"My Queen, our scouts have just discovered a massive wave of Zerg in high orbit. Hundreds of Zerg have landed upon Tarsonis and are even now approaching our location! A number of our outposts are already under attack by the renegade Swarm!"

Duran's report came quick, in the heavy staccato of his Zerg-modulated voice. Kerrigan's expression scrounged up. Of course. She could not have expected to rest longer than she had.

"So, the UED is testing out their control of their pet Overmind," she said, thoughtfully. "I had hoped to lay low after we razed Korhal, but it seems the UED is intent on forcing my hand." She turned away from the screen, dismissing Duran without as much as a word.

He was a capable field commander, but she was going to need someone more precise for this job. "River," she called, "Report to my Hive at once."

"My Queen."

Duran's voice ran as a niggling interruption of Kerrigan's own thoughts, disconnected as they had been. River had returned safely and in one piece, but she had known better than to expect that the visit hadn't thrown her for a loop. There was also the matter of Adama, of course-- eventually, she was going to have to find him... but not until after the slaughter had completed. And right now, it seemed to run in some danger of ever being completed.

( She blinked once... )

Barely five minutes into his explanation, she was already barking River's name across the mindlink.

Sarah Kerrigan was really getting tired of these motherfucking rebel Zerg in her motherfucking sector.
