Completely non sequitur, but I'm starting to realize that to everybody else on the Internet, 4chan is just /b/.

Pretty quiet. Should I have something explode? People like explosions, right?

Bumping thread with uguu~ because I like Zerg.

good lord

XLIX zerg quests

Oh neat, I'd participate but I'm gonna be away for an hour or two.

>>15572250
Next week will be the big L.

Maybe I should work in a batty detective or something.

>>15572250
Wait, shouldn't it be CLIX, not XLIX?

We're trying to say 159, right?

Management, get a list of our cerebrates and other uniques with their locations.

Something gotta pop up

>>15571951
>>picture of zergworld
Thank you. Think we can ask the Protoss for our moon back?

To start things off, what are the transmissions coming in from the Confederacy? Any good gossip/rebellions/things we can use against Kingston?

(he hasn't pulled any KIINNNGGSTOOOOON's in a while, i'm nervous)

>>15572365
Yes. We need to know what's going on in the Confederacy.
With the broken cyphers, we need to know what the Combine is doing, and how the other two factions are responding.

Also, any word from our listening post near the UED border?
If nothing new has come up there, have them begin expanding the listening post, and send a number of SCV's and construction materials so that Cloaked Overlords can be constructed on-site.

What's the status of Cyberbrate's repairs of the Dagobah planetary computer?

>>15572272
Only 49, actually.

Friday's the first anniversary of Zerg Quest.

>>15572316
(Oh, drat it all. Last time I did this, I erased Defensebrate from history)

Artisanlord - Tyrador system
Bernie - Bernie's Magical House of Erotic Horrors (The Unspeakable System)
Citybrate, Accountantbrate, Us, Nargil, Ridge Scratcher, Gorn - Xenta
Labbrate, Labbrate's Ridge Scratcher, Internbrate - Besilus
Warbrate, Salem Saberhagen, Wormface - Yoshus
Toaster - Nuke World
Cyberbrate - Dagobah

Who am I forgetting?

>>15572398
Where's Colonylord?
With immediate hostilities ended, can we begin the next Colonization Wave? I believe we're up to our 5th one now.

>>15572398
Dapperlord (Kerri's), Dapperlord Jr, and labrates strapping young lad ridge scratcher.

>>15572431
And Pauldronlisk with it's tweed suit and shiny veneers.

As for actual stuffs, check in on the Confederacy, contemplate with artisanlord a new strain of singing zerg.

>>15572365
(You're welcome!)

Internbrate delicately asks whether our first request of our tenuous not-quite-friends should be to return a massive weaponized moon they don't realize was our idea.

So far, the news has mostly been speculation over whether Umoja will side with Moria or the Confederacy. Kingston's offices have basically accused the Morians of being traitors to the species.

>>15572394
Lutrious remains silent. Warbrate wants to know how we would like to begin exploring for UED colonies. Should we trust the map?

Cyberbrate has got most of the hardware operational, and repairs continue (it's a fucking planet, so this is slow going), but it still hasn't had time to review what databanks are usable, corrupted, protected, etc.

>>15572430
>>15572431
>>15572439
Oh, yes. The overlords.

Dapperjunior has Pauldronlisk in its tow as it makes a wide, meandering warp path back to our space.

The rest of them (except where noted above) are lazily floating around Xenta.

Secretly hire terran mercs to steal the crystal from the protoss, then kill the mercs and use the crystal to resurrect the overmind.

>>15572487
We'll leave Zergworld where it is. When we assault Aiur lets crash it into the planet. As for the rumor mill in the Confederacy, we need "hard hitting political analysis" from our "crack team" hear at ZergTV to run 244 hour coverage of the possible secession movement. And lets check the outskirts of the UED map to see if things correlate.

>>15572487
Look into Kingston's accusations; is he accusing the Combine of working with us, or does it have to do with the Dyles-entity?

As for Lutrious, send the materials and units required to produce a cloaking harness factory to the listening post. Once it arrives, begin the construction of Cloaked Overlords. They are to begin scouting outlying colony worlds, as according to the map. Make sure that they come out of warp at the edges of those systems, in case the map is faulty.

>>15572535
>>15572551
Actually, the Confederacy hasn't accused Moria of collaborating with its enemies, but suggests that dividing humanity in the face of extinction from without is as treasonous as tearing down a city's walls from the inside during a siege.

The Morians seem to be suggesting that putting humanity's fate in Kingston's hands is like letting a blind man drive a crowded bus.

Check out the map: 2
No, never. Cerebrate Anon is an evil, evil man and we can't leave this in his hands!: 0

(Aw, you guys like me)

>>15572535
>>15572612
If we're going to be running a 24/7 political analysis of the Crisis in the Confederacy, I think we should have one or two of the talking heads to be pro-Kingston, just to mess with his head.

>>15572612
>(Aw, you guys like me)
I would say that I... I can't think of a witty synonym for like. But, I do think we need to announce that we personally despise Kingston, not the human race on a whole or the average human, but KINGSTON specifically. Let them ponder that fact. Tarsonis will still BURN regardless.

>>15572664
Have them all look identical, too.

Five zerglings around a table. Some support Kingston, some don't. Switch which ones every episode.

What? I can have silly ideas, too.

>>15572664
Their not talking heads their our "crack tam of analysists and experts" with "hard hitting political analysis." The fact that their all zerg and that Ulrich von Lisk is a diehard Kingston supporter and Human supremacist is irrelevant.

>>15572719
And ultralisk who like kingston and believes in the superiority of the human race? What will I think of next. Maybe having the discussion interrupted by protesters in the audience,

Check out the map discreetly, with cloaked overlords.
See if you can score a sample of the dyles parasite, so we can engineer a kill it dead bio weapon for it.

What happened with covertly stealing the crystal and reviving the Overmind?

>>15572817
I fear that the /tg/ dice will make us revive a horrible bastardization of Father, that we'll have to put down.

>>15572800
The map provides the coordinates for a UED planet in the Kassandris system. After creeping up from extremely deep orbit, our cloaked overlord gets within a reasonable distance. The planet and its colony are intact, but the atmosphere appears to be undergoing some sort of shift. Temperatures are obviously too high for the vegetation. The native flora are dying across the board.

There appear to be small freighters hovering in the atmosphere.

>>15572817
Quite right. Apologies.

Steal the crystal: 1
Thou shalt not: 0

(I'm debating whether or not to put on a shirt so I can order Jimmy Johns and avoid having to cook for myself. I am what is wrong with America)

>>15572892
Have the Cloaked Overlord sneak in closer to inspect what's going on.

Also, no stealing the crystal.
Our window of opportunity on that has closed.

>>15572949
But you run a moderately successful quest on /tg/. You're not ruining america, you're an innovator... making the future today... or something.

Also, I'm aginst stealing the crystal at this juncture, besides bringing dad back, while nice (unless you think forcing CA to talk like him again is a bad thing), isn't the best use. Infesting the three preserves and using them to keep bringing back dead protoss to infest/dissect and draining the Khala of its collective wisdom seems like a better idea in the long run.

>>15572986
How would you know?

Scout the crystal, steal it if we can. Revive Overmind.

>>15572986
Steal the crystal: 1
Thou shalt not: 1

Edging a little closer, the overlord can tell that the freighters are releasing a particular mix of chemicals and gases. Labbrate informs us that human habitation of the planet will require breathing apparatuses and limited skin contact at this level, and will become more hazardous as the atmosphere continues to shift.

>>15573033
Steal the crystal: 2?

>>15573033
Because stealing it now will bring the full force of the united Protoss Empire down on us.
If we had done this when we first detected the crystal, we might have gotten away with it, especially as it was relatively undefended.
Now, the defenses will be better and the Protoss will be watching for us.

>>15573068
Vote for not stealing the crystal.

>>15573044

OH GOD I FORGOT ZERG QUEST WAS TODAY

DON'T STEAL THE CRYSTAL, IT'S TOO SOON

LATER WHEN THE PROTOSS ARE TIED UP WITH AN ENGINEERED CONFLICT WITH DYLESMIND AND/OR THE CONFEDERACY AND SHIT IS HITTING THE FAN

RIGHT NOW THEY CAN SLAP OUR SHIT WITHOUT AS MUCH AS BREAKING A SWEAT, Kerrigan said so!

>>15573149
Voting for not stealing the crystal, sorry.

>>15573137
Not if it's done in secret. I like I said earlier, hire some terran mercs through an infested terran to take it, then take the crystal from them. Also kill the mercs to keep them silent.

>>15572892

Have our overlord hover a bit closer to the freighters. Try to see if they're of any design that we can recognize and its IFF codes or whatever identification signals freighters use.

>>15573149
>>15573150
Well, that settles it. No mugging the Protoss for their cell phones and crystals, yet.

>>15573169

Right now, I'm making the assumption that Khas has enough protoss mindfuckery power and enough smart Protoss scientists/templars with him so that he could identify a zerg infestation when he can.

The merc idea might be a good idea if we can do it through many proxies, like if we can manage to infest a wealthy but scummy Terran individual who then hires a guy to look up mercs who then hires a guy to get those mercs who then hires a guy to sell a contract to those mercs... you get the idea. Or if we manage to grab a hold of a UED commander.

We might even want to pitch the idea to Kerrigan, since she is much better at these espionage things than we are. We may also want to get her up to speed with current events.

>>15573176
The freighters aren't of any design used in the Koprulu sector, and their IFF signals do not correspond to any we have encountered before.

>>15573204
Probably a good Idea, yes.


Also, what about my "Fake Bernie's death plan"?

Where we convince the the Protoss that Bernie is not part of our brood, and then have Bernie steal the crystal, with a fake berniebrate serving as a patsy for the crime.


Also, DESTROY THE FRIGATES!

>>15573224
>>15573213
Scratch that, I meant DESTROY THE FREIGHTERS!

>>15573169
Yes, because a random attack by a faction who doesn't even know the planet exists, RIGHT after the zerg discovered this planet would work perfectly.

>>15573242
A motion has been brought to the floor for debate by the honorable representative from Anonymous to destroy the freighters, and to do so in all caps...

>>15573213

Direct some wraiths to the freighters and have them flag them down (like 6-8 or so). We need to determine if these are legitimate UED guys or if they're Dyles.... although the whole poisoning the atmosphere thing might imply a worrying evolution from the Dyles entity.

Have our overlord continue to survey the freighters and scout around for any cloaked units.

>>15573261
First, do what >>15573176 says to do. If we think it's dyles/an enemy/they shoot at us, lets murder the fuck out of them.

>>15573261
And Further, the Honorable representative would like to put forth the motion that we send a few scouts into UED territory to verify whether Dyles has the entire UED, or just a few outlying systems.

>>15573261
Voting 'NO' to destroying the freighters. Besides, we only have a cloaked overlord in that system.

Instead, see if the freighters or the planet surface are transmitting anything, and route those transmissions to Cyberbrate to decrypt.

Also, are there other planets to explore on the map of the UED? we should take a look at some others, see what they're doing.

>>15573272
>>15573307
Destroy the freighters: 1
What? No. Cut it out: 2

The freighters aren't transmitting anything. They are just delivering their payload.

Should we leave them and explore some more, or blow them out of the sky?

>>15573297
>>15573307

Seconding these. Let's get some scouts in those other UED mapped worlds and see if we can't intercept some transmissions.

If those ships are going about without any sort of transmission, then they may be communicating using a psychic link. Or the UED has some sort of method of communicating that is very vastly different than anything in the Korpulu sector uses.

>>15573375
investigate the freighters.

>>15573375

Let us investigate them.

Do we have any Zerg-controlled VoidGate androids up and running? Maybe we can use some for boarding those freighters, if it comes to that.

>>15573375
Were the materials required to expand our listening post with Terran technology sent along to Lutrious?

(Slow day. Too much talking last thread? All off playing Syndicate Quest? Or am I living in a solipsistic reality wherein input from others is actually an elaborate internal fantasy, indicating that the lack of posters is the fault of my overworked imagination?)

Leaving Kassandris and its unusual freighters, we send an overlord to a more distant world in the Nickenae system. We arrive just in time to witness a battle of some sort. Wraiths, battlecruisers, and several types of craft we can't readily identify are engaged in a massive firefight. It is obvious that one of the forces is in control of the planetary defenses, though they appear to be mostly inoperable.

Thankfully, nobody has detected out presence.

>>15573575

Try to detect if there are any transmissions we can intercept, even if they are encrypted.

Also, try to get a closer look at one of the unknown craft (like if there's a disabled one or a particularly intact piece of blown up specimen). Direct the images back to the Zerg Science Corp. and see if they can make any sense of it.

>>15573575
Take pictures and scans of the unknown ship types, and have Internbrate begin analysis.

The local space should be rife with battle communications, even if they're encoded. Have Cyberbrate begin decryption efforts at once.

>>15573575
>>15573624

Also, if it's even remotely possible, try to get a look at the weapons exchange that are going on. Are the unknown craft using munitions such as missiles/torpedoes and lasers like we're used to? Or are they using completely foreign types of ordnance?

>>15573624
The chatter is extensive, with a lot of signals drowning one another out. One thing we do detect a lot is an order "DO NOT LET THEM THROUGH!"

>>15573651
Standard weapons are in play, and we are detecting some others. The differences are primarily cosmetic in nature, but we have definitely detected a sort of tractor/repulsor weapon being used by a battlecruiser-like vessel.

>>15573690
What forces do we have at Lutrious? If I recall correctly, we have some mutalisks and wraiths.

>>15573690

Could we have stumbled across a battle between completely human Confed. and/or UED troops and the Dyles entity?

Can we get a positive ID on the 'Cruisers & wraiths and other familiar starships that are fighting it out with the foreign vessels right now?

>>15573720
We have a small squadron of wraiths, and a few wings of mutalisks. Warbrate has about a dozen scourge ready, as well, but doesn't think we can make a noticeable splash in this fight unless we find a crucial point to intervene.

>>15573733
Even if we wanted to intervene, we'd need a positive ID on ships belonging to Dyles.

Also, do we have any communication with Kerrigan?
This might be one of the times when we should seek out her advice: do we aid the UED in its fight against Dyles? Or do we let them continue to fight each other?

>>15573690
Well you know what they say, the UED only used standard Terran units because they stole them from Mengsk. Is there comm traffic in both fleets?

>>15573725
I second that, can we get an ID on those starships?

>>15573771
We plow into the UED's territory and drive Dyles further into it, capturing everything in our path.

>>15573733
Transmit a message to the ground forces requesting IFF data on the hostile vessels.

If they ask why, inform them that we wish to help defend the planet.

>>15573798
We need numbers on the enemy strength, to see what we're up against.

Something I was pondering, would it be possible to take a hydralisk and use their acid/spine launcher/tubes/glands as makeshift bagpipes? Without killing the hydralisk I mean.

>>15573824
The UED had at least 1/4 of the galaxy before Dyles, unless I'm mistaken. So their forces are numerous, but we can replace our forces faster. Skimp on defending our UED acquisitions, just turn them all into factory worlds, or would spawn world be more apt?

>>15573831
We will not be unleashing Zerg'd scottish music on the universe!

>>15573850
Half and half might be good..

>>15573824

Agreed. Let's get a rough estimate on what we think we might be up against. See what the enemy ships are doing and such and so forth... if we're going to intercede with a small strike force, we're only going to get one chance to make a dent in what may be Dyles' forces; we need to know what we're going to swiftly destroy.

>>15573725
>>15573771
>>15573774
>>15573779
Both fleets are mixed, and it's impossible to tell which is broadcasting from the middle of the fray.

There are several transports in deep orbit. Every few seconds, one will barrel toward the planet, and they are mostly destroyed before they can reach the upper atmosphere, though fire from the ground has destroyed two that nearly landed.

As we continue to watch, one of the transports crashes into a metropolitan area. While it is obvious that hundreds of thousands died, Warbrate is more concerned with the hole left in the planet's defenses. A transport could easily slip through this hole if it made its way through the fight.

It supposes that our forces are strong enough to distract the defenders' ships from the hole, allowing a transport through, or to destroy the transports entirely. Either of these would be a decisive use of our forces, but would definitely constitute "picking a side."

>>15573850
From Zerg Quest XLI "three space sectors, each the size of the entire Koprulu Sector, plus outlying colonies," granted that is probably an incomplete map.

>>15573850
The more forces we can pump out, the better defended our worlds would be.
However, even if the UED is fighting off Dyles now, we shouldn't underestimate them. They will not look kindly upon us taking over their former worlds, and they would still have the numbers to crush us.

I think we should send a wing of Wraiths and a Cloak Overlord to Kassandris, and do an intensive scan to check if the freighters are controlled by Dyles. If they are, blow them out of the sky, and prepare to go down to the planet and take over the colony. Search for UED survivors, and do not Infest them. We need to appear as a neutral faction, for now.

>>15573876
I say do nothing. I prefer to be an unknown threat that's chasing Dyles deeper into UED space.

>>15573876
Destroy the transports.

The Dyles entity is already our enemy, while the UED can be our erstwhile ally, for now. We can be the USSR to the UED's USA, while we tag-team Dyles-Germany in this analogy.

>>15573887
"This is the Advanced Expeditionary Force of the Kel-Morian Combine. Now which one of you is a neuro-parasite?"

>>15573909
If you accept that Dyles has conquered part of the UED, then we would be USA to the UED's USSR.

Hitler never invaded the US.

>>15573887
I will agree for this plan for the reason we get to blast transport out of the sky, I would quite enjoy that.

>>15573909

The honorable representative from anonymous agrees.

Aid the UED!

>>15573927
>>15573947
And if the USA had invaded the USSR, there PROBABLY wouldn't be a cold war, with the USA being the sole superpower.

>>15573947
The delegation from the Terran Union of Construction and Manufacturing Personnel abstain.

>>15573876

Cerebrate Anon, do those freighters in deep orbit match the ones that were dumping toxic materials into the Kassandris system?
Judging from what we saw from the last system, those transports were venting toxic substances into the atmosphere for some reason. The Dyles entity, as far as we know, can warp regular joe humans to an extent to make them horrendously strong and able to match zerg units in melee combat (to an extent). It isn't too much of a stretch to imagine them developing resistance/immunity to certain types of substances that would kill regular humans.

The whole bit about the freighters being used as weapons is a bit confusing. If the UED are desperate enough to purge a planet, they might resort to slamming freighters into major population centers to destroy enough Dylepeople. But they'd probably have missiles and nukes to toss around that would probably do a better job of that. And come to think of it, why would they even bring freighters into an active warzone or launch freighters for defense?

Dyles, on the other hand, has not been observed using any sophisticated weaponry aside from using ships to infiltrate areas where the parasite can infect new hosts. Infection or "consumption" of new bio-material seems to be its #1 priority. Freighter-bombing seems to be right up their alley.

>>15573978
The Honorable Representative wishes to know why the Terran Union of Construction and Manufacturing Personnel abstains.

>>15573988

On the other hand, those freighters gassing Kasswhateveritscalled might be trying to poison the planet to make it uninhabitable to any Dyles-sustaining organisms. If the colonies are still intact, then perhaps that means that the colony was already deemed infected and/or was already cleaned out. And to starve the Dyles entity out, all remaining life on that planet would have to be exterminated.

So many unknowns! Ahhh!

>>15573992
I prefer to wait this battle out, just preferance.
>>15573988
But you forget, Dyles has been know to make bad starcraft puns in order to gain access to a medics... healing kit.

Warbrate takes a moment from organizing the strike to admire the political mess that this battle represents: it is sending its full expeditionary force into battle against what it assumes is an invasion force headed by a group similar in psionic composition to itself in order to assist what it assumes is a different species, run by a government it has never encountered, whose cousins are its greatest enemies. Warbrate isn't sure if that's irony, but thinks it ought to be.

The scourge lead the charge, disabling several transports by surprise. The other units arrive behind, mercilessly pounding the remaining ships. As soon as the strike begins, though, we detect warp engines spooling up throughout the system. Before even half of the transports are out of commission, the rest of them jump away, along with approximately half of the combatant forces.

There is a brief moment of confusion over the calm, and silence in space, as the remaining forces try to work out what just happened, but they soon realize we are here. Warbrate warns that our forces cannot possibly survive a confrontation.

>>15573876

Uhh... this is a bit of a long shot... but are there any disabled vessels that are way out of the way with any detectable signs of life on them?

I was thinking that if we can find a barely conscious survivor on one side, we could discreetly infest him/her and gain some insight on the situation.

>>15574043
Hit and run! Do not let them get into a stand up fight, EVADE EVADE EVADE!

>>15574043
Warp out, and make a direct line to Kassandris. Scan the freighters there, see if they're full of neuro-parasites or not.
If not, random-walk back to our listening post. If they are infected, blow them out of the sky before returning to Lutrious, leaving behind a small ground force to check the colony for survivors.

Oh, and as we warp out of the Nickenae system, broadcast on an open frequency, using basic English: You owe us one.

>>15574015
Like using the Halo Array to purge the Flood.

Reading the Halo Wiki was an odd experience. There is way too much lore for a series of "Watch me kick some ass" FPS games, and it's far too consistent.

>>15574027
Heh. I'd forgotten about that. I haven't forgotten about the shocked reactions I got from the sexy-sexy-FACEEATING post. Good times.

>>15574043
Also, wend more forces. Preferably pure Zerg forces.

Also, see if we can transmit details on the UED on ZergTV.

Reruns won't last forever.

And have we sold Airtime on ZergTV to Confed entertainment services?

THey'd pay big money for advertisements that reach all over the Koprulu sector.

>>15574043
RUN AWAY RUN AWAY!

>>15574043

Get the hell outta there!

Let our cloaked Overlord pick up the chatter that may (or may not) come afterwards.

>Captcha: cusepo frequency

Yes, we shall observe the cusepo frequency. The name given to the transmission wavelength that every race in the Korpulu sector uses for some reason. It was coined by Fernando Cusepo, a ham radio enthusiast with way too much spare time on his hands.

>>15574098
>>15574096
>>15574077
>>15574063
Retreat confirmed.

Do you want to hit Kassandris while you're at it?

>>15574082
Well it was just such an abrupt change, with just a hint of what at the time seemed like railroading. Still, the puns were awful, nydus canal and all that.

>>15574117
Yes, hit Kassandris on our way back.

Also, make sure to transmit "You owe us one" to the UED. I want to mess with their heads.

>>15574127
I'm a firm believer in the power of a horrible, unacceptable pun.

>>15574117

Sure why not.

But first, if we still have a cloaked overlord in that system, scan the freighters for any life signs.

>>15574148
>>15574165
Scans are inconclusive in Kassandris. We haven't been able to detect the parasites from afar in the past.

We pull our forces out of Nickenae with an ominous "You owe us one." Gorn chuckles at this.

>>15574165

Also, aim for the engines first, disable any methods of escape that they may have.

Board them with some subtly-infested marines (no fleshy bits poking out of the visor or peeking through huge rents in that tough armor). Get any valuable data off the computers, etc. etc.

If the crew resists us with enough force to bludgeon power-armored infested humans to death, then we know that it's Dyles. If the crew is able to be subdued, try to scan them for any signs of infection. If they're human, we should probably interrogate them then let them off. Maybe even fix up the engines.

>>15574278
While, as always, I won't stop you from doing that, I also won't stop gravity from pulling the hovering ships straight the hell down when you blow out their engines.

Just saying.

>>15574295

STUPID SPACE-PHYSICS BEING SO CLOSE TO RL PHYSICS!

Don't suppose we have any tractor beams of any sort? Or that we can just destroy their warp capability?

>>15574326

Also, if the answer to both of those are "no" or "not bloody likely" or "stop asking these ridiculous questions to circumvent DM fiat", then just blow them up and sort through the remains.

>>15574326
We have overlords with tentacles and claws, they're like harpoons. We just have to remember to go after the great white freighter.

>>15574326
We don't have tractor beams available. It's possible to damage a ship's engines enough to prevent faster-than-light travel, but it's a delicate thing. You'd have to do a skill check (/tg/ dice have been kind before, but they are a fickle mistress. Beware!).

Anybody asked if we can...talk to them?

>>15574401
We're trying to be enigmatic here. Besides it's only the UED and it's not like anyone else is planing on manifesting on Earth.

>>15574401

I *guess* we can.

Let's have some wraiths flag them down and accost them.

Hey wait, we can essentially see through any Zerg creature, right? Do we have some sort of parasite that we could attach to the freighters with our Overlord that could act as a crude tracking device? If they flee after our wraiths ask them what the hell they're doing, we might be able to trace to where the freighters are fleeing to. Or we could just try to chase them with our fleet, whichever works.

>>15574382
Sure, we might as well try. Our initial plan was to blow them to constituent particles anyway.
Let's roll to disable FTL drives; if it works, we check and make sure that the freighters are crawling with neuro-parasites before we burn them all.
If it doesn't work...we still send some ground troops to check out the colony.

>>15574435
>>15574457
>>15574461
2 for talk, 1 for crippling.

Anybody else voting?

Is there any way we COULD find out if this planet is infected?

Could we send a small science team to collect samples in a dropserver?

Assuming there are Terrans on the surface, we could abduct them. This would probably draw attention.

Another vote for talking

Just to be clear, we're talking with the freighters in the Kassandris system, right?
And not the UED task force in the Nickenae system.

DON'T FORGET TO VOTE FOR ZERG QUEST ON SUPTG IF YOU LIKE IT!

>>15574578
Yes.
>>15574493
Talk at them.

A single wraith appears in the Kassandris system. It comes to a halt in the space above one of the freighters, and hails the same. It is met with silence.

Nothing happens for a few minutes, until a battlecruiser arrives in the system. We notice a strange weapon mounted on the ship before it launches a parcel of unusually charged blue plasma bound together by some sort of netting. We attempt to dodge, but the netting catches on the ship, ruptures, and the spread of plasma out of the parcel engulfs the aft of the ship. Everything shuts down. As the ship drifts through the dissipating plasma, we notice the cruiser matching course, in the telltale process of docking with a derelict fighter. We notice lights flickering and the docking bay doors stuttering when the plasma touches the ship.

Fortunately, the plasma fades fast enough for us to regain power. Mere seconds before we would have been captured, our wraith jumps out of the system.

Whoever is poisoning Kassandris has technologies we have never seen before, and is in the mood to take prisoners.

(Nice thread, guys. I've got to crash now, or I'll end up doing it on my commute in the morning. I'll see you next week...OR ELSE!)

See you next week, Cerebrate.

And it looks like we'll need to gather more intel regarding UED weapons before we can start any hostilities with them.

So, if you could get Cerebrate Anon to do one thing different with Zerg Quest, what would it be?

Personally, I think he needs to have more pictures.

He should autotune Starcraft.
