The two ships arrive to find the Lutrious system as a binary star system orbited by three gas giants. Between them, they have seventeen moons. Initial scans show a small Terran colony on one of the moons, but very little comm traffic. There is no evidence of any transmissions from VoidGate.

(I've got all the time in the world. Readin' comics, drinkin' beer)

Can we start a search for the element needed to begin manufacturing arbiters?

Can we find a way to produce it biologically? or implament it into overlords?

I say we perpare for a all out nuker attack on void world. Also fighter that is cheaper to make make should be our main, with the coatly as a less produced back up.

>>14895420
Contact the terrans?

>>14895610
Secounded, lets do it with our Zerg T.V Mr. Rogers, also check in with lil sis see what she's been up too

>>14895567
Cyberbrate and Labbrate agree that producing arbiters requires multidimensional materials we do not have, and neither of them is entirely sure how to get them.

>>14895610
The dropserver relays an anonymous transmission to the surface, requesting information. After a few moments of silence, a docking code is transmitted from the colony. Apparently, the Terrans wish to speak in person.

>>14895677
Send Zerg Rogers! Aslo still want to nuke void world just waiting for more votes.

>>14895677
Hmm....
Sure. WHy not?
Though we will need a way for them to translate....

>>14895703
don't we control it?

>>14895602
1 vote for just nuking Brullant

>>14895711
Internbrate gently reminds us that our only biological unit in that system is obviously Zerg, and it takes weeks to get there. If we do this, it will be obvious that we are not Terrans.

>>14895721
Preeeety sure he's talking about Brullant, not Dagobah.

>>14895721
Do we, oh meant Brullant, which I thought IT was void world reguardless I say Nuke its the only way to be sure

>>14895775
after we make sure that the nukes won't be destroyed mid-flight.

>>14895749
Alright, why did someone think it would be a good idea to contact the Terrans?

The damage has already been done, however. Have the dropserver attempt to dock. Also, can its reactors go critical overload? I want that dropserver to self-destruct if it looks like it'll be captured.

Also, 100 nukes is insufficient to be able to take out Brullant. We need more nukes, and a larger conventional space force.

>>14895819
I vote no on this course of action and,just send them a tramission saying we need time to perpare a delgation to meet them then fly off. Also 100 nukes should bve more than eough as long as we aim for comannd and controll targets, then we bring in space forces to wipe out what left.

>>14895819
(It's been weeks, gametime. We've rebuilt a lot of our forces. I'm happy to say that you're not longer in danger of winning your way to extinction)

The dropserver could certainly self-destruct. It would likely take most of the colony with it.

>>14895861
First, a delegation would require several weeks of flight time to get there.

Second, considering what VoidGate was capable of before it had its detector network in place when we attacked Dagobah, and its current space forces in the Brullant system, it would be trivial for VoidGate to swat down the nukes with point defense systems.
Also, given how VoidGate designs its facilities, all of them will be hardened and nearly a mile beneath the surface. A concentrated bunker buster strike would still only be enough to take out a primary system for a few seconds before its backup system came online.

>>14895884
Cerebrate, run an analysis of the transmission protocols used by the Terrans in the Lutrious system. Do they indicate whether these are Confederacy, Umojan, or Kel-Morian colonists?

Also, have the Overlord stay cloaked and begin scanning the moons for anything out of the ordinary.

I want to know why VoidGate appeared to be interested in this system.

>>14895903
And how long have we had Dropservers checking the place for nice big fat targetsWe need only have them bring in nukes with cloack tech then plant them and blow up at a timne of our choosing. Other wise I see your point and need for caution but the longer we leave voild gate the forces it will build and the more pain it will take to bring it down, I say we end this war today.

>>14895967
>We need only have them bring in nukes with cloack tech then plant them and blow up at a timne of our choosing
Did you miss the part where we had to pull our dropservers back because VoidGate's detector satellite network is now fully online?

Did we at least bring a drone or two to the Lutrious system?

The next time we go to any system more than 15 minutes away via warp-travel, we should definitely bring the means to creat nydus canals.

>>14896002
Does not change the fact that they were there for a sighmfent amout of, Ill admitt the the have them bring in nukes was a bad idea, so lets just brute force our way in, then nuke comannd amd controll targets.

>>14895967
And if it fails? How will you make up the loss of our nuclear stockpile?
That close to the planet, cloaks won't be any good since VoidGate has detectors in orbit.
We need to nuke a path to Brullant through VoidGate's defense grid and wipe out the detector network. In order to do that, we need more than just 100 nukes.

>>14895960
As a matter of fact, the communications protocols don't match the profiles of any legitimate or not-so-legitimate Terran organization we've encountered. It's subtle, but the indications are there.

Aside from the colony, there doesn't appear to be a lot going on in the system. It's got some potential for mining and habitation, but it's nothing special.

Well, apart from being way the hell out in the middle of nowhere, weeks from the nearest Terran outpost.

>>14895967
>I say we end this war today.

Badass words, friend.

>>14896045
Trying to brute force our way through VoidGate's forces without a covering screen of nukes would be foolhardy.
In addition to VoidGate's willingness to sling nukes around like conventional missiles, its planetary defense plasma cannons are complete by now. Our forces would be slaughtered before they could even achieve orbit over Brullant.

>>14896061
...Can we breed an invasion force on one of the other planets?

>>14896061
>Doesn't match any Terran comm signature in the Koprulu Sector
Sounds like a UED outpost.
Have the Dropserver transmit that a signal is being sent back to its home base and a contingent will arrive in a few weeks to talk with the colony.
Imply that the dropserver is nothing more than an automated exploration probe.

>>14896061
... this better not be the UED. It would make no sense for VoidGate to flee towards Earth anyway. As for Brunhilda and the satellites, I say SCOURGE and lots of them, followed by nukes.

>>14896061

The clues indicate that we're either dealing with a new terran faction (possibly a monitoring outpost from Earth) or Void Gate forces maskerading as humans while they prepare the system for settlement. Caution suggested.

>>14896107
Not without a drone.

>>14896137
Anybody else up for this plan?

>>14896146
1 vote nukes
1 vote scourge, then nukes

>>14896130
We can attack when we have more nukes and not before.
What incentive could we give Protoss or Kingston to attack Brullant? Kingston's armada is already weakened after the battles at Shakuras and Olayhus, and it's debatable whether he would be in any shape to fight VoidGate on another entrenched world.
As for the Protoss, VoidGate has all of their security codes, and built backdoors into their entire defense network. There's no way to be certain that they've been able to clean out their computers yet.

Go ahead, see if you can get others to support your plan. If it fails miserably, it'll all be your fault.

>>14896081
So then what we do nothing, this AI has proven time and agin it can and will build up faster than we do, so loger we wait the more of hole we did gig ourseves in. I understand why you want us to hold back. But right now we can't aford too, but if don't want us to waste resoucres attacking it why tell the Kingstion and the protoss where it is and see what they do about it.

>>14896137
Vote from me.

Also, lets keep a few drones on each mission we send out from now on.

Just in case.

>>14896146
Scourge followed by nukes isn't enough. You'll also need to send in regular forces as well to follow up.
We're looking at a significant investment of resources, which might not be enough.

>>14896194

Not attacking doesn't mean doing nothing.

It means telling the Terrans in the Lutrious system that the dropserver is just an exploratory probe and that a living delegation will arrive in a few weeks. That delegation being a few Infested Terrans in a Dropserver, and an assault force of Zerg in cloaked Overlords in case we need to take control of the colony.

I also means continuing nuke production and building up our space forces so that we can launch an attack when we have 300 nukes ready, and a mass of Scourge big enough that it would even give the Tarsonis Defense Grid a run for its money.

>>14896308
The news has mostly been concerning Kingston's decisive victory at Olayhus over the Dark Computer System, VoidGate.

Debates rage over the whether this computer is a greater threat to humanity than the Zerg or Protoss, and just what to make of our claim to be defending Terran space from it.

Also, there are investigative stories about the fates of lost colonies, heartwarming tales of survivors, and a harrowing, introspective series on whether this is humanity's twilight era.

>>14896334
Agreeing on this, then?

It has one vote, but so do the other plans.

>>14896194

Scourge, nukes and insertion forces but with a twist.

Scourge waves to escort 1/4 of the nukes with overlord support.

2/3 of the nukes to be loaded into Overlords. Use 30 overlords for each nuke (i.e. 1 overlord with the nuke and 29 empty overlords).

The role of the empty overlords is to do a warp jump straight to the location that you want the nuke to detonate. 90% of these will die. Once a overlord has successfully warp-jumped to the desired location, the nuke-laden overlord then jumps to the pin-pointed location with much greater chance of success and blast the area into ash.

Once done, 30 more overlords warp in loaded with all we need to establish nydus canals and establish a bulk-head. Lurkers are going to be the main priority for insertion, with orders to burrow immediately and attack whilst burrowed.

Transport worms should be used to deliver troops underground.

Handle the insertion personally. Have warbrate handle the scourge/nuke forces in space.

>>14896434
Nukes: 1

Though, I'd like to point out that Nydus canals...do not work this way. They are, if memory serves, specifically underground tunnels, not magical teleporters.

(Still readin' comics and drinkin' beer)

Well, I'm not budging on "No attack for you".

Cerebrate, should we just roll dice between the two options that have 2 votes each?
Just to get things going again?

Normally I try not to make decisions, not since the Overmind incident anyway, but whatever, nothing's happening.

>>14896615
I was going to add a roll to that

>>14896615
>>14896565
So it is. Alright.

The colony receives our signal, and we send a dropship with infested Terrans toward the colony, trailed by an invasion force that could easily wipe out a colony of that size. Weeks later, they arrive. Once again, our dropship contacts the colony, and once again, it is met with a docking code.

Our nuclear missile count is now 230. We have stockpiled more scourge than normal. On the other hand, several of VoidGate's newest satellites have cloaked. We cannot be 100% sure of where his sensor net extends.

>>14896621
Alright, looks like we wouldn't have been attacking anyway.

Alright, let's put this extra time to good use.
We need to keep Colonylord and Citybrate busy by finding new worlds to colonize.
1 Nuke World is good, but 2 Nuke Worlds would be better. Have Colonylord be on the lookout for a candidate planet to become Nuke World #2.

>>14896621
>Roll made obsolete
>Roll confirms the choice anyway, just to be sure

Well, that's cool.

We've got to take some sort of action against voidgate. Scourge rush against his satellites? At least give him some limitations.

>>14896663
Have the Dropserver dock with the colony while the Overlords stay cloaked.

We're close to having enough nukes. Build up a couple extra Overlords who will be looking for those cloaked detector satellites when we launch our attack. Tell Warbrate that he is to begin making invasion plans for the Brullant system.

>>14896672
I also found that interesting

If we use our nukes too early, we might reveal our hand.

It's not exactly well known that we have such a large nuclear arsenal.

>>14896696
Warbrate thinks that, unless VoidGate is hiding something, a mixed group of scourge and overlords should easily be able to destroy the satellite grid, and then it's just a matter of nuking the cannon, and everything will be set. It finds this...unreasonably easy.

Gorn suggests sending Bernie's brood in first, to bore a hole into VoidGate's defenses, and likely do to that hole what it does to ANY hole. This, it says, will tip VoidGate's hand for any surprises it may have.

The dropship lands, goes through the standard post-flight check-up, and the loading bay opens. Our infested Terrans step out. They are greeted by men wearing uniforms we do not recognize.

"We welcome you on behalf of the United Earth Directorate. We don't recognize your ship's markings or transmission codes. Would you mind telling us where you come from?"

Oh dear.

See if we can kidnap a few to infest and interrogate.

And we're a group of deep-space scientists.

(Still waiting for TUCAMP to write out a long, rage-filled post...)

>>14896902

We quickly manufacture an identity, and have one of our five infested Terrans speak up.

"We represent the Poe Guild, a small mining company. We spend a lot of time in deep space. We weren't aware there was a UED colony in this system."

The man who spoke, obviously the leader of the four men, smiles.

"This colony is young. We only arrived a few weeks ago. The databases are a little behind. We almost got lost, really. We would be glad to swap updated maps with you."

>>14896917
They're out infiltration units. It would require a thorough scan to determine that they are not human.

On the one hand, the UED could give Kingston another thing to worry about, which is good.
But it means letting the UED play in our backyard, which is very bad.

>>14896983
It was only a mild disdain for the idea of bringing in the UED in this manner. But let's whip up a map that only included terran space and voidgate. Also, complain about Kingston.

>>14896983
...Shit.
Wait...
Yeah, oh. Lets give them some maps to a small portion of contested territory. (contested between zerg and terran.)

>>14897028
Make sure we only give them a sanitized version.
Mostly civilian systems and frontier worlds that only miners would be interested in. A few military systems, but have a couple holes with just "Restricted System" to show that civilians aren't supposed to go there.
Include a few Protoss systems as well.

>>14897028
(In my defense, the UED has been expanding all over the galaxy while the Koprulu Sector Terrans basically had to rediscover space travel, and VoidGate's intel on Earthbound humans ended in the 22nd century. It had NO IDEA these guys would be here. Would have been a NASTY surprise)

The map data begins to appear from the UED systems, showing us an empire spanning two...no, three space sectors, each the size of the entire Koprulu Sector, plus outlying colonies...before the feed shuts off entirely. Before we can say anything, the uniformed man speaks.

"Koprulu Sector. Considering the data you've given us, and the fact that no Poe Guild exists there, that would make you Zerg, no? We offered you alliance once, and you killed us. Now, we return the favor."

>>14897479

It's the Dyles hive-mind. Introduced during the Halloween Zerg Quest.

Basically, we encountered them when we were exploring a quarantined planet. We got into talks, but decided that it would be really complicated and too much of a headache trying to balance an alliance between VoidGate and the Dyles Hivemind (and the bit where the Dyles Hivemind were basically neural parasite things that turned any dead or live organic being into a zombie thing). So we killed their delegates and glassed the planet they were on, and made sure nothing escaped that planet. We even made sure to destroy a battlecruiser that was about to land on a Confed. colony.

Apparently, that wasn't their only colony. Whether they've assimilated a UED colony or have managed to fan out and zombify other parts of the UED remains to be seen.

>>14897499
The United Earth Dyles will BURN! Like Tarsonis, but I think BURNING Dyles takes priority. Wait we need more samples. YAY SAMPLES! Maybe we can find a way to detect them at a long range so we can actually scour them from the universe.

Quickly identify spaceports or other buildings that they're likely to have spacecraft on. Send our fast flyers to destroy/disable them if there are no immediate detector structures about. If there are detectors, disable them first before going about destroying space facilities.

Have our heavy air clear out landing zones for our ground forces if we have any. Have them provide support for our ground as they try to take communications buildings or other places that could potentially have valuable data on other nearby colonies or spacecraft charter logs. We want to know where the Dylesmind has potentially spread to. If possible, have hatchworms disgorge ground forces near those structures.

Have some aerospace assets on standby in orbit in case Dyles tries to lift off other spacecraft to escape.

"So, what you're saying is that you found a psionic hivemind like our own, and instead of feigning an alliance long enough to infest their hivemind and add it to the Swarm, you immediately killed three of its faceless minions, just to piss it off, and now it has possibly infested the entire UED, consisting of two or three times as many member planets as every armed force in our entire war combined? That's not encouraging, Cerebrate, but it does soften the news that Tasssadar and Fenix have basically wrested control of the Protoss from me, by allowing Artanis to sacrifice himself to defeat my infested Conclave..."

The Jael'Aten are pleasantly surprised to hear from us. Isolated as they are, they seem not to have heard of the massive turmoil across the sector. They ask if we wanted to talk about anything specific, or if we were just checking in.

The invasion force lands, and our forces spring out. Warbrate demands that we cloak them, which we sheepishly admit to forgetting about far too often. Our troops begin rampaging through the colony, meeting with only sporadic resistance, until an alarm sounds, and missile turrets spring from beneath concealed panels. Immediately, the civilians begin attacking our troops with superhuman abilities.

On the plus side... yeah I got nothing. It seemed like a good idea at the time.

>>14897764

>Kerrigan

To be fair, we didn't kill three of them. We glassed an entire planet of them. And it was very likely that they were already spread beyond that planet by the time we got there, if the typical haste that Terrans react to virulent hivemind things held true. And they don't appear to have a hivemind per se, more like one mind acting through many bodies. Almost like one of those terran games where you control massive armies. So, "infesting" their hivemind would essentially be like trying to gain control of the entire Zerg Swarm by mind-controlling a zergling. Also, we were allied with VoidGate at the time, and it would very probably have lumped us up in with these humanoid alien things on its "To EXTERMINATE" list if we entered an alliance with it.

>Jael'Aten

Ease in to the conversation. Inquire if they would like any information on the happenings in the Korpulu Sector. Then if they're giving no signs of hostility or agitation, gently broach the subject about Protoss craft design and try to steer it towards the Arbiters.

Superhuman strength compared to ZERG is balderdash. Try to spot for any power generators that might be powering the defenses and try to take them out with long-range air units. If we have any guardians, have them do their long-range acid spit to dispatch their static detectors.

As Captain America says, the problem with bad ideas is that they seem really good until you think about them.

It takes hours to regain our forward momentum, and we have to pay bitterly for every inch, but after nine hours, we finally destroy the last of the Dyles Entity's Terrans.

We have only three zerglings left from the invasion force, one of which is missing several limbs.

After a bit of work, we discover that almost all of the computer banks in the colony are empty. Several have been wiped since our arrival, but most were empty long before. It seems that the Dyles Entity doesn't need to store much data.

Next week: Oh, God! Is the UED really controlled by the Dyles Entity, or was this an elaborate trap? Kerrigan has lost control of the Protoss! We remembered the Jael'Aten after like, 8 threads! We forgot to nuke the shit out of Brullant this week!

And remember: Nothing on the 25th, because I'll be interviewing for a far-away, really cool job that you should all be petitioning your deities for me to get. It's an opportunity for me to, you know, be able to afford food and Internet at the same time.

If our production numbers hold, then we should be able to get right to the Invasion of Brullant right at the start of next session.

I'll miss it by a few hours, unfortunately, so don't screw it up.

Oh, good luck with the interview, Cerebrate. Hope you get it.

Thanks! I'm trying not to get nervous, yet.
