How are our standing forces looking like right now? HOw's the mineral flow from the KMC? Everything look OK from Accountantbrate's perspective?

>>16219423
I only dance with beautiful women or Death.

You don't look like either.

>>16219389

Don't forget about the cadre of home-grown Zerg-Ghosts (Zerghosts? Z-Ghosts? Zhosts?) that you got under your command, Raynor! They're just like the real thing, only meatier.

>>16219451
(Standing forces are battered after the fight with Kingston's fleet, but considering what we gained, the price was minimal. Morian Republic negotiated a few weeks of grace time for their first shipment. Reconstruction funds. We think they know better than to try anything. Accountantbrate is concerned that we've given the Morians mining rights in so many systems. It doesn't like competition that we can't attack. Now more detective diversion thread, less godlike Swarm thread)

>>16219389

Alright Raynor, whatcha got? Kerrigan got a whole new mess of psychic and physical abilities 'cuz of her infestation. What can you do besides cement Robert Clotworthy's spot in SC history?

>>16219526
As another poster pointed out, Raynor has some Z-Ghosts to call on for any heavy firepower and wetwork that needs doing. Also, I suppose he should go to Dapperlord for when he needs funds.

And for the first expense....I suppose ol' Jimmie needs a trenchcoat, fedora, a gun, and another gun (of the alcoholic variety), and a fully-fueled Vulture. Maybe even a small, ratty office, if we're going fully with the hard-boiled detective theme.

We hook up with the team of infested genetically engineered ghosts (i-gegs) that the space slug is giving us, then we start poking around. Literally poke stuff... and people... with our new claws.

>>16219389
>>16219526

At the risk of being cliched, Raynor must've known a lot of the wrong people before his stint as Marshal. Since most of them probably aren't frontline soldiers, most of them may be still alive and kicking. Let's have him tap or lean on some of his old connections and see if he can get a lead.

>>16219663
Good point, Raynor always has been a criminal, even when he wasn't, so we talk to his old buddies.

Also the i-gegs have large protoss pauldrons for not real reason.

Hell yes, Raynor quest!
Get investigating, Raynor!

Look for anybody personally or professionally close to Kingston that may have failed to escape. Lean on them for info as to his modus operandi vis a vis "everything going to hell escape plans"

>>16219663
Good point, and it gives us somewhere to start looking. It may also pay to find someone who'll be willing to work as Jim's human contact, for when he needs someone that looks human to get some info.

Also, as much as Jim doing his investigating will be noir private detective, we need an accountant to go through Kingston's files to try to find where his fallbacks might be. He would have needed money to set it up, and, as they say, you gotta follow the money.

>>16219584

A hangover, and the ability to grow cigars from my wrists if I'm standing on that purple shit around the Hive structures. Let's just get this show on the road.

>>16219639
>>16219645
The voice in my head says the ghosts are there if I need 'em, but it wants me to do things my way. Leadin' an army of invisible soldiers when I haven't even started looking isn't my way, yet.

They set me up with an office in the Embassy Complex on Tarsonis. This one's all Terran, not like that Hive Cluster on Moria. Just mortar, brick, and the bones of whoever the last guy killed to get the job. I think this used to be the old mercenary contract office for the Confederacy. Wouldn't know. Never went through official channels for that.

Anyway, it's got four walls and a ceiling. They look like they were built before my grand-dad was in diapers, but they're still standing.

The real question is: Where do I start looking for Corvus Kingston?

>>16219709
>>16219663
I don't know which of my contacts are still alive. They're saying almost three-quarters of humanity's been killed or infested since the war began. Couldn't hurt to check.

I've got access to what's left of the Confederate databases, too. I could start there, too.

(1 vote contacts, 1 vote Confederacy stuff)

>>16219739
Confederacy stuff, and keep an eye out for any contacts in the records to see if they may still be alive.

>>16219739
Oh Raynor, you're so silly. He needs a patch of creep in his office, so he never runs out of cigars. Since he's none to good with computers, let's look up them old contacts.

>>16219739
Vote Confederacy stuff.
This'll give us a jumping off point for more illicit investigation. Such as, 'Hey, what did Kingston do with this weird appropriation for 500k Confederate Dollars? And how do you lose an entire battlecruiser?'

>>16219739

Let's look into the Confed. databases first. Raynor's old friends aren't going anywhere.

(Just remembered I impulse-bought a book from the 50s about writing detective stories for a dollar last week. Maybe I should've read some of it before I started this thread. Oh, well!)

>>16219857
Turns out, Moria giving the Swarm the run of the Confederate databases wasn't as big a gesture as it sounds. Everything's encrypted. Takes that Zerg computer planet 3 hours to break through that. Then I find that most of the database has been wiped or overwritten with videos of crows. Corvus. Crows. I'm already tired of this guy.

There's still data here, though. It takes a while, but I finally pull together what's left about Kingston. A lot of shots of him stepping out of a landed battlecruiser like that's a perfectly normal thing to see. PR shoots. Speeches. A couple of itineraries and memos. Nothing particularly interesting, on the face of it, but I got a hunch there's something here he shouldn't have left behind. Wish I knew what.

rolled 98 = 98

>>16219982
cross reference any and all logs with Kingston entering or exiting a ship with shipping manifests, or any kind of transport.

Then cross reference that with time spent on planet, and locations, build up a schedule that will show unknown time, mix it with where he was presumably last, pull up cargo manifestations and personnel transport of every ship that left at the time Kingston disappeared, and check their destinations.

>>16220015
Sounds like a good start; supported.

>>16219982
Remember to also quietly question the space slug's reasons while cross referencing. Afterwards, ride a vulture bike to the nearest tavern and drink.

Question, was Raynor given his standard issue cloaking/shield bandolier?

>>16220164
I'd just kinda assumed that...Maybe we should have one crafted to be like a trenchcoat, customized for Raynor?

>>16220015
I feel like I'm on a roll.

It takes a bit of time to cross-reference everything, but I figure out pretty quick that the name of the battlecruiser Kingston's stepping out of changes in each picture. The registry numbers in the computer are all wiped, but the names are all there. Dummies, of course. That'd be too damn easy. It's never that easy.

I cross reference some of the faces in the photos, too. I hit the Intel database wall on every single on, and another 2 hours of decryption later, it turns out only one server wasn't physically melted when Tarsonis fell--and it was just a database of zoological treatises on Umojan crows. Seems the old Chancellor was good with security. And an ass.

Still, I've got ship names, dates, photos of Kingston's ships and their crews. That's a whole heap more than I had 6 hours ago. I still feel like there's something looking me right in the face, though. Guess it's too much to ask the big slug to evolve me a less cryptic hunch, huh?

How have I run out of whiskey already? Damn bio-restorative metabolism. I could just have the slug order me more. Don't know how comfortable I am with this bug readin' my thoughts...

>>16220283
Nah, I don't want us to be so intrusive. Jim's independence of thought and action is what we desired; to stifle it by looking over his shoulder and reading his thoughts all the time would be counter-productive. Now, if he calls, that's a different matter.

As for Raynor's next move: pick up some petty cash, go to a local bar, and get some booze. Sometimes, a little break and a drink does wonders to solve puzzles.

>>16220265
We (meaning space slug) need to build a distillery next to Raynor's office. That way we (Raynor) can't run out of whiskey. True it will take a few years to start producing, but who cares. Check the contents of the speeches, and then take another look at those memos and itinerary.

I've never been a patient guy. I admit that. Even less when it's a dry kind of patience I need. So, it's some kind of miracle that I didn't leave the room to go get myself something to drink. If I had, I might'a missed the detail that had been looking me right in the face the whole time.

I was wasting my effort trying to track down delivery IDs on messages about Kingston's arrivals and departures to the press corps. That end was deader than Lee. I had the press photos running as a slide show on the other screen while I worked, though. Just as I got to my thirty-sixth file read error, I took a second to breathe away the anger the Feds had almost put a chip in my head to control, and my eyes rested on the pictures flashing past when I saw it.

The serial numbers on the inside of the airlock. They were partially obscured, far in the background, and pretty scuffed, but they were there. That could have been a lead itself, but after three slides, I realized what was really important about them.

They were all the same number. Kingston always used the same ship. Sure, he changed the name plates and the registry numbers in the computer, but a battlecruiser's got its registry numbers printed on everything. Doors, computer consoles, maintenance plates. Hell, the marine quarters' bathrooms have it stamped on the toilet seats in lifted text. The old joke is that it's meant like a dog tag for marines who get too drunk to talk. They're gonna drop their pants anyway; it might as well help the civvies get him home.
(CONT)

(Sorry, haven't had a text overflow in a long time!)

Of course, the ship's service log is altered. Too easy. Its manufacture transponder codes are still in the maintenance log, though. It's a bitch and a half to change those, and a lot of people forget they're unique from the ones anybody uses to ID you, at all.

I plug the numbers in. I get a lot of [LOCATION UNKNOWN] docking orders, a lot of [CORRUPTED FILE] entries, but those aren't from doctoring this file. Near as I can tell, this was missed entirely. All the times I can verify Kingston's location somewhere, the ship's there, too. The ship took off from Tarsonis the day before the Morians blew in.

It hasn't landed anywhere since, which means he's probably still aboard. I flag the number in the system as an automated maintenance inquiry for whenever it lands again, but route the alert to my personal system. Next time he sets down, I'm gonna hear about it.

Until then, I've got time to pursue other leads, be they case-related or whiskey-related.

The nearest bar to my office is a shelled-out ruin. So is the second-nearest. So is the third, but it's still open for business. I may be tough, but drinking in an irradiated pile of rubble and human corpses is a little more grim than I'm up for right now. Number four is a winner. It's crowded, but nobody's killing each other. It's scummy, but the glasses are clean. And either nobody notices that I'm not human, or they don't bother making a point of it.

They don't have whiskey, though. Just overpriced Umojan beer, some local pisswater brew, and about a hundred varieties of gin. Alright, so "winner" was a bit much, but I can choke down some gin. I've got all kinds of parasitic gizmos in my belly. Surely one of them can make gin bearable.

The talk of the group sitting next to me is where Kingston went. God, this case is going to follow me everywhere, isn't it? The theories are pretty wild. Kingston flew his ship into the sun rather than let the Zerg have it. No, it was destroyed over Umoja. No, he left on a voyage for Earth, and he'll be back with a giant army at his back. No, that's stupid. He's at the secret ghost barracks, planning his revenge. No, the Zerg already have him...

Gah! Kingston paranoia! What if that's true? What if Kingston tries to get the UED to attack us? We're no match for the Protoss Empire, let alone the UED, even if Dyles is keeping them occupied.

>>16221199
Possible, I guess. Doesn't seem likely, though. If I really wanted to go gung-ho on that lead, the big mealworm in my head could get me taken over there. Way I understand it, they...we've got troops up there already. Long trip for bar talk, though.

I can't help but hope that into-the-heart-of-the-sun thing is the case, though.

Well, we know at least one of those rumors isn't true. I'm pretty sure we'd know if we got Kingston already.

Let's have Raynor delve a bit into the UED rumor. Try to see if there are any UED contacts that have been mixing it up with the local Korpulu Terrans.

>>16221392
I think we'd know if the UED has passed the Lauristra system. The ghost barrack is the only plausible speculation. But, Jimmy is here to drink, not work.

>>16221357
>>16221392
I ignore the rumors, and eventually the topic changes to just how much the Morians are going to screw Tarsonis. A lot, is the consensus. That was easy.

It only takes two bottles of gin before I just can't stand it anymore. I pay up and leave. On my way home, I take a detour to buy whiskey. Then I think twice about it and buy some whiskey, too.

I got back to the office just in time to see something happening on the screen. The ship landed seconds ago. The location flashes on the screen, and I start to cheer before the screen flickers and characters start blinking into number signs. Somebody's locking me out of the system!

I'm not fast enough to get back at the guy responsible, but I am able to stop him long enough to write down the location. I doubt this transponder trick will work again, no matter how hard it is to change the thing. I've got the place, though.

Kingston is on Gamma Dorian. God, I haven't heard anything from that world in forever. Thought operations shut down after all the minerals dried up. Guess I was wrong.

He probably won't stay there for long, though...

I may not like the guy...worm...thing...but I can't deny that it has some of its stuff together. Within seconds of thinking to--at?--it, a voice in my head tells me to go outside. Just outside the door is one of the overlords, obviously grown over-top of a bunch of rocket engines. Its vine-like tubers pull me into its underbelly's folds, and the whole damn thing shakes like it's going to split apart.

Barely thirty seconds later, it releases me onto the loading dock of a battlecruiser. The engines are already on buildup to Warp flight. I haven't seen that kind of efficiency since the time I watched Card Shark Charlie shuffle and deal two games of poker at the same time. Hell, Charlie had a girl bring him drinks and change out his cigarette. If that ain't effic--

That's when I notice the ghosts. Two of 'em, just waiting for me to finish sizing up the ship. I hear a voice in my mind inform me that I've been given fifty-five of these ghosts, as well as ten marines and a dozen wraiths. They are mine to command.

Then things get...aw, hell. There aren't words.

I feel them enter my mind. It's like they become part of it. It's like my brain is being blown up with air, but they're actually...people. Well, former people.
(CONT)

It took me a few minutes to make sense of the new input. I don't know if you can imagine seeing the world from two hundred sets of eyes at once, or trying to pilot a ship from every station at the same time, or reminding yourself to breath through two hundred lips, or...

It took a minute, is what I'm saying.

When I could single out my own mind again, the voice continued. There were mantalisks on standby in a nearby system, ready to come the second I needed, but they would take several minutes to arrive. I had to fend for myself...selves...whatever...until then.

The squirmy sunovabitch wished me luck. I don't even know how to feel about that.

Arriving on the scene, I noticed a battlecruiser pulling away from the planet pretty easily, since it was the only ship in the system. Good. Detective work's over. Fighting's more my style, anyway.

I must stress again, Jimmy, that this is still just a missing-persons job. We don't expect you to fight Kingston and whatever military remnants he might have dragged together; that's Warbrate's job.

Both sides launch wraiths. It's obvious that the other ship is stalling for time. Its engines are spooling toward Warp. Kingston is going to leave his wraiths to die.

I decide to plow the ship straight through the dogfight. I maneuver my own wraiths out of the way, and if I happen to ram a few enemy ships, what am I out? Nothing, that's what.

I pull this bastard right up behind and start shooting. It's not long before it's adrift. Losing your engines tends to do that. Kingston isn't going anywhere.

I've got him.

My first mission as a Zerg is a success. This calls for a drink.

(I'll give you a clear choice next week when we can switch back to Cerebrate mode, but it'll start in Raynor mode. I know how much you guys want to relish this final battle with Kingston. It's a good thing I can't draw, or else I'd be forced to try to draw the things you'll do to him. See you next week!)

It's understandable. Hope you get better soon.

And we should give Kingston to Bernie. Draw that. . .

We could make Kingston into a new race? I'm thinking a unicorn/centaur. . . with an erect penis instead of a horn on his forehead.

And http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BMpTi7SVHdI would be the reasoning.

Zerg Quest has come a loooong way since the cockalisk era. Not saying that we won't do that.. but..

We'll cross that bridge when we get to it.

Although, we'd have to pull a Mengsk and give him the ability to understand what he's become. . .

It'd be delicious irony. We might as well just absorb him into the swarm. Maybe we could take some of his knowledge and hunt down some of the secret bases he obviously had.

NEW TECH (toys) YAY!

I was thinking of Infesting him, and then converting his old family home into a great big barbecue and grill restaurant, and using his body as a kind of mascot character.

Music to my ears. This could be a motto or something.

>>16222244
Lobotomize him, tear his memories apart for intel, then absorb his biomass. We don't want that rodent contaminating your intelligence.

>>16222275
I somewhat agree. As powerful as we are, I have this naggling fear that Kingston would be able to psionically resist our attempts to meld him into the Swarm somehow, and that he would either break free, or become a rogue intellect in the psionic matrix of the Zerg.

After our very own Skynet, the last thing we need is a Ghost in our (Chitin) Shell.

At least it ain't the Bernie strain, CA.

Gnight.

Kingston

So close
