Ulaan, Koprulu Sector, Saturday

Zeratul was a pain in the ass.

Days, Kerrigan had wasted in pursuit of this xel'naga 'prophecy', while the people of Fandom were on their inane trip. She had gone to the deep dark reaches of Ulaan, so far away in space, hoping that Zeratul's detour through Fandom had thrown him far and wide off the path.

It had thrown him, all right. But not nearly far enough.

Kerrigan's claws tore through the deserted protoss Stalker like it was nothing. She felt no joy in the act: Zeratul had escaped her trip again, and no amount of protoss slaughter would make up for it. Why did he insist on fighting the future, when it was obvious there was little anyone could do about it?

She needed to find and complete this prophecy. Soon.

The protoss's metal exoskeleton crashed to the ground at her feet. She ignored it, and reached out psionically. Zeratul had to be here somewhere.

Kerrigan? River sent from far away, sensing the emotions.

Please tell me you're having better luck on Artika, said Kerrigan, succinctly. We have a bit of a flea in our pelt here...

No luck, but no disasters. Yes, River was a little bored. Need help squashing a flea?

No Overlord would make it here fast enough, Kerrigan said, dismissively. I am on Ulaan; Prelate Zeratul, or whatever he calls himself these days, made an appearance at Fandom. Speaking of xel'naga prophecies hidden here... but he didn't have the decency to disappear afterwards.

In Fandom? That was quite a journey for him to take.

River paused.

Any details on the prophecies, or why?

It's xel'naga and speaks of the end of the universe, said Kerrigan, sounding solemn, a little dry, and a little dark all at once. I do not believe he found himself in Fandom on purpose - even he isn't that annoying.
