StarCraft: Tyranid Empire

Altera Airport.

This shipping port built on the cliff was once abandoned, because illegal cargo would only enter the port at those little-known private starports.

Now it has been put back into use after being renovated by the Revolutionary Army Engineering Corps, and has been included in the Revolutionary Army's star map with the new name of Altera Airport, open to any Revolutionary Army or friendly forces.

The airport has a wide and brand-new apron and a towering launch tower. All the buildings exude a beautiful silver-white luster under the sunlight.

Halfway down the mountainside is a battalion-level military camp of the Revolutionary Army. The mountains here are high and the roads are far away, and there are few people. The wind passing through the mountain streams brings dissipated high-energy gas, and the entire mountain seems to be covered with a thin layer of green light. blanket. These mountains are generally considered to be poisonous, as the gases from the massive high-energy gas springs even create a lingering mist among the mountains.

When Augustus heard the news that the unknown protoss fleet had jumped into the Altera system, he rushed from the Camorian gas refinery to the airport in Altera. Two golden-red revolutionary APOD-33s were landing amidst the rumble of their engines.

A pirate with his hands bound by metal shackles was walking down the gangway below, followed by Revolutionary Army soldiers in power armor.

These pirates wore long ivory vests and long leather boots that looked old and tattered, and wore turbans or low-brim hats on their heads. Their captain wore a Quaestecol-style tights, and a triangular boat hat with gold Line of chimeras and boats. Since interstellar pirates wander around the fringe star areas all year round and call pirate ships their home, their equipment and clothing generally look tattered and old.

Some of the pirates were injured, apparently from escaping as the revolutionary army pursued them. The Chimera pirates have strongholds in many places. What the revolutionary army destroyed this time was just a pirate gas collection station in Altera.

In this galaxy, hundreds of Chimera pirates use a huge space hulk as their base, and use fast small plundering airships to plunder technology and cargo. Of course, what they do most in Altera is the illegal business.

The Chimera Pirates are a larger force in the Altera galaxy. Their main plundering fleet wandering in the Koprulu sector even has a modified battlecruiser. But if they encounter the Korhal Revolutionary Army, the largest reactionary force in the sector, they will have no choice but to admit that they are unlucky.

"The haunting pirates can hit them everywhere." Kerrigan twisted her beautiful eyebrows in disgust as she followed Augustus past these dejected pirates.

"Pirates are pirates. They are everywhere and pervasive." When Augustus figured out that the Chimera pirates were just unlucky enough to bump into him, he no longer cared so much about these pirates. He was thinking about the strange pirates. The purpose of the protoss fleet.

"As long as the stars and the sea still exist, pirates will not disappear."

"I hope these pirates will have a longer memory," Kerrigan said. "The Federation has given us enough headaches."

Augustus shrugged, and without even looking at the unlucky group of Chimera pirates, he boarded the Imp transport ship with Kerrigan and others. Along with the transport ship, there were several Wraith fighter planes that took off. These fighters with dark red background and gold trim turned into part of the silver meteor shower as the horizon rotated in the sky.

The transport ship jumped out of Altera's planetary gravity field and headed straight for the Star Shuttle, the flagship of the Tassadar fleet. Outside the observation window on the side of the small and round ship where Augustus was, the magnificent and shining Protoss fleet was already there. So close.

Tassadar's protoss fleet did not intercept the Imp transport ship that Augustus was on. In the past, Augustus would often take this ship to visit Tassadar on the star shuttle. Human Revolution The military's growing friendship with the former Executor of the Protoss Crusade has become well known to Tassadar's followers.

In the outer space orbit of Altera, in addition to the Tassadar Protoss fleet that Augustus is familiar with, there is another golden-blue fleet facing it far away. Judging from their consistent styles, it should It is also a fleet belonging to the Protoss Empire. The two fleets were obviously confronting each other.

Judging from Augustus's understanding of Tassadar's current situation, it should be the fleet of the Supreme Council of the Protoss Empire that came to hunt him.

Augustus, who was sitting on the hard-cushioned seat of the transport ship, once again contacted the bridge of the Hyperion as the spaceship he was riding quickly approached the Star Shuttle. At this time, Lieutenant Colonel Ryan, the deputy captain of the battleship, was Issue a first-level alert order to all decks to respond to emergencies that may arise at any time.

"Lieutenant Colonel, prepare for a space fleet battle in the Altera galaxy." Augustus gave the order to the deputy captain.

"They come with bad intentions."

"Who is our enemy?" asked the vice-captain. "If they start a war, will we join the war?"

"Of course," Augustus replied, "and there is no doubt that we must be on Tassadar's side."

"Yes, Marshal." The vice-captain responded to Augustus' order with a brief reply.

Augustus then asked Commander Ryan: "Where is Zeratul's Dark Templar fleet?"

"The fleet of the Protoss Dark Templar disappeared when this strange Protoss fleet appeared. It should have entered a state of invisibility." The deputy captain replied immediately.

"If the fleet of the Supreme Council discovers that there is a Dark Templar fleet here, it will inevitably trigger a new conflict." Augustus nodded.

"Zeratul made a wise choice."

"Stay on high alert, commander." He told the deputy captain of the Hyperion at the end of the call: "You are not only responsible for the fate of the crew of a battleship, but also our lofty beliefs and immortal mission. .”

Augustus then handed over the command of the Altera Revolutionary Army Fleet to Jim Raynor, who hurriedly returned to the Hyperion, focusing his attention on the two Protoss fleets outside the transport ship's portholes.

"It seems that the internal strife of the protoss is no less than that of humans." Kerrigan, who was sitting next to Augustus, said at this time: "It's strange, since the protoss has the ability to connect everyone's thoughts and emotions. Why does Kara, the spiritual network, still fall into conflict and civil war."

"Even in how to understand each other and empathize with each other, the opinions and thoughts of the protoss will not be exactly the same." Augustus replied: "The Kara of the protoss cannot dissolve all conflicts. Kara may be able to achieve the same goal. One body, no distinction between each other, but as long as there are independent-thinking creatures, differences cannot exist."

The Imp transport ship sailed past the side of a Protoss aircraft carrier and headed towards the Star Shuttle, the most majestic and gorgeous battleship in the Protoss fleet. It looked so small in front of these majestic and flashing giant battleships, as if it had fallen from the sky. Sardines swimming next to a giant whale.

All kinds of beautiful butterflies, needles and saucers shuttled around the giant battleship, and the elegant hull like a work of art shone with bright golden light under the starlight.

The pilot who drove the ship for Augustus sailed into the docking port at the bow of the Star Shuttle with ease, and stopped at a location full of golden shuttles of the Protoss. As soon as the gray Imp came to a stop, two protoss phase technicians in blue robes walked towards it.

A fleet of fish-like servants came around the human spacecraft and used ion beams and gravity traction beams that emitted blue light to repair the damaged hull.

Whenever Augustus came aboard the Starshuttle, the ship was invariably meticulously maintained. In the eyes of protoss engineers, human spaceships are crude and primitive. In the eyes of protoss, humans still believe in the principle that as long as the power of the engine is powerful enough, spaceships can fly into the sky - even if their aircraft are so crude and crude. , there is no art or beauty at all.

As for the extremely violent aircraft of human mercenaries and pirates, in the eyes of the engineers of the Protoss Empire, they are undoubtedly a blasphemy against beauty.

"Hail to Aden." Amidst the deflation sound of the hydraulic device, Augustus stepped down from the ramp of the transport ship below and said to the two protoss phase technicians walking towards him.

"Hail Adun, Marshal Augustus Mengsk." When the protoss addressed Augustus, they would still say Augustus' full name and position in an almost rigid manner. This seemed to them to be reasonable. things that should be done.

"What happened, my friends?" Augustus asked the two Celestial Phasers.

"That is a fleet that is supposed to guard Aiur." A Celestial Phase Technician whose long nerve bundle was covered with golden hoop ornaments said to Augustus.

"We don't know who the Executors of this fleet are, but they bear the markings of the Templar Akiri and Arbitrator Yara tribes."

"Hasn't Aiur been attacked by the zerg?" Kerrigan was walking down the ramp: "Have the protoss solved the zerg invasion of Aiur and been able to free their hands to send out a fleet?"

"We don't know," the protoss phaser said.

"Where is the Executor?" asked Augustus.

"Bridge," the phaser replied.

Augustus nodded and led Kerrigan and Faraday straight to the bridge of the Star Shuttle. Seeing Augustus walking in a hurry, the two Star Shuttle phase technicians just looked at each other, and then immersed themselves in their work again. An ancient protoss Kalani saying still circulates among the protoss kharai class - Our duty never ends.

Through the teleportation matrix inside the Star Shuttle, Augustus arrived at the bridge corridor where the dome was filled with transparent crystals and stars in a few minutes.

"——We are here to arrest you. Then, we will take you back to Aiur for trial." As soon as he entered the bridge of the Star Shuttle, Augustus heard an arrogant voice. The voice was far less powerful than Tassadar's, but it definitely couldn't be called weak.

"This tone reminds me of that old guy Duke." Kerrigan said as she walked: "The arrogance of the old nobles of Tarsonis is exactly the same as that of the protoss."

"Arrest me? The zerg are destroying Aiur. You come all the way just to arrest me?" Tassadar's voice sounded full of anger.

"Tassadar, what happened?" Augustus went straight to Tassadar who was standing in front of the bridge star platform. The Templars around Tassadar did not stop Augustus. They did not think that Augustus would harm Tassadar.

Sarah Kerrigan, the human psyker who follows Augustus, may be a dangerous figure, but her loyalty to Augustus himself is unquestionable.

"Who is this human here? Tassadar."

"He is Augustus Mengsk, the leader of the Human Revolutionary Army. He is a brave and upright man." Tassadar replied.

Augustus finally saw the owner of that voice clearly. He was a star spirit wearing a golden-red robe and a hood, with a crystal clear blue crystal embedded on the top of his hood.

"Interesting, your taste in choosing companions is getting more and more incredible. You have touched heresy, and I can feel the stain left by the Dark Templar in your inner world. That stain even blasphemed Kara."

"Who is this arrogant and impudent fellow?" Augustus asked Tassadar.

"What an idiot." Kerrigan said with a venomous tone: "Stop looking down on humans, Duke is simply a good guy compared to him."

"You're here, Augustus." Tassadar looked at Augustus and said.

"He is Arbiter Aldaris of the Supreme Council. As you heard, Arbiter Aldaris is here to arrest me."

"Don't let them take you away, Executor, you are not a puppet at the mercy of the Supreme Council." Augustus looked at Tassadar and said.

"Arrogant, this is not the place for you to talk, human." The blue flames in Aldaris's eyes shone brighter and brighter with anger.

"Shut up," Kerrigan said. "Don't be rude to Marshal Augustus, or I'll have you shot."

"If you had a mouth - pathetic fellow."

There was no need for Kerrigan to be humble to Aldaris. She would never look down upon those who dared to offend Augustus, whether they were humans or protoss.

For a moment, Aldaris, who was choked by Kerrigan, was almost speechless with anger. The fire in his eyes had never shined like it did today. But as a protoss, Aldaris would never be like Tychus no matter how angry he was.

"Interesting." Aldarius declared that he remembered the two humans.

"If you still remember the honors you once achieved, Tassadar, we once believed in you so much. We believed in you like the sun and the great Adon." He ignored Augustus and Kerrigan and continued to talk to Tassadar. Dahl said.

"And now you have not only failed to live up to our expectations of you, but you have also allowed these humans to enter the supreme and noble Starship. I am here to arrest you! I want to reiterate that you and all your stupid All followers will be imprisoned and brought back to Al for trial!”

"What does he want to do? Make people rebel?" Kerrigan whispered.

"Everything I do is for Aiur! Once the opportunity is right, I will return to Aiur." Tassadar responded calmly.

"The Dark Templar has corrupted you so deeply." Aldaris' voice rose.

"Arbitrator, anger will not help solve the problem." At this time, a voice that sounded too young appeared.

A protoss wearing a golden-blue executive robe stood up from behind Aldaris. He was wearing an almost old-fashioned plate armor, and his eyes were as clear as water.

"Executor, you are still so young, but you have already been promoted to the position I once held." Tassadar looked at him and said.

"Artanis."

The tavern mistaken me!
