    http://suptg.thisisnotatrueending.com/archive/16606738/

    Delving into the Worldship fragment's horrible corrupted, tattered, and (perplexedly) lyrical computer files from the cartographer O-Sip, we have found several new technologies for scouting out and mapping star systems, an art that the Swarm had never been particularly interested in. Labbrate believes that with this knowledge, we can more easily determine which systems are likely to be inhabited in UED space, speeding up our survey missions substantially.

    There are also some partially corrupted files concerning geography and psionic energy. Cyberbrate offers to attempt to recover what data it can, if we would like.

    The first four of our new Zergleks are arriving in Lutrious, joining the one battleship, one carrier, and assorted smaller units there.

    What are we up to?

    Well first off, give Cyberbrate the go ahead to salvage what data he can. Then have Labbrate start on that cartography business, sounds useful.

    Labbrate is to work on the mapping technology. We must know the extent of the UED, and their war with Dyles.

    Cyberbrate is to recover the data.

    And now that the reinforcements have arrived at Lutrious, the defenses are to be expanded, hatcheries grown and shipyards built.
    The listening post is to be expanded to a full-functional and self-sufficient forward base of Zerg operations.

    Interesting question. My above roll which is slightly shitty, or a crit and a fumble.

    Offhand, I think my roll is safer, but the crit and fumble may end up more fun. I'm tempted to say crit, but my survival instinct and experience with computers say "A wiped harddrive is bad."

    Labbrate works O-Sip's methods into our ship systems, and comes up with seven systems that are probably inhabited or worthy of habitation near Lutrious. It rules out a few stars we probably would have scouted that aren't likely to have planets.

    Cyberbrate feels frustrated, making only marginal progress in restoring the files. They aren't much more legible than they were to begin with.

    A cloaked overlord arrives over one of the worlds, chosen at random. There are two inhabited worlds here. The colonies both appear Terran (though, so did Lutrious when we first arrived). There is not much comm traffic, just civilian chatter, though we do notice two odd-looking satellites in geosynchronous orbits over the worlds.

    Seconding sending recon teams over to the viable systems and scouting out the place.

    In addition, we should probably notify Kerrigan that Dyles is out and about and may be preparing for a massive attack on the Korpulu System. While Umoja probably has a large number of buffer systems between it and known UED space, she may still want to be prepared for a surprise attack.

    Try to tap into that civilian chatter. See what they're talking about.

    Dyles might be a huge zerg wannabe with parasites, but I doubt he can fake genuine smalltalk.

    Our overlord gets closer, maintaining its cloak as its antennae adjust for civilian communications. There are more than we expect, with a lot of machine chatter. It seems that the UED has sent word to this system that evacuation of planets compromised by the aliens is expressly forbidden. If an attack is fought off, nobody will be allowed off-planet until they have been thoroughly scanned to confirm to absence of parasites. There are many, many advertisements for weaponized cybernetic implants.

    Attuning its antennae to a broadly-used frequency, our overlord broadcasts to the Terrans. Its message is simple:

    "Yo, Bromo Sapiens. What's up?"

    Almost immediately, the nearest of the odd satellites activates, scans everything with a high-intensity sensor, then launches itself out of orbit. As we watch, it spools a single-use warp engine and is gone.

    The planets both appear to be in a panic. Police are barricading areas, and the local militia forces are mobilizing.

    About our ambassador form, I think we should make something akin to pic related, but have it wear cloth and armor of Zerg chitin and stuff to make it look like its wearing armor / robes which are actually apart of it, and instead of just being another zerg unit we should make it nothing but a special "shell" that will remain inactive until we ASSUME DIRECT CONTROL on it and give it the ability to speak in an actual language, instead of direct mental-speak which would most likely unnerve the Terrans more.

    Well, considering we already (very stupidly) alerted them, we should probably at least try for peace.

    I'm still of the opinion that a stealthy infest and invade before they could have sent off a message would have been better, but we can't go back in time till we find out how Voidgate was going to do it.

    Look look look, lets send a mechanical probe broadcasting a message, offering a meeting at a location of their choice. If accepted, we should send a non-hostile looking zergform which we can directly communicate through. Keep it calm, and don't get pissy if their paranoia kills the form.

    Alrighty. Let's see what's happening here:

    1.) UED peeps are freaking the hell out, despite our facetious and unassuming message.

    2.) UED have sent Battlecruisers to discover whatever the hell sent that message.


    As for what we should do... we must consider the UED:

    1.) The UED are basically wide-eyed children when it comes to dealing with aliens. Aside from Dyles, the only other experience they have with non-human life likely comes from sci-fi films.

    They may assume that we are hostile and destroy us, but if we present a seemingly-honest and straightforward front, that may get us farther than going around and whispering stuff.

    Though I've been known to be a raging idiot before when it comes to tactical decisions, I think we should pull our Overlord out to a safe distance from the UED Cruisers and de-cloak. Then send a message clarifying that we want to open up a channel with the highest authority that they have within the system.

    The battlecruisers have reached weapons range, but do not appear to be preparing to fire. There is another long silence.

    "I'm sorry, but we have recently been attacked by an insidious alien life form. I am going to have to, uh, ask you to stay where you are while I confer with my superiors."

    1 - We're pretty well-off. Moria's giving us most of what it promised, and not getting our shit wiped off of an entire planet in a while is good for business.

    2 - You kidding? With the recent integration and the public knowledge of Kingston's death, the news programs have been doing great. Artisanlord's been asking if it can have a Kingston robot for a sitcom it's been thinking about, but we're not even sure where it'd fit into the schedule. We might need to have a spin-off network, soon.

    Oh, point.
    I still like having a direct representative to our marketing assets like a Hassanbrate or a Hassanlord.

    EXACTLY! NOT EVEN THE MORIANS CAN COMPARE TO HASSANBRATE! THE MORIANS HAVE THE ADVANTAGE IN THE SALES MARKET BUT WE CAN CREATE SOMETHING TO RENDER THAT ADVANTAGE MOOT!

    If we let them interact with the Morians, they might find out about that whole conquering and devouring the Confederacy thing, which could hurt our PR. Now, adapting some new unstoppable salescreature based on infesting a Morian executive and mutating it physically to the point it's no longer recognizable as human...

    ZergTV and its sister stations: Nydus New Network, the Creep Creche Channel (children's programing), Swarm Sports Station, and ClawTV. And the best alcohol is the kind that will kill you with a whiff.

    I can just imagine the horrible slime-beast that would come from trying to warp and pervert the idea of a business executive.

    Nargil would have his work cut out for him.

    Yes.

    And then a 2nd and 3rd yes.
    We need to remember to tell artisan lord, it has free reign to buy contracts on as many comms platforms and sattelites as he can put the effort into tearing the money to afford them away from accountantbrate. An artist needs to suffer for his art lest it stagnate.

    Don't forget, "Molt Monthly" (Women's channel) "Carapace General" (Where the various professionals discuss things with personalitylords) and "Cookin' with Claws!" ( a cooking network dedicated to helping the disabled / improper manipulation tools using audience to make some of the best dishes this side of the universe!)

    Just a moment.

    Surely I have an image reaction that involves hugging.

    AHA! Got one!

    Should the overlords we send with the party crews have giant overly emphasised kegs strapped to both of their sides or should we stick with things that would be more reasonable asthetically. I rather like the idea of keg mule overlords.

    You know those hats with the cans strapped to the sides? Do that. But with kegs.
