we cease firing on the surface of the planet. We fire up the holoprojectors, and transmit a message, "This is Praetor Antikus of the Conclave. Identify yourselves."

A moment passes before a text response comes back:
>Protoss ships identified
>Political status: Unknown
>This is the VoidGate AI. Terran extinction is underway. Vacate Terran space immediately.

<><><><>

The Battlecruiser takes the dropship into one of its landing bays. We move in closer, attempting to keep track of it. It's hard to be sure, but it appears that the dropship's passengers are being taken to the medical ward.

>>13929696
(Hard to have relations with a ball of molten glass)

>>13929813

Inform voidgate those ships are ours via the terrans we have in its base. Also, ask it where it got those ships so fast, we could use production shortcuts.

Route additional forces to Tyrador.

Keep our dropship at twice the 'safe' distance from the battlecruiser.

>>13929813
"I thought that was you VoidGate. It's me Cerebrate Anon. Say, you wouldn't happen to have a dropship near Shakuras would you?"

>>13929840
Inform Voidgate that those specific Protoss ships are ours. Other Protoss may not be so diplomatic.
Also inform it that there is a possible vulnerable target near Shakuras, a dropship and a battlecruiser.

>>13929813
>>13929840

Contact VoidGate, inform it that those protoss assets are ours via our Infested Terran proxy on its planet.

Then give VoidGate the system coordinates of Tarsonis & all the other major Terran power centers that we had the opportunity to attack earlier on. Give it some cursory data on the economic importance of those systems as well.

>>13929869

This.

Let them know how to cripple the Terrans, and we'll split their empire 65/35.

>>13929840
>>13929849
>>13929862
(You all agree on telling Voidgate we've got Protoss ships, but are we backing off of the dropship, asking VG about the dropship, or trying to get VG to hit the dropship/BC?)

>>13929888

Ask it about the dropship too, it couldn't hurt.

>>13929888
I like the idea that the mystery dropship belongs to VoidGate, and asking won't take particularly long.

>>13929888

Ask VG whether it has a damaged dropship on a burning world, we don't have to be more specific than that.

>>13929888

Ask it about the dropship first.

Can't we warpgate VoidGate to our battle in Tyrador to at least cause more disorder?

>>13929952

We're not allies, really. Asking it to assist us in battle is a bad precedent.

We don't want it to know our combat potential, if possible. VoidGate might decide we're the next target after the Terrans are gone.

>>13929952

Right now, we're tying up the Terran fleet with our zergy forces.

If VoidGate gets a chance to strike at Tarsonis or the other Terran major population centers with its SUPER HUEG nuclear ordinance, that will probably do a lot more to damage the Terrans in the long-term than forcing their main battle fleet to retreat. I think.

>>13929906
>>13929914
>>13929925
Our Infested Terran diplomat stands up and tells VoidGate that the Protoss ships are ours as we reply similarly from the ships themselves. After a few moments, the interface reads:

>Allied Zerg registered.
>Warning: Terran extinction underway.
>Extreme fallout likely.
>Caution recommended.

The ships immediately turn away from ours and fire off enough missiles to destroy all remaining Terran life on the world. The larger ships which have expended their payloads begin landing as the others turn, preparing to leave.

We ask if VoidGate has any damaged dropship units, to which it replies that it has no Terran dropship units at all.

The ships jump away.

<><><><>

Gorn is shouting rapaciously in our minds as it continues the fight in the Tyrador system. The most vicious fighting is happening in the very thin layer of space between the two planets' atmospheres, and so clouds of ichor and blood are forming in the upper atmospheres of both worlds.

<><><><>

It seems like more Terrans inside the ship are moving toward the medbay of the battlecruiser.

>>13930010

Looks like there's a situation in the infirmary.

Could this be the resurgence of our frightful season brothers?

>>13930010
Well, let's get to repairing that carrier, ask Artisanlord if he can find any meaning in the ichor cloud, and keep watching that mystery dropship... it's Dyles isn't it.

>>13930050
>>13930010

Also, we should probably get a sitrep from Warbrate about the conflict above Tyrador.

>>13930010

Can we ourselves direct our mind towards the battlecruiser to see if any freaky shit is occuring?

Again, I move the route additional zerg space assets to Tyrador

>>13930068

Have our dropship scan the Battlecruiser again. Check for any weapons fire or such going on.

>>13930068
(Pretty much all of our Zerg space units are already there. We could send our Terran units, if we wanted. Or our Protoss ones, now that they're apparently free)

>>13930050
Repairs are once again underway. Meanwhile, the ships notice VoidGate's forces have already begun construction of several factories, and two or three large drills have been unloaded from landed ships.

>>13930067
Warbrate estimates that the battle is nearly over. It grumbles that Gorn's complete lack of tactical awareness has caused us a lot of harm, so our forces are much worse off than they should be, but we will still destroy the fleet soundly. We'll just have fewer surviving units afterward.

<><><><>

We are detecting a lot of movement in the battlecruiser. Pulling in closer, we are able to detect alarm lights through unsecured windows.

>>13930135
Good thing we need to repair a carrier, cause I'm curious about the drilling. We could send terran assets to Shakuras to investigate if things get anymore interesting there, have them ready to warp in on on moment notice.

>>13930135

Kingston already knows we can create Terran assets. I suggest warping in some wraiths to take down stragglers or any ships that are attempting to flee.

I'd hold off on using our Protoss ships in a directly supportive manner, though. The less conformation that Kingston has on our protoss-building ability, the better.

>>13930135

Have Accountantbrate begin IMMEDIATE production of as many aerospace assets as possible. Damn the cost, we need to get as many space capable weapons system operational as possible. Any capital ships in production should get priority.

Prepare two battlecruisers and at least 6 wraith squadrons for transit to Shakuras to deal with the battlecruiser situation.

>>13930192
(You want to send them, or just have them ready?)

>Warbrate estimates that the battle is nearly over. It grumbles that Gorn's complete lack of tactical awareness has caused us a lot of harm, so our forces are much worse off than they should be, but we will still destroy the fleet soundly. We'll just have fewer surviving units afterward.

Can Artisanlord design a program of battles with zerglings to make Gorn study how to MAXIMUM BLOODSHED with minimal effort (encircling, focus fire, attack weak spot, destroy major threats, feinting, etc)

>>13930215

Would it be possible to have them drop out near Shakuras, but outside the system, so the travel time should we need them is negligible?

Would once again like to recommend a quick checkin with Kerrigan in the Shakuras system. That could be her on the battlecruiser, couldn't it?

And then, I suggest committing our Terran assets to buttfuck Kingston at Tyrador. The look on their faces when they think it's reinforcements warping in? Priceless.

>>13930216
Artisanlord is actually engaged in carving a mountainside on Yoshus to resemble a hydralisk holding hands with an archon and one of the cyborg endoskeletons we saw in VoidGate's factories.

>>13930238
(What? Coordinate our efforts? Old-school Zergtrollan? Are you a time-traveler from a different thread?)

>>13930216
But we already tried teaching Gorn about the finer points of culture, and he was confused by... was it a dancing infested protoss? True a play about war might interest him more, but what if we turn him into some kind of art critic, Artisanlord couldn't take the criticism of his work.

>>13930216

We should have the Zerg science corps. work on that on their spare time, with plenty of input from Defensebrate and Warbrate.

Or, when we have some spare time, have Warbrate educate Gorn (and possibly Bernie) on the finer points of war.

>>13930264

I agree with that anon. Troll the everloving shit out of whatever dregs are left. Also, if possible, broadcast it to the other Confederate worlds. Followed by ZergTV.

>>13930295
(There shall be no ZergTV until you guys vote on it! None, I say!)

(So, you guys want to do anything before time marches on?)

>>13930288
I don't know if Gorn, by its seniority and attitude, would make a good alumni for Warbrate's tuned operations. That's why I'm trying to give him BLOOD TV, BRINGING YOU THE BEST WAYS TO TEAR YOUR ENEMIES IN OPEN BATTLE.

>>13930295
And at eight-o-clock on Carpace Cuisinier it's the Protoss Nerve Cord Battle.

>>13930322

Ask VoidGate about a rough idea of what its plans are. We don't want to step on its robotic toes as we go about our infestation of Terran space. Perhaps we could even coordinate attacks with it.

>>13930356
Or we just let it go about it's nuking way and let it KILL ALL HUMANS.

>>13930322

I still stand by at least trolling the remaining fleet.

If we can, show their failure to at least one other confederate world.

Also, I'd LIKE to make ZergTV, but I'm not sure we have the resources to do so at the moment with our aerospace assets having just been depleted significantly.

>>13930322
>>13930374

Warp in some of our Terran aerospace assets. Let's clean up the battle at Tyrador. Also trolling beleaguered Terran battlefleet antics. Make them think that they're receiving some muchly-needed reinforcements. Then YAMATO THEM IN THE FACE.

>>13930407
Or just nuke them.
>>13930374
We could probably make ZergTV right now, but the point of it is becoming questionable as Kingston's fleet is gone and he's being attacked by VoidGate and, presumably, the Dark Templar. The Confederacy is not long for this sector. Which now has me worried about the UED again.

>>13930407
>>13930374
Our five battlecruisers and numerous wraiths warp in at the edge of the battle, like a gleaming cavalry. Broken distress calls and "Thank God you're here" transmissions light up our comm circuit.

We pull our forces up beside a beleaguered battlecruiser. It appears to be trying to punch a hole in our battle lines for an escape, which is exactly what its captain orders us to assist it with. The Yamato gun blasts across its midsection silence those orders, tearing the ship in half.

Scattered transmissions continue to come in, though most of the remaining fleet knows what this means. "My God, what are you doing?" "Those were people! Friendlies!" "What is going on, here?" "STAND DOWN! I REPEAT, STAND DOWN!"

Gorn laughs even louder. It loves the sound of enemy despair.

<><><><>

Every life sign on the battlecruiser is moving, now. What ones we can track from the infirmary are headed toward the Bridge and the Engine Room. Some of them are moving faster than baseline Terrans.

>>13930524
Transmit "Whoops, sorry, wrong button."
Then hit reverse and back into whatever ship is behind us.
Slapstick hijinx: ENGAGED.

>>13930524

I propose we use our psychic abilities to attempt to figure just what the fuck is happening to the BC at Shakuras.

As for Tyrador, I propose out battlecruisers begin filling the channels with spam. I have no idea what would be funny enough, though

>>13930563
(We don't have the kind of precision necessary to probe minds like that)

>>13930552

As funny as that would be, that would probably damage the battlecruiser (ours) severely. Let's get this battle over with.

>>13930563

I second trying to use our Zergy-sense to pick up anything on that Battlecruiser.
On another note, how are our colonization/troop production operations doing? Has the Zerg science corp. made any progress on unlocking the secrets of the Arbiter?

transmit in tyrador space:

WE ARE THE GIX. LOWER YOUR SHIELDS AND PREPARE TO BE ASSIMILATED. SURRENDER YOUR FLESH TO THE GLORY OF THE MACHINE.

fill the background with binary transmission noise.
make them think an adjutant uprising has occurred.. .and one has... just not theirs.

OR

STart transmitting human screams from the bridge of our ships. Have them list and keep firing, as if someone or something not familiar with the controls is in command. Have someone scream "LIBERATE TUTE ME" over the coms.

>>13930637

YOU FOOL, YOU WANT TO BRING EVENT HORIZON INTO THIS?

DO YOU KNOW WHAT MADNESS YOU WILL BRING?

>>13930637
>>13930524

No more hijinks! We need to stay focused on everything that's going on.

Can our battlefleet at Tyrador detect any other incoming vessels warping in? Or fleet buildups in neighboring systems?

>>13930664

WHERE WE'RE GOING, WE DON'T NEED EYES TO SEE.

>>13930679
There are no indications that help is coming for these ships. They all appear to be trying to fight their way to the edge of the fray in order to jump away, actually.

Keep firing. Transmit Trollface.jpg.

>>13930705

I don't think we need to. I think gorn's arranging ground forces into the image macro as we speak

>>13930704

Well that can't happen.

Intensify fire, concentrate on the ships closest to the edge of the battle.

>>13930692
>>13930664
>>13930637
Oh dear. Though I would say that the one by Shakuras might be closer, strange mystery and all that. So, lets send two of our BCs to check that out.

>>13930704

Have we trasmitted the locations of major Terran worlds and defense data to VoidGate yet?

Now would be an excellent fucking time.

ALRIGHTY! As of >>13930741 I believe we have an argument over how to use our pretty, shiny battlecruisers.

We have 5 of them, which are currently all blowing up stuff over Tyrador. Should they keep doing that, investigate Shakuras, or split up and do both?

Go.

>>13930704

Tap into the Terran newschannels with our hijacked satellite. Let's get a feel for how the Terrans are feeling about this shift in momentum.

Also, if possible, assemble a boarding team at Tyrador and try to infest a few battlecruisers; they might have some intel on what we can expect next from Kingston.

>>13930774
>>13930741

I'd be okay with 2 battlecruisers and a handful of wraiths investigating what's going on over the burnt remains of Shakuras.

>>13930774

Detach one battlecruiser, and 10 squadrons of wraiths to travel to Shakuras.

I also second mounting capture operations against the remaining Terran fleet, where possible.

>>13930774

Send A cruiser to Shakuras. Put any and all infestation capable zerg on the battlecruisers. Focus our fire on disabling, but not destroying, the enemy vessels.

WE WILL CONSUME THEM ALL.

also: save a few captive humans for Voidgate. Call them a planetwarming gift.

Is this the return of Halloween Zerg Quest Dude? I forget his name.

>>13930823
>>13930823

If we're correct about what's going on over Shakuras, infestation might be a very bad idea.

Still, a boarding team might be needed to investigate anyhow.

>>13930784
The Confederate news grid is partially overloaded. What networks are up and running are a mish-mash of claims of nuclear assaults on several fringe worlds, word of a massive Zerg assault on Tyrador, unconfirmed reports of a defeat (or victory, or ongoing battle) at Shakuras (though they don't have a name for the system at this time), and warnings are coming in that any ships from the Goryu system are to be destroyed on sight, though nobody seems to know why.

>>13930897

Wait, Goryu system?

What's there? Do we know anything about it?

>>13930897

Can we get a ship with extreme high resolution imaging equipment to drop out of space about 5 light minutes away from Goryu to see what's going on there?

>>13930897
Furthermore, reports are coming in of Protoss attacks on fringe worlds, and a Confederate officer swears that he was part of a secret invasion into Zerg space, to which our attacks are just a natural counterstroke. The interviewer obviously doesn't believe him, but that particular network's fact-checking department is known to operate in the Tyrador system.

>>13930823
>>13930820
>>13930812
We pull one of our cruisers and ten of our wraiths off from the battle. They set course for Shakuras, though it will take some time for them to arrive.

The rest of our fleet begins work to disable, but not destroy, the remainder of the Terran forces. Unfortunately, Gorn is not so restrained. Several ships are destroyed before Warbrate can organize a boarding party.

In Shakuras, we detect a lot of movement on the ship's Engine Room, but very little on its Bridge. Several compartments are vented to space, their occupants projected toward the planet's atmosphere.

>>13930914
We recall something about it being off-limits the last time we accessed the Confederate network, but not much more than that. It was some kind of Confederate storage planet.

...Any chance for a nice recap?

>>13930974
(I said 10 SQUADRONS, though!)

If we can, lets find a transmitter on Tyrador still functioning, and have Artisanlord start spamming ZergTV. Or just the broken remains of the terran fleet drifting in space.

>>13930974
Great Overmind...I'm late for one session and everyone forgets that we have Kerrigan's Overlord in orbit over Xenta.

Send a psychic transmission through the Overlord to Kerrigan, asking if it's her taking over the Battlecruiser in the Shakuras system; if not, then our forces will board it with extreme prejudice.

Have Toaster, Saberhagen, Wormface, ColonyLord, and Citybrate watch VoidGate's factory operations via our damaged Protoss Carrier; if it was able to build such a massive fleet in so short a time, we need to learn how it was able to do it.

>>13931011
Labbrate is very pleased to inform us that there is actually a small broadcast station mostly intact on Tyrador IX. With a little work, we could begin broadcasting whatever we liked.

(I reiterate my extreme dislike of all these dirty numbers. We've got more guns than the lone battlecruiser. Let's not get hung up on just how many more guns)

>>13931052
Last time we tried to call up Kerrigan, we got brushed off with an "I'm busy." I'm sure if she was interested in talking, we'd hear from her.

>>13931054
( I know, but 10 is a lot less than 120, next time I'll use 'several')

I vote for calling in Artisanlord to come up with stuff to spam the confederate networks with. Contact Kerrigan and find out if its her on the battlecruiser(unlikely, in my eyes)

Anyone else think we should get a high-res imager a few light minutes out from goryu to see if there's anything there to be concerned with?

>>13931084
Yes, but it would behoove us to check in with her to see if it's her forces on that battlecruiser before we board it.
Besides, it would be a nice thing to know, so that she doesn't panic when she finally wrests control of the battlecruiser from the Terrans, only to see a task force right outside the window.

>>13931084
Well what happened in that battlecruiser sounds like our little sister's handiwork, so I guess we should just come to the system and destroy it, Kerrigan might be inside.
So I guess we should try to contact her or use Kingston's psychic compass and check if she is there.

>>13931052
Kerrigan's voice enters our mind briefly to ask what we're talking about.

Apparently, it's not hers.

(Sorry I didn't do this when it was suggested earlier. All sorts of stuff going on)

>>13931052
It appears that the factories are producing more of the flying units and weapons. Several of the large ships are flying runs over various parts of the planet, dropping small harvester units that immediately begin to cannibalize surface resources.

>>13931101
>Anyone else think we should get a high-res imager a few light minutes out from goryu to see if there's anything there to be concerned with?
I'd rather send in one of our kludged together Terran Observers.
Actually, has Labbrate been able to get the thing to be able to maintain cloak through warp travel, like the Protoss Observers? Or will there be a few seconds where the thing will be visible before the cloak engages?

>>13931174

That's why I said a few light-minutes out. Should be far enough that we won't be detected, and with a powerful enough imaging suite we should be able to get a rough picture of the system.

>>13931146
So the nonhuman (unless I got wrong what you said earlier) signatures might be dark templar, IMHO it would be better to destroy the ship as soon as possible.

>>13931174
(Actually, in order to make sense of things, observers come into a system decloaked, too. I know it's not exactly how Blizzard had things, but Blizzard doesn't always have things how Blizzard had things, so I'm ok with that)

We aren't quite sure. The signatures from the dropship definitely appeared human, but several of the signatures on the battlecruiser are moving in ways that baseline humans should not be capable of.

(On that note)

Our battlecruiser and wraiths arrive in the system. They are not met by any comm traffic right away.

Over Tyrador, the last Terran ships are burning. Gorn tore through most of the disabled ships, not allowing us enough time to actually board more than a single heavily damaged battlecruiser. We were thankfully able to kill the crew before they could initiate any self-destruct maneuvers. The skies over Tyrador are ours.

<><><><>

On another happy note, the engines of our wounded carrier are finally operational again. We can leave the agricultural planet's system whenever we choose.

We didn't detect any nonhuman signatures onboard the Battlecruiser, if I remember correctly. Just that there were about 10 (injured?) terrans on a damaged dropship that got picked up by a battlecruiser near Shakuras. The 10 Terrans were rushed to the medical bay, then MORE terrans started flooding towards the medical bay.

We were able to observe warning lights flashing from some open windows on the battlecruiser. After a while, the terrans that went to the medical bay started fanning out, and many went to what we presume is the "engine room" for the battlecruiser, as well as the bridge. Some of them were moving significantly faster than baseline terrans.

So, probably not dark templar. But possibly something that we've played before in Zergquest.

>>13931224
If it's Dark Templar, then it would be a great opportunity for us to capture them for study, specifically their psionic cloaking ability.

(Is /tg/ being really slow for anybody else, or is it just me?)

>>13931295
Slap gorns shit up, why is he wreaking usable tech?
Also, we need to send a boarding party to check out those quick moving humans!

>>13931317
Slow as the curriculum in the special class.

>>13931295

>Tyrador victory!

How are our Zerg forces after the battle at Tyrador? (relative to pre-battle strength).

>Shakuras Battlecruiser

I think we should try hailing them. Although perhaps not in the standard Terran fashion.

>>13931317

It took about 3 minutes to post the summary I typed up about the dropship/battlecruiser thing.

*psychic facepalm* Gorn, we appreciate that you're dedicated to your job. But destroying stuff we wanted intact is counter-productive to our overall war strategy.

Anyway, have Labbrate send in field teams to salvage whatever it can from the research facilities in the Tyrador system, while Warbrate finishes wiping out/infesting all remaining Terrans.
Gorn is to come back with his portion of the Swarm to provide defense of our core worlds.

Have our battlecruisers in the Shakuras system initiate intensive scanning of the disabled cruiser.

Prep an Observer Dropship to go to the Goryu system, have it drop out of warp a few light-minutes out of the system.

>>13931317
Not just you. The problem is just when I'm posting, though.

>>13931317
haven't noticed anything.

>>13931295

Inform Gorn that we generally like to CAPTURE disabled ships, not destroy them, as they may contain people and items that may allow us an advantage that will let us kill even MORE people at a later date. Even so, our two combat cerebrates should be congratulated on a job well done.

As for Shakuras, try hailing the battlecruiser. At the first sign of wierd shit going down, vaporize it.

And voidgate... Ask it if it has any advice for speedy production of war material, as we will need to replace our units lost today.(Don't let on how badly our losses affected us, just that we can't replace them as quick as we'd like given the increasing tempo of the conflict.)

>>13931364
Don't slap Gorn, he can't help it that he's a berserker.

Alright, since I just spent about 5 minutes waiting for a post to go through, I'm going to assume that either /tg/ or my Internet connection is on the fritz.

Sorry for the inconvenience, but that's the kind of lag that makes Dr. Doom cry.

Yes, cry. Yes, DOOM.

>>13931379
Yes I must know what's in Goryu.

>>13931295

>Shakuras BCruiser

I think we should try to hail the battlecruiser. But perhaps in a non-standard fashion or something, let them know that we're not here to expressly blow them up.


>Tyrador

I'd be up for setting up a Zerg outpost on one of the Tyrador planets, or at the very least a small colony.

Minus Kingston's now defunct battlefleet, how well-defended is Tarsonis now?

Also, how are our Zerg space forces doing numberswise (relative to pre-Tyrador numbers)?

>>13931428

DAMN YOU INTERNET!

See? Almost 10 whole posts since I hit Submit on that. Shit.

As unfortunate as it is, I can't blame you. This is pretty bad.
See you next week, Cerebrate Anon.
