Ch. 9 - Materials

After gaining control of the entire Colony, I directly command the current Zerglings as well as Roaches to go to the west of here and retrieve the hill of corpses I left and specially retrieved Abathur's corpse. I will be needing those corpses and recycle them for other plans I have. I then commanded the Queen to place the corpses to the Evolution Chamber and have her evolve the Evolution Chamber to an Evolution Fortress courtesy from Abathur's genetic blueprint. I also commanded the Queen to generate a pair of Zerglings which I will be using to experiment what I unit I had in mind. After giving command, I then headed east to find that spider-specie.

After travelling for a few minutes I encountered a very curious insect. From Abathur's memory, they are called Sniper Insect. Little insect the size of a frog with a very deadly accuracy. They collect small round rocks which they will throw to their prey. Sounds pretty normal but if the distance we are talking about is 1 Km from the insect then that is very awesome. The reason why Abathur didn't absorbed the insects essence/genes is because he thought that this is a weak insect and is not worthy to be added to the Swarm. Well, he is technically correct since as long as you can evade the first shot and found this guy's hiding spot you can easily dispatch it. It's armor/carapace is weak, the guys is pretty slow, has short stubby but powerful legs. Can't blame him but I definitely have a use for this little guy's genes.

After a few hours of searching for that spider, I went back to the hive. It seems that the spider is pretty damn hard to find. I got a few animals that got my interest though. Aside form the Sniper Bug, I got what is similar to Pachyrhynchus Infernalis. Its a big beetle-like insect as big as a dog with a very hard carapace. I even have to reinforce my bone-swords with psionic energy to pierce its shell. It's deceptively fast for a big insect too. I almost thought it learned teleport. Unable to fly but can ram forward. Downside is they cannot move sideways or move backward. Im not an insect scientist (Author: is the word insectologist or zoologist?) so I don't know why. I can dig in Abathur's memory but its a waste of time. Next one is a flying snake with reflective scales. If it wasn't for my danger perception I might have gotten myself killed without know what killed me. This little fucker almost bit my neck. This guys is almost invisible while flying through the jungle due to its scales reflecting the surroundings. There is a red arrow mark on its face that is not reflecting any surfaces which helped me in discerning and capturing this guy. The last one is a strange animal. Imagine Spoink from Pokémon or Tigger from Winnie the Pooh and combine them with a hammer and a lizard. This weird animal has spring-like feet and tail. It is about 6 inches long and about 1 inch wide lizard. Its head is shaped like the blunt end of the hammer while it being as hard as diamond. I originally ignored these guys when I went inside a small cave. They started hitting me but it didn't hurt at all so I ignored them. After a few while they actually stopped. What I didn't know is that they were building enough force to knock me down. After I investigated the cave, I went out and met these guys again. Of course, I ignored them until the first one managed to break my arm. That is when things go down. I didn't dare let myself get hit again. It feels I got hit by a car...no...I guess its more accurate to say I got hit my a speeding truck that killed so many MCs and sent them to other worlds. When I grabbed them though they basically die of heart attack. It seems like they need to keep on jumping to let their blood move. Those are basically my harvest for the day.

Stolen story; please report.

After I got back I noticed that the Evolution Fortress was basically complete and all corpses has been placed inside including Abathur's. I also saw the two Zerglings I have requested. I'm terribly sorry my dear Zerglings but you have to be sacrificed for my experiments. I then commanded the Queen to do as what they were doing previously without mentioning that I was here. The door to the Evolution Fortress was then closed and will remain closed for a while.

World Encyclopedia Viel Seidis Sniper Bug A small insect native to a former planet that Viel Seidis destroyed before its landmass being used to trap Viel Seidis. Strange-looking since its an insect that has some how developed its front claws to hold an throw stones accurately over long distances. Its eyes is also developed to see those distances. Its four short stubby legs which ends in 3 sharp claws act as a stabilizer before throwing a stone it has gathered. It places its 'ammunition' in a box-like structure found just behind the Thorax. During aiming the bug does not move. (Since I cannot describe it well in writing: Imagine the Weaver of Dota 2 and instead of those little bugs imagine him throwing stones with a box to put stones on his Butt.)

World Encyclopedia Viel Seidis Armored Nyindra One of the toughest insect species found on Viel Seidis. Its hard shell is impervious to cutting attacks and possesses some degree of resistance against piercing and blunt attacks. Its shell will get harder the more nutrition the bug can get. It has a mechanism similar to a spring found on its back legs which is powerful enough to accelerate the body reaching up to Mach 1 speed in a short burst. Surprisingly a herbivore, kills enemies by ramming into them.

World Encyclopedia Viel Seidis Invis Scolecophidia A very hard to find killer of Viel Seidis. Native Terrans called this create Arrow of Red Death due to the red arrow marking found on the face of this vicious flying snake. Usually found near caves or high density of foliage where its reflective scales make it harder to find. Furthermore, this snake is just three inches wide and maximum of 2 feet long while its body with is just barely reaching half an inch making this already hard to find snake harder. Luckily, they hunt alone. There is a specific time in the year though in which these snakes will actively gather in large groups in the forest to reproduce and when that happens the Terrans will send an alert to all to avoid going into the forest otherwise your death is guaranteed. Also has a potent paralyzing poison.

World Encyclopedia Viel Seidis Bullet Demon Does not shoot bullets nor is a demon. Famed for its speed through its spring like feet and tail. Its head is made from a small amount of a certain mineral the lizard eats, Seidisium. Seidisium is actually the bone dust from Viel Seidis itself. This happens when a certain element + water oxidizes on the bones of Viel Seidis then hardens to form the mineral Seidisium. The lizard is purely eating rocks and minerals no specific mineral but seems to avoid eating rocks/minerals that is made from the Volcanic belt. The lizard needs to keep on moving to stay alive since they have no pulse to pump their blood. Literally staying in one place will kill them, usually a heart attack.
