Ch. 9 - Materials

  After gaining control of the entire Colony, I directly command the current Zerglings as well as Roaches to go to the west of here and retrieve the hill of corpses I left and specially retrieved Abathur's corpse. I will be needing those corpses and recycle them for other plans I have. I then commanded the Queen to place the corpses to the Evolution Chamber and have her evolve the Evolution Chamber to an Evolution Fortress courtesy from Abathur's genetic blueprint. I also commanded the Queen to generate a pair of Zerglings which I will be using to experiment what I unit I had in mind. After giving command, I then headed east to find that spider-specie.

  After travelling for a few minutes I encountered a very curious insect. From Abathur's memory, they are called Sniper Insect. Little insect the size of a frog with a very deadly accuracy. They collect small round rocks which they will throw to their prey. Sounds pretty normal but if the distance we are talking about is 1 Km from the insect then that is very awesome. The reason why Abathur didn't absorbed the insects essence/genes is because he thought that this is a weak insect and is not worthy to be added to the Swarm. Well, he is technically correct since as long as you can evade the first shot and found this guy's hiding spot you can easily dispatch it. It's armor/carapace is weak, the guys is pretty slow, has short stubby but powerful legs. Can't blame him but I definitely have a use for this little guy's genes.

  After a few hours of searching for that spider, I went back to the hive. It seems that the spider is pretty damn hard to find. I got a few animals that got my interest though. Aside form the Sniper Bug, I got what is similar to Pachyrhynchus Infernalis. Its a big beetle-like insect as big as a dog with a very hard carapace. I even have to reinforce my bone-swords with psionic energy to pierce its shell. It's deceptively fast for a big insect too. I almost thought it learned teleport. Unable to fly but can ram forward. Downside is they cannot move sideways or move backward. Im not an insect scientist (Author: is the word insectologist or zoologist?) so I don't know why. I can dig in Abathur's memory but its a waste of time. Next one is a flying snake with reflective scales. If it wasn't for my danger perception I might have gotten myself killed without know what killed me. This little fucker almost bit my neck. This guys is almost invisible while flying through the jungle due to its scales reflecting the surroundings. There is a red arrow mark on its face that is not reflecting any surfaces which helped me in discerning and capturing this guy. The last one is a strange animal. Imagine Spoink from Pokémon or Tigger from Winnie the Pooh and combine them with a hammer and a lizard. This weird animal has spring-like feet and tail. It is about 6 inches long and about 1 inch wide lizard. Its head is shaped like the blunt end of the hammer while it being as hard as diamond. I originally ignored these guys when I went inside a small cave. They started hitting me but it didn't hurt at all so I ignored them. After a few while they actually stopped. What I didn't know is that they were building enough force to knock me down. After I investigated the cave, I went out and met these guys again. Of course, I ignored them until the first one managed to break my arm. That is when things go down. I didn't dare let myself get hit again. It feels I got hit by a car...no...I guess its more accurate to say I got hit my a speeding truck that killed so many MCs and sent them to other worlds. When I grabbed them though they basically die of heart attack. It seems like they need to keep on jumping to let their blood move. Those are basically my harvest for the day.

  After I got back I noticed that the Evolution Fortress was basically complete and all corpses has been placed inside including Abathur's. I also saw the two Zerglings I have requested. I'm terribly sorry my dear Zerglings but you have to be sacrificed for my experiments. I then commanded the Queen to do as what they were doing previously without mentioning that I was here. The door to the Evolution Fortress was then closed and will remain closed for a while.
