One of our brood mothers in the Koprulu sector is picking up a strange psionic signal. 1
It is Zerg, but not part of the swarm.
I know you seek to total Mengsk. 2
His alien soldiers, the Hybrid, are your greatest threat.
If you wish to stop them, meet me at these coordinates.
If the Dominion is controlling Hybrid, our invasion of Korhal will fail.
This lab must be destroyed.
My queen, the invested Terran who contacted you waits over there.
He claims to know you.
Who are you?
You will not recognize me.
I am Alexei Stukov.
We were enemies once.
Well we both seem to be Zerg now.
Indeed, and we share a common goal: the destruction of this facility.
It is here that Mengsk breeds the hybrid,
divining Protoss and Zerg DNA to create monstrous creatures of Immense power. 3
Then we’ll destroy this facility together.
The infested Terran… I have never seen his like.
He is powerful, but closed off. 4
Where is he from?
Stukov is from Earth.
A few years ago, they sent an invading Force here.
I remember it. I destroyed them.
As it should be.
I thought Stukov was killed.
I heard reports that he’d been resurrected, that he’d been infested, then cured.
If he’s been a prisoner here all these years, anything is possible.
This isn’t just about getting rid of the hybrid threat, is it?
Why are you helping me?
They held me here for many years.
I survived experiments, torture and worse.
Now I will see it burn.
You were the only one I could think of with the power and will to aid me.
Infested.
Held captive.
Experimented on, and hunted.
We have some things in common.
Organism Stukov fascinating.
How so?
Modifications of Stukov second only to modifications of primal Queen of Blades.
However, Stukov product of specific design.
Interweaving of Terran and Zerg matter.
Subtle. Spun on micro scale. Not possible for swarm. 6
Something out there is better at this than you, and you don’t like it.
Entity responsible for Stukov exceeds organism Abathur. 7
Untenable to oppose.
Recommend immediate indoctrination into foreign entities swarm. 8
Never.
