Commission by [funeralwind]

Timing was everything for this commission. After receiving a Starcraft 2 beta key, I decided to green light this idea. Funeralwind drew a previous infested Terran commission several years ago for me and I was fortunate to find him when he was available again. There were many challenging details to sort out for this commission and he did an excellent job in interpreting my request. I received regular updates from funeralwind and he overcame great technical issues to complete the commission for me. I greatly appreciate his work and I hope you visit his gallery to show your appreciation too. He does excellent commission work so check if he’s open for those too.

Title: Infested Samus

Background:
The Zerg are a ravenous, diabolical collective of alien species from the universe of Starcraft. They absorb, infest, and corrupt new alien species into their fold. They are led by Kerrigan the Queen of Blades, an Infested Terran.

Samus Aran is a bounty hunter from the Metroid universe and she is the fusion of Chozo technology and human tenacity.

Story:
Was it pride or the challenge of the greatest prey of all? By no means would the Queen of Blades be ordinary prey. She commanded armies of billions of Zerg, bred for warfare and genetically hardwired to destroy. She was the greatest threat to the universe. That alone was enough to convince bounty hunter Samus Aran to embark on the great hunt. Was there more to it though?

Task at hand, the strategies were endless. Join a full scale frontal assault with the Terran Dominion? Use bait to attract her target to a trap? Eliminate key cerebrates and wreak havoc on basic command and control? Samus waited and watched for the right moment to strike. Little did she know, her prey would turn the tables on her.

While inside her combat suit, Samus was shielded from the psychic intrusions of the Queen of Blades, her allies were not as fortunate. A string of psychic echoes with every person she interacted with before she set out on the great hunt served to betray Samus’ mission and her intentions to her target. While it briefly piqued Kerrigan’s interest that someone else was determined to destroy her, it greatly interested her that she was unable to sense that person with her telepathic powers. That would be a powerful trait to obtain by one way or another.

While Kerrigan could not track her Samus directly, she could sense the psychic void that came closer to her each passing day. Not content to unleash her rank and file on the would be killer, Kerrigan created special breeds of enhanced Zerg to test and strengthen Samus’ resolve. These hunter-killer broods assaulted Samus by land, underground, and by air. Day and night they came to die swiftly. Samus’ combat training and hunting skills was more than a match for the collective Zerg.

It required personal attention from Kerrigan the Queen of Blades to defeat Samus and even then, Kerrigan suffered grievous injuries. Content that she had met someone capable of matching her own powers, Kerrigan sought to turn her foe into a kindred spirit. A special chrysalis was created and the fallen warrior placed within. The Chozo suit was separated from Samus for further study, while she underwent her transformation into an infested Terran.

Her rebirth into the Zerg Swarm granted Samus new abilities and she relishes the newfound sense of belonging she has now. The Zerg will consume all and she will help lead them to victory and conquest.
