A/N

The idea for this came from a forum thread, one where as part of a game (no pun intended), we applied sayings to various StarCraft factions and characters in the same style as the houses from A Game of Thrones. Basically this is an adapted version of the stuff I submitted.

A Game of Drones

Kerrigan,

I took the liberty of exploring the bowels of Skygeirr Platform after your defeat of Narud. While I will forward my full list of discoveries to you soon, one particular list caught my attention.

It appears that Narud has compiled a list of various terran, zerg, and protoss factions and assigned words to them, along with some other entries that don't fit that paradigm. I can only assume he was trying to give his master a briefer of sorts when he awoke, to get the 'essence' (sorry, having Dehaka with you I'm sure you're sick of hearing that word) of each faction. That, or working in the shadows for thousands of years takes a toll on your sanity, and even shapeshifters need to doodle.

In a way, it reminds me of an old book series I read on Earth, one where each house had its own set of words. But I'm sure it's just a coincidence.

Yours truly,

Alexei Stukov
