If we have any unoccupied forces nearby, we should use them in a flanking attack. Have our present forces start drawing Dyles away from the planet, then catch his units between both of our fleets.

Thursday works better for me, but I'll probably be able to make Sunday.

>>17767638
We go for it, we can always make more drones.

Also a new experiment to preform with our igegs, recreate what happened to jimmy. Nargil should be interested in it, and so am I. Check if jimmy has any memories from inside the tank, then recreated it with and igeg or ten. I want more super infested terrans.

Warbrate and Gorn execute a spontaneous and near-perfect shift in fleet posture, almost instantaneously pulling our ships into a less vulnerable formation. For a lesser species, this would be a display of organization that would impress military leaders. For us? It's just a good day.

Plowing through a weak spot in Dyles' lines, we pull our contingent in the system away, as if to flee. Dyles pursues, as planned. Also as planned, our second fleet jumps into the battle perpendicular to the line of retreat, spraying Dyles' ships with glave wurms. It's not as effective as we had hoped, but it damages or destroys enough enemy craft to force a retreat.

We've achieved victory in the air, but the planet below still teems with foreign life. How should we deal with it?

Our mosquito things, can they strip a planet after it's been nukes? How about glassed? I'm sure they can do it after a kinetic bombardment. Basically we strip the planet after killing everything on it from space.

They can strip a planet as long as it's still there, so yes. The problem with stripping a world after substantial nuclear bombardment is the radiation. Glassing does not have this problem.

rolled 84, 35 = 119

>>17768498
But I though glassing stripped off the crust super heating the atmosphere. But hey if they can survive that let's glass it and strip it, and strip the previous planets we've glassed.

>>17768581
Heat's not too much of a barrier, for Zerg. That level in SC2 didn't make much sense. It's the raygun to the face that burns Zerg off of a world, not the leftover heat from melted rock.

Any other votes?

>>17768581
>>17768660

Let's glass it. There's no telling if Dyles has managed to make any underground lairs.

Also, remember that what eventually became the Dyles entity came from Zerg corpses that were sealed underground for a loooong time after being infected with the parasite. We could still potentially face a ton of resistance on the world even after we glass the surface.

>>17768660

In the interest of moving things along, I'll change my vote to nuking everything

>>17768703
>>17768694
(Here I was, planning a horrible funhouse swamp to infect all your shit with Dyles' parasites, and you're just going to destroy it from safety. You're learning!)

Our carriers arrive and begin their work, searing the planet's surface from orbit with their bombardment cannons. We feel anguish and pain psionically roll off the planet as we continue. Apparently, Dyles' creatures are crying out as they are killed.

We find ourselves feeling less pity than one might expect.

>>17768787

Sweet. Finish up here by having our moquito critters eat the still-glowing remains of his planet

>>17768787
Now let's move on to more important matters than Dyles, making more jimmys, maybe. Igeg + box - connection to swarm + time = ? I want to know if we get more infested terrans in the style of kerri of jimmy.

>>17768797
After a quick set of heighliner trips, the mosquitoes are in UED space, and ready to begin harvesting Olethros. We grow a few harvester ships out of the Creep on Lutrious to contain the resources.

Not long after they arrive, the carriers finish their work, and the mosquitoes begin theirs.

Accountantbrate is pleased.

Meanwhile, we've received a communications signal from the UED. Should we listen to it?

>>17768976

Sure, why not.

>>17768976
Were all magic ears. Though it's probably about the protoss, but at least we can say they got their asses whipped, so the UED should worry about them too much more than they already do.

>>17768992
The face of the stern Admiral we met before pops into view. "Cerebrate? Sagan here. That little poof Melville's been making a fuss about you bringing some friends in from out-Sector. Is this true?"

Yes, let us listen.

>>17769061

Quite true. The Dyles entity attacked their worlds and we felt it appropriate to let them have a measure of vengeance.

(Side note, how much damage did the protoss manage to do before they got they got beat down?)

>>17769061
Well, you guys need the help, we needed the help... And its not like we can control them, just inform them that there is insane shit that needs death and destruction.

Besides, they got nothing against humans, just the infected ones... warning, they do tend to react a little... Harshly.

>>17769061
Yeah Dyles got a bit to close to them for their comfort and decided to retaliate, we had to save their asses, both times. You'd think a race that has been space fairing for millenia would be better at this.

>>17769061
"That's an affirmative, Sagan. The tadpoles launched an attack on one of their worlds, and well, the Protoss decided to enter this little conflict.

Though on a technicality, they are kind of our brothers... Really really distant, and a long time ago, but still... Family.


Side note, Back to our Korplu sector people, we should have them start populating on some of our worlds, to ensure that they survive and continue, while maintaining a source of intelligence for us to utilize.

Maybe even offer them the ability to join our armies?

If we have this party, the protoss rep must NOT make any mention of our protectorate.

>>17769271
Just imagine bernie with dice, and you will see.

>>17769222

Understood, General. On behalf of the Zerg, I apologize for the inconveniences that this may have caused.

For future reference, is there anyone we should contact in the UED if we feel that bringing another party into this conflict is necessary?

>>17769281
Citybrate tells us that honestly, we could infest all of the Koprulu Sector Terrans in a day if we wanted. Defensebrate thinks we could probably get them to infest themselves if we sold it the right way.

rolled 93 = 93

>>17769296
My fear of the UED and Morians finding out about each other has be reduced to irrelevancy. True Dyles is a nice barrier, but Moria is now funky and they know that WE do protect them, not some far away planet that exiled their ancestors.

RAIDAH/COOBIE,

>>17769323
I like that idea, compliment defensebrate for it and tell him that he should speak up more often, because we thought he was dead he was so quiet.

>>17769323
But what if, and I am reaching a little, we don't really, you know, want to infect them all...

What if... Stay with me here, we actually... youll see... Want to coexist, and bring only those who have Death being imminent.

Or turn them all into the same strain as Jimmy, as long as we can continue their breeding.

>omnyea can
omyeah, we can captcha.

>>17769381
The only reason to keep them is as a thing to point to with the protoss and say "See we're still not evil" which was kind of the point. Remind me that we need to annex the protoss at some point. An by annex I mean infest their entire race FOR THE GLORY OF THE SWARM!

>>17769381
Neither of them was suggesting that we do so. Just presenting opinions.

Salem Saberhagen speaks up, telling us that if the Koprulu Terrans continue to decline at approximately the same rate they have been, recently, their population won't be genetically viable within about a year, and they'll be extinct before two have passed. On the plus side, Citybrate snidely points out that Kerrigan, Bernie, and VoidGate have completely solved the Terrans' problem of overpopulation.

>>17769517

We should permanently assign a defence fleet to their systems. We cannot afford another attack like that on their population centers.

>>17769517
AHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHA true! Find a nice clean safe planet deep wihtin out hinterland and offer recolonization, provided that the each have a bunch of kids on new planet. Maybe a few planets, all in our hinterland, or at least away fron the UED and protoss. And more educations programs on zergTV to help "educate" this new baby boom generation.

>>17769517
I guess we should begin offering infestation... If they aren't viable... Little to no reason to have them.

Maybe offer to ship some off to the UED as refugee's?

>>17769517

Send a message to the terran leadership and point out the coming incesticide. Offer our services as superior gene wizards in preventing their upcoming (sexy) species death through incest.

>>17769517
Do we have any samples of uninfested Terran DNA we can use to bolster the genetic diversity of the Koprulu Terrans?

>>17769569
>>17769558
>>17769556
>>17769537
(4 solutions! But which one will prevail? Ret Mortar Kombat begin!)

>>17769589
W have a planet full of samples. And we could just clone a couple million of them too.

>>17769589
possibly... Or we could use infested DNA, and slowly breed it into the population.

Advanced healing, better eyesight, strength... All good things, and will make excellent soldiers in the future.

>>17769589
We have plenty, and we are producing fully-grown adult Terrans for infestation en masse.

>>17769602

We infested a ton of terrans, surely some of that DNA is diverse enough to save terrans from incest-retard babies

>>17769610
Marketing a new gene therapy that introduces enough zerg genetics to make the base terran better without actually infesting them? Sounds like a solution to the problem of not being able to grow terrans from larva, maybe, after a few hundred generations. I like it. Combine it with giving them a new planet or two and I think we have a winner.

>>17769678

I'm down with that

>>17769678
>>17769644
>>17769610
>>17769609
(Are we going ahead with genetically engineering the Koprulu Terrans?)

>>17769678
Sounds good. Let's offer it to them, see how it pans out.

>>17769741
Yep.

>>17769741
I hope so. We're now amateur eugenicists. But the swarm has always had a eugenics program I guess.

>>17769741
I vote yay. Make sure to include the 'death on command' thing that full Zerg have.

>>17769741

We need to find a way to pitch it to them so they jump for it.

It's always better if they think that they're doing it for the best interests of themselves.

>>17769843
The honest truth would probably work well here.
"You're all going to die, unless we genetically engineer you into superhumans. Even then your odds aren't great."

>>17769843
Gene therapy to improve survival chances on these new world we're offering them? Which is completely .true

Citybrate begins distributing information on the decline of Terran population, and opens up several clinics for genetic sampling, modification, and artificial insemination with genetically-varied offspring. It makes a clear distinction between modification and infestation.

One clinic is opened on Moria to offer infestation services for those interested. It is also made clear that their genetic information will be used in the other clinics.

(Roll 2d100 to see how those efforts go)

>>17769894
How about something a little more tactful...
"With the way things are, Moria is not enough to keep you safe, and frankly, we like you all too much to let you die. So we have decieded to allow you to colonize some of our worlds in joint colonies, to preserve your future. Now the thing is, some of these colonies will not be safe, there are diseases, dangerous beasts, and though we will do our best to protect you, we may not always have the ability, or the time. Thus anyone who would like to go to these colonies, or just plain wants to be a little bit better, we have Gene therapy ready to go, to make your odds of survival better, to increase your strength as a people, and a number of other benefits.

This is all voluntary, so if you don't want to go, or dont want the therapy, you don't have to. As an alternative, we can incorporate you into the swarm, or just leave you as is, though as you saw with the hideous bastards that tried to rape this entire sector, that may not be the best decision."

Ok. I can live with that.

The response to the modification clinic is strong. While the message of genetic viability honestly went over a lot of people's heads, the possibility of tailor-making their children for attractiveness, strength, and alcohol tolerance is very popular. A startling number of patients ask whether we can make them regrow teeth. It's...an eye-opener, to say the least. Still, we do what we can, and if this continues, the Terrans will likely not have any trouble with their population bottlenecking in the near future.

The infestation clinic deals with substantially fewer patrons. They are mostly depressed or shell-shocked, deciding that they no longer have a reason to live (we provide counseling before letting any of these people begin infestation), though there are a relatively large number of Terrans who seem to believe that they can override our consciousness and gain control of the Swarm. We don't counsel those. They're freaking delicious.

All in all, as much of a success as we could have hoped for!

>>17770244

Delicious overconfidence mixed with despair, how wonderful.

Let's find more worlds of Dyles's to trash

>>17770279
I think there's only one left that we know of. But let's scout it, and get back to scouting UED space, sneakily.

>>17770324
>>17770279
Dyles has been conquering worlds in UED space with relative consistency while we've been gone. There are several worlds to choose from.

Kerrigan requests the use of a heighliner and a few dozen Infested Terrans in order to begin infiltrating the UED.

>>17770373
Properly scout the Dyles world, and destroy them in order of increasing difficulty. And loan kerri a heighliner.

>>17770373
>Kerri
Oh our dear sneaky sister. Yeah, but try not to get caught, we reeeally can't afford a two-front war with Dyles.

>>17770373
allow it as long as she understands what she does has to be covert, if she gets caught then she royally screws us, and we need some kind of collateral until we get our ship back.

>>17770419

Second, with an addendum. As soon as Dyles thinks we're only hitting one world at a time and pulls his forces together into one fleet, we split our fleet and hit a bunch of lightly defended worlds at once.

Kerrigan thanks us for the heighliner, though we can tell she really doesn't like having to ask at all. Still, she's coming along. We think.

(How much longer do you guys want to go? I've got time, but it's less fun when you all go to bed)

>>17770549

Tell Kerrigan to keep us informed of her progress and we'll do the same.

I'm off for the next two days, so I'm good till whenever.

(Alright. One more planet, then we're done. We sound like genocide addicts. Maybe we should have an intervention)

What sort of target are we looking for, roughly?

>>17770701
Medium threat level planet. Preferably one that was just conquered.

>>17770701
Lights defense. No sense doing anything too flashy. Take it out and strip it. Granted Dyles' fleet will arive, nut that's why we're going with lightly defended.

>>17770701
Look for something valuable and not terribly well guarded.
Then look for something else as far away from that as possible.

>>17770725

I'm down for that. Split our forces again, one initial attack wave, a second wave to exploit any openings he shows us and a third wave to remain as a reserve force in case he wants to adapt to the tactics from the last fight.

Vernost III was a highly-populated world, primarily known for its massive University of the Arts, a cultural center in the Directorate. Our files from the UED indicate that it was home to several million professional philosophers and billions of professional or aspiring artists (the file's author has inserted a dry aside that no effort was made to distinguish the two in recent censuses).

Our overlord notices ships of every type and description arriving, landing, and then leaving. Two freighters matching the type Dyles uses for terraforming are parked in orbit, apparently waiting for the rest of their group to arrive.

Aside from the many civilian ships, many military vessels are landing and leaving, as well. This may not be a centralized force, but there are plenty of enemies who can fire back.

>>17770996
Lightning raid on those terraformers.
I don't think we're going to be able to take this planet. Probably a 'break as much stuff as we can and then run like hell' kind of deal.

>>17770996
Good enough for me, let's hit it. Small force shows up to draw Dyles, followed by a midsized flanking force, then when dyles regroups a final larger froce that again flanks.

>>17770996

Curious. Can we get a more thorough scan? I want to know what's up on the surface of that planet

>>17770996
Right and if possible capture one of the terraformers, I want a look at them chemicals.

>>17771073
(Pretty sure we already did that. It's just assloads of the toxic chemicals that make up Dyles' preferred atmosphere)

>>17771069
Closer inspection shows a massive crowd surrounding every landing pad and spacedock on the planet. Ships land, people board, and the ships take off.

>>17771168

Shall we pursue?

>>17771276
It seems we didn't do terrible.

>>17771444

>>17771444
No, Dyles will use the civies to push further into UED space. We just have to keep driving Dyles deeper, weakening both of them in the process. We don't want the UED to be in a position to resist us once WE kill dyles, do we?

>>17771444

I'm voting to have our reserve force warp in now to crush the fleeing ships while our first force finishes with the military vessels and secures the planet.

Our forces allow the ships to gain ground as they flee. We can almost feel Dyles relaxing at his seemingly assured escape, and we feel wickedly entertained when our second force appears out of Warp, weapons blazing (or oozing, or...you know what I mean), engaging the forces from their flank. When a second military force of Dyles-controlled ships arrives out of Warp, trapping our forces in the middle, we feel like it's just unfair.

(Then, suddenly, Dyles' third reserve pops in behind ours! GASP!)

Our third force arrives on the scene just as the civilian ships jump away. Dyles' ships, clearly outmatched, react as one: they bunch up together, and one of their larger ships (a gunboat configuration we're not familiar with) barrels straight into our line at its thickest area. As it rams into a group of scourge, it jumps to Warp. The explosions stretch straight forward across half an AU, taking a substantial number of our units out instantly. Dyles' forces flee through the hole and jump to Warp as one.

Not our greatest battle, to be sure.

Meanwhile our nuclear missiles are raining on the planet, leaving irradiated slag where once a bright center of learning stood.
