forsyth | Another drabble

For

scribbleykins Starcraft, after the end of the Terran campaign. I hope you appreciate my sacrifice, I'd uninstalled SC, I had to re-beat the Terran campaign to get this right! And that's why I didn't do the later Zerg bit, because I already'd wasted enough hours playing :)

This took a lot of rewording to get to be 100 words exactly. See the meme here. I'm open for more suggestions!

"...no matter the cost."

Transmissions were weak, here in deep space, but enough came through. "Should I inform Captain Raynor?" my adjutant asked.

"No," I said, "He knows." Best to let him brood.

Damn Arcturus anyway. Billions dead, for his fancy chair and fractured empire. Tarsonis lay far behind us, nobody's now.

Kerrigan and the others. We'd made time for evac, but I think she'd known none was coming. She knew Mengsk better than us, she was a telepath, didn't she know...?

"Adjutant, take us into Protoss space." No Zerg there, and few enough of us to ignore, with luck.
