StarCraft: Tyranid Empire

After the family dinner, Augustus returned to his room from the dining room on the pretext that he needed an early rest.

The Mengsk family's manor villa built on the cliff has hundreds of gorgeously decorated rooms inside. Corridors with mahogany floors and staircases covered with expensive carpets connect the various halls and floors together. There are more male servants than there are rooms. , maid and gardener for daily maintenance.

Augustus followed his own memories and walked through the corridor where the gold-framed portraits of the Mengsk family ancestors were hung on the walls. He climbed the cherry blossom wood stairs and entered the floor with bedrooms and paper libraries. Finally, at a door He stopped in front of the room with the English bronze plaque Au nailed on it with golden rivets.

Underneath the bronze medal is a promotional poster for the Terran Federation Marine Corps. The background of the poster is the surface of a lunar planet full of craters, and the deep black sky above. Several federal male and female officers, as handsome and beautiful as stars, were standing on a high raised sand dune. They gathered around with formulaic bright smiles, and each stretched out his hand to hold a flag fluttering in the wind.

The fake and ridiculous show, even the synthesized picture, is ten thousand times more real than this.

——This is what the original Augustus said about the poster. But despite this, he still posted it on the door, just to prove his determination to join the army to his father.

Next to Augustus' room are the bedrooms of Arcturus and Dorothy. The door of the former's room is only engraved with the same bronze plate with the English letters AR on it, while the door of the latter's room is engraved with AR. An abstract purple pony is painted on it. None of the doors had doorknobs or keychains. Where handles should have been, there were square grooves about two inches on a side and one inch deep.

Standing at the door, Augustus thought carefully for a moment, then he stretched out his right index finger and inserted it into the groove. The headplate engraved with English letters immediately turned over, and a small round camera protruded from the door and projected in front of him. A holographic projection screen with a bright blue background.

The words flashed on the screen: Facial recognition completed. Fingerprint recognition has been completed. Iris recognition is complete. Gene identification is complete. The record has been uploaded, the 24-hour genetic database is refreshed, and the lock is unlocked at 22:37, March 25, 2488 AD.

This is the world of StarCraft, a future world in the 25th century. But modern people may have no advantage at all when they come here.

Augustus pushed open the automatically unlocked door and walked into the bedroom. He turned on the chandelier hanging from the ceiling. The soft white light passed through the hollow ceiling carved with white patterns and immediately illuminated the entire bedroom. The furnishings of the bedroom are not considered luxurious. There is a bronze-framed lattice window on the wall opposite the door. Through the glass of the window, you can see the huge courtyard of the holiday villa. In the courtyard are the lush green gardens and gardens under the light.

These evergreen plants are vibrant and fragrant all year round. Thin gravel paths separate the green world and lead to the building where servants and guards live. Outside the fence, a wider and straighter asphalt road leads directly to the apron where the cold gray near-Earth spacecraft is parked and the underground garage filled with various hover cars and armed armored vehicles.

The other two walls each have a single bed and bookshelves filled with books. Hanging next to the bookshelves are some firearms, including handicraft-like muzzle-loading guns, colonial-era semi-automatic weapons and the latest electromagnetic guns.

It turns out that Augustus was very fond of firearms, not just for collecting, but he was also able to use these weapons skillfully. This was one of the reasons why Augustus wanted to join the army. If his brother Arcturus wanted to be a prospector, then Augustus' dream was to become a general across the galaxy.

Augustus lay on the bed and began to think about everything he would face in the future.

Augustus Mengsk does not exist in the original story. The Angus family originally had only one son and one daughter, but no second son. Rather than saying that he replaced Augustus, it is better to say that this character exists because of his own time travel.

Being a nobleman at least brought some advantages to Augustus. In the cruel world view of StarCraft, traveling through time with such an identity at such a time is actually not the worst thing.

Since Arcturus, the eldest son of the Mengsk family, has joined the Federation Marine Corps and has not returned to Korhal for more than eight years, Augustus' parents also have many issues regarding the education of their only remaining son. Disagreement.

Angus did not want his sons to join the army, so Augustus ultimately failed to complete his previous studies at Stillling Military Academy and had to transfer to a university funded by the family. After Augustus joined the army without telling his parents, he could only start as a recruit.

The Terran Federation implements a military recruitment system and does not force recruitment from all walks of life. However, after signing up and passing a series of enlistment tests, those who refuse to perform military service will be regarded as deserters. Due to the declining number of people enlisting in the military, this requirement was not included in federal law until the past two years.

The good news is that it is now the year 2488, and there are still more than ten years before the first contact between humans and the other two alien races in the StarCraft worldview, the Protoss and the Zerg. Augustus has not encountered anything incredible yet. of demons and monsters.

Regardless of the fact that the time traveler butterfly effect caused the first contact between humans and alien alien races to be advanced, Augustus would not encounter Zerg or Protoss until he successfully discharged his military service after completing his military service contract. Moreover, his brother Arcturus is now a colonel in the federal army. In the email he sent last week, he bluntly stated that Augustus will be transferred to his own army after the recruit training is completed.

Augustus sighed, stood up and walked to a floor-to-ceiling mirror, looking at his appearance after time travel for the first time.

The mirror reflected Augustus's handsome face, which was one of the proofs that he had the noblest and oldest bloodline of Terran humans.

Like all the men of the Mengsk family, Augustus is very handsome. He has high cheekbones, a nose that is almost hawk-like, a pair of bright and sharp cold gray eyes, and a fluffy dark gray short hair. Clean and tidy.

Average, ordinary, okay.

Mengsk. Augustus whispered this ancient and noble surname softly. In the various factories and affiliated cities and towns established by the Mengsk family on Korhal, they are like a true royal family.

But Augustus clearly remembered that in the background of the game, because his father Angus deliberately rebelled and wanted to lead Korhal to overthrow the rule of the Tyranid Federation, everyone in the Mengsk family except the eldest son Arcturus was involved in the rebellion. They were later assassinated by three Terran Federation ghost agents.

As for the specific time, Augustus did not know.

By then, will he be able to prevent that tragedy from happening?

Of course, as a time traveler, Augustus also had reasons to ignore these and hide far away.

Dong dong——

At this time, Augustus suddenly heard the sound of the doorbell ringing, and the information processor behind the door showed that it was his sister Dorothy outside. Augustus hesitated for a moment, then walked over and opened the fingerprint lock on the door.

A girl with a silver-gray single ponytail walked in. She was wearing a lavender house dress, and her bright cold gray eyes were shining. Her expression was so helpless, and her sad eyes clenched Augustus's heart for a moment.

In an instant, many memories flashed through Augustus's mind like electricity. Compared to the eldest son of the family, Arcturus, who was already twenty-eight years old, the age gap between him and his sister was not that big. Augustus spent a happy childhood with Dorothy, watching her grow from a little kid dragging a pony doll around to a graceful girl.

Augustus... Dorothy walked towards Augustus with her head lowered, and suddenly hit him in the stomach with a headbutt.

They said you could die.

I assure you that I will never die, said Augustus.

You must write me a letter every week from now on. Dorothy raised her head, her beautiful cold gray eyes covered with a hazy mist.

Augustus couldn't find any reason to reject his sister.

good.

He said.
