Day 3/Night 3
CC5:

Below the main deck, inside the "social center" at CC5, marines were licking their wounds from the previous engagement.
@djl PE was sitting alone, drowning himself in a beer and thinking about how he might have saved
@beccabun PE .
@jean15paul_PE walked in, still in his space suit. "Mind if I have some that horse piss?", he asked, trying to perk up his friend. "We're done for unless we find some weakness within the Zerg colony", lamented
@djl PE "I'm going to grab a wraith and do a quick fly-over", said
@jean15paul_PE . "It has enough cloaking power for at least a few minutes. If we can exploit an easy path to the Lair and destroy it before they destroy us, it will buy us enough time and maybe our dumb-ass politicians can give us what we need instead of sitting around with their dick in their hand."
@jean15paul_PE stormed off, and for a moment there was some hope and a few perked up faces around the social center, but it was short lived. A woman ran screaming into the center. "AAAGHH! Who turned off the water?!?", she cried hysterically. Her face was green and her hair was gooey with some unknown substance. She ran and grabbed
@Dothracki PE .
@RBHeadge PE reacted quickly and shot her in the forehead.
"WTF are you doing?!?!",
@BlueBlueprint_PE raced over to examine
@FlangeheadPEAZ . "She was obviously infested", replied
@RBHeadge PE . "Look at the green face, the eyes, the goo..." "IT'S A DAMN FACE MASK! We had a water pipe burst, and it cut off while she was in the shower, you idiot! She couldn't see with shampoo in her eyes! We gotta get it together. The Zerg don't have to lift a finger and we're so paranoid we're killing each other!"
@RBHeadge PE felt horrible and couldn't even find the words. Everyone sat in silence.
Zerg Lair:
Two hydralisks were summoned to Daggoth's chamber:
"My senses tell me a wraith is approaching", said the overlord, his eye closed in concentration.
"Good, our first catch of the day", said the first hydralisk.
"Where did you get that line?", said the second hydralisk.
"From a civilization we destroyed a long time ago, in a galaxy far far...."
"
ENOUGH WITH THE PLAGARIZING!" Daggoth backhanded his minion and sent him flying across the chamber. "Now explain why we can't see it!"
"It must be cloaked", suggested the first hydralisk.
"That's impossible", said the other. "No ship that small has a cloaking device..."
"
I SAID THAT'S ENOUGH!!" Daggoth grabbed him by the throat and held him up until he passed out.

@jean15paul_PE flew in silently, cool as a cucumber and careful to avoid the spore colonies who could detect cloaked units. He was unaware of the defiler who could see the masked profile of the CF/A-17 Wraith hiding the stars above it. The defiler tracked the void across the sky and unleashed a dark cloud of tiny organisms from it's back, who flew up and attached themselves to the hull of the wraith, exposing it for the hydralisks to make easy prey of their target.
@jean15paul_PE tried evasive maneuvers, bit it was apparent he wouldn't be getting out of this alive. The wraith was designed primarily for air-to-air combat, and
@jean15paul_PE wasn't anticipating any kind of engagement with the Zerg. He swung back into attack formation and fired several bursts with his 25mm laser cannon, taking out a few zerglings on the ground. His ship took a few hits before spiraling to the ground, and
@jean15paul_PE radioed
@tj_PE to report his analysis of the Zerg colony to CC5 before plunging to his death.
