Kyle knew the Dominion wouldn't give him a chance to escape. Priority had been placed on evacuating everyone, SCVs abandoned the mineral veins and pressure mines. They still weren't fast enough.
The first salvo came out of nowhere. The entire northern bunker network was obliterated, Kyle felt rather glad he'd decided to abandon that area. His marines had dug into a rocky mountain ridge that was to the west of the bunkers, they were preparing a pair of concussion mortars. Kyle knew he couldn't defeat the Dominion, but the enemy's destruction was not the objective today. They had to hold out just a few minutes until all of the transports and buildings had escaped.
Kyle surveyed the terrain around him. He had positioned himself on top of the western ridge that protected the basecamp. Across the plain he could see the Dominion forces; Siege tanks, Goliaths, Diamondbacks, and a host of marines. He couldn't call for air support least his fleet's position be revealed to the enemy. Over the intercom he heard one of the marines grumble, "We're screwed!"
Kyle felt rather screwed at that point, once the goliaths got in range they'd tear the escaping transports apart, if they remained grounded the tanks would pound them. Then the second salvo hit.
It was just a mop up shot, the remaining bunker debris disappeared in a fiery explosion. Kyle pondered his situation, the Zerg were on the Eastern side of the plain where a series of sloping hills offered reasonable concealment. He was sure the zerglings he had on hand could take out the Goliaths and the tanks, if only the marines were gone. The Diamondbacks were push overs, the concussion mortars could take them out quickly. But the marines would over run his position.... There were just too many.
Kyle's anger began to build, he hated unwinable scenarios. It wasn't fair! He needed an edge, an advantage! Anything!
