so i just finished reading Putting the Pieces Back, and what do i find out? That there's a sequel? And even better the author has recently updated? Boy this can't get any better, you sir have made my day.

Well, good to see you back after all this time.

So, what's going to be of Stukov now? You didn't give us any clue of what's going to happen to him, or he's going to have any luck scoring with Okoi.

You used it as a joke, but a machine revolution would be rather interesting as a source of conflict in a post-Amon Starcraft world.

I can see Paula insisting Sirella has to thank her for the inspiration provided for all her new paintings.

So, Tesson is a wrestler? And they let humans and protoss wrestle against each other? I mean, I know it's fake, but still.

Good chapter, I'll be eagerly waiting for the next one.

I really want to see an animated wrestling match with a protoss now.
hell, I wish this whole story could be animated, it's awesome.

Woo a new chapter, great as always!

OH GOD NO, NOT DECK 8

Thanks for the heads up. And yeah, don't worry, we all have real life issues to worry about.

So, is captain Okoi a psionic? Given the way you described her eyes, I got that impression.

Also, Deck 8? Man, that was a dick move on Tanja's part.

Anyway, great chapter as usual. I'll be eagerly waiting for the next one, no matter how long it takes to arrive.

interesting

Man, I wasn't expecting a chapter from this kind of perspective. Then again, it's nice to see what the Protoss are up to. So, Paula is dating a Protoss? Also:

"We're still alive?"
"This day is full of disappointments."

That line was golden. Who would have thought tht Artanis would be so funny as a cranky old man?

Oh, so Stukuov was like hibernating, but Paula somehow caused the Zerg DNA in him to go crazy? Interesting. Good to see that his torment is finally over and is back to human. Even then, it's a huge improvement over his previous state.

As for why people like Stukov? Well, I guess it's a combination of coming from Earth, being the nicest (or at least, reasonable) Terran character not named Raynor but still smart enough to know that there was something fishy about Duran, and having the guts to go against his superior's orders to ensure the success of their mission, even if he did it behind his back.

Though, if you didn't find him interesting, one has to wonder why did you keep him around for so long instead of giving him the Dehaka treatment.

Whooo another chapter! I really enjoyed this one, cant wait to see where this goes

Tesson might be enjoying himself just a bit too much.

Joseph's obssession with touching the Ihan Crystal reminded me of a Spongebob episode where Patrick wanted to touch everything explicitly labeled against touching.

Quite interesting chapter, driven mostly by character dialogue and interaction rather than plot development. Still, it was quite enjoyable. I can't wait to read the next one.

I'm guessing Joseph is what James Raynor is calling himself now if so I find it funny how the Professor is calling him nuts not knowing Raynor could turn the poor guy into a pile of goo at the drop of a thought.

No Raynor nor Sirella this chapter. Nor Stukov either.

So, Paula did promise somebody to bring Zeratul back. Did that promise happened in the previous story and I forgot about it, or you haven't revealed it yet?

Also, something I thought: can Izsha's daughters turn into humans like their mother? Because I think it would be funny to see them outside of Stenheim (or whatever's written).

Anyway, cool chapter as usual. I can't wait to read the next one.

I think Blizzard could've given a more clear road to redemption for Kerrigan. Some of the paths they chose for her in Wings of Liberty and Heart of the Swarm was not easy to defend, almost like climbing a mountain. But at the end of the day, it is what it is and she got back together with Raynor in the end.

The fic's great by the way! Keep updating!
