[Sarah is looking much cleaner, a little less tired, but she is standing on the balcony with an air of all business about her. It's early in the morning, and she's watching the sun rise in the distance. Her attention shifts to the camera with a glance.]Anyone care to give out details about this attack on the city a few days ago? I walked passed

I am pleased to see your safe return, Sarah Kerrigan.

During a period of your absence, the enemy made an attempt to test the strength of the city. While there was a substantial amount of damage done, our combined efforts defended our territory.

[Oh, it's the Protoss who doesn't try to kill her often. She regards him lazily and without alarm.]

Mostly property damage, or was there high casualties sustained as well?

[aiursfavoredson]

There were a number of citizen casualties along with casualties among the guests. I believe there were a number of those who had lost their lives during the invasion.

People who can't fight should stay out of them. Still... causalities can't be avoided.

You obviously survived. Has your partner and the female of your race skinned through as well?

[oh dammit, it's her. he figures she deserves to know, but man is this going to suck. NOT his favorite thing about being the huge driven leader, that's for sure.

he leaves the damage report to the rest of the dumbasses who reply.]

WE NEED TO TALK.

[There is a significant amount of time before a return message. Smooth, Karkat, smooth.]

Is that why his communicator is disconnected? Was he killed in combat?

[Ah, recognizes Sarah as the woman that she met when she first got here. She remembers not minding talking to her, either.]

Kishin Eggs swarmed the city. We got about three hours of advance notice since some kids were out in the desert on a mission or something.

[A pause.]

It sounds like they attacked a bunch of other bases, too. We got off the easiest, since we had time to get ready.

[And that's saying something. It had been pretty crazy.]

[ghostofaqueen]

[Ah, you're the woman from that other post. She's was watching you, but she was on good behaviour then and will be now.]

Just Kishin Eggs? No witches this time around?

[She considers that information.]

A coordinated simultaneous attack then?

[Video]

[lady_may_cry]

[She's had a hard week, and she doesn't know how to say that she was worried without coming off like a bitch. Really, having both of you back in the city is nothing but a good thing.]

No witches, though I'm sure someone sent them. And there were a lot of them.

[She nods.]

That's what it sounds like. Testing out defenses, hoping for more damage than they managed to cause. A lot of the other places weren't as lucky, if the reports we got over the network are right.

[ghostofaqueen]

No doubt. They must have known how to infiltrate the city or multiple cities. If they continue to attack multiple cities, it will tax resources horribly.

[She pauses to look up a few reports before nodding.]

If this city is smart, we will be counter-attacking to cause more damage and keep them planning.

Things? You survived, so you should consider that good enough of a time.

Your life truly has sustained a great and long-lasting loss.
