Day -2

A group of people huddled around in a small, abandoned barracks on the outskirts of Augustgrad. They were all whispering amongst themselves, asking each other if they had seen any lost family members, and what to do about the situation. Raynor entered the barracks.

"Commander Raynor," said an old, raggedy civilian, "my wife... my kids... they're all gone! The zerg took 'em in the middle of the night! I don't know what to do!" The old man fell on his knees and tried his best to stifle his tears, but he could not do so. Another civilian, a girl, no older than a teenager, also came out of the crowd.

"My parents were also taken! I went to the Dominion troops for help, but they wouldn't listen to me! It's been three days now, and I haven't heard from them!" she said.

Raynor walked up to the old man and helped him onto his feet.

"Don't worry," he said to the man, "we're going to get your family back." He turned to the young girl. "And yours too."

"But how?!" yelled a man in the crowd. "The Dominion won't listen to us! They're too busy tryin' to catch you!"

Raynor turned to the man. "Since when has Mengsk ever helped you anyways? He doesn't care about you folks. If we're going to do this, we're going to do it on our own."

---------------------------------

A dark, wretched slime was inching towards the city. Housed on top of it was a hive. Beside it, a dark, large monster of unimaginable power stood there.

"Awaken, my children," said the dark, ominous figure, "and embrace the glory that which is yours. The terran city lays before us, and its people sleep soundly. Now is our time to strike!"

One by one, the horrid agents of the Swarm, the queens, crept out of the hive. They turned towards the city and began journeying there.

The great monster peered off into the distance, looking at the sleeping city. "The hour of darkness is about to set on the terrans. Soon, they will bow to me, and no one will resist my rule."
