A/N: Udestae (OO deh stay)

Kylpirsva (kill PERS vah)

Udestae plodded on down the hallway in the normal Protoss fashion, following the signs in order to locate the command room. Along the way, he glanced into room, a few of which the occupants screamed (such as the women's bathroom).

Once he entered the command room, he noticed the human that was arguing with Kylpirsva was seated in a chair in front of the commander's desk.

'He must be Captain Carson," Udestae thought, even though it was pretty obvious.

"Sit down!" screamed the lady behind the desk. The name tag on her jacket said Commander Octavia Bren. You may recognize this name from the second book in the Starcraft Trilogy, Shadow of the Xel'Naga. You see, after the alien creature was released on Bhekar Ro, Emperor Mengsk made Octavia a commander on this prison ship (instead of on the battlecruisers like most commanders). "What happened?"

"One of the Protoss decided to hit Lieutenant Hung, and as you know, Commander, the Lieutenant doesn't take too well to being hit."

"Shut up," Octavia said, apparently annoyed. "I was talking to the Praetor, thank you very much. Now, Udestae is it? You tell me what happened."

"Okay," Udestae began. "Kylpirsva, the one who was attacked, he and I sat down at a table next to this man, er...Captain Casper I think is his name. Anyway, I started a conversation, asking them why they were on this ship. After they replied, Kylpirsva contradicted what they were saying, telling them that you Terran are 'better off now than you ever were' or something like that. This, of course, upset them and they began to argue. Kylpirsva made a rather nasty remark, which I will not repeat. And then the overgrown marshmallow..."

"HIS NAME IS LIEUTENANT HUNG!" screached the Captain. He was getting angrier with every word Udestae spoke. After every one of Udestae's sentences, a new vein popped out on the Captain's head. Anger isn't easily controlled by someone who has used stimpacks for over 20 years. He was bound to burst sometime. "YOU WILL SPEAK OF HIM AND THE CONFEDERACY WITH RESPECT!"

With those words, the Captain jumped out of his chair and started moving toward Udestae. Octavia sighed and shook her head. She pulled out a tazer and shot him clean in the chest. Udestae couldn't help but laugh as the small human fell to the ground and lie there unconscious, the veins still clearly defined.

Octavia gave a little giggle, but pretended not to notice the man. "Continue with your story Praetor."

"Hmm? Oh, anyway, Lieutenant...Hack or Hoj or something yelled at Kylpirsva and started charging at him. We were all caught by surprise, so we couldn't stop him. All of us Protoss tried to stop him with our psionic abilities, but he began to fight more fiercely. He tackled Kylpirsva and nearly beat him to death. Then the marines rushed in and broke up the fight."

"I see," Octavia said as she nodded her head. "You're sure that's how it happened? You didn't leave out any details? Not even minor ones?"

"I have told you everything I can recall."

"Alright then. Is he awake yet? Well, you're dismissed. He will be dismissed once he wakes up."

Udestae rose from his seat, attempted a Terran salute (which resulted in his poking himself in the eye), and walked out the door. As he strode down the hallway toward his cell, he would hear the Captain's voice screaming about the tazer. Udestae let out a little chuckle and turned into the penitentiary section. The guard at the end of the hallway opened the cell door for him as soon as he reached it.

"So," cam the voice of Kylpirsva, "what happened?"

"The commander wanted me to tell her what happened at breakfast. You're looking better, and feeling better by the sounds of it."

"Yeah, those Terrans really know their medical stuff. They treated me really good too. Of course, that might have something to do with my threatening the nurse that if she didn't give me the red carpet treatment, that I would haunt her in her mind for the rest of her life."

This comment was followed by a long period of laughing. But the guard quieted them down once again, forcing them to lie down and sleep until lunch.

A/N: This was probably my worst chapter yet. But, if you are still reading this story, I will update soon.
