Lifetime Rating for Heartcutter: 7.5238 |   | Greetings Commander Heartcutter, while you were in the shower, you had one new message.
Put it through. Hmm. Another message from Du Galle. I've finally learned the computer rank protocol override that can make me unavailable for chatting with his French Highness. This time, it seems the random excuse generator said I was busy knee deep in fecal matter. Works for me.
'Hello Commander Heartcutter. I've noticed you've had a string of losses that has cost our reclamation of Terran planets in this sector rather a great deal. People are beginning to doubt your competence of command.'
Blah, blah blah. Whatever Du Galle. I turn on my hairdryer and begin to blowdry my hair.
'-*-***---** Protoss *-*---****--**- counterstrike ***--*---*--* imminent ***---****-- urgent**-----*-*-****--- command ****---***- '
...now for my nuts...
'faith ***--**- defend it at all ***---**-** for the glory of ***-*-*--* UED.'
Ahh. Nice and toasty.
Do not fail Commander. Do not fail Earth. Du Galle out.'
'I think that is the funniest thing I have ever seen,' Kei snickers.
'Wot?'
'You leaving the Admrial on the hold while you were doing other things.' Kei gives me that wink. God, what a woman!
'So?'
'So, you can be court-martialed for that. What if it was something important?'
'Then I get notification from Deon, or the Computer. Du Galle is just a pep talker. Get your clothes on. We've got work to do.'
'Always the slavedriver.' Kei purrs.
'Watch it! Or you'll get a spanking you'll never forget!'
'Oooh. Tempt me.'
hehe. Life is good.
---
Damn the sky is overcast today. It's a good day to be stuck inside my command chair.
'Emma, will the weather patterns affect communications?'
'Affirmative captain, there will be a delay in executing orders. Please take this into account during battle.'
This is the Protoss commander's doing. Whatever. If this dipshit wants to fight in these conditions, he'll get a fight.
'Deon. Get me a Depot up at the top of the ramp. Yes sir.'
As Deon is building the depot, I see an enemy probe dart in.
'Tyler! Build me a refinery NOW!!! Don't wait, do it!'
'Huh? Sir we're just shy of minerals.' Tyler replies.
'Then get your ass over there NOW! When the minerals become available, build it!'
'Uh, yes sir....'
Tyler begins a refinery just as the probe arrives to my Vespine geyser. I know what he was going to do. Offensive assimilator. It would have been a really bad thing.
But now my barracks is thrown off. Instead of getting it at 11, I end up getting it at 13. I pray he doesn't assault early. Otherwise we're gonna feel it.
He doesn't. We dodged this bullet.
'C'mere you little bastard.' Deon's fusion cutter wipes out the probe.
'Deon, good work. Now get out there and give me some recon. Head toward 6.
'Right away, sir.'
Deon arrives and sees double gate with a cyb core just coming online. I see no troops. This is a tipoff that he may be expanding early.
'Deon, search 9 and search 12. Let me know if there's anything going on out there.'
'Roger that.'
I ended up getting my factory a little bit earlier than usual, so my first tank came online a little bit sooner. We come under attack shortly thereafter.
3 goons. Could have range. 'Bo, Luke, show em a little bit of unfriendlyness.'
So they engage a bit. 3 marines focus fire on the goon that can see up the hill. My guys are getting pounded. I queue up another marine. Just then, Bork pops out of the factory.
And give the lead goon both barrels.
The goons wisely decide to pull back.
'Deon here. I've found a pylon at 9.'
'Good work. Check the node as well.'
I know what he'll find.
Thankfully I started a starport early. The tower is in process of being built.
'Deon. I want you to build a bunker right next to the Nexus.'
'I'm on it.'
As Deon's working, he does so unmolested. I'm able to load up a ship with a tank and 4 marines and put them on the plateau, narrowly avoiding the goon containment. As the ship is on it's way back I hear arclight fire around the command center.
Shoom, shoom
'Sir, Protoss have entered the base. Engaging'
Shoom, shoom
'Sir, targets destroyed. 6 SCV casualties. Enemy casualties are 1 shuttle, a reaver and a dragoon.'
'Good work.' Screw bunkers. I don't need 'em for home defense.
By now there's a heavy battle going on at 9. My strikeforce is able to destroy the enemy nexus before they are destroyed. I salute them. They fought with valor. Deon too. Funny how he always seems to survive. I've never given so many posthumous commendations to the same living person.
Today he gets another.
By now, it's time to break out of the containment. I scan and see roughly 10 goons. This is kitten play.
'Squad 1. You get point. Squad 2 Defend the tanks. Prepare to reinforce. Tank platoon. Move forward.'
Ahh, that's the stuff. Squad 1 engages the enemy goons. Squad 1 is quite small. Only 6 troops. But they have a mission.
Sizzling and popping can be felt in the air.
'Sir, squad 1 is down. Repeat, squad one is down.'
I reply: 'Squad 2 stim and engage. Tank platoon, siege up.'
Grraaaahh!!!
Squad 2 pours over the remnants of squad 1. They fire on the goons with fury in their eyes. The goons run.
And squad 2 give pursuit...
| | Battle Shots! | 
Remnants of the first engagement. Wallin is good.
The magnificent four in action. They took down the goons and finished off the nexus before perishing. I could have sworn I saw Deon die right here.
Beep on this, you bastard.
Squad 1, attack! Tank platoon, siege up!
Squad 2, engage and pursue!
