Just noticed that my total amount of reactions recieved is equal to the amount of reactions given. Perfectly balanced, as all things should be.

Alright, I should be able to post tomorrow. Too tired now.
I'll probably wait for others to post before I post again.
I'll post something sometime soon, just deciding what to be.
This sounds interesting.

Bridge of the Renatus | Location Unknown



Ikani stood on her end of the bridge, taking a moment to observe the various delegations. They were all Terran, as she suspected, although their weapons and armor were unfamiliar to her. It looked much lighter than the heavy powered armor that the Terrans of the Koprulu Sector used, perhaps designed for mobility over protection. Either that, or these Terrans were not as technologically advanced as the ones she was used to. If this did end in a fight, that would be useful for her.

But they weren't here to fight. They stood and listened as Valtrix spoke, their two Hydralisk escorts eyeing the other delegations with animalistic stares. They wouldn't attack anyone unless Ikani ordered them to, but their presence would no doubt serve as a deterrent to any sort of attacks. As their host's speech ended, Ikani took a moment to psionically share a few thoughts with her Terran counterpart, before stepping up to speak.

"Perhaps. I would argue that we don't know how we got here, but that is beside the point. For whatever reason, we have been brought here, to this system, together. If this was some sort of random wormhole, it would not explain why we were all taken to this particular system. Because of this, I can't help but think that we were brought here intentionally. As to why, well...there is no way to tell as of yet."

After Ikani finished, she nodded to Shelley beside her, who began to speak. "And we don't know where here is, either. It doesn't match any system on our star maps, and I assume the same is true for the rest of you. For all we know, this galaxy could be completely uninhabited, filled with dangerous beings, or...well, anything. This system appears barren, so I doubt we'll find any answers here. Travelling to another system might give us more information, or even put us into contact with the locals, if there are any. I...assume your ships all have functioning faster than light systems, yes?"

I had a family event today, so I will have to post tomorrow.
I'll get something up tomorrow.
Uh...what?
Michael and Franklin

The small group of lightly-armed buggies didn't last long under the combined assault. Every member of the group quickly laid into them, unleashing a barrage of attacks. The two surviving cars fled soon after, driving off into the distance. Franklin and Michael moved near the front of the convoy, stopping their bikes for a moment to watch as the two survivors drove off. Franklin lifted up the plasma pistol, watching as it cooled down from the charged shot. "Looks like it has an EMP effect. It totally shut down their car."

"I saw. That'll be helpful, if..." Michael paused, looking into the distance. "...shit, get ready. They brought backup."

As soon as the words left Michael's mouth, something flew over their heads, detonating over them with a blast of heat and fire. After shielding themselves from the heat, the two looked up to see enemy reinforcements heading their way. They were an odd group, but certainly more intimidating than the buggies from before- an armored ice cream truck, another buggy, and a giant monster truck. Their faces both went pale as the array of weapons on the enemy vehicles became clear. "Shit, we gotta move!"

The two revved up their engines, moving off in opposite directions- Michael heading left, and Franklin heading right. Fortunately, the initial barrage of gunfire wasn't aimed at either of them, and they were able to maneuver away in time. Michael, unable to do anything about the giant monster truck currently, decided to focus on the two surviving cars and the new buggy. He moved up near the two survivors, strafing them with his Uzi, attempting to take out either the drivers or the tires. From his side, he could hear Ratchet shouting to not kill the drivers of the buggy, saying that they were great heroes and would be helpful. Well, I won't say no to some more help... Seeing Gene jump on the buggy in an attempt to disable it, Michael sped up behind it and began to fire at the back wheels, also trying to disable it.

Meanwhile, Franklin had sped off to the other side, already charging his plasma pistol. He decided to trail the ice cream truck from a distance, waiting for his plasma pistol to charge up. He wasn't sure what target needed to be disabled more- the monster truck or the ice cream truck, but he had to keep moving. While he rode, he saw Donnie come up beside the ice cream truck, and the kid with the weird hat try to push it over. Looking back, he saw the monster truck and Bowser locked in a battle, the monster truck firing its miniguns at him. As the plasma pistol's charge was full, he made his decision. While the ice cream truck was a big threat, he would have to trust the others to deal with it. The monster truck, on the other hand, might be able to overpower Bowser with its weaponry, something that he couldn't allow. Turning away from the ice cream truck, he drove towards where Bowser and the monster truck were fighting, coming up behind the massive vehicle. Lifting up the glowing plasma pistol, he released the trigger, unleashing a fully charged bolt towards the monster truck.

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. "Coordinates received. Expect us soon." Turning off the device, Ikani turned to face the infested Terran at her side. "Well, I suppose this is it. Would you mind coming with me? You know Terrans better than I do."

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. "Of course, Broodmother."

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. "So, what do you think of the others?"

"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."

"Then let's hope this goes better than first contact did in our universe." 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. "It is good to see you, my daughter. How have the underlings fared so far?"

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

"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."

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

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


In the hangars of the Renatus, the Zerg delegation had arrived. An overlord touched down at one end of the hangar, and four figures emerged from beneath it. The broodmother herself was a massive creature, centaur-like with six webbed legs and a torso with two arms. Beside her were two hydralisks, 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. "Big ship...but where's all the crew?"

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