Day 4/Night 4
@Square sipped his coffee while poring over the details of his Battlecruiser model. At 70 credits from Alibaba, it wasn't a bad deal, but he was hoping it came with more detail regarding crew placement.
The large com screen clicked off. "Did it work?", he asked
@tj_PE , still looking at the model while TJ ended her conversation with General Duke.
"
Yes, the Terrans bought the ruse. This article written by @BlueBlueprint_PE definitely stirred up some trouble! When Duke read the report that the Zerg were about to unleash di-hydrogen monoxide on the citizens, we were granted emergency reserves: 10 battlecruisers and 20 goliaths instead of those old pathetic scorpions."
"I figured those gullible politicians in the Great House would believe a computer more than one of us," laughed
@squaretaper LIT AF PE . "Gunnery Sergeant
@RBHeadge PE has requested to lead the attack.
@djl PE will lead the team of goliaths. With their combination ground and anti-air capabilities, they should be able to support the battlecruisers."
The Terrans launched a decimating attack on the Lair colony. With zerglings and hydralisks busy engaging the goliaths, The Zerg's limited airpower was defenseless against the onslaught of battlecruisers, their Yamato cannons beginning to lay waste to the organic structures. A few ships were struck down by spore colonies, but the Overlord could sense they were losing. "
UNLEASH THE SCOURGE!", he ordered. Swarms of scourge filled the air, small but swift bat-looking creatures too fast and numerous for the Terran lasers to drop them all, and they sent the cruisers into retreat.
@RBHeadge PE stubbornly commanded his ship to finish it's ground work, hoping to clear a path for the goliaths, but several scourge broke through and penetrated the hull, killing off the crew. Eventually one of them came face to face with
@RBHeadge PE and his rifle. The scourge were curious why he didn't run. They had never seen such bravery from some of these Terrans. "
You wanna piece of me, boy?", egged
@RBHeadge PE , raising his weapon and daring it to approach closer.
Another scourge snuck from behind and ensared
@RBHeadge PE . "
You will make a fine gift for m'Lord!"
@RBHeadge PE was taken back to the Lair where he was converted into an infested terran.
The tide had turned to the Zerg's favor. The Lair started churning out infested
@RBHeadge PE clones, and they were no match for the goliaths. CC5 gave orders to retreat.
@BlueBlueprint_PE and her crew of firebats ejected from one of the doomed battlecruisers along with a few EMTs. Landing in front of the few remaining goliaths, the firebats fended of waves of zerglings and
@RBHeadge PE clones to allow the Terrans to escape and fight another day.
@BlueBlueprint_PE and her squad saved countless lives before succumbing to the Zerg.
In Memoriam:
Gunnery Sergeant
@RBHeadge PE was a born leader and was known for being first in, last out. He unwittingly last served the Overmind under the Fenris Brood, Zerg Swarm Command Wing.
Corporal
@BlueBlueprint_PE loved to laugh and stir up trouble, but she always got her job done. She was a proud member of the Heaven's Devils faction.
Game Recap:
@RBHeadge PE was lynched by the town. He was a regular mafia.
@BlueBlueprint_PE was nightkilled by the mafia. She was the town troublemaker.
Note: The town troublemaker stirred up trouble during the night, before she was nightkilled. Because of the trouble, there will be two lynchings today on Day 5.
