My Queen.
Why?
Why all of this?
We were brought into the Swarm together. Indeed,
my whole existence was to protect you while you laid dormant within the
crystalis.
And then. When you emerged my Queen of Blade. The
Overmind praised me, me, the youngest of the Cerebrates in a task well
done: for having protected you from harm.
Then when you invaded the Terran vessel so you may
gain the full scope of your power. It was my purpose and pleasure directing
my new formed Brood to protect you. You still called your Queen
of the Zerg. What meaning does Queen of Blades hold for you?
I felt Zasz was a 'worry wart' as the Terran phrase
it. That your attack on the Protoss forces was logical. They had invaded
the home world and needed to be dealt with. That you were seeking one
Protoss in particular meant little.
Then Zasz died. The first of us to die. I did not
know he would only be the first. I felt like I was betraying you leaving
you on the home world to hunt for the remain Templars alone. I should of
been
there with you. But those were the commands of the Overmind, and I
lived to obey. When the Overmind died, my first course of action was not
to join with the other Cerebrate to bring back our master.
It was to find you. I and my Brood left Auir for Char, knowing that
was where you had last been. Then on Tarsonous we met. And you declared
me yours and yours alone. And you made it clear who
was in charge.
Samir Deran. Your ally, you comrade. Where was he when the Dominion,
Protoss and UED combined their force in the attack I had to all alone protect
you from.
Deran betrayed the Dominion to the UED, he betrayed the UED to you,
I wonder who he shall betray you to. For as Zasz sensed something different
of Tassadar son of Aldun. I too. Sense something
wrong with this infested Terran. But you will not listen. As you did
not listen with Zasz. Your are still your own worst enemy my queen. Or
perhaps you are as I am. You are lonely. I am last of the
Cerebrates. The last remnant of our race's power structure. Before
there was always the Overmind and the other Cerebrates. Then Zasz died,
then the Overmind died, then Dragooth died. Everyone
died. Perhaps you wish to be among equals, as I do, and you will never
except me as an equal.Perhaps you can one day with Duran. And this frightens
me.
Why?
Why did you kill them on Korhal?
We could of used their help in taking Char. What was the point. And
even then what would of been the point. You've won, the Overmind is dead,
the other Cerebrates are dead, you are uncontested in
your command of the Swarm. And yet you strive for more. Why? If you
had remained their ally they would of let us be forever. They would of
considered no threat. And we could of continued of
genetic, evolutionary experiments in peace. But does that mean anything
to you now? Does the grand plan our race once had hold anything to you?
Does anything hold anything to you?
Why did you slaughter the Protoss and the human called 'Duke' and not
the one called 'Rainor'? The one who came to Char seeking you out. The
one who was given the honor to bear witness to your
rebirth into the Swarm? He has vowed to kill you. And I know he will
be true to his word.
Will you never understand that allies are more practical than enemies?
As long as you were my agent, I could not tell you, and now that I am yours I still can not tell you. That I loved you.
Comments and flames, etc welcome.
