"Yeah, yeah, I'm up. Hold your horses."
"Commander, please come to the control center immediately. We have arrived."
With this, I got out of bed, putting on my military jacket. I went to the control room. I put on a headset and began speaking.
"Captain Allan? What have we got?"
"Commander, we have 4 SCVs ready, and enough minerals for one more. There is a large expanse of minerals and gas for future opearions."
"Good. Put the minerals into the SCV now, and order the others to gathering."
"Yes sir. Apoc, Kane, Ben, Alex. Get to work mining those crystals, stat."
A short chrous of "Yes Sir"'s came through my headset, and they went to mining.
"As we get mineral production up, I want the 7th SCV to make a barracks, then a supply depot. Afterwards, do whatever you feel is best for our continued operations. I'm going to get some sleep."
"Yes sir," Allan said, then I went back to my room. During that day, I dreamt of a strange female Zerg, similar to a Hydralisk, only not, and extremely beautiful. This female fought alongside a group of Terrans, wearing our colors, attacking a protoss base, but then there was nothing.
"Commander, we have a visitor, please get to the Control room, now," The Adjutant said.
"Damn, what is it this time?" I muttered to myself as I went to the control room. When I arrived, I was shocked to find a protoss warrior standing there, waiting.
"What? Who are you, what do you want here?" I said to the warrior, with obvious hostility.
"Relax, human. I came not to fight, but to offer an alliance. I am Khaelin, speaking for our tribe, Ralax.
"Why? What do you want from us? Whats in it for you, Khaelin?"
"Mutual protection. There are 3 other known groups in this area. One group of renegade Terrans. One group of Zerg," I was slightly startled at this revelation, this could be the group from my dream, "And a group of Protoss who branched from our tribe, who have earned a dishonorable death we are as yet unable to give them."
"Fine, I will accept the alliance. Take some of my men with you to your base. As for now, I'm going to go for a walk," I said, saluting Khaelin.
Khaelin returned the salute and left, with three of my men. I followed after them a ways, going out to see how much has been built. I found a small group of depots, next to an Academy. Looking the other way, I saw a refinery along with a barracks. Nodding to myself, I went to the barracks, picking up a combat vest and rifle, then went to scout for future expansions. I looked at the stream near the trail, then looked up, shocked again, seeing the female hydralisk thing from the dream. It looked at me without hostility, slithering towards me slowly. I lowerd my gun.
"Human leader, I am Sssirona, of what isss left of the furinaxxx tribe. We need asssssissssstancce. Will you help usss?" She hissed, and I nodded.
"The dream was right," I muttered to myself, then spoke up. "We will assist you, but I need to you lead me to your hatcheries, so I know where to send troops when they are needed.
Sirona nodded slightly, and the two of us went north. In about 30 minutes we arrived at the Zerg encampment. They had only a few sunken colonies, a spawning pool, and a hydralisk den. I also saw shiftings in the ground, recognizing them as lurker holes. Nervous as hell I was, but I followed Sirona towards the hatchery. Then I heard the sounds of gunfire.
"Damn," I muttered and turned around, while Sirona slithered back to defend the encampment. Then she got shot at.
"Sirona!" I yelled and, practicing a technique I learned while training on Tarsonis, I jumped at her with my left shoulder while firing at the opposing terrans with the gun in my right hand. It was then I realized that the men I was firing at were my own.
"Hold your fire, hold your fire!" I yelled at them in the commanding voice that they had come to recognize.
"Commander, is that you?" the leader of the group said, while they were being patched up by a pair of medics, then he stepped forward, raising his visor.
"Allan. What the hell are you doing here?"I said, recognizing him.
"Well, Jared, one of the marines, Nathan, saw you following a Zerg, that one," Pointing at Sirona, "And we thought you were in trouble, so here we are."
"Well the Zerg are an ally now, along with the Protoss force. But there is another group of terrans and a protoss band somewhere out there," I said, then motioned to Sirona, "She comes with us, along with 5 other Hydralisks, alright?"
"Sir yes sir!" Allan said with a half-mocking salute, then they moved out, going back towards the base.
Halway there, Allan spoke to me in private.
"Why are you hanging with those Zergies, esspecially that Sirona chick?"
"Well, I had a dream that we were working alongside of Zerg, and I recognized her from the dream, and I guess I'm getting attached, But whatever... mother of God, no!" I yelled and saw a large group of Zealots rushing towards the base. We ran forward to defend the base, and launched a lot of rifle fire and spines at them, but it was inneffective, and the base fell, along with half our marines, and all but Sirona of the hydralisks, before the zealots were killed off.
"Damn, now what are we going to do?" I said, and could see nothing but the rubble around.
