Morning of Day 2
Everyone gathered in the command center control room for de-briefing. There was no commanding officer, so
@djl PE spoke first. “We lost 2 officers but destroyed the Zerg Queen and her minions. The hatchery cannot reproduce Zerg at nearly the same rate as the Queen, so it buys us some more time. A few reinforcements have arrived (a few siege tanks and a couple of wraiths (small but swift fighter attack craft), but without a science vessel pilot we cannot detect hidden units. Right now it’s a game of re-enforcements. The longer we wait, the stronger our counter-attack force, but it also gives the Zerg more time to strengthen and produce units. I’m turning the discussion over to
@squaretaper LIT AF PE to introduce the new adjutant he created.”
Square took the podium. Next to him stood a 6’ tall, perfectly proportioned human creature. “Let me introduce you to Julie”, said Square. “Most adjutant droids don’t even have a human face, but I used my artistry skills to create something more pleasing to the eye. From a scale of 1 to 10, I’d say she’s a 10, so I named her Ten Julie, or TJ.”
“You guys are all the same, one thing on your minds”, muttered
@beccabun PE . “Hey, gotta have some oasis in this desert, keke”, said Square. “Besides, her internal computer is state-of-the art, so we’ll get the most updated info on the Zerg, so any info the capital gathers from other systems in the galaxy, we’ll know, and she’ll give us the best battlefield analysis. I also programmed her to interrogate us so we can hopefully weed out any remaining potential Zerg among us.”
@tj_PE strolled elegantly to
@SaltySteve PE . “Are you Zerg?” “Ummm….I’ll be whatever you want babe.”
@BlueBlueprint_PE slapped
@SaltySteve PE . “This is serious!” “Ok, I’m not Zerg!” replied Salty.
@tj_PE started to make her rounds. Her voice was robotic but confident and direct.
@BlueBlueprint_PE are you Zerg?
@RBHeadge PE are you Zerg?
@Dothracki PE are you Zerg?
@beccabun PE are you Zerg....
“This is bullshit!", said Becca. "Square, in what world does this constitute legitimate questioning? What idiot is going to outright tell us they’re Zerg? What planet are you from?”
“Is that a real or rhetorical question?” asked Square.
@tj_PE turned to
@squaretaper LIT AF PE .
"Your defenses are weak. Build more bunkers around the perimeter of the base, not just choke points. Stage siege tanks behind each bunker. Satellite images show a new den on the hatchery creep. This means they probably have hydralisks by now. In 2 days the hatchery will evolve into a lair. Your survival probability is now at 40%."
It does, but fortunately we were moving just an hour down the road. It was not a nightmare like our cross-country move two years ago, which we are still scarred from
