No, this is not exactly a battle report.. it's a story about Joe the marine and his unusual quest.
Note : I'm doing this because it's 3:30 AM and there's nothing to do.
It was a stormy night
A very stormy night. Joe, the newly-trained Marine, was very excited because that was his very first day on the duty.
He was at home, trying to get inside his brand-new blue Marine suit, and his wife was helping him.
"Don't they have a Large sized suit? You've put on some weight..", said the wife.
Joe was about to say a sarcastic answer, but just as he opened his mouth, his beeper beeped. He made his way to the beeper, and reached it after about 2 minutes of struggling with the suit.
Just as he picked up the beeper, he knew that wasn't to be a usual day.
The message was from his commander, General Fish.
"Joe, come quick! We need you at the HQ! Over and out!"
Joe put on his ultra-heavy shoes, took his helmet, and headed out for the car. Just as he got to the door, his wife said, "You forgot to put your helmet on!".
"I'll put it on when I get there. I don't want to choke to death in that smelly car!"
But just as Joe ran through the door, he felt a cold rain drop on his nose. He had no choice but to put his helmet on, because the car was 5 minutes away from there, by foot.
After running through the slimy mud, he opened the car door and hopped in. He took off his helmet, and saw his sweat drops popping against the steering wheel.
He passed a towel across his forehead, and started driving.
After two hours of driving, he stopped near the colossal building of the Terran Headquarters in the Dut region.
The commanders inside the Dut territory were known for their intense training, and their Infantry units always were the best.
However, they didn't believe in technology.
They thought that the power of humans themselves is much greater than the power of the machines.
Therefore, they didn't have many tanks, and they had no air units at all.
As Joe stepped inside the HQ, General Fish came to greet him. "Thanks for coming. Follow me and I will tell you your mission", the General said.
Our hero followed his General through the large hallways, until he found himself in an enormous room, with a plastic Wraith standing at the center.
"You see that?" General Fish asked. "That is a Wraith. It is an aircraft unit used by other terran regions, such as the Zaxton."
Joe looked at the model with amazement.
He opened his mouth and said, "Wow... I've heard many stories about the Wraiths, but I've never actually seen one."
"Yes, it's quite nice," the General added. "However, what you see standing there is only an unfunctional model. We still do not have the materials to build such a thing."
"But, what does it have to do with my mission?"
"Ah, be patient! Ok, you see, we've figured out that we won't be able to survive much longer without technology to counter enemy troops. So, we want to build a Wraith, test it, and see if it meets the expectations.
But, as I said earlier, we do not have the materials to build these things. So, we need you to go to the Zaxton region, to see emperor Lakneta. You will tell him that I sent you, and he will give you the materials we need.
But, you must hurry, we've heard that a Zerg brood is on the way to attack us. Take this paper. It is a proof that you know me. Show it to everyone who doubts your truthness."
"Does he know that I'm coming?", Joe asked.
"No. Because of the thunderstorm, we haven't been able to contact him. But don't worry, everything will be Ok. Go now, before it's too late!"
Just as Joe got out of the building, the rain stopped.
He drove all the way to the Zaxton region, but when he got to the city, he saw an uneasy sight.
The whole city was overrun by Zerg troops! They were wrecking havoc everything they saw.
However, there was no blood or body parts on the floor. There were just some metallic pieces -- the Zaxtons didn't even use humans to protect themselves!
Joe saw a functional Science Vessel on the floor. He quickly entered it, threw away the dead body in it, and looked at the controlling board. Of course, Joe had never seen a Science Vessel before, so he had no idea what he was doing. He saw a text box and the words "Insert Region Here".
So he typed "Dut"
"Locating Dut.."
"Dut Located. Preparing for lift-off"
Joe didn't know what was going on, but he was in the Dut region 5 minutes after that.
He didn't have time to get off the Vessel, so he contacted General Fish and said, "The Zerg are approaching, prepare to defend!! Over and -" . Before he finished his sentence he saw the Zerglings coming, and he heard fish say : "All troops to their positions... now!!!"
Before he knew it, all the Marines and firebats were inside the dirty bunkers, ready to fire at will.
The Zergs attacked 1 minute later. And they were all gone after 2 minutes.
Joe was excited, so he jumped off the Vessel and fell on the floor. Then, he ran inside the HQ.
He waited several minutes, and then he heard General Fish's voice behind him.
"Please come to my office, Joe. Or should I say, General Joe?"

Lessons learned :
1. When you're bored, anything can happen.
2. Joe will be a General!
3. The Human Mind is Superior to the Machines.
I hope you took the time to read my story, and that you've enjoyed it.
Until next time,
Annihilator
