>>13762683 (I considered it, but you guys seriously surprised me with the Shakuras plan. Like I've always said, if you come up with a plan that would work and get it going, I'm not going to screw you out of it. You just usually, you know, don't.)

Carriers, scouts, and arbiters begin to arrive immediately, most bearing the marks of the Dark Templar faction, though there are some Conclave ships. There is a pregnant pause as the ships fly toward one another, each side absolutely dumbfounded at the other's presence.
This moment ends as a scout warps directly into the Terran lines and immediately opens fire, destroying a dropship. All hell breaks loose.
Kerrigan's presence in our mind is lost as she becomes embroiled in whatever she's doing, and we warp our carrier away conspicuously. A moment later, our prototype Dropship Observer enters the system, and we can watch again.
The Protoss forces have the advantage of knowing the system, and technological superiority, but the Terrans are the clear winner in sheer numbers. The fighters duke it out alone while the larger ships approach, and then it becomes hard to keep track. The Terran forces drop in and out of cloak, as do Protoss near an arbiter, but the valkries appear to be detector units, and the Protoss clearly have several observers in the fight.
After nearly three hours, the Protoss fleet is in retreat. The Terrans interdict the planet as ten modified valkyries enter the system. A quick scan reveals that they are each carrying a small nuclear arsenal. They take up positions in orbit over population centers and begin their bombardment.
Kingston has destroyed Shakuras. |
