Rendezvous

Adjutant: Scanning. Detecting Dominion forces and a zerg hive cluster.

Kerrigan: Yeah, there must be an old hive here. I’m more worried about the Dominion.

Fleet Command: Ground team, this is Fleet. What is your status?

Dominion Commander: Fleet, our base is set up and the Drakken Pulse Cannon is almost online.

Fleet Command: Roger that. Eliminate all stragglers as they warp to these coordinates. Will return for you. Fleet out.

Kerrigan: That cannon will take out Jim’s ship as soon as he enters orbit. He’ll never see it coming. Set course for the zerg hive cluster. I need an army.

Kerrigan: I can sense a mind controlling this brood. Who are you?

Naktul: My queen, I am Naktul, a broodmother. You created us to extend your control of the Swarm. Have you returned to us?

Kerrigan: I’m not your queen and I haven’t returned. But I need your brood to destroy the terran cannon, right now.

Naktul: Most of my brood is with me. I can send them to you, but it will take time …

Kerrigan: Then send them. When they arrive, we’ll tear down that cannon before Jim gets here.

Kerrigan: Meanwhile, I’m going to prepare this hive for combat. The Dominion would have tracked my ship and they’ll be looking for me.

 

Reinforcements: 14:59

Kerrigan: Okay. Let’s see if I can remember how to do this. The first thing I need is a spawning pool.

[14:00]

Dominion Marine: Command, we’ve found Kerrigan! She’s holed up in a zerg base! We’re going in! Send reinforcements!

Kerrigan: The Dominion found us. They’re going to hit us hard.

[13:32]

Kerrigan: I remember spine crawlers. I can mutate them from drones.

Naktul: When the Dominion arrived, they drove some of my brood into caves. They will rejoin us if we can kill the terran soldiers guarding the cave entrances.

[12:30]

(New wave of Marines attack the Hive base)

[12:10]

Naktul: A queen would be very useful for fighting the terrans. You can birth a queen at the hatchery.

[10:00]

Naktul: There are more zerglings in this cave, my queen.

[09:40]

Kerrigan: Dominion approaching from the north!

(5 Hellions)

[06:35]

Naktul: There is a large Dominion force on its way to the hive cluster!

(7 marines and 2 Marauders)

Naktul: Come out of hiding, zerglings! Fight for your queen!

[05:30]

Naktul: There are more zerglings in this cave, my queen.

[05:20]

Dominion Marine: Send backup — being attacked — need back up … now!

Naktul: You have recovered part of the brood! Rise, my children!

[03:10]

Naktul: The worms are tunneling to you right now. My brood will be there soon.

[01:30]

Naktul: Only a short time before my nydus worms bring reinforcements!

Naktul: More of my zerglings! The brood grows stronger!

(Achievement: Zerg Save the Queen — complete bonus objective)

[00:00]

Naktul: My brood has come! They are yours to command, my queen!

Kerrigan: Perfect. Now let’s get up to their base and destroy that cannon before Jim arrives.

Dominion Marine: Zerg! Defend the cannon!

Naktul: I have arrived! All of my brood is here to serve you!

(Cannon is destroyed)

Naktul: The gun is destroyed! The terrans are fleeing to their ships!

Kerrigan: Kill them all. No one gets out alive.

Naktul: Yes! The queen has returned! Kill the terrans!

Kerrigan: The queen? You’re right. I was slipping back into something that – I have to get out of here.

Naktul: We will await your return.
