Victory Points: 5
RESOURCES
TERRAN DOMINION [Background] (1)​
The men and material of the Dominion - limited, but they're mustering as we speak.
ALLIANCE EXPEDITIONARY FORCES [Mastery] (1)​
While you have access to several ACUs of every faction, they lack economic and technological support to be fully effective.
ZERG HIVE [Mastery] (1)​
The scant few Zerg you control that are free of Amon's influence. Mostly Zerglings.
AEON FLEET [Background] (1)​
While half a dozen CZARs seem impressive, they're not actually well made for ship to ship combat.
ALLIED COHESION [Motivation] (1)​
The alliance is fragile and weak.

Cr being Kerrigan's wingman amuses me.

Edit:
[X] Ignore Kerrigan, you'd like to hear more of Cr's opinions on romance.
-[x] Does Zerg romance perhaps involve deceit kidnapping, murder and forcible assimilation. Because that would be stupid.

I mean, I kinda have to vote for this one too.

It feels fundamentally wrong to be all good after she murdered basically our entire expeditionary fleet. Horner may be our only subordinate left alive, and we're ready to crack jokes and flip colors?

Yeah, your girl friend has lied to you and killed all your subordinates and has now kidnapped you and turned you into her submissive monster-girl slave in her Giger dungeon. Probably shouldn't be taking this lying down.
 
...just to check, you guys do know that Clarke doesn't actually know what happened to the E1 and can ask about it?

Like, Clarke was knocked out before it was hit by scourges and such.

EDIT: If people choose that for a write in, it's 0 Heat

I was keeping that question in the air until we get to the mission briefing, where Kerrigan has to admit that she doesn't have a captured ACU for Clarke to pilot.

Edit:
That is, also, an assumption...hohoho...
Well considering the Cybran ACU pilot isn't a pile of smoldering ashes Sarah likely has their ACU which is an interesting situation, can we even pilot a Cybran ACU, from what I remember from the intro cinematic you get loaded into a container which is then inserted into the ACU

Sarah is the slave master here, there can't be a real relationship until she budges towards being a better person.

Huh, that's right - she'd only know that Stukov left her high and dry for some reason. Well, there's been plenty of votes already, we can bring that up in the next update.

Being really passive-aggressive is probably our best bet here. Technically cooperating, but never missing a moment to remind Kerrigan of all the shit she'd really rather Clarke forget and get back to the yuri.

It's so much hotter if she makes us hers after a struggle, you know? Gotta play the long game.
(I know my kinks, fucking sue me ):p
