Soon after he finished speaking, the coordinates appeared on the screen of the Terran communications device that had been, using fleshy cables that pulsed with energy, attached to the living vessel. [color=a187be]"Coordinates received. Expect us soon."[/color] Turning off the device, Ikani turned to face the infested Terran at her side. [color=a187be]"Well, I suppose this is it. Would you mind coming with me? You know Terrans better than I do."[/color]

She nodded, following alongside the Broodmother as she walked away from the nerve center and down a corridor, heading towards the lower sections of the vessel. [color=f7941d]"Of course, Broodmother."[/color]

The two continued down towards the bottom end of the vessel, through narrow passages and numerous chambers holding the various Zerg organisms populating the ship. As they walked, Ikani turned to address her companion. [color=a187be]"So, what do you think of the others?"[/color]

[color=f7941d]"I don't know. They all appear to be Terran, but some appear to be more advanced than others, although it is hard to tell without taking a closer look at their technology. Either way, none of them have been overtly hostile so far, so I don't believe we'll have any trouble. At least, assuming they don't panic when they see us." [/color]

[color=a187be]"Then let's hope this goes better than first contact did in our universe."[/color] Eventually, they headed to the bottom of the vessel, where most of the flying Zerg organisms were held. Here, they would be able to exit the ship, and head to the meeting. Waiting for them was Zalek, the lesser Queen that usually led Ikani's forces in battle. She gave a nod as the two approached, and Ikani spoke first, addressing her. [color=a187be]"It is good to see you, my daughter. How have the underlings fared so far?"[/color] 

[color=a0410d]"None have been injured by our...relocation, thankfully. I've heard you discussing above...you wish to speak with these Terrans?"[/color]

[color=a187be]"Yes, and I expect you to look after Moonreaver until we return. I'm not expecting an attack, but I don't fully trust these Terrans either, so be alert."[/color]

[color=a0410d]"I see...then, I will keep watch over the Brood until your return. As for your mission..."[/color] A pair of hydralisks appeared next to her. [color=a0410d]"These are some of my finest warriors. They will make any enemy of the Swarm think twice before attacking."[/color]

The two hydralisks took up positions next to the group, Ikani petting one as it drew next to her. [color=a187be]"Thank you. Hopefully, we will not be forced to use them."[/color]

In the hangars of the [i]Renatus[/i], the Zerg delegation had arrived. An [url=https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/starcraft/images/8/83/OverlordUltralisk_SC2_Game1.png/revision/latest?cb=20140511224157]overlord[/url] touched down at one end of the hangar, and four figures emerged from beneath it. The [url=https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/starcraft/images/d/d6/Zagara_Heroes_Art1.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20140625064806]brood[/url][url=https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/starcraft/images/4/4d/Zagara_SC2-HotS_Rend2.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20140625064454]mother[/url] herself was a massive creature, centaur-like with six webbed legs and a torso with two arms. Beside her were two [url=https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/starcraft/images/7/79/Hydralisk_SCR_Art1.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20171119142200]hydralisks[/url], intimidating serpentine creatures with massive claws and skull-like faces filled with teeth. Beside Ikani was someone who might have looked human, if you weren't paying close attention. She was a young woman in a blue naval uniform, with pale skin and blonde hair done in a ponytail. However, there were a few glaring abnormalities- her arms and legs were covered in purple, alien muscle, with her hands ending in pointy claws. She had a tendril sticking out of where her right eye would have been, and her left eye had an unnatural orange glow. The tendril followed with her as she looked around the room. [color=f7941d]"Big ship...but where's all the crew?"[/color]

[color=a187be]"I suppose we'll find out."[/color] After spending a moment observing the ship, the group headed out, walking in the direction of the main bridge.
