[Amanda]

[color=f9ad81]{John!?! I~}[/color] Amanda cuts off abruptly as muffled gunfire, swearing and the screeching of Zerg can be heard over the comm line. [color=f9ad81]{Sorry, little busy down here... I'm afraid we're stretched to the limit right now, so Stef's gonna be on his own for a bit unless you guys can pick him up. But if he's taking out the Broodmother, that'll make things~}[/color] She cuts off again as there's the shriek of tearing metal and the screams of more dying Zerg. [color=f9ad81]{~Easier. If ya'll could provide some fire support that'd be greatly appreciated.}[/color]

As the [i]Fury of Terra[/i] continues to descend through the atmosphere, sensors pick up a series of colony ships turned into emergency fortifications besieged by a not insubstantial Zerg horde and a Zerg hive a few kilometers away. The latter is of course where the projected impact site for Stefan is.
