Chapter 1 : Awakening
Darkness
It surrounded me, and I couldn't move, hell I couldn't even feel my arms or legs. I'm wasn't even sure if I was still alive. Then the memories started to flood my mind. My name, my family and my life. I remember being on a plane before everything went dark. Then I opened my 'eyes' and saw something that shook me to the core. Zerg, hundreds of them, mostly zerglings and drones but still. I tried to move but realised I didn't even have a body, for I was a Zerg hatchery. Now everything was beginning to clear up I tried to recall what had happened to me.
I remembered it all now. My family and I were going on a trip to Hawaii, I was near the window when I saw the entire wing go up in flames. That was the last thing I could remember before the darkness.
I am not going to pretend that I dealt with my new situation calmly, fuck no, that shit I was devastating. I was depressed not only because of my situation, but also because my entire family was dead and even if they somehow survived, I wouldn't be able to see them again. Then I became mad, like extremely, earth shakingly mad. The Zerg in my presence were roused and fought each other and/or everything that moved. After a few days (or weeks wasn't really sure), I was finally capable of coherent thoughts again.
In my human life I had been a nerd, who loved to read the lore behind RTS games even if they weren't really my thing. I especially liked the Zerg. I was always fascinated with their ability to constantly evolve and adapt and as such they were always my favourite Starcraft race.
I accessed the Zerg Collective Hivemind, and apparently the planet I was on was a distant world on the far fringes of the Koprulu Sector or maybe I wasn't in the sector at all. Perfect, I thought, I was away from all the fighting which gave me time to figure out how to learn to Control, Direct and Grow my brood. I remembered reading stories like this where a poor schmuck was transplanted into a Zerg body. However unlike most of them, when I merged with the overmind, I seemed to have become the dominant personality, meaning that I kept my personality and traits with the added benefit of having the extensive knowledge of the Swarm at my figurative finger tips. Right now the events of Brood War were occurring and Kerrigan was about to take her place as the universe's Queen Bitch.
I then turned to the Zerg on this planet, they weren't as much as I expected, the only Zerg on the planet were those around me. That meant that they had arrived very recently. Only 9 zerg larvae, 1000 zerglings and 30 drones. I noticed my surroundings, I was on an island, a lush island with much biomass to consume. I had the drones gather minerals and resources while the zerglings gathered biomass by hunting the native species. Soon I had a second Hatchery, a Spawning Pool and an Evolution Chamber.
I am not going to bother you with the details of how I built my brood over the next 2 weeks, but just know that I now I have at least three full Hive Clusters under my control. With Hatcheries, Spawning Pools and Roach Dens. Things were much easier after I spawned a few Overlords. Overlords were very useful to micromanage the Zerg for me, but very terrible conservationists nonetheless. Trust me I tried. Over time the entire island was infested. However the space and biomass weren't enough. An idea came to me and I sent a drone under water and saw something that shocked me. A garryfish.
This was Planet 4546B.
Oh well, at least I won't be left with a shortage of biomass
