Command Room, Scanner Station
New Francis, Mars
2:45, 2732 P.T.
Command Center
Commander Frankstain watched the screen closely, carefully keep tracking of the position of this uninvited Protoss battleship.
"We have incomings, flying objects. L134, A27, S374.5, heading this way" Someone shouted suddenly, the surprised techinician pointed to the scanning radar.
"Send warnings" Frankstain replied shortly, then turned to his assistant "Get Air Control Center, be ready for interceptions."
What is happening? Franstain pondered the question after he sent the commands.
"Sir, they didn't respond... they seem to be..." the technician shook his head disbelievingly
"Seem to be what?" Franstain demanded "Tell me!"
"Some kind of birds"
"Birds?" Frankstain cocked his head in confusion
A loud explosion shook the command center. Wires sent dozens of eletrical outbursts around the room. The commander struggled to get back his balance. Confused and terrified people gave in to chaos. All of a sudden, everyone was shouting commands, warnings, reports, curses and screams altogether.
"West Tunnel security breached!" A petrified assistant broke into the room, sweating heavily, he couldnt catch up his own breath "We, we... hhhh, hhh, sir, we... we.. lost communication, now they are attacking the Scanners."
"Calm down, son" Frankstain, despite all the chaos, remained a cool composure "Now, slow down and tell me, who are 'they'? "
"They... they..." the soldier dropped to his knees, shaken and battered, started to weep "they... no! they killed all of us! Only I..."
Before he could finish, another explosion sent pieces of broken metals, people, plastic, glasses mixed with screams and death rattles all about the room. The last thing Frankstain knew was an unearthly mocking laughter...
