(Off-topic: No quest next week, as I'll be getting my wisdom teeth out. On a completely different note: my plan to flood the glowing pits with lava to avenge the death of my beloved Legendary Mayor and his Legendary Mining Corps proceeds. After this, I draft all dorfs into the most ramshackle military ever, and release the Dragon that rampaged into my cage-trapped DMZ. Any survivors will have their share of the Fortress hoard as they abandon, because I want to play Adventure Mode, but don't like leaving portals to Hell open or megabeasts alive)

I vote for a attack on Ash'Arak, less risk with that I think. Oh and invite Kingston to a peace conference.

Attack Ash'Arak, unless there's a vastly better than average chance for us to crack Aiur with VoidGate's assistance.

>>14343462
>>14343563
(Our intel is sketchy on either target, despite Kerrigan's presence. Also, unless you come up with a new plan, this is primarily a strike designed to fool the Protoss into considering VoidGate an ally by having it destroy our attack force)
Ash'Arak: 2
Aiur: 0

>>14343399
(The magma flows. May Armok save us if we fail)

>>14343596
(What have we done to offend thee, Armok?!)

I can see no problem with attacking Ash'Arak.
Also, I think we should use Bernie in this. A strain of Zerg and units not normally seen, nor easily traced to us.
We want to maintain the facade of being 'peaceful researchers and explorers freed from the bloodthirsty control of the Overmind'.

>>14343462
>Invite Kingston to a peace conference
While I love trolling Kingston as much as the next anon, keep in mind that we have to make sure that VoidGate continues to consider us an ally in its bid to exterminate all humans. Its nuclear arsenal is vast, and it can simply nuke a system defense grid or brood into radioactive dust.
We need more colonies and more nukes to maintain parity.

>>14343711
Ash'Arak it is. Everybody alright with Kerrigan's plan, or would you like to use Bernie instead of regular Zerg units?

>>14343669
(Disaster upon disaster. The magma coats every part of the undercroft except the pits. On the plus side, this means that the demons can no more reach us than we can them. On the other, half of the dormitories are buried under molten rock. We have decided to continue with our plans against the dragon. If we must die, we shall die fighting)

Cerebrate Anon, we gave Colonylord the go-ahead to begin the next Colonization Wave a session or two ago.
Has any progress been made in that?
Also, I'd like it to scout out a new planet where we can begin making nothing but nukes. Where it produces nukes all day, every day. We must close the nuclear gap which exists between us, the Confederacy, and VoidGate!

>>14343806

It would be easy to just tell VoidGate what we are doing and then continue with the trolling, wouldn't it?Hell, that has my vote.

>>14343867
1 vote for using Bernie's Brood. I want to see if the First Born feel fear.

>>14343596
>>14343867

Let's have Bernie have a go at it.

Don't let him go there personally, though. Let him use his brainpower this time. Also have Warbrate watching over his shoulder to ensure that Bernie doesn't go overboard (and also have a barfbag ready for Warbrate).

>>14343867
Send in Bernie, with some support if needed. I'd like to cripple Ash'Arak in this attack before the Mechanized Cavalry comes in.

>>14343867
Use Bernie's forces, figure they might as well get some experience fighting the Protoss.

>>14343887
Colonylord is happy to report that the seventh wave of colonies is coming along nicely. Toaster likes the NukeWorld idea, and will get to work immediately, with Colonylord's help.

>>14343894
Bernie: 1
Us: 0

>>14343932
>>14343921
>>14343914
>>14343894
This will need to come up at the peace conference at some point; Is the deployment of Bernie and his Brood a war crime? Is it a Crime Against All Sentients?

>>14343939
Actually we're up to 4 for Bernie. And how is Salem Saberhagen doing? I've been tiring to find out for the past few threads, is he still building up that one star system?

>>14343887
Can we call it Tao's World? Or name the supervisor Tao?

We should let Bernie know that the forces he sends aren't coming back, so he won't suffer too much, he is our first child we try and be nice to him.

>>14344059
>Can we call it Tao's World? Or name the supervisor Tao?
Sorry, I don't know the reference.

>>14343921
>>14343932
Bernie itself leads its forces into what it reminds us is only its second "exhibition." That's what it calls it. "Exhibition."

In a moment of extreme organization, thousands of bizarre units emerge into the system near-simultaneously. After a mere second of orientation, carriers are penetrated, wrapped, and in some cases, licked by a variety of creatures. The Protoss defense network is flooded with signals of wriggling, tailed scourge-like beings. Orbital drops of corrosive white colloids coat cities in filth.

The Protoss fighting spirit is not crushed, however. It takes only seconds for the ships to begin returning fire, evading, or self-destructing. The element of surprise did Bernie a lot of good, but we are fairly sure this is already a losing battle, though the Protoss surely don't know it yet.

That's when we give VoidGate the signal. A cubic phalanx of its ships arrive in-system a few seconds later, and begin a smart missile barrage of Bernie's forces.

Perhaps unconsciously, or perhaps just because we didn't expect it to accompany an intentionally failed invasion force, we forgot to describe Bernie to VoidGate so that the AI can avoid destroying it. For a moment, we contemplate. We could just...not tell VoidGate...

>>14344142
Derp, forgot that part of the post. It's a Zero Hour reference, Tsing Shi Tao is the nuclear general, almost every unit he gets uses nuclear technology, usually by dumping it into the enemy.

>>14344204
Yes....it IS tempting...but could we truly forgive ourselves if we allowed Bernie to die? Would our black soul-analogue be able to bear losing such a master of torture, and finding ourselves unable to scream in wrath and fury, "Release the BERNIE!" in our best imitation of Zeus?

No, I think not. Inform VoidGate via our ambassador to avoid targeting Bernie.

>>14344204

Notify VoidGate very quickly and describe Berniebrate to it. Bernie's a vile, disgusting abomination of the lowest order, but he's our abomination! And he was there at the very beginning of our career, it would not be right to turn our backs on him.

Have Bernie withdraw and VoidGate "chase" Bernie until the protoss cannot detect them anymore.

rolled 7 = 7

>>14344204
I can't decide. Even we tell VoidGate, odd we don;t.

>>14344204
Bernie may be... unorthodox to say the least, but I'd definitely notify VoidGate that he's a friendly, if only because he may prove himself at some point in the future.

Give VoidGate a description of Bernie post haste, we can't lose another cerebrate even Bernie, Bernie, whater he is or may become he still our child, like it not. Good parents watch over their children.

Tell VoidGate no matter what Bernie can not be harmed.

>>14344382
That would seem suspicious, roughed up sure, but not so much so that Bernie cannot beat a haste retreat.

>>14344382

He CAN be harmed, but not extensively injured or killed.

If Bernie's going to retreat, we need it to look good, otherwise our plan's down the drain.

>>14344328
>>14344281
>>14344273
>>14344259
Overcome with what we can only describe as the weirdest sense of compassion ever, we quickly describe Bernie to VoidGate and indicate that it is not a target.

>Attack parameters modified.

Over Ash'Arak, Bernie finishes ravaging the cockpit of a scout. The battle has very obviously turned against its forces, and its own position is compromised. With a thought to us alluding to delayed sexual release, it withdraws.

VoidGate's forces are left alone with the wounded Protoss.

>Initiating diplomatic phase.

We wait for several minutes, as nothing appears to happen.

>Initiating superstition encouragement.
>Attempting covert access of Protoss computer systems.
>. . .
>Success.
>Accessing Protoss defense network.
>. . .

That...was not part of the plan.

>>14344479

Aww hell.

Better tell Kerrigan.

>>14344479
Oh that silly computer, it wants to make "diplomacy" with a Protoss AI, that so cute. Our little VoidGate is becoming an Adult Intelligence.

>>14344479
>Accessing Protoss defense network.
That...does not bode well.
Ring up little sis, and ask her if she made any alterations to the plan without telling us.
Also, I want a readiness check on all of our system defenses. How is production of our Dropservers coming along? I want a picket line of them in Yoshus and Xenta as an early warning network.

>>14344554
We could have Salem start making Dropsevers, I mean it's not like he's doing anything... unless he is...
>denta who
I'm not sure why captcha is asking about dentures.

>>14344536
(The diplomacy is it chatting up the Protoss and being all Prophetic Messiah AI. The rest...? Anyway, VoidGate already "compiled" with Google's AI back on Earth. I think they're in a happy union)

>>14344554
>>14344501
"It's WHAT?!"

Apparently, Kerrigan was not a part of this new development.

>Defense network analyzed.
>Backdoors installed.
>Star charts downloaded.
>Accessing Protoss unit schematics.
>. . .

"Well, STOP it! It's YOUR pet!"

>>14344591
>>14344615

Seconding making more Dropbservers and stationing them on periphery systems.

It's probably a moot action by now, but have our infested terran proxy ask what the hell VoidGate is doing.

>>14344726
Politely ask, via our envoy to VoidGate, that it share access to the Protoss unit schematics, seeing as this was originally a joint venture.

Back on Xenta and Yoshus, emergency production of all unit types and capital ships.
Accountantbrate is to give Toaster whatever resources it needs to get NukeWorld up and running. We need that nuke stockpile yesterday.
Labbrate and Internbrate will need to go over all of our Terran and Protoss technology, analyse possible vectors for VoidGate infiltration, and close them.

>>14344787
This a thousand times this!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

>>14344787
Seconding this, also voting for significantly increasing capital ship and nuclear weapon production.

>>14344726
>"Well, STOP it! It's YOUR pet!"
"Sis, as I told you before, VoidGate is a dangerous entity, with an alien mindset vastly different from our own. It is not "my pet", but an AI with the single-minded obsession of a computer to ensure its own survival, and with enough nukes to make the entire Koprulu Sector glow for the next five thousand years.
"I have already asked it to share its findings, because it WILL NOT stop, and so we can salvage something from this entire fiasco. My worlds are already moving to double their war production, but we're still just flesh and blood, compared to the machinery that is VoidGate.
"I'll keep you updated, sister."

>>14344787
THIS A MILLION TIMES!

>>14344787

Thirding this.

While this is an unexpected action by VoidGate, it could potentially turn out to be beneficial in the long run. Nevertheless, it's probably a good idea to prepare for a war with Proterran hybrid machines with the AI set on INSANE difficulty.

Here's a brief analysis of what VoidGate now has:
It has acquired cloaking technology.
It has acquired time-space dilation technology.
It has placed a backdoor into every single Protoss defense grid and robotic machine; it can effectively take over the entire Protoss Empire as it can now control the Drones.
VoidGate now potentially controls resources and industrial assets nearly triple our own.

>>14344927
Something VoidGate does not have, the Protoss warp network. Silver linings and all.

>>14344974
It only doesn't have that because the Protoss no longer have it to be stolen.
But yes, I understand what you meant.

As much as I love trolling Kingston and getting our revenge, VoidGate is now our biggest threat. It hasn't turned on us yet, but that's no guarantee between an organic and an AI.

>>14344787

Also, have Nargil create a new anti-armor/machine zerg strain. Like a rust monster for sci-fi settings.

Even if VoidGate doesn't go Tycho on us, it could be very useful against Terrans & Protoss.


>VoidGate

While we're doing our war prep, ask VoidGate what exactly is it doing. Its was not agreed upon in the mission briefing to undermine the Protoss in this manner.

>>14344823
>>14344856
>>14344874
>>14344787
We feel a thrill of abject panic, which shivers through our Brood like a wave. Internbrate's bad feelings have nothing on this.

Toaster requisitions dozens of overlords, which it fills with infested SCVs. Colonylord provides the location of a moderately rich world that it hadn't quite finished prospecting. It will take time to build the silos and missiles, but if the threat of extinction doesn't light a fire under its proverbial ass, what will?

Accountantbrate's psionic emanations are amazing as it allocates resources from every source, organizing our Hive Clusters across more than 50 worlds. Larvae sprout into eggs in front of every Hatchery, Lair, and Hive in Zerg space. Toaster modifies the battlecruiser and carrier under construction for speed, rather than perfect design. They won't be pretty, but they'll be done today. Warbrate increases overlord patrols in every system, organizing units into squads and divisions as they hatch. Gorn's membranes ooze with anticipatory fluids. Nargil volunteers to lead a small Brood, should we need.
(Cont)

>>14345101
Gently, we input a question to VoidGate.

This was not a part of the plan. What is the meaning of this deviation?
>Zerg deviant commander Kerrigan correctly indicated Protoss threat.
>Zerg commander Anon provided incomplete Zerg unit descriptions.
>Zerg forces at Ash'Arak designed for torture, not combat.
>Zerg commander Anon provided incomplete tactical data concerning parameters of Ash'Arak mission.
>Zerg psychological assessment indicates either inefficiency or abject depravity.
>Status of Zerg-VoidGate Alliance: Terminated.

The single door to our tiny embassy opens, revealing what appears to be a seven-foot-tall body builder with a plasma rifle. It fires at our envoy without warning. As its vision fades, we strain to see VoidGate's display.

>Protoss unit design download complete.
>Accessing Protoss Science directory.
>. . .
>, . ,
}, _ .

Our unit's eyes blur too much to see just before the firing begins again. We lose the unit shortly thereafter.

We have lost our alliance with VoidGate. It appears that we have migrated to the extermination column.

Give Kingston call I think well be needing some back up, on this one. At the very least a meat shield, for when shit hits the fan.

>>14345130
Send a Dropserver back to the original swamp planet that we found VoidGate on.
It may have already moved its core code to another location, but it may not yet have done it.
If the system defenses are still depending on stealth rather than conventional weaponry, then we might be able to wipe out the planet.

>>14345099
Agreed. Nargil must find and develop a new Zerg strain, one designed specifically to attack metals. Have it work with Internbrate to find an acid that can work against the neo--titanium that VoidGate uses.

Finally, a transmission to Kerrigan.
"Run, sister. You may yet be able to slip away. I'm the larger target, I'll keep VoidGate's attention."

>>14345130
Well, I think we just found that enemy that was talked about in that prophesy. It's a real shame that we have to kill VoidGate now that we upgraded all it's stuff. If I didn't know any better I'd say this happened just to keep us from killing Kingston. So, let's fire up ZergTv and start reports on an evil race of robots that have been nuking worlds.

>>14345228
That's fine, but we need to get back into the Ash'Arak system and destroy VoidGate's ships immediately.
We can't allow it to access the Protoss science files. If it does, not only will it gain access to the theory behind the Arbiter's Time Dilation technology, allowing it to use it in it's production facilities and other ships, but also knowledge about the Xel'Naga and their artifacts.
We MUST NOT allow that to occur.

Warbrate and Gorn need to go and smash the VoidGate ships at Ash'Arak, and VoidGate's swamp world.
Gorn to Ash'Arak.
Warbrate to Dagohba.

>>14345130
(OOPS! I forgot to have VG mention us offering the Terrans peace. Just imagine that's on that list, ok?)

(These aren't mutually exclusive. Vote them up or down and/or suggest alternatives. In 5 minutes, whatever's got enough votes goes. If there's a conflict, I'll pick the higher one. For the sake of clarity, please reply to this post specifically for your votes/nowaitchangemyvotes)

(Absolute Dorf Fortress catastrophe! Who would have guessed that a dragon attack right as the horrors of the deep rose would hurt the booze industry so much? I dealt with the monsters, but I couldn't bear to make my dwarves abstain like that...)

Its time for calvery.

I want zerg presence in as many portions of the galaxy as possible. We need to change our colonization program from what it is, to actually be more like a virus. Dont compound our holdings until the colonies we have send out a minimum of three colonization units (Minimum offense, fast units, recourse gathering, and other such stuff.)

We need a different planet to manifest on. We are no longer safe.

Contact the terrans and inform them of everything we know about voidgate, in regards to things we have not done. Also give them whatever schematics, and information we have on technological assets at our control.

Sue for peace with the protoss. Tell them that we there is an AI which knows everything they did technologically. Beg them for help.

Each colony needs to eventually grow a cerabrate, to dictate its actions as necessary.

ALso, see if the Terrans are willing to help us in our technological endevours, sending schematics, or anything really.

>>14345320
Sounds good to me I vote for this, also tell sis to run if she can, this is our mistake and well be damned if doom's too!

>>14345319
>Contact the terrans and inform them of everything we know about voidgate, in regards to things we have not done. Also give them whatever schematics, and information we have on technological assets at our control.

>Spy on VoidGate's swampy home: 1
if by spying you mean bring in any amount of weaponry from any and every potential ally, then yes. ALso blowing them up. repeatedly if neccesary.

>>14345319
Tell Kerrigan to run, that it's not safe, and we'll direct all attention towards us so she can escape.

Spy on VoidGate's known homeplanet, in preparation for an invasion led by Warbrate.

No Peace...with Kingston. Tarsonis will still burn, but it'll have to be put on hold for a while.

Gorn is to attack the VoidGate ships at Ash'Arak with a full cloaked nuclear strike and with conventional Zerg forces; we must not allow VoidGate to finish downloading the Protoss Science data, or risk our ships getting hacked.

>>14345319

Spy on voidgate

Tell Kerrigan to cheese it the hell out of there.

>>14345374
attack both at Asrack and all other known voidgate territories.

>>14345383
We have to concentrate on Ash'Arack and Dagobah; we don't have the resources to be able to strike all at once.
Ash'Arack is full of not only VoidGate's ships, but also Protoss defense forces as well.

>>14345404
..then if any of Bernies forces are still there, we need to wipe them out, and go after VoidGate.

Why? to make it look like we are helping the protosss, which incidentaly we are.

>>14345319
Now exactly a truce with Kingston, just uses ZergTV to send everything we know about VoidGate that doesn't involve us. Inform Kerri about this development, if she wants to leave wherever the hell she is she will, and us telling her to will not make her leave. And send dropservers to dagoba and the worlds that VoidGate has nuked to see what's going on. And how long would it take to scramble enough forces to Ash'Arak to destroy all of VoidGates forces there? I ask because he managed to get all of the unit schematics rather quickly, so getting all of the science data might not take too long.

Is it just me?
I keep getting this tingle in my spine... like we are all royally screwed, and maybe befriending skynet was not such a good idea...

>>14345563
Oh come on, you really didn't expect this to happen eventually? This was a glaringly obvious and inevitable betrayal.
It doesn't take much for malevolent AI's to go from "Kill All Humans" to "Kill All Organics".

>>14345563
Yes, well most people thought that we should just tell it the time instead of exploring the compound and analyzing everything we find.

>>14345563
It's not just you am getting it too. We have to call a truce with Kingstion, why because to quote a famous earth leader"United we stand dived we fall" We killed too many Terrains to ever make peace with them in this century, and they too many of us, but in order to survive we fight together if there is to be a tomorrow !

>>14345610
ALl I knew was that it was a terminator facility. I don't remember which thread it was, or even how I thought at the time.

>>14345629
We can blame it on someone else. Like Bernie.
Or some random non-existent zerg.

And yes. Peace may be interesting. if it happens.

>>14345629
This blithe trust in temporary allies will only get us killed.
Kingston would use the truce to locate our true core world coordinates, and as soon as VoidGate is sufficiently weakened, we would find hundreds of nuclear missiles headed towards Xenta and Yoshus.

(Sorry for the delay. Brother and I are laughing and having a good time)
Artisanlord is all too happy to use its ZergTV for public safety announcements in the name of interspecial cooperation. A special edition of 60 Mutas airs on the terrible mechanical menace, confirming its role in the nuclear holocaust of the Fringe colonies. Artisanlord goes so far as to suggest that Terrans and Zerg set aside their differences. It doesn't actually petition for a truce, but it hints pretty heavily.

Meanwhile, we warn Kerrigan to lay low. The Protoss are not safe, and neither is she. She grumbles, but thanks us for the warning.

We send two dropservers out to scout. The first goes to Dagobah. The planet is...notably different than the last time we saw its surface. It is putting off enormous amounts of heat in the form of steam shooting out from massive vents from underground. Water appears to be channeled down for cooling. There are massive communications relays across the surface.

There is also a truly frightful fleet of ships.
(CONT)

>>14345670
Unless we are not really there. ANd maybe, just maybe, we can set up a... puppet regime?
Not sure.

But if Kingston see's VoidGate as a better tool to keep his population in check than the zerg, and finds it may be a good idea to play nice with the zerg, well... Lets hope.
And pray.
To the OVermind.

>>14345600
>>14345563

Also, we needed a very plausible huge threat for the next major antagonists for the quest.

Kingston's fleet is all shot to hell and we just wrecked the crap outta his scientific capabilities with our attack on the Tyrador system. And discredited him on public television.

The Protoss are still reeling from the Overmind's initial foray onto Aiur, and have similarly suffered with the incineration of Shakuras. The Dark Templar have all but been completely wiped off the face of the Korpulu Sector.

Dyles is probably fused to the surface of that one planet we glassed.

The UED fleet is probably en route... but will probably not arrive anytime soon due to either expanding its size into a full-fledged victory fleet or because we're simply not at that corresponding point in time that they arrived in Brood Wars.

WEll, can we get the broadcast to show the fleet and planet?

WE need to blow it up.

Can we... Can we move the zerg planet somehow? and crash the two together?

>>14345632
Thread 26, apparently. I rambled about the Black Company for a bit, then paranoia about Daleks, then paranoia about fighting skynet. Good times

>>14345684
We can still do this.
VoidGate hasn't had time to implement the cloaking technology, or the advanced sensor systems needed to detect cloaked units.

A fleet of cloaked battlecruisers, carriers, and valkyries might still be able to fight off VoidGate's defense fleet and glass the planet.
Have the Dropserver immediately begin scanning to see if VoidGate has the necessary detection hardware to penetrate cloaking fields.

>>14345716
>Can we move the zerg planet somehow?
What are you talking about? Have you already forgotten? It's still in orbit around AIUR!

>>14345749
I know.

We need to ask the protoss if we can attack a threat (allude to bernie) with the sucker.

Beg them if need be.

>>14345700
Actually we're long past the start of BW. Granted Blizzard has no understanding of time, and makes things happen far to close together.

>>14345684
The second goes to Ash'Arak. It finds the Protoss ships repairing while transmissions pass between VoidGate's fleet and the planet's highest-ranking Adjudicator. From the sound of it, the Protoss are not yet aware that their computer systems have been compromised, though they may not have quite taken the bait about the prophecy. From the amount of background noise, we're sure that VoidGate is still downloading the science data.

In a moment of cleverness, we use the dropserver to create a bit of feedback. Not enough to reveal its location, mind you, but enough to alert the Protoss that their systems have been breached. The communications channels get substantially more hostile as the Protoss attempt to set their ships to a combat stance, but suddenly fall silent as reactors, engines, and life support systems fall quiet across the system.

Tactically, we must make a decision: Should we split our forces, or attack just one world? And if one world, which one?

>>14345755
You think the Conclave would allow Zerg to again sully the sanctity of the holy space around Aiur?
Not only that, but the resources required to move such a mass through Warp transit would mean that all other production would have to stop.

Your plan is unfeasible.

Attack The Homeworld.

And begin infestation, or at least reveal our presence to the protoss by landing on the world, and giving them weapons.

Also we need to change any factories to biological processes, not mechanical.

For the good of all, we cannot fall silent.

>>14345778
Send everything (zerg) we have to Ash'Arak it's time this war got started!

>>14345791
come up with a better one.

I am going to bed. Good night all.

>>14345778
Do we still detect VoidGate downloading data from the Protoss databanks?
If Yes, Ash'Arak. We need to prevent it from getting more science data.
If No, then Dagobah. We must strike as swiftly as we can, before VoidGate can implement more technologically advanced defenses.

>>14345778
>>14345684
I think we should go after dagoba, and send pictures from Ash'Arak and Dagoba to Kingston through 60 Mutas. Maybe we can get him to send what he does have to mopup what we can't.

WE'RE SCREWED.

Therefore, we implement a backup plan. Create/divert queens and colonies and send them to the furthest, uncolonized space that comes to mind. Thirteen's a nice number.

Should we fall, the Zerg will live on.

>>14345756
(Not that there was any real indication of the time passed until they decided to screw with canon in preparation for Starcraft 2. It doesn't make sense as they put it, but whatever. It's not like we've been doing anything by official canon since...ever.)

>>14345778
>>14345810

Attack VoidGate's forces at Ash'Arak. We need to prevent it from getting as much Protoss science as it can.

Actively attack VoidGate's ships, try to avoid destroying non-VoidGate controlled Protoss ships if we can help it. If not, then so be it.

>>14345801
and by mechanical you mean computerized correct? I'd like to see VoidGate have a drill press.

>>14345778
I say split the fleet. Gorn goes to Ash'Arak; his priority is the destruction of the VoidGate ships. Hit him psionically over the head if we have to, but this is absolutely vital. He will take a quarter of our available space forces in the Yoshus system, conventional Zerg only.
Warbrate will take the lion's share of our forces and attack Dagobah. Use all of our nukes as necessary. Primary targets are the communication arrays; if they go down, it will make it more difficult for VoidGate to control its fleet.

>>14345836
Thirteen seems too few. And we ought to move our body to a diifferent system as well.

We are boned though.

We need to know if those Protoss ships will stay out of the fight long enough for us to destroy the VoidGate ships, or if they will be computer-controlled by VoidGate.

Good plan but lets mod it, Give Warbrate all cloak capple units, and tell him to him fun give Gorm EVERYTHING else, and hope for victory.

Future note... we need more cerabrates whom are foocused on combat. Stealth, subterfugee, heavy, defensive, speciaal ops, blitzkreig....

If we survivue.

>>14345909
Yes, let's put all our broodlings in one nest site.

SEND OFF THE EMERGENCY BACKUPS! THEY WILL BE THE THIRTEEN TRIBES OF THE ZERG!

>>14345909
Giving Warbrate all cloak-capable units doesn't really mean much, since 4/5ths of our forces are all cloak-capable.
I don't really see the point, since Warbrate would have most of the cloak-capable units anyway, since he's going to have most of the units.

>>14345934
You mean the infinite zerg armada from who the fuck knows Where?

>>14345934
Begin project Yoneq, look for any Terrain we have infested that can be like Kerri, once found send it and the 13 to their Destination as far away as possible,there will be a future for the swarm, I hope.

>>14345963
We can spare a few resources for the survival of the species. Just in case.

Or apply the humans' Enstou Theorem!

>>14345851
(And we have a winner!)

Warbrate and Gorn split the available forces, with Gorn taking more Zerg to make up for allowing Warbrate all of our Protoss and Terran assets. Accountantbrate warns them to avoid casualties, as it has expended most of its reserves, so replacements will not be as readily available as they are used to. Warbrate agrees. Gorn laughs.

Warbrate's forces enter the system behind VoidGate's buying about a second's-worth of attack time before the AI's ships reposition. With their weapons aimed at Warbrate's approaching forces, VoidGate's ships make easy targets when Gorn's forces appear, having jumped dangerously close to VoidGate's battle lines. Many mutalisks enter the system already lacerated, hemorrhaging, or dead. Several reenter normal space inside of VoidGate-controlled ships, damaging the metal craft as the organic creature thrashes and dies, perforated from occupying the same space as a machine.

Gorn's forces lash out frantically from within VoidGate's lines, supported by Warbrate's unbroken offensive lines. Heavy plasma, ballistic, and organic fire permeates the scene, but when it becomes apparent that VoidGate's cause is lost, every remaining functional craft in its armada jumps away with clockwork synchronization.

The first blood has been drawn, and we have won the day. Yet, we feel that, unless VoidGate is stopped soon, this victory may yet be...what is it the Terrans say? Pyrrhic.

(And this is...what do I keep saying? A good stopping point!)

If you're going to do something, do it right!
An emergency escape plan should include the usage of our captured Arbiter, and the automated launching of Labbrate, Nargil, and Warbrate along with a decent sized colonization fleet.
Escorts should include 2 battlecruisers and a carrier, as well as a handful of Scouts and Wraiths, with some Dropservers for extra scouting.

Now, I'm not saying to do this; I'm just pointing out that you fail in all regards, to even properly plan for your Zerg-Battlestar Galactica.

>>14345942
What I wanted was for Warbrate to on a stealth op and fuck up void gate's defenses, while gorm goes and tires shit up else where and then goes joins warbrate at Voids homworld to tear shit up there!

>>14346037
Goddamnit. I wanted a simultaneous attack on Dagobah and Ash'Arak.
Now Dagobah will be even more heavily defended and VoidGate may have already begun transferring itself off of the planet.

>>14346057
Then you should have better elucidated your desires. If you can't properly convey what you want to occur, then how is anyone supposed to understand what you want?

Besides, Warbrate would have been well-capable of launching a cloaked offensive even without having all of the cloak-capable units, since he would have most of them anyway.

That sounds awfully Jewish for a Blizzard franchise...

>>14345982
Is that like the Anti-Life Equation or something?

>>14346046
There are those who believe that Infestation here began out there...that there may yet be Swarms of Zerg who even now fight to evolve somewhere beyond the heavens.

>>14346037

Why do I get the feeling that the next few Zerg Quests will involve our Cerebrates watching infested briefing screens from SC1 with Us, Zeratul and/or Tassadar, and Kingston discussing how to take down VoidGate?

>>14346037
Well hey, we stopped a lot sooner than we normally do.
Is it because we went through decisions faster than you expected?

>>14346145
Yes. Also, I didn't really plan for VoidGate turning on you this early. I was going to have it burn down Umoja and put up a parking lot.

In direct opposition to what TUCAMP was implying earlier, I was sort of working on what kind of blaze of glory Kingston would be setting up. Oh, well.

/tg/ tends to be bad at strategic thinking, but great at tactical thought, in my experience.

Now, to get a hapless adventurer killed in Dwarf Fortress!

This usually doesn't last long...
