Profiles:
Name: Rhoktar

Race: Zerg

Strain: Kai Hunter Killer, modified Hydralisk/Hunter Killer strain

Age: 18

Appearance: Slightly larger than a normal Hydralisk, dark red streaks visible underneath eyes

Biography: Born from a Terran project that attempted to study Zerg behaviour, one of Menyu's most destructive specimens. During one experiment, an accidental injection containing Devouring One cells into a Hunter Killer Larva resulted Rhoktar to be spawned with heightened aggression, size, speed and surprisingly, intelligence. For years he has laid dormant, surpressed by Neuro drugs and kept in a lifesize tube continuously being tested. But in his 15th year of life, Rhoktar awoke and his sleeping destructive instincts exploded. Rhoktar burst from his captive tube and went berserk. The building where he was kept was completly ravaged by his uncontrollable rampage. Since his escape, Rhoktar has been wandering the lands, along with wanting his reason for being on his mind, a silent voice within continuously whispers to him "Kneel Before the Swarm..." Name: Baxter Aries

Race: Terran

Age: 25

Appearance: Average height, slimmer than most, with an obviously arrogant strut in his walk.

Biography: Baxter joined the Goliath Corps. right out of school, and has never looked back. His instructors, and later his superiors, note his brash actions on a daily basis, but through these actions he has saved the lives of no less than four of his fellow squadmates, and he is one of the youngest Majors in either the Dominion or Confederacy histories. Dr. Loueks is his grandfather, so when the decision to leave known space came down, Baxter had little choice. His battle experiences and wisdom are a premium in this new society, and as such he is a welcomed sight to everyone within the colony.

Weaponry: Standard issue Goliath War Machine. He also has the blue prints for a standard Goliath, and has been fooling around with new ideas on how to improve the machine gun lethality and missile accuracy. Name: Chi'ric

Race: Zerg

Strain: Defiler

Weapons: Defiler Spells, Also Evolved a Claw Attack

Apearance: Your average Defiler, with Blue highlights. The only outstanding things about him are his long, hydralisk-esque claws, and a frill that runs the length of his back. (NOTE: He's a detector!)

Biography: Made specificly for scouting, Chi'ric is a master of stealth and assasinations. He has served Ki'Menyu unquestioningly, and remembers when he was still taking cerebrates form... Name: Mabelson Lantash

Race: Terran

Weapon/Equipment: A modified goliath specialized in ballistic missile combat. Two large racks of Multipurpose Composite Warhead Torpedoes and a duel coolant covered guass turret on the underside compose its main armarment. Unfortunately, the guass turrets , while able to put up an uninterrupted streams of fire, are pitiful compared to their cousins, and are actually sniper weapons. A small ecm pod serves in allowing the mech and its squadmechs to pull a retreat or ambush without freakish zerg sensors or mechanical devices detecting them until they were at close range. A true blessing when melee units get too close for comfort.

Appearance: Asian in appearance, with very light brown eyes with faint squint lines, and a smile on his lips. Tussled dirty blond hair that practicly has a very life of its own. Fairly scrawny, as he seems to be unable to put enough meat on his 5'8 frame. He is unbelievable absent minded, though brilliant when it comes to Goliaths and life, and has a very sunny approach to life. Veeerrrryyy sunny, enough to make someone rip thier eyes out with his sunniness. Wears a rather battered pilots uniform with a baseball cap.

Biography: His grandfather was a scientist and anylist concerned in armored infantry. Since siege tanks were lacking in mobility, he prepared a goliath that could provide a mobile artillery platform that wouldn't be a liability in close combat. The machine was stored away in a cargo vessel and handed down to him. He grew up unable to handle a boring life as it was, and did quite well with the town's defence. His absent mindedness cuased major setbacks, and he stayed in one rank under the command of Major Baxtor.
Not that that upsets him in any way Name: Rashkor

Race: Zerg

Strain: When Ki'Menyu evolved himself into humanoid form, he created several other zerg of similar, but lesser, structure to his. Rashkor is an example of these unique zerg.

Description: Rashkor looks like a male version of Infested Kerrigan. He is basically an infested Ghost, but without actually being infested, Rashkor cannot be uninfested. He has greyish reddish skin color and burning blood -colored eyes. Rashkor is clothed in black, bony armor that looks like it was once alive and fully covers all of his body except his head, and a space on his back where his wings protrude. Rashkor can rely on his appearance alone to paralyze some terrans.

Bio: Ki'Menyu created Rashkor at the same time as he evolved into his humanoid form. Rashkor was part of an elite honor guard that would escort Ki'Menyu's new humaniod form. Rashkor was severely wounded in one of his battles and was replaced by another, more recent escort creature when it was discovered that Rashkor's DNA was corrupted, giving him an increase in cell mutations that, with the zerg's great control of their bodies, be used to improve him, evolving new abilities, but also resulted in a degenerative disease that crippled Rashkor when he went into a 'boute', destroying the parts of his nervous system that controlled his body's movement, effectively paralyzing him until he could regenerate the pathways. Name: Zuranh

Race: Zerg

Strain: Mutalisk

Weapon/Equipment: Glaive Wurms, Swoop Attack (SC:G Muta-esque), Tail Swipe

Appearance: Smaller than a normal Mutalisk, Zuranh's carapace is edged in vivid streaks of midnight black, and its tail is lined with serrated blades. While it suffers from slightly decreased stamina as a result of lesser organ functionality, it has a smaller target profile and reflexes greater than even Kukulza. As a result, a few well-placed shots can send it back for healing, but short of that it's capable of wreaking havoc with no regard for enemy defenses.

Biography: Born to serve Ki'Menyu in deep penetration raids, harassment scenarios, and scouting, Zuranh knows no purpose but the few thoughts ingrained in its mind. Added to its remarkable physique, such single-mindedness makes for unwavering dedication and superb skill in accomplishing the task at hand. Name: Redd

Race: Terran

Age: 26

Weapon/Equipment: RCS - .55 gattling gun, grenade launcher, combat blades. Person - Guass Rifle.

Appearance: 5'11", 190 lbs. Athletic build. short spikey hair, dyed red. Left eye brow pierced. Tatoo of Genesis symbol in red on his forhead. 019 tatooed on his right arm (RCS serial number). Blue eyes, caucasion. Wears white tank top and military slacks cut to the knee. Standard RCS combat boots.

Wears black RCS suit when armored up.

RCS Appearance: Black with neon green markings.

Biography: One of the first 30 (and only) RCS pilots, one of the 24 remaining. Redd served as a combat marine on the Reclamation until it was purchased by Dr. St. Loueks' corporation. He was retained on personel as a security guard, and later (towards lift off) as a RCS tester. Once Genesis was established, he was officialled ranked in the RCS squandron as number 019. His group of 6 men are charged with finding and elminating the arachnid nests.Name: Valgar Zaynskij

Race: Terran

Weapon/Equipment: Standard Issue C-13 Canister Rifle, psychokinetic abilities.

Appearance: When out of his ivory stealth suit, Valgar appears to be nothing more than the next man, neither tall nor short, neither big nor small. His muscles are well defined, of course, as expected and due of anyone who has undergone ghost training. Despite his psychic abilities, or possibly because of them, he appears less-than-imposing to each and everyone, no matter their own relative power.

His eyes are a dull, dark green, completely devoid of soul-piercing stares and haughty leers, although occasionally visited by the odd mischievous gleam, even bordering on hints of sadism every now and then.

Despite of the complete lack any manner of effort put into keeping it well-groomed, Valgar's auburn hair always seems to stick out and bend in the same, aestethically pleasing angles, cascading down pleasantly just above his ears. He doesn't even get helmet-hair from his ghost suit.

If the unimpressive psychic has any distinguishing appearance traits at all, it is the rosy luster of his skin: despite spending most of his time indoors, there is always some part of him that's bright red and peeling.

Biography: His PA profile showing incredible psionic potential, as with all ghosts-to-be, he was sent to become one of the fighting psychics, as per galactic law. Completing his training unspectacularily (as far as ghost go, ja) he was sent to on of the front lines to do battle with, well... just about everyone. Some things never change.

After serving for many years, under several commanders, against many a foe and so on and so forth, Valgar had worked himself through the ranks until he led his own group of ghost specialists. This was not come of ambition, but rather of the plain and simple truth that there was nothing worthwhile for him to occupy himself with.

Either way, a little bad luck was all it took. A wrong turn here, a zerg attack there, some protoss into the mix, and suddenly Mr. Leader found himself on a certain (and familiar to boot) space ship, just as said vessel embarked on a long trip. The rest is history. Unwritten history, that is.Name: Nathanial Horn

Race: Terran

Weapon/Equipment: Firebat Combat suit and flamethrower Carries a pistol underneath his armor in case things get too hot and he has to ditch the equipment.

Appearance: About 6'2" with sandy yellow hair and ice blue eyes, he has an impressive build which allows him to carry larger tanks for his flamethrower and has a scar on his neck from a peice of shrapnel he caught trying to get away from a set of tanks that failed during a training exercise.

Biography: Nate always loved playing with fire as a kid and against his parents best wishes he enlisted in the defense force and naturally became a firebat. He wasn't turned off by the high risk and the thought of having the ultimate lighter to play with actually made him happy. Aside from the minor accident in training he hasn't had any major problems in the service and up until recently he hasn't been needed. So due to a lack of activity he is know to be a light hearted person prone to pranks and getting into trouble.RCS Info:

Created to be the new global super-guard, Scientists in the ranks of Xavier mixed marine armor and goliath technology to make the hybrid suit, the Robotic Combat Suit. Although not as durable as the goliath, and with less firepower overall, it carries similiar gun systems as well as a greater version of the marine's standard grenade launcher mounted on each arm. What little Protoss knowledge the scientists knew was implemented, and each suit comes standard with psi blades which can be used if ammo needs to be reserved or is it.

However, humans can't maintain the blade through psionic imitions and therefore have to carry around a H-battery in order to sustain the blades. If any RCS is hit just right, it could take out several city blocks.

Robotic Combat Suit 019 picked his path through the rocky outcroppings and various different types of jungle-like vegetation as he made his way steadily towards the open cavern half a mile above his location. The others of his group threw jaunts at each other and laughed as they followed suit. Redd was the commander of the mission, however, and he was forced to keep his eyes peeled.

As him and the 4 RCSes behind got closer to the cave, the other members got more involved as the small group went through their pre-combat procedures.

"Ammo loaded and at the ready." commanded Redd.

"Check!" yelled back the battle-eager pilots.

"Armor readings normal?"

"Check!"

"Sector map ...." Redd was cut short as a boulder made him jump from his heading. The rest of the suits were just as quick, excluding 020 who nearly met his doom and had to leap aside. "Stay on your toes!" barked Redd as two guys helped the downed pilot to his feet. "Just look what one of those bastards did to Ben."

Silently the group remenisced of their 6th member, at the hospice due to a completely crushed right shoulder. The rest of the procedure was finished quickly, with military precision. They were in their mode. It was game time. Redd led the way to the opening of the cave, and the group prepared their night vision. Slowly the group stepped forward into the darkness, and began making their descent into it's depths.

Several minutes passed before they saw a single sign of what they hunted. Redd was the one to spot the mutilated form of an elk-like animal laying on the ground. The group grew closer and they began making observations. Their first was quite alarming. It wasn't the doing of the arachnid's they sought.

"Um... guys... anybody have any idea what did this? It almost looks... no it couldn't be..." The rest were thinking it. But Redd was the one to find the proof.

"Look here..." he said as he ripped a fang-like object from deep within the recesses of the animals fur. "Zerg."

Then they heard it. A large chattering of claws against stone. Shrieks of the bastards they thought they had left behind. "HEAD FOR THE ENTRANCE!" barked Redd over the comlinks. At once and in unison the combatants had their suits at full running speed. Running towards the light. The first of the zerglings had caught up by the time they reached the entrance, and the first bullets were spent. The first zerg felled.

Redd called for backup as they made their way down the mountain.

Holocaust
07-30-2006, 8:21 PM
A soft rustling of leaves could be barely audible as Rhoktar silently slithered in the Genesis Forest. Where he was going, was even unknown to him. 3 years before, Rhoktar escaped from Menyu's lab. Menyu had sent zerg agents to bring the escaped specimen back into the fold. Rhoktar was fully aware that Menyu was after him and has been on the run ever since. Just a few minutes ago, Rhoktar had hunted down an animal to consume. It's raw flesh would replenish his energies. Rhoktar carried it to a nearby cave where he could consume in the animal without being detected out in the open. But before he could devour his prey, distinct voices, distinct human voices was heard several meters away. Convinced that Menyu had sent Terrans after him, Rhoktar quickly tore his jaws away from the dead animal, accidently breaking off a fang in the process.

Menyu's agents, zerg or terran would never capture him alive, Rhoktar brooded silently. Even if a battle came up, he would be able to retaliate with his highly defined Needle Spines, claws and strong jaws that could tear through a lone zergling within seconds.

As Rhoktar headed deeper into mountain, he could hear the echos of various sounds behind him. The sound of many things running toward him, only one thing could be doing that, massed zerglings. The deeper he ventured, the darker it became, until everything became extremly dim, almost complete darkness.

If Menyu wanted to take him back, he wouldn't go back without a fight. Rhoktar turned around as the echos came closer and flared his side fins, revealing rows and rows of needle spines and hissed violently into the darkness...

Zuranh
Unknown Location
Embrace Your Birthright

Awaken.

The flood of consciousness seared Zuranh's mind, a flow of images and sounds that threatened to overwhelm him. It saw an outline of a base, and its mind pronounced it Terran, though Zuranh did not know how. It saw and heard all of the information that had been gathered, noting carefully where nothing was to be seen but a blur, and the pictures seemed ... hazy.

Alight.

Just moments before, Zuranh had been trapped in the confines of a small sac, tough and constricting. Bathing in the soft goo and absorbing the nutrients of the Creep, Zuranh now felt an unwavering need to escape, to break out ... to serve. Using muscles that it did not know it had, it stretched, slowly at first and eventually faster and faster. With a ripping tear, the lining of the Egg fell apart, and Zuranh hastened to step outside of it.

New sensations pummeled the creature, its eyes slowly adjusting to the darkness of the cave, for even that was far brighter than the absolute black of the Egg's interior. With golden-red eyes, it clearly saw the protuberances that marked Zerg structures, the long steady lines of Drones ferrying Minerals and Vespene Orbs back and forth. It saw the Overlords, drifting along and emanating their powerful thought-commands, and it saw the lines of his true brethren, dozens if not hundreds of Zerglings and Hydralisks, waiting silently for commands. Of his winged brothers, there were few, and none yet of the more advanced strains. All waited for him. Ki'Menyu.

The thoughts and information were ingrained within it. It knew what the Swarm knew. All knowledge of the Zerg was distributed evenly through all of the Zerg.

Zuranh's wings were still wet from the Egg's fluids, and it snarled in rage as it spread them out to dry in the cool air of the cavern. It could see itself from every perspective, from every other eye that was focused his way. All of the Zerg could streamline information this way, for all of the Zerg were one. Zuranh saw its comparative stuntedness of growth, and it saw the black streaks on its carapace. It examined with soft pleasure the serrated edges embedded within its long tail, and long teeth were revealed by something the Terrans would call a "smile".

Even as it did so, it saw through the eyes of others to learn and understand all there was to be learned and to be understood. It saw the Zerglings dying near the slopes of the mountains, their lingering consciousness telling Zuranh little of what it wanted to know. It saw the few Mutalisks deployed in the area to act as the eyes and ears, and most importantly, it saw him.

Serve. The voice was imperious, commanding with no doubt that the orders would be followed. More information wracked Zuranh. A renegade, trying to escape when escape was impossible. Zuranh shrieked in rage at the thought, at Ki'Menyu's thoughts. Even know, standing over the carcass of some lesser being, it thought it could evade the fury of the Swarm. This creature would be shown, the hard way.

Bring the renegade back. Alive. The voice faded, and Zuranh saw that its wings had dried. Excellent.

Running awkwardly through the caves, it saw where the light was. Eyes adapting more quickly this time, Zuranh plunged forth, its ingrained memories and instincts telling it exactly what to do, and how to. With great sweeps of the veined wings, Zuranh soared through the air, down towards the forests at the base of the mountain.

"Like a bat from Hell"
_________________

They needed to move faster. Even as the terrain sped by them, it seemed as if they were loosing ground. The deafening roar of the hundreds of zerg behind them made speaking very difficult and 020 was beginning to fall behind.

Every now and then they would point there weapons back and fire at the wall of flesh advancing on them, but to no avail. They needed to move faster.


Sweat poured down from 020's head and gathered around his neck. He was moving to slow. He was closest to the mass of evil, he was going to be the first to meet their claws. The RCSes were all going to meet their doom. There was no question about it. Unless.

Maybe. A picture formed in his head. Yes. He would do it. It was necassary for the rest of them to survive.

"Commander. It has been nice serving with you."

"Brant... what the fuck are you talking about? Get a move on soldier."

"Commander. How good is your aim?" It took awhile for him to get it out. Mostly because he couldn't hear himself talking anymore, but he was beginning to realize the weight of his decision.

Redd closed his eyes just for a second. He knew what 020 was asking him to do. "020... I ... I..." Redd faultered. "Do it now. The rest of you. RUN LIKE A BAT FROM HELL." Redd stopped moving and turned around, Brant was already facing the onslaught... nearly half a mile away. Redd's shot would make it. It had to.

He saw 020 bravely fighting off the first of the mass with his left hand blade, shooting grenade rounds into the mass with his right.

"Good bye, Commander." he got out right before Redd's well-placed bullet found it's mark on Robotic Combat Suit #020's psi-batt. Redd turned and ran as fast as his legs and the RCS suit would go.

"Holy Scheisse!"
__________________________

"Holy shit!" Three men said in chorus, each in a different part of the camp.
There was the lookout, observing the psi-battery explosion.
There was some person whose title will remain a mystery, who recieved the RCS signals.
Finally, there was the psychic who gracelessly fell out of his bunk when he noticed and recognized a psychic presence on the planet.
Approximately five-point-eighty-three seconds later, the three terrans spoke simultaneously again.
"I think we might have a problem."

Trying to Sleep

Baxter had been tossing and turning all night, but the sirens that went off throughout the barracks did not help

"Attention, all personnel! Report to the Quad immediately! I repeat, get up, and report to the Quad immediately!"

Baxter sat up in his bunk and rubbed his eyes. "What the?" His door burst open, and Mabelson stumbled in, yawning. "Mabel -- you know what's going on?"

Change in plans. The voice was imperious, and Zuranh knew not to be frustrated. So close to the target, but the voice would tolerate nothing in the way of orders.

Attack. And so it would be.

Turning on a stiff wing to the north, Zuranh dove to the treetops to avoid the radar systems used by the Terran Missile Turrets. They would know of the Mutalisk's presence, but not before they were dead. With a shrieking cry, Zuranh dove into a clearing where a detachment of Marines were dearly attempting to hold off a wave of Zerg.

Kill them. Zuranh was happy to agree with the voice. Evading the first fire by climbing suddenly and then jinking left and right, it swooped down and launched a deadly spinning Glaive Wurm, slicing through the first Marine's armor to remove his right leg and then turning radically to head to the next target. Even as the Marine collapsed, Zuranh fired another Wurm that severed its other leg, then using its claws to grasp the feeble human.

Rising once more with the dying Marine in its grasp, Zuranh ignored the first few rounds that hit its carapace, diving again and catapulting the corpse into the next clump of Marines, firing another Glaive Wurm as it did so. The eyes of the Swarm noted that the Zergling and Hydralisks were surging forth now as more and more of the fire was directed to the radically evading Mutalisk.

Diving once more, Zuranh lashed out furiously with its long, edged tail, scoring another kill and then evading once more. Only four of the original thirty Marines stood now, some others wounded but still firing as they could. For the most part, though, they were dead. Screaming in victory, Zuranh launched himself towards the last knot, launching two Glaive Wurms before slashing with its tail. As the last Marine dropped to his knees, Zuranh wheeled away, letting the ground forces deal with the crippled survivors. Zuranh had other problems.

A single scouting Wraith had seen the Mutalisk wreak havoc on the Marines, and now it was making the foolish error of attempting to attack it. Ki'Menyu's voice laughed. For its part, Zuranh dropped once more to the trees, scrambling the tracking system of the first Gemini Missiles. Unable to triangulate, they zoomed off and collided into a nearby tree.

Zuranh almost smiled at its plan, inspired by what it had just seen. Firing a Glaive Wurm into a nearby tree, it calculated where it would bounce and how, firing another directy at the Wraith, whose pilot logically tried to evade, bringing it right into the path of the first Wurm. The object tore deeply into the left wing, and the Wraith began to spiral out of control, but not before launching another salvo of Gemini Missiles. Instead of evading, Zuranh lunged forth, the Swarm knowing that the Terran explosives had proximity fuses that would not allow detonation until it was clear that it would not damage the launcher. Already close, the Wraith was powerless as the Mutalisk closed to mere feet of it, slashing off another wing before breaking away and firing one last Wurm at the fuel cells. The resulting explosion lit up the sky as Zuranh flew back to the mountain to rest. Several dozen rounds were lodged in its carapace, and shrapnel from the exploding Wraith had peppered it. But for now, its job was done. The Zerg were able to begin attacking the outskirts of the Terran base.

Gloriously done.

Chi'ric was happy.
He was hidden, and watching.
It gave him a pleasure that most would find only an overlord could gain from barely moving, and wacthing.
But Chi'ric had other tasks.
Killing. Eating. Tourtoring.
The terran male screamed as the bio-tubes restraining him pumped in chemicals that were similar to adrenilen, but also caused extrteme pain.
Chi'rics trap had been sprung, and he had a prisoner. Or food.
Chi'ric lept from the bushes, and the terran's eyes filled with fear. Chi'ric got right up in the terrans face...and pulled them out.
THe terrans screams were music to Chi'rics ears...

Rhoktar
Mountain Cave
Retaliation
-------------------------------------

The growing sounds had suddenly died away. Rhoktar was safe, for now. He headed back to the mouth of the cave to inspect his surroundings. Rhoktar, slithering toward the entrance, started to wonder to himself how he came to refer himself as a male. The Zerg race was not based on gender as reproduction was merely Hives continuously spawning larvae that morphed into different breeds. But that was not important now. Once outside, Rhoktar scanned his surroundings, nothing in sight.

Suddenly, he heard a familiar snarl admist the trees.

Zerglings

8 lept from their spots and began their assault. Rhoktar's eyelids narrowed as he hissed violently. His fins flared, and unleashed a barrage of envenomed spines upon the rushing group. 3 were viciously impaled and the rest quickly leaped out of the way. 2 Zerglings in unison leaped with their claws ready to strike. Using his sycthe-like claws, Rhoktar tore at the leaping Zerglings' abdomen and head

SSSCHHING

A zergling laid dying on the ground, a vicious, gaping wound in it's stomach. The other with a nasty cut across it's malevolent face, screeched harshly at it's fellows, beckoning
them to strike. In a flash, the remaining 4 zerglings had cornered Rhoktar. All at once, they pounced on him, ripping at his flesh. Enraged, Rhoktar impaled 2 of the beasts with his claws, swooped down and ripped at 1 with his powerful jaws, consuming it's disgusting flesh, replenishing his health and vitality. The remaining one leapt off him, and slowly backed away, baring it's fangs. Rhoktar, slowly turned toward the remaining Zergling and glared at it malevolently. In a split second, his fins flared and closed. The remaining Zergling, impaled against the side of the cave.

Suddenly, something exploded several meters away. The sounds of battle, snarling and screaming filled the area.

Zerg and Terrans

Still hungry for battle, Rhoktar went to investigate.

Mabelson broke out his biggest, best sunburst smile while shaking his superior by the collar.

"It's zerg sir, you know what they can do to us. C'mon get into your suit. We got to get stomping before all the marines are dead with the Zerg's beady red eyes are slobbering over them!"

With that he had turned, and fell through the door beleiving that he had gotten his major off his feet. He shot off his knees and ran like hell to the Goliath Bay. He shot off his tingling knees and blew out a siren while he was at it.

It wasn't as if he couldn't blame it on the zerg?

The man's hair went wild as he threw himself onto his mech, and scrambled for the footholds to the cockpit. He fell into it headfirst, before fighting to get into the seat. There he slammed on the power. A rack of floppies that were hanging off the cealing collapsed on top of his as he fingered for one of them. Gurgling with truimph, the pilot shoved the aforementioned floppy into a slot and Damning Well: the Awakening blared from the speakers.

Gracefull and deadly, the birdlike machine broke from the long muscle like pumps and was rushing out the open bay door. Torso twisting, the machine worked its feet in long strides as clods of earth was tossed away. A pair of zerglings dashed through several buildings approaching the barracks with hostile intent. Two large, menacing scythes hung from muscled limbs. Four taloned legs proppelled them along the ground with furiouse speed leaving gashes in the earth. Bundled carapace covered every inch of their bodies, but was little avail when Mabelson's Goliath adjusted and let loose with its lower turret. The dual guass rifles with coolant pumping into them, made a mechanical whine before it spewed flame, and hypersonic spikes shot out screaming. Both weapons rattled desperately in their restraining holster, as they were slowly raked around the general area of their targets. Earth was blown into clouds of dirt, kicked around in the vicinity of the two killers. Inhuman screams left their lungs as they were cut to bloody ribbons. No sooner had the last projectile left another smoking hole in their bodies, had the machine recentered its lower turret and continued toward the front line.

Genesis
Returning Home
_____________

The remaining 4 RCS pilots knew that they were safe, for the moment at least. They made their way as quick as possible to the base, nonetheless. The Zerg were going to hit Genesis. The city would need all the men it could get. As they reached town and were hailed by the cities awakened forces, they took a moment to look back at the carnage 020's psi-batt had caused. That single explosion had killed hundreds of the abominations.

They all looked at each other and Redd, not being a religious man usually, had to say a quick prayer. Brant had saved their lives.

Though the RCS bomb tactic had weakened the one flank of zerg, Redd realized how large the battle really was. He saw a mutalike minion tear through a whole squadron of marines. He saw Zerglings meeting their doom at the hands of bunkered rines. The Goliaths were just making their entrance to the field.

The Zerg wouldn't take the city easily.

But.. a sudden thought occured to Redd. Where are the rest of the RCS pilots? He didn't have to wait long for his answer. All 18 remaining RCS pilots made their entrance, and an entrance it was.

Redd smiled. RCSes were a glorious site to behold. But then the orders came in. Alpha squandron, you're on defense. Beta.... sorry boys. I know some of you just came in. You're on the offense.

Redd's heart sank... and then. It occured to him. "Come on boys, lets grill us some Zerg!" His ambitious statement was met with a blaring response. 019 and 10 other pilots headed into the fray.

Let's Fire 'er Up!


Baxter slowly stood to his feet as Mabel raced out the door and down the hall. Zerg? Here? He thought, sitting back down and putting a fresh pair of socks on. I thought we came here to get away from the Zerg? Who's dumbass idea was it to come to this planet?!

A moment later, he was joining the rest of the Goliath pilots running down the hall towards the Goliath bays, where the Goliath technicians were doing the final systems checks. Jundicator smiled at Baxter as he came to a stop by his Goliath's leg. "How is she doing, Jundy?"

"She is high, fine, and ready to rip!" Jundicator replied, tossing the 'ignition' keycard to Baxter. "I've loaded half of your missile pods with the regular missile salvos, and gave you half of those incendiary versions you tested last week. Let's hope to perform as well this morning as they did then."

Baxter nodded and reached up for the hand-holds that lead up to the cockpit. "Yes, lets."

Baxter's Goliath, the Titan shook the ground as it gracefully loped out of the loading bay. Taking a quick view of his surroundings, he could see the battle raging to the West, but he was momentarily distracted by a Zergling falling off of Mabel's gunarm. "Reaver company, do a sweep of this area and stick close to base. I don't want any of these things getting past this point and attacking our technicians. Shadow company, take the left flank, Air Raid company take the right. Dragon Lance company, you're up the center with my boys. Alright men, let's move out!"

Reaver's 12 Goliaths fanned out and began searching for any hidden Zerglings, and the other companies quickly formed up, and headed towards the battlefield as one. "Command, Major Baxtor reporting in -- we are hot and en route. Requesting a science vessel to coordinate with Reaver company to smoke out potential bogies around Goliath bays and Nova Factory."

*Lurker, name your company. Whatever you want.

Mabelsons' lower turret that hung from the torso was still smoking when Baxter's voice ,mangled by the radio, barked orders through the coms.

"Dragon Lance company, you're up the center with my boys. Alright men, let's move out!"

The younger man smiled ruefully. How the hell did he get to be in charge of an entire company of battlemachines? Something to do with experiance. However, he somehow managed to get away with no damage at all to his company during bug-hunting.

His feet pumped away, and the machine manuevered closer to the superior's mech. He noted the drastic difference between the two machines. Two of the gunarms that were on Baxter's golaith were replaced with large missile racks on Mabelsons. The lower turret differed with it being composed of two guass rifles instead of the large auctocannon. Baxter's Titan had an unadorned back, while Mabelson's machine toted a large pod.

Mabelson brought his eyes to the myriad of scopes in his cockpit and began marking targets for his missiles. A whole musical score of target lock tones filled his ears, and he depressed the trigger.

The two large racks that hung from one of the mechs exploded to life. A new years day worth of flashy fire burst from the containers, and smoke filled the air. His missiles hailed down upon the swarms of Zerg, creating brief infernos that crisped all inside their blast raduis. Shrapnel snapped from the impact and sheared Zerg to peices.

"C'mon Dragon Lance company! Show me that you know what I mean!"

In seconds, most of his company followed their leader's example, and weaponry leaped away from their pods. A good portion of the enemy wave was thoroughly saturated, before fresh zerg replaced the losses.

Hypersonic rounds exploded from turrets and shattered zerg bodies. Before he yelled to Baxter through the coms ,"Sir! I'm engaging ecm. It won't disrupt our sensors, but it might bug out the huds for a second. Tell the new guys to expect it please."

Firebat
Fun is a lit cigarette and some napalm
************************************************** **
The blaring alarm didn’t help Nate’s senses at all. He had just crawled back into bed and his head was killing him from the previous night’s activities. The siren felt like a knife being twisted around in his senses as he stood up and stumbled off towards the quad and his locker where his combat equipment was. He was halfway there when his mind began to clear and he suddenly realized that there was an emergency.

“Oh shit…” Was all he had time to mutter when he heard the gunfire and the explosion as something crashed into the forest surrounding the perimeter. His dazed stumble immediately shifted into a run as he joined the flow of personnel running to the quad to arm themselves against the as of yet unknown threat.

Nate turned the corner to get to his locker and slammed into the door when he couldn’t stop in time. He keyed in his combination and opened the door grabbing his armor and pulling it on as quickly as he could, starting with the pants and moving on to the torso armor and flame gauntlets. He looked both ways and spotted a buddy of his from training also getting suited up. He whistled and threw his head to the side in a come here motion as he worked his fingers in the thick insulated gloves.

“What’s up sparky?” He asked as he finished cinching the straps to his pants. He looked Nate up and down and smiled as he caught on. Nate smiled back and tucked his head in as his friend strapped his helmet down. The mask and suit were heavy but he could handle it.

“Hey, one more favor bud, can you hook my tanks up to the torches?” He asked as he tested the external microphones on the suit.

“Yah sure thing, just don’t go blowing yourself up out there big guy, I don’t feel like sweeping your stupid ass off the floor.” The man joked as he knocked twice on the tanks to let Nate know he was cocked and locked.

***Ten Minutes Later***

Fully fueled and armed Nate stood at the threshold, he was sweating profusely inside his suit but he couldn’t stop shaking. Adrenaline and intense fear turned his blood into an icy sludge that hurt to pump. Zerg? Here? This wasn’t happening, it couldn’t be happening; they had left them behind almost a hundred years ago.

“Attention soldiers! We are going to open the gate in five seconds get ready to go!” A perimeter guard shouted out as he worked the levers that operated the gate his voice snapping Nate out of his reverie. His head snapped up and the gates clanked aside revealing a wasteland of dead bodies and blood soaked ground. Nate ran out into the fray joining the already insane confrontation and adding his own considerable voice to the chorus.

He flicked a trigger inside his glove that heated the coils in his nozzles while the tanks pressurized. The tanks pressurized just as a group of zerglings broke through the marine line in front of him.

“Eat shit you alien bastards!” Nate roared as he pulled the second trigger sending a jet of pressurized fuel through the nozzle where it ignited on contact with the heated coils sending a piece of hell downrange. The fire splashed over the onrushing zerglings and washed them away in a sea of fire and hellish screeches of pain as the intense heat caused the aliens to burst as the gases inside their body exploded. He spun on his heel and pulled the trigger again sending more of the hellish concoction down range where its splashed and flowed like a river across the corpses of marines and zerglings alike before finding its target. The heat was making the air shimmer in waves as another wave of zerglings with hydralisk support moved in to fill the small breech.

Several marines moved up on either side of Nate as they moved to plug the gap. Their gauss rifles opened up peppering their carapaces with little holes and fragments as they continued to rush on. Nate smiled and flicked the gas trigger sending the fuel jetting through the superheated coils once more. The fuel flowed along the lines on his arms and actually felt cool as it flowed, this was a sharp contrast of course to the fire at his fingers. The fires of hell burned the group down filling the wounds the gauss rifle had opened up and burning the Zerg alive from the inside out. Their mouths opened to screech but fire poured in before they could utter a sound.

Across the battlefield chaos ensued, the Goliaths and RCS units had entered the scene and were giving the Terran forces at least the edge they needed to stay on foot but they would need some more help and maybe some bigger guns to win this battle without a shadow of a doubt. For now all Nate could do though was turn and burn.

Rhoktar considered whether or not to jump into the battle and ravage every single thing that came in sight. But something flashed by his mind just then.

An image

Something soaring.

A Zerg breed

With black carapace.

A Mutalisk

Out to hunt him down.

Ki'Menyu...

In the mountains.

He turned to face the mountains once more. He would seek out the Mutalisk, somehow it seemed wise to do so...

IC:
The scene before them was intense. Wave upon wave of Zerglings crashed down upon the rushed-together defenses. One look told Baxter they would not hold long.

"Alright, men, just like I said. Let's form a defensive perimeter on either side of the bunker line, and hold the line with every electrode in our systems!!" A roar poured through the comm. system, and Baxter waited patiently for the cheers to die down and for the two flanking companies to leave for their respective positions before continuing. "Mabel, take your company to the front -- I'm going to from an air-defensive line across the board."

Mabel acknowledged the order and moved his company out. "Alright, Demonslayers, let's spread out. Evenly, from one flank, to the other, and keep your eyes on the skies!"

The Goliaths spread out, so that there was one missile rack for ever ten feet. The last Goliath got into position, and Baxter turned his attention to the sky just in time.

The Muta's were coming.

(OOC: Hardly. The Terrans will kneel in defeat before the planet makes a revolution around the sun.)

IC:

Zuranh screamed its rage at the sight of twenty-three Mutalisks veering in formation across the sky, heading towards the Terrans. If it didn't understand that leaving wounds untreated was foolish in the long run, it might just have decided to follow them back to add another layer of pain to the Terrans.

Perching in the Spire, Zuranh let the energy of the Creep wash through it's body, sealing wounds and erasing tiredness as it passed slowly through it. The process, it knew, would leave it physically tired, which only a few hours of rest could solve. Closing its wings, Zuranh let the Zerg form of sleep take it, easing the heartbeat and respiration down to dangerously low levels, with the brain watching continuously through the eyes of the Swarm.

Healing would not take forever, and soon Zuranh would be back on the field. It smiled in its "sleep".

First of all, its a fucking town! Not a military encampment!

I would like to know, how on Earth your thing got here? The only zerg that every reached this planet was Ki'menyu! And he was just a cute little drone!

Also, we didn't know zerg were there till the RCS' were hit. So scouting never happened.

Veeger
08-01-2006, 5:18 PM
First of all, its a fucking town! Not a military encampment!

He has a point, LOL

I was of the impression he was reliving memory from the original drone. As if the memories became part of the new Swarm, and they all relived the memories to further enhance their anger and strength and hatred.

You are not free of the Swarm, however. That part does need to change -- you are part of the new Overmind, who is directing your actions now.

Dude, chill -- calm down with the swearing. We're not giving you a job interview shakedown, we're trying to help you better yourself. In this case, your RP skills.

You cannot go jump off a cliff and fly, can you? When participating in a Role Play, you are assuming the role of a person, or character. Your character may be a little stronger than you, but we still try to keep some things in check. A zergling, for example, would not be able to lift a mountain, would he?

Why don't you go back and alter a few of your posts, changing them to the memories of Ki-mumu (I'm not even going to attempt, lol), so they will fit into the story, and then adjust any of the present posts to fit the storyline. Story is most important in a RP, so make sure you reread the starting post thoroughly. If you post something out of synch with the story flow, you're going to risk upsetting a few people. Don't take it personally, back off and adjust your posts to fit the story.

Don't fight the story, work with the story.

OOC: I have to agree with Veeger, you just have to make sure that everything goes with the story, you can't have a character who you think is awesome but doesn't fit you must keep things in check, the easiest way to get into a story line is to attach yourself to another character and follow him around until you get your footing, you can still do flashpbacks but i suggest you do a flashback, then a contribution to the story where it is revealing character traits and the like, once you are fully into the story and are confident about your playing ability to take some risks on your own then you can do that, but posts that are only flashbacks don't work too well without some support to go along with them

The Mutalisks swooped down upon the Terran force like bats, and the marines opened the floodgates to meet them. Mutalisks dropped by the dozens, but there were so many they were not staved. "Fire at will, fire at will!" Baxter cried into the comm. unit. "Blow these twisted creations out of existence!" Every Goliath sprayed the sky with Gemini Missiles, practically creating a wall which the Mutalisks could not breach.

Baxter just happened to look down, and saw Zerglings tearing into the Marines, who had stopped paying attention. Baxter opened the emergency channel and heard the screams of pain and panic coming from the line. "Marines, focus on the ground forces! We'll protect your heads, you protect our feet!"

Rashkor

Be ordered to the place of battle
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Rashkor, I have need of you once again. I am glad I had the foresight not to destroy you when I discovered your disease. For I cannot risk losing one of my own elites, and the zerg require reinforcements. You will join the battle at this location ("A stream of sensations flooded Rashkor's mind as Ki'Menyu gives Rashkor the location of the battle") Of course, my master. I will join the battle, at once. Haste is of importance, and your own wings will not be of enough speed, I have charged a mutalisk with the task of bringing you to the battlefield, I have much to concentrate on, right now, so I will conserve energy by relaying information to you through your replacement in my guard. Fight well, my servant.

Rashkor left the hive he was presently in, and hurried toward the cliff he was instructed to wait at for the mutalisk to pick him up. He idly wondered why he was instructed to wait for a mutalsik, when he was just as fast on his own. He knew that his endurance would run low in the time it would take in the air to fly there, but he could always just absorb a couple worthless zerglings to bring back his strength. "It must be a mutalisk of special talents, a genetically modified one, with far greater speed than the average mutalisk. As his thoughts became left occupied with questions, he bagan to view the battle through the eyes of other minions at the batlefield, and plan his strategy.

Battle


The battle taking place behind Rhoktar continued to rage. He decicded that the search for the Mutalisk would have to wait. It was time to show both Terran and Zerg what he was made of...

Rhoktar rushed into the city, admist the powerful explosions searching for opponents.

"I found one of them!"

A human was calling his comrades, they were going to attack Rhoktar.

"Die, Terran"

Rhoktar flared his fins, just about to attack...

Wait.

Zuranh ceased all movement instantly, perched precariously on the edge of one of the Spire's appendages. When He told one to wait, one waited, whether they were about to be shot down or in the process of chasing down the enemy commander.

There is another. Bring Rashkor with you.

The images flowed deeply into Zuranh's mind, and it wasted no time in swooping from its perch towards a cliff that seemed to be etched deeply into its mind. New energy sustained its wingbeat, and it shrieked a cry of pleasure to feel the wind rushing under its wings.

Careful, young one.

Zuranh directed 'saw' the Goliath advancing from the Mutalisk's left flank, turning about to strike it down with contemptuous ease.

No time. Go to Rashkor.

Screaming with fury, Zuranh turned once more, diving to avoid the first set of Hellfire Missiles streaking towards it. Zuranh had foolishly betrayed his position in its attack dive, and now the machine had a perfect acquisition signature against the Mutalisk.

Running was no use; the missiles were easily faster than the Mutalisk, and Zuranh decided to strike them down in a soft kill. Finding a rather unusually large tree ahead of it, it rocketed towards the growth, 'seeing' the distance between the Missiles and itself decrease. Upon reaching the tree, Zuranh began using its profile as a shield, descending down its length in a spiral. Above it, Zuranh noticed that it had worked; the Missiles' computers overreacted to the radical maneuver, smashing into the tree.

Good. Now Go To Rashkor.

The insistence was undeniable. Screaming once more in irritation, Zuranh began searching the clifftops.

Mr.Bad
08-11-2006, 10:00 PM
Rashkor saw Zaranh flying towards him in the distance. " Looks rather shrimpish, it doesn't even look like it could hold my weight, but it is flying towards me at an extremely high rate, if it can fly at this speed, then even with me on it, it would be going twice as fast as a normal mutalisk in maximum exertion." By this time Zuranh had arrived. Rashkor briskly walked up to Zuranh until he was just 15 feet from him. Then, in one fluid motion, he turned his walk into a thrust and propelled himself over the distance and landed squarely on Zuranh's back. Rashkor didn't know why, but he liked to display his power, he knew of the advanages of such displays on other sentients, but such acts were wasted on the zerg. Bring me to the battlefield Zuranh. Rashkor then slipped into deep thought as he planned his strategies, and a slight tinge worry crossed his mind at the thought that he might have a 'boute' during the fight. This would put him in a position of great weakness, and the terrans might have a chance to destroy him during his disablement. And if he was destroyed, Ki'Menyu would not ressurect him, because his degenerative disease renders him inferior and he would not be worth the energy.
