Made when reading John Chao's Leviathan. But, unlike his, which has no cheats, first person view, mine is going to be a cheater in 3rd person.

Commander Dash, looking down on his troops, saw nothing special. His large base (having taken many hours to complete) was perfect. When the Zerg attacked, the were repelled. But, of course, with losses. How he hated to hear the men scream when an ultralisk tore through them. So, after making his base, he made "watches", when a marine was under half health, Dash sent the guy to an area filled with field medics, and another marine took his place. The first marine was then put at the end of the line, so to speak.
But there would always be losses. Always.
That was, until he heard of the miracles.
The miracles, he debated. While not a religious man, he had seen the results, seen his own teacher try them, but failed, so, like a good student, didn't try them. But reports were coming in everyday that the miracles had made victory possible when defeat was assured.
Miracles worked by a weird bug in the communications system. You typed in a phrase, and a message came up. Cheat enabled. And life "didn't" have cheats.
The miracles were powerful, but no one had tested there extent.
He heard 'power overwhelming' could give you invincibility. And 'operation cwal' gave you the fastest building/training speed. 'show me the money' giving other commanders 1000 resources. 'food for thought' letting commanders have an insane amount of units. 'black sheep wall' giving the entire mad to the people who used it. Even a code to win the mission, a 'there is no cow level', reminiscent of an old game, for personal computers in the late-20th and early 21st, Diablo.
So, always the one to try new things, he typed in the one that seemed the most useful.
'Power overwhelming'.
Suddenly, kinda scaring him, the message that was supposed to be there came up.
Cheat enabled.
Then, tentatively, sent out a marine into an oncoming Hydralisk attack.
The marine, willing, but apparently wondering, charged in, stimmed up, and fired his Gauss rifle into the pack of aliens. 1 down, 6 to go. 2 down, 5 to go. The marine's health was full. After 3 minutes of gunfire, the marine just stood there. Dash radioed him personally, congratulating him on his enormous triumph. The marine, seeing some Zerglings attacking a purple bunker (Dash was light blue), and a purple base, radioed his commander. He was sent in. He, now getting the idea, charged in, gun blazing for all he was worth. He, inadvertently uncovered a medium sized purple out-post, the last thing they had besides they're bigger, main base. The purple base was in dire need of reinforcements, but didn't have the resources for them.
So, Dash, not wanting his new ally to be wiped out, sent over a large force of vultures, marines, and firebats. Sending over half his force wasn't a good idea, so he made more, but the Zerg might attack when he was making more.
'Operation cwal'. 'Show me the money' 3 times. And, so he could find more allies (wherever they may be) 'black sheep wall'.
The results were amazing. Almost instantly, the 5 queued Vultures were made. Same with the marines and firebats. So, he made more.
He decided to use another, as they seemed to work. 'Food for thought'. Then, he started building like crazy. But his resources ran out, making him use 'show me the money' a couple hundred times.
So many cheats. He looked at all his marines, SCVs, Siege Tanks, command centers, Wraiths, even 10 ghosts. He looked at his uncovered map. 8 different armies! He decided to see who the brown base was. Protoss. So were green, yellow and red. A very large black base was taking up the whole corner. And little black dots running around. So, he went to the huge black base and found Cerebrates.
Not one.
Not two.
But three cerebrates. There were too many when there were one, but three?
Well, he had miracles galore.
He zoomed around the base a bit, and then came across the scariest sight he'd ever seen. 500 Zerg, looking extra blood-thirsty. He, like a compassionate commander sent out warnings to his ally, the only other Terrans on Polaris 1.
The ally, not being able to stand another attack, joined up with Dash.
And, again being the compassionate being sent the marine who was his experiment to the Protoss bases to warn them.
They weren't very nice.
The poor guy came back with burns and Reaver damage, but no harm, he said he felt great.
