[i]What was that?[/i] thought Overmind 0024 of the Zerg Collective.

He woke from deep slumber. His oversized body crawled through his command chamber and, through his neural link with the swarm's main computer, he began reviewing sensor logs. 

The Command room of the entire system was small. Situated on his flag carrier, it contained numerous data displays but that was it. It didn't need much for its purpose. Through Overmind 0024's neural link with all the zerg drones within the system, he could accomplish his task without much need for complicated data informatics. Everything happened in his brain.

[i]What was that?[/i]

He thought he saw something. Something had broadcasted with active sensors at the very outskirts of the system. And then... it had stopped. Something [i]alien[/i]. Something that was not zerg.

He checked the sensor logs and it was confirmed. Something had indeed existed so far out in the edge of the system. And then it went into silent running.

Was this a new species? Was this something that he should alert Overmind 0001 of the fact of its existence? 

No, not yet. He did not want to disturb Overmind 0001, yet. 

First, Overmind 0024 decided he would send scouts in the direction of the signal. So he can see more about what it was made of. To ascertain...

Overmind 0024 used his neural link with the rest of the zerg in the system to send a command. "Drone Carrier 0007, 0008, and 0009 -- this is the Overmind of the system. Head towards coordinates 84758 and 10028 and active scan the surroundings. The mysterious object must be ascertained. Once you find something, capture it with your warship infiltration drones! I repeat, do not destroy it, we must know more about this unknown object."

"At your command!" said Drone Carrier 0007, 0008, and 0009.

[i]Immediately, 3 drone carriers boosted out from the 2nd planet in the system towards the enigmatic object that was at the far reaches of the system. Each drone carrier was equipped with 100 drone fighters as well as 20 standard warship infiltrator units. Warship infiltrator units are drones specially made for entering an enemy warship and eliminating all resistance inside... in order to capture the warship as well as any data stores within the unknown warship.[/i]
