The Overmind's Staging Ground, Aiur, Wednesday
Amidst the green, green jungles of Aiur, the Overmind was truly a creature of great majesty. It was a living, beating, pulsing heart tapped straight into the collective group mind of the Zerg, its limbs reaching far into the sky, plugged comfortably into an ocean of creep.
Kerrigan stood before that presence. That great, grand presence. There was nothing she could do but obey, and yet...
KERRIGAN, it spoke, YOU ARRIVED EARLIER THAN ANTICIPATED.
"I wished to give River a chance to hunt real prey," she said, obediently, "And your call is my command."
THE PROTOSS FOOLS ARE PLANNING ANOTHER SIEGE. Its voice was heavy. It laid as strongly on her mind as a million mountains. She swallowed. AND WHILE I HAVE NO DOUBT THAT WE CAN WITHSTAND ANY INCH OF THEIR RESOLVE, I SENSE THAT IT IS NOT YET YOUR TIME TO JOIN US IN OUR CRUSADE ON AIUR.
She bit back an exhale, a tremble of faded anticipation. "What is it you wish for me, then?" she asked, "My brood and I are more than ready to take up arms against those blasted, uptight--"
I WISH FOR YOU TO RETURN TO CHAR, it interrupted. FOLLOW THIS LEAD ON TERRAN KNOWLEDGE YOU SPOKE OF.
Sure, some human part of her grimaced, throw that one back in my face. "By your will," she said, "I will find the Terran Science Vessel and return to you fully suited for battle."
THEN SO BE IT, MY DAUGHTER. She sensed the dismission before it even came, an endless psychic pricking in the back of her neck, suddenly doubled in intensity. GO FORWARD.
She turned and left without another word. It wasn't necessary.
