So now, I am going to use your advice, and make that shit better. No more gay comments and shit like that, and don't remind about what I did wrong, because it was extremely depressing... So now, on with the show!

The Fall of the Empire II
Chapter 4
"Sir, we are now landing our shuttle at the northern main mineral patch, we will be setting down shortly," beeped the shuttle's computer system.
"Good, have the probes gear up and get ready to land and immediately set out to make the main Nexus. I want everything done quickly, no mistakes!" asked the Praetor Phalimin.
"Yes sir, I will get right on it. We have 5 minutes 'till we land," replied the shuttle.
Phalimin looked off into the distance of Auir's plains surrounding the Lost Temple. It was there that his brethren had made their last stand with the weapon made by the Xel'Naga. Phalimin looked down at the ground, and he could still see, after so many years, a small tint of red. A single tear went down his face. Phalimin hated death, but being a Protoss warrior, he could not show his feelings. Just then, the shuttle landed and the probes moved out. One created the Nexus, while the others waited, they waited for the towering Nexus to appear. They waited for their headquaters to spring up and take to life. When it appeared, the probes immediately set to mining. Phalimin ordered another probe from the Nexus, because a Nexus always has an extra 50 minerals. (Don't ask me why).
"I want another probe out here, I want to be able to get these minerals fast," requested the Praetor,"And when we have enough minerals, build about five more probes in succesion."
"Yes Sir!" answered the computer system inside the Nexus.
"When we get our eleventh probe, I want it out of the main base to search for mineral and vespene patches," ordered the Praetor. "Maybe I could get this over quickly If I can mine everything out in all of the bases at the same time," muttered the Praetor.
What the Praetor didn't know was that there were two more species on the planet at the same time, who wanted the same minerals. Phalimin was the only Commander who did not know of the bloodshed that was coming towards him...
The eleventh probe came online a bit quicker than Phalimin thought. Phalimin's reaction was only,"At least we're a bit ahead of shedule," and he sent the probe to scout out the nearest main patch, the eastern position. Finding that he could not quite make another Nexus, he decided to use the probe to move out to the western position. Phalimin did not expect to see what he saw on his vid-screen...
"Sir, I am heading into the western mineral and vespene area, and aproaching the ramp up," beeped the little probe.
"Good my little friend, I want a mineral count and a vespene measurement when you get there," said the Praetor lazily.
"Ok sir," beeped the probe. "Sir, wait a second. There seems to be something blocking my way up. It looks like a building of some sort."
"Computer, tap me into the probes sensor array. I want to see what it's seeing," ordered the Praetor in a slightly worried voice. When he looked at the building, he knew what it was. It was a barracks. "Terrans? Here? What in the hell is going on," wondered the Praetor aloud. "See if you can get in, my little probe friend," said the Praetor.
"Ok Sir, but there is another builsind in the way, and another building is being constructed by a small creature inside a tin can that has rockets on the back," beeped the Probe as it slid past the SCV building the supply depot. "Ok Sir, I'm inside the mineral area."
"Good, what else can you see that is being built inside this base?" asked Phalimin. At the same time, he ordered for more probes at his base, and had a probe that was already built, build a pylon, and then two gateways. He was going to need them, and the Praetor now knew of the existence of other beings on the planet. Once the gateways were built, he had some zealots fitted up in armour, and when ready, were rallied to his choke point at the exit to his base.
"Sir, I can see another large building near the minerals. All of the SCVs are bringing the minerals they gather to it. It must be a Command Center Sir. There is also another barracks, as well as an engineering bay sir," said the probe.
"Ok probe, get back out of this base, and go to the southern mineral area. I want to know if there is something else we need to know about down there..." ordered the Praetor.
"Yes Sir. But sir, i can't get out, the wall in is complete sir," said the probe a little worriedly.
"Ok probe, see if you can hide in a corner of the base. I might need you later in that area anyway," said Phalimin a little disgustedly. Now he had to send another probe out to scout the southern area! But that probe would be useful later because he could not get more troops into that base. He could only hope that the probe was not noticed when it scouted the base, however. "Ok, I need another probe to go out to the southern area," said Phalinin to the computer in his Nexus."
"Yes sir, but why not use a zealot?" asked the computer.
Phalimin had forgotten about the zealots at his ramp.
Once he heard the idea, he decided to do what the computer said and send a zealot. He also ordered a probe at his base
to build some more pylons and start a cybernetics core.
"Sir, I am currently approaching the ramp into the southern mineral area," said the zealot to Phalimin.
"Ok, and may I ask one question my zealot brethren? What is your name?" asked the Praetor.
"My name? My name is Lokab Sir," answered Lokab.
"Ok Lokab, I want to know what you see when you get inside," said the Praetor.
"Ok Sir. Wait! There is something at the ramp. It covers the ground. It looks like creep sir. And in the middle, there is a hatchery!" exclaimed Lokab.
"Go past it and get inside the base Lokab," ordered Phalimin.
"Ok Sir, i'm in. There is a second hatchery near the minerals and a spawning pool nearby. There is also something morphing. I'm not sure what it is, but do you want me to go check it out? Wait a second, there are also some eggs near the hatchery. What do you want me to do?" asked Lokab.
"I want you to get out now Lokab. GET OUT!" ordered Phalimin. He was afraid of losing Lokab. He did not want this loyal soldier to die.
"Ok, I'm going sir," answered Lokab. "Uh oh, I'm screwed."
"What's wrong Lokab? What's going on?" asked Phalimin.
"Lokab! Are you okay?"
