We need to take advantage of the fevour of the war.

Have Artisanlord begin production of a war movie, featuring the defence of earth and featuring a romantic subplot between a fictional human crewman and a zerg liaison.

That should be interesting.

And the protoss harlot who tries to stop their LOVE!

Bah, people never understand art!

Anyways: what exactly was the plan with giving the 'toss a fake map? They're just going to find a bunch of world full of unorganized Dyles units. Are we just trying to bleed the toss a bit?

I was in the "hit the UED with the infestation missiles" camp and I am a sad panda. Oh well.

Maybe we can look into hitting the Dominion worlds with them instead?

>>18494659
I jumped right from liason to human/zerg porn.

>>18494685

The dominion is our protectorate.

And more human drones is something we can produce ourselves. Free thinking humans are something we'll be able to find a use for, probably, instead of just more vassals.

>>18494557
Accountantbrate gives us an excited status report, detailing a series of deals it has made in acquiring market penetration across a dozen worlds. It only had to infest a few rival businessmen; the rest was complete--mostly legitimate. It's found a little black market trade in human organs, and wants to know if it should dabble.

>>18494685
>fake map

I believe the plan was just to give Felanis something to brag about, since he thanked us, once.

>infestation missiles

Toaster pipes in that we still have the missiles, if we ever change our mind!

>Dominion

The what? No such thing.

>>18494685
I was also in that camp, but ultimately decided that buying them was far sillier, and here at Zerg Quest LLC we pride ourselves on silliness.

>>18494740
Sell 'all-natural' human organs, obviously. In that they are lightly infested organs we harvest from out clones. Might want to set up a medical supply company an just sell them legit, or do both. Really we have plenty of heart for them. Also, how goes our ghost breeding program? Any noticeable increase in psionic ability?

rolled 77 = 77

>>18494740

If it can do so with deniability.

Most likely, users of the black market trade will be those in high positions, able to use money to purchase organs instead of waiting in the queue. Do so will nab us favours from individuals in the higher strata of society.

We will have to be careful of pesky journalist. Tell accountantbrate to diversify into the infostream/new industry. Being able to 'remove' investigations, unfair reports and manipulate public opinion will speed up the work, while maintaining an extra layer of cover.

>>18494807
>lightly infested organs

Oh man, we could build in a genetic timer where after 20 years of use, the organs produce infestation spores inside the people.

If there's a large enough demand for organs, we could infest a significant chunk of the population without using our missiles.

rolled 76 = 76

>>18494844

Probably not a good idea.

Those who purchase these organs will probably have them throughly scanned for infectious diseases and ailments. Our spores will be picked up.

The illegal nature of this operation also means that when the cops come down on it, they'll be running all sorts of tests on them and we'll be rumbled, way too soon.

Better to corner this market, now; introduce legislation at the UED supreme council level, legalising the sale of human organs to willing buyers for medical transplants. When it comes into effect, we can gain a large foothold in this market and then eventually use it for the upcoming infection.

>>18494844

Accountantbrate is a bit nervous about this, but ultimately agrees with us: the opportunity for more profit is worth the risk! Besides, with discreet shipments from our cloning labs, it can double or triple its chance!

So far, so good.

Oh, you know what we should do? Send a Heighliner with a small colonization force, and send it to another galaxy, like say, Andromeda. We have the Heighliner programmed to automatically return after a set amount of time.

Kerrigan tells us about her minority control of the Directorate's government. It's very difficult to get anybody into the military branches, but she has a decent handle on administrative and judicial officials. Not enough to pass anything outlandish, but if we have a gentler agenda to push, she can give it a try.

Not for now. Have her continue to ensare the majority of the parliment.

When both left and right belong to us, we control the UED.

>>18495488
Declare the Trilobite to be the Directorate fossil. And periodic other meaningless crap that legislative bodies do. Or not, really I just wanted to inject trilobites into the quest.

>>18495513
Not much, but with Xel'Naga cartography and heighliners, we can probably map every planet in a month or less. We should get on that, and take samples of all life we find, and let Nargil have fun with them.

>>18495558
Let us proceed then. I want to have the galaxy at our fingertips.

So we can then move on to the next one.

>>18495558
Seconded. Let's encircle both the UED and the Protoss without them even knowing about it.

>>18495511
Cyberbrate is fully operational, actually. Its processors are idling, mostly, except for what it takes to finish testing on the mobile relays for the Terminators. It fully believes they are as ready as they will ever be.

>>18495530
Fuckin' trilobites, man. What were they even thinking?

So, really, what are we doing?

>>18495611
Beginning a grand mapping, exploration, and colonization effort in the galaxy, to spread the Swarm far and wide, and to cockblock both the UED and the Protoss Empire from expanding their borders by getting prime real estate first.

>>18495611
Mapping the galaxy it seems, and what's your beef with the trilobite? Didn't we upload the worldship into cyberbrate, if so has he index/cataloged/translated it yet?

>>18495662
Stupid trilobites, thinking they're all hot shit, leaving fossils everywhere, like we're just SOOOO interested in all the genetic variation they developed in the Cambrian. Pompous arthropods.

...you're going to make me go track down all the details of what's left in the worldship, aren't you?

>>18495662
>>18495630
Is there a particular place we want to explore, or are we just expanding at random?

(We can always time-skip to Felanis arriving and/or more stuff happens with Accountantbrate, if you want, too)

>>18495767
>Is there a particular place we want to explore, or are we just expanding at random?
At this point, no particular place. However, the overall strategy is to encircle the borders of the UED and the Protoss, so that they cannot expand further. Once they are contained, we will begin colonization of all of the systems located upon our Iron Creep.

>>18495767
Initial exploration is the boarder regions, then everywhere, and yes I'm making you hunt you worldship notes. And the Directorate caterpillar will be the woolly bear.

Now I'm wondering how often the UED legislature passes meaningless bills, like declaring bacon to be tasty. While true you don't nee to pass a resolution reaffirming the tastiness of bacon. We should have them do that, let Keri know.

Sweet, Zerg Quest. I was hoping this would show up tonight.

>>18495905
No can do.

After taste-based VR implants were invented, tastes were quantified. Bacon has an explicit tastiness range that can't be changed without actually changing how bacon tastes.

And altering bacon on such a huge scale would probably require a majority vote, we think. Really. It's bacon.

>>18495885
>>18495905
Surrounding the UED proves problematic. It seems that the Director of Colonization has doubled the size of his staff and is issuing charters almost non-stop. Humanity, no longer threatened by hostile aliens, is already experiencing a massive wave of expansion. We get nowhere with containing them.

The Protoss, on the other hand, are slower to expand. We manage to surround a full third of their empire without even arousing suspicion. Startup colonies are budding on many worlds. Colonylord is very busy.

>>18496080
Even if the UED is expanding fast we can expand faster. We can strip mine a system in a week. So let's build a barren buffer zone around the UED. Use the mosquitos and the Xel'Naga planet pealer to do it.

>>18496126
Sounds like a good plan. Let's get started.

>>18496140
>>18496126
Are we going to use to three or four we have now, or make more?

>>18496165
We make more!
For the first time, all immediate threats to the Swarm have been put down. We can now turn our psionic eye inwards towards expansion.

>>18496165
Wait, when did we build the peelers? Doesn't matter, build more, and spawn more mosquitoes and freighters. Also we might want to, in the new barren systems, see if see can make a supernova. Might be a useful trick.

>>18496251
Oh, oops. Wasn't paying attention. We have three or four of the giant, nippled planet harvesters with their mosquito drones.

You want to build the Xel'Naga devices to help with harvesting planets, then?

Might as well. See how those things work.

What are the terrans under our protection up to these days?

>>18496280
>You want to build the Xel'Naga devices to help with harvesting planets, then?
Yes. Just to create a region of the galaxy known as The Barrens separating the expanding UED from the Swarm.

>>18496165
Making more would be advantageous. 4 of them would barely make a dent in the billions of planets there are.

Also, small question. Would you mind if those of us who play TG quest were to harvest some resources from Zerg Quest like unimportant background characters?

Defensebrate and Citybrate are proud to inform us that Moria, Tarsonis, and the newly-colonized Antiga are all doing quite well. Their infrastructure is mostly recovered, and their populations are recovering from the Terrans' catastrophic near-extinction as well as can be expected.

>>18496555
Our work slows a bit as we continue working on how to best use the Xel'Naga device. We are now 24% of the way done.

However, Kerrigan tells us that reports are coming in from the astronomers in the Directorate about activity in the areas we're working. She is keeping it quiet, but unless we're unreasonably lucky, the UED will detect what we're trying to do very soon.

>>18496774
Shit.
Uhh....Perhaps we should open talks with the UED, saying that we're concerned that their colonization program seems poised to interfere with our own.

After all, the UED hasn't claimed these systems yet, or this region.

>>18496774
The peelers don't look like protoss, terran, or zerg stuff right? So withdraw the mosquitos and freighters, so if the UED comes we can "WE ARE THE (to be determined) LEAVE NOW OR FACE THE CONSEQUENCES! The preceding was an automated message."

rolled 12 = 12

>>18496774

Too early to play our hand.

Perhaps our forces there should stop and pull back.

The 25% of planets strip mined will slow them down.

Re-divert the strip miners to the next phase of planets likely to be colonised.

If we slow down their expansion, we win. Doesn't matter how long. C.A. lives much longer than the average human after all.
