Shadir also felt a shudder as he watched the Zerglings get fried. Deep down, he felt a strange sort of empathy with the creatures.  Though they were of the hated Zerg, they almost felt like brothers. Even more disconcerting was Gonathi's remark about how the protoss were more similar to the zerg than they would like to admit.  In reply, he spat acid at the spot were the other flamethrower had appeared, eating through the wall plating and un-impeding their progress.  Slowly, he noddeed his head. "I think I understand. I felt it too." His face became a grim countenance as he started to brood. Meanwhile, he was also worried about Pyre. She had entered by herself and had most likely encountered the same defenses as he and Gonathi. He knew she was a capable soldier, but if his plan was to succeed, he'd need her to survive.
