Sgt. Patches' debut
Zerg BM is the fourth episode in the first season of StarCrafts.
Plot[]
After the events of previous episode, "Micro Marine", the surviving marine gets ambushed by a zergling. He reaches the bunker occupied by another marine and jumps through its window but is stuck. The second marine pulls him inside, revealing an exposed rear end ripped off by the zergling. A second zergling jumps onto the bunker and defecates. Two marines prepares their rifles. The butt-exposed marine sees a jumping zergling and aims at it. When the second zergling is heard behind the second marine, the butt-exposed marine shoots at it but accidentally hits the other marine, killing him, much to his shock and horror.
