StarCraft: Tyranid Empire

SCT 2490.4.19 13:49

The intensive care unit of the Baisher Revolutionary Army Command Center Hospital.

When Augustus, who was wearing power armor, stepped into the custody room, the servo system in the armor buzzed slightly. The CMC power armor was so massive that he had to bend down to walk through the door.

Lisa Kesidi, the hospital manager with long wavy ginger hair, and several doctors were waiting for Augustus. Standing next to them were two ghost agents of the Revolutionary Army. The latter had a solemn expression and a serious atmosphere.

There are only about twenty ghost agents in the Revolutionary Army, seven of whom are from the Victor V Federal Research Base, and the rest are ghost agents from Alpha Squadron. After these Alpha Squadron ghost agents had their psychic suppressors removed and their past memories restored, they turned to serve Augustus's revolutionary army out of hatred for the federal government and the Ghost Academy.

Due to the Ghost Project, almost all the Ghost agents currently in service in the Tyranid Federation experienced separation from their original families when they were 3 to 5 years old. What awaits these children next is cruel training. They are trained to become powerful human warriors and Learn how to control the spiritual energy within your body.

Augustus took these ghost agents very seriously, in other words, he was obsessed with collecting psykers.

After Augustus walked in, Kerrigan, Swann and others behind him stepped through the door. Because there were too many guards following him, more people had to stand outside the door.

"This Tal'darin protoss is seriously injured. It is not so much that our weapons caused wounds that are fatal to humans, but rather the trauma suffered a long time ago." Behind Lisa and Augustus Kerrigan looked at each other and said.

"It's hard to imagine what kind of person in the universe can inflict such trauma to such a highly technologically advanced race. If that is the case, there will probably be one more enemy of mankind. But judging from the analysis of the wounds, It was his countrymen who gave him this wound."

"That must be a nightmare." Augustus looked at the Tal'darin protoss lying on the white textile sheets.

Augustus could confirm that the Tal'darin spider-type mecha that appeared on the battlefield was undoubtedly the Protoss' Dragon Knight walking mecha, and in front of him was a Tal'darin Protoss Dragon Knight mecha pilot.

The Tal'darin protoss lay naked on the hospital bed, covered only by a silk sheet. His right leg was almost completely cut off by some kind of weapon, and his arm on the same side also suffered the same trauma. His skin was covered with scars, but even so, scarlet light still radiated from the eye sockets on his face. It seems that there are two red stars contained in it.

Those are not human eyes made up of whites and pupils, but spots of pure light. When the protoss' emotions become unstable, their eyes will ripple like flowing water.

"Tal'darin Protoss, I am Augustus Mengsk, the leader of these humans." Augustus looked at the Tal'darin Protoss on the sick ship.

However, Augustus did not get the response he expected. The Tal'darin Star Spirit had been staring at Augustus with its eyes like red stars, but remained silent.

"He refuses to communicate with humans - but judging from the information currently available, Tal'darin Protoss can directly communicate with humans at the 'conscious level', ignoring the language gap." Lisa said to Augustus.

"Then can he also understand what I said?" Augustus looked at Lisa.

"It's unclear whether the Tal'darim can easily master our language, but at least they can read your thoughts." Lisa nodded and replied: "Just like our psykers, they can easily Insight into the minds of other creatures.”

"You don't know what kind of opportunity is in front of you, Tal'darin." Augustus turned to the Tal'darin protoss and walked closer, while his guards kept a close eye on the Tal'darin. Lin Xingling, no one can guarantee that a physically disabled Tal'dar Lin Xingling will not be able to use his psychic powers to attack the enemy.

Although it currently seems that the psykers of Tal'darin Protoss are also strong and weak, only the most powerful Tal'darin can release psychic attacks comparable to magic attacks.

"You can realize your revenge in my hands. Imagine the Tal'darin Protoss who brought you to this point, and the compatriots who watched all this indifferently." Augustus said.

Augustus knew that unlike their fellow El Protoss who claimed to be orthodox, Tal'darin was a race where the winner was king. In the desperate fights and conspiracies between the same race, the strong would gain status. and rights, while the loser gets nothing.

Every Tal'darin is a powerful warrior, because the weakest will be eliminated, just like the Spartans in the Earth Age, and the relationship between Tal'darin and Tal'darin is that of a lion.

This technologically advanced civilization still follows the slave system even now, and they are equally cruel to their own race and enemies.

Hearing what Augustus said, the Tal'darin star turned his head as if he was touched.

"Marshal Mengsk, my assistants and I have obtained two spider-type mechas from the Tal'darin Protoss." After a few seconds of silence, Swann's assistant Victor Kaczynski said.

"We discovered that the cockpit of this spider-type mecha is filled with life-sustaining nutrient fluid, and the pilot is directly connected to the connected mecha through a neural connection device - this technology is simply unheard of," he continued. : "Thanks to this technology, the driver and the mecha are almost integrated. Those mechanical feet are as flexible as their limbs, as if the machine is itself."

"But the cockpits of these mechas are all sealed. In other words, the engineers of the Tal'darin Protoss welded the hatches shut in a crude and primitive way. Once the driver gets in, he will probably never be able to do anything again in his life. Got the chance to come out.”

"How cruel," Kerrigan said again.

"But maybe Jimmy will like this kind of thing. He can't wait to integrate with his vulture car." Augustus just shrugged, intending to mock the Tal'darin protoss.

"That's enough, you are not qualified to comment on Tal'darin, the Chosen One of the Creator." Finally, the Tal'darin star spirit spoke, and his voice accurately reached the minds of every human being present.

Perhaps this Tal'darin was used to being arrogant when he was at his most powerful, but after losing in a battle with a challenger, he had lost the qualifications for arrogance, and all his confidence and status were taken away together.

"With your primitive and backward tools, how can you avenge me?" The Tal'darin Protoss only has Augustus in its eyes.

"When the ancestors of mankind set foot on the stars, I was already the most powerful Tal'darin warrior. Your civilization was as childish as a baby in our eyes. When the core fire of our spaceship illuminated the stars, mankind was still on the ground. Playing with mud, tinkering with simple tools, making slingshots out of tree branches.”

"You know the Tal'darim far better than any of your kind I can understand," he said, staring at Augustus.

"Even the Immortals cannot know everything from the past to the present." Augustus replied: "Humans are too young in the Koprulu sector and even in the Milky Way, but we know the power of fire. Compared to you, we at least have what you are jealous of. Tooth and nail—leaving aside the disparity of the race as a whole, at least in Beisher our army is much stronger than yours."

"For you, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. I don't think a Tal'darin Protoss locked in power armor has any future." Augustus said, "I'm just giving you a choice. Chance."

"I don't think your heartless compatriots and cruel rulers have any value worthy of your loyal allegiance," he said.

"If you can provide us with some information about Baishelta Darin, such as the location of the city on the ground or more intelligence. I can guarantee that even if you are despised by your people, humans will still respect you. As a distinguished guest.”

"Oh - with your poor brain capacity, you may not be able to understand that people don't care whether ants regard themselves as gods." Tal'darin said after being silent for a while.

"." Augustus would only show his anger when he thought it should be: "Do you think my patience is infinite? Tell you what I will do if you don't cooperate, for a man who once killed me The alien race of the people has no mercy whatsoever."

"I will send you to the alien laboratory and let my psykers use the most cruel methods to obtain your secrets until you speak the truth, and then you will become the carrier of living experiments. How long do you have to live? The torture will last as long as it takes.”

".You are right." The Taldarin Protoss saw his future from Augustus's mind: "Ever since I was stuffed into that damn mecha, I have no future at all. I can no longer join. The Rak'sir ceremony disqualifies you from being promoted to an ascended person."

"Even Lord Tal'darin's slaves look down on Tal'darin among the dragon knights. We are the bottom among the bottom."

"I know the locations of several outposts." Tal'darin Protoss said, "But I'm not sure whether the soldiers there have evacuated."

"Guard, map." Augustus waved his hand and walked to the bedside, almost only one step away from the Tal'darin protoss.

A revolutionary soldier wearing crimson power armor handed over a holographic projection projector. When the soldier pressed the start button of the projector with his fingers covered in iron sheets, a holographic projection image of a green planet appeared. Appeared immediately.

These three-dimensional images were scanned by the revolutionary army fleet and unmanned reconnaissance aircraft parked in synchronous orbit and low-Earth orbit, and can accurately reach every jungle and mountain rock in Beisher.

The Tal'darin Protoss glanced at the holographic projection of the planet Baishel. It was not difficult for him to use human instruments. The Protoss also had similar devices, and they were much more advanced.

He stretched out his remaining hand towards the map composed of pure green holographic projection light. The holographic projection immediately expanded to cover half of the guard room, and then continued to shrink as the Tal'darin protoss finger swiped. , until it freezes at this moment on the backlit side of the planet Baishel, which is the other side of the hemisphere where Augustus is still in the dark night.

"I only remember a few outposts I've been to," the Tal'darin Protoss said. "Every Breath of the Creator altar is different—I should still remember it."

As the Tal'darim protoss spoke, he marked a few points on the unfolded map. He even used his sharp-nailed finger to indicate the number of possible garrisons.

"How many people are there in the Taldarin of Beisher?" Augustus asked him again.

"Probably between 5,000 and 15,000 people. We have three aircraft carriers and more than a hundred transport ships." The Tal'darin Protoss said as he returned the holographic projection projector to the soldier.

"It's less than I expected." Augustus nodded and said to Kerrigan beside him.

"Tell the staff that I will hold a new operations meeting in two hours."

"How many planets like Beisher do you have? How many cylindrical battleships like the cylindrical battleships that appeared in Beisher before do you have?"

"Countless." Tal'darin said: "Our footprints are all over the galaxy, and Slane's death fleet can easily defeat your broken ships above the star of Baishir."

"But as far as I know, you are only part of a very small fleet." Augustus smiled after he finished speaking.

"Stop your arrogance, for it is often associated with ignorance and stupidity." He acted as if he was scorning Tal'darin's arrogance.

"Tell me, what do you know about humans?"

"When the human spaceship first appeared in our field of vision, we paid attention to this young race." Tal'darin Protoss said: "There are many such races in the long history, and some perished in the civil war. Some died before the interstellar age. Human beings are no different. You are cunning and greedy, backward and ignorant."

"The human planet is too far away from our territory. The high-ranking lords of Slane strictly prohibit us from contacting humans, because destroying a weak race will definitely attract the attention of our hateful compatriots, the El Protoss. Of course, we are not afraid They, but for the grand plan.”

"Plan?" Augustus asked, "What plan?"

"Conquer the entire universe." This Tal'darin protoss said with extreme confidence, seeming to think that it was a matter of course.

".It is indeed quite great - I have another question." Augustus nodded and commented. Augustus still had the Tyranid Federation to deal with, but he had no time to care about Tal'darin.

"What is El Protoss?"

"Our compatriots on the distant planet Aiur always pursue flashy golden armor, hypocrisy and cowardice." The Tal'darin Protoss said: "Compared with it, the Nerazim Protoss of Sagulath is like a gutter. of rats, because stealth and stealth are the actions of cowards."

"Okay, I probably know." Augustus asked again.

"Do you know the coordinates of Al?"

"I don't know." Tal'darin Protoss continued: "Although our ancestors came from Aiur, it was a long time ago. Now maybe only the high-ranking lords know the exact coordinates."

"What do you want to know about El's coordinates? The El protoss think they hide it well - it's a secret."

"I'm just curious." Augustus said, "But you should know the coordinates of Slane, or whether you know more about the Xel'Naga artifact fragments."

"If you don't know, tell me who does."
