I don't own starcraft, it belongs to blizzard and yadda yadda.
Episode 1- the brief visit
A room, brightly lit with artificial lights. With a desk, chair and computer. Nothing special, office like any other. Except its location, and the person behind it.
.
"Knock, knock" sounds from the door. A harsh "Enter" is the answer. A man in a lab coat walks in, and stands some distance before the desk as metal doors slide closed behind him.
.
"What is it?" Says the sitting woman, looking up from her screen.
"Director, I have the report you wanted" says the man looking a little uneasy.
"How bad is it?"
"Could be worse, but the potential candidate is not compatible, in many ways".
Sigh, the director starts to massage her temples, "great, more problems". Looking up at him she says "details, I need details".
.
"Well… to begin with, his psionics are all wonky, what's more, psionic used on him are acting weirdly too"
"In what way, exactly?"
"He can't read someone else's thoughts, and vice versa. The three available agents that tried said that it's like looking through the fog, or trying to see the sun from underwater".
"Additionally, the subject claims to feel emotions of others but, mostly Animals, barely humans and other psionics, not at all".
"And?"
"He can't use environmental suits, or other psi strengthening/weakening equipment. Furthermore psi dampeners and neural resocialization probably won't work on him, considering his origins".
"In short" says the male "he's anti-candidate on all fronts, and with his character… it's over even before it started".
Turning her back to subordinate, she says "If it's everything, you can go"
"Director" says the man, turning around and exiting the room, the doors closing with a dull thunk behind him.
.
The woman sits alone for some time, mulling things over.
"Well, what do you feel?"
"I sense!... annoyance…, resignation…, and feeling of lost time. You're just occupying my attention so I don't do anything stupid, aren't you?
"Why… Whatever gave you that idea?" says the woman in a lab coat with a deadpan tone.
The 14-teen looks to the left as people are scurrying all over trying to deal with the anti-fire foam, and broken down equipment that let out occasional sparks.
"Just a hunch," says the boy with a grin.
Member of security walks up to them and says "I am ordered to personally escort you to your dropship and making sure you don't wander off along the way"
"I, wandering off? Never! I was just seeing the sights, admiring architecture, meeting new people, and having fun!"
"Yes," says the scientist, "we were also 2 hours behind schedule, so watch him carefully, now," she says to the escort.
'yes ma'am. Now off we go" Says putting an arm on boy's shoulder and walking out with him.
"I Wish you all a happy and sunny day!" he says, leaving all the chaos behind him.
"What a stick in the mud, the lot of them!" says the teen watching the guard walk away.
"Mission done?"
Turning to the pilot with a grin, he nods his head. "just as mother wished".
"Strap yourself in, we're flying out.
Sarah stares at the ceiling, laying on her bed a little shocked. she still barely comprehends today's events, however brief they were.
Flashback
"hey! pretty lady!" screams a young voice
"Wha?!-" *thud* "egh…" Kerrigan flips over her bed and lands in a heap on the floor.
"Why do you lay on the floor like that? Is it a part of your training?"
Looking up she sees a young teen standing above her with a seemingly mystified expression. Scrambling up on her feet, her cheeks glowing red in embarrassment she asks "what are you doing in my room!?"
The boy looks at her from up to down, and with a grin he says "seeing the sights, what else?"
She flushes a little deeper shade of red, considering the skintight suit she forgot to change going to sleep. "you creep!"
"Me? I am just an innocent little boy!" he exclaims with the biggest, fakest grin she had ever seen. "Anyway I have other places to be. Smell ya later, stinky!" and with that he does a backflip through the door and runs away.
Dumbfounded, bewildered and more than a little embarrassed, she sniffed her arm confirming that yes, she forgot to wash herself for some time.
End Flashback
Clean in body and clothes, Sarah still tries to comprehend what happened. With some thought she realizes that it was a loooong time since someone treated her just as another human and not a ghost/killer.
