*Reisen wasn't the type for witty banter, if that's what Kerrigan was hoping for*

Why...?

[queenofthezerg]

*Kerrigan was examining her fingernails idly.*

It seemed like a good idea at the time. Everyone knows Reisen. Everyone likes Reisen. You've even got that anti-social overlord's ear...Mao! That was his name. And soon, you'll have a whole lot more friends.

[pet_moonrabbit]

What?

*she didn't want to believe this was happening... but... there she was. Kerrigan had betrayed her trust*

What are you going to do...?

[queenofthezerg]

I've already done it, it'll all be clear in a minute.

*and because she's a telepath*

Oh come on, "betrayed your trust"? I warned you. I told you that I did bad things.

[pet_moonrabbit]

That's... that's not the point! You told me circumstances forced you to be that way! You don't have to do this...

[queenofthezerg]

*shrug* Circumstances are still forcing my hand. When this world is properly united, Baal will be a piece of cake.

[pet_moonrabbit]

W-what?!

What could possibly have forced you to do this?!

[queenofthezerg]

You're all disorganized. You bicker and fight amongst each other on a prison world while the wardens laugh as they watch us scurry around like rats in a maze. My god do you know how much raw potential there is here? And it's squandered on petty grudges, arguments and feuds.

Also...

2/2

[queenofthezerg]

I really really wanted to.

[pet_moonrabbit]

*there's just a long pause at that, and then*

... you... wanted to?

[queenofthezerg]

Okay okay, so maybe I lied to you a little bit. You have no idea what this is like, Reisen. There's so much power. It's so...vast.

You'll understand better soon.

[pet_moonrabbit]

... that doesn't mean you should be forcing this on me... or anyone...

[queenofthezerg]

I suppose the process can be kind of unpleasant, but if you haven't noticed, I'm not the honorable one here.

Honoring and helping the people around me? Not high on my list of priorities.

[pet_moonrabbit]

... if that's how you really feel, then...

*Kerrigan's probably getting the idea that Reisen's about to light up those eyes of hers to blast the goop off*

[queenofthezerg]

Now now, let's play nice.

[Spasms of agony suddenly ripped through Reisen's body, wiping away any concentration of power she might have been preparing.]

Just for the record, on a scale of 1-10 that was about a 2.

[pet_moonrabbit]

*Reisen can't help but gasp, shivering as the pain coursed through her*

... s-stop...
