STARCRAFT: KERRIGAN'S REBIRTH

PROLOGUE



From the Demented Mind of David "HML" Liao

Copyright circa 2000

Over the passage of countless millennia, the Great Overmind of the Zerg has never once been truly "happy".



He remembers the day he first felt the Calling Of A Million Voices.

He remembers the day he first knew-knew he was created to conquer...

He remembers the day his Jorgamund Brood first defeated the antiquated Xel'Naga.

He remembers the day his Queens assimilated the dune-runners of Zz'gash to become the virulent Zergling strain.

He remembers it all.

But he has never once been truly happy.



But when he senses what lies before him, he almost is.

Through the mind's eye of his Cerebrate, he senses the battle.

He smells the pungent smell of Terran blood.

He feels the searing and smoldering ruins of Terran bunkers.

But that is not what interests him.



His focus is fixated on one Terran.

The Terran is lying on the spreading Creep near death.

Its psionic power resonated like a psionic cell.

Even Zasz has a mental shiver.

The Overmind took direct mental control of a a nearby Overlord.



The Terran has a piece of metal with inscriptions deeply clenched in its hands.

But as the Overlord slowly descends downwardly to envelop the Terran into its ventral sacs, the Terran slowly loses its grip on the small slip of rusting iron.

It dangled out of its hand and then bounced onto the Creep which had, by now spread all over the battlefield.

The piece of metal was damaged by the grooved needle spines shot by hydralisks during battle.

There was only one word left that could barely be read.

KERRIGAN
