For detailed reasons behind the making of this guide, please refer to my StarCraft Game Script guide which should be able to be found on the same sites where you found this guide. A very long time to complete this guide... well, I had to struggle to finish my master degree first, so this one have to be the second priority. Anyway, it's both completed now... phew... I'm sorry if there are some mistakes or flaws. Should you notice something is wrong or misspelled or anything, feel free to email me at : [email protected] However,I don't check my email too often...so your email subject should indicate about this guide or anything related to it, so that I can quickly notice it (for example, mention "[starcraft]" in the subject). Also, please be patient if your email don't get replied fast enough... :) So... here's the main part of this guide! Hope you enjoy it! ||||| Tabel of Contents |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||| To quickly find a mission, use the find/search command in your text browser then type the corresponing letter followed by dash and the number. The format is the same with my first / previous guide. However, to clearly differ the original and expansion missions, I decided to add "X" in front of the code for the expansion mission (Brood War, which is in this guide). So, XP = Protoss, XT = Terran, XZ = Zerg. Or you can input the mission title directly (if you remember...) Ex. for Terran campaign mission #8 you type XT-08 in the find/search input, or "To Chain the Beast" (with or without the quotes). Or, if you just remember the famous quotes, you can input it directly too to go to the corresponding mission. Note also that the chapter number begin at IV instead of I, as it is following the chapter in the game (I,II,III is the original missions, while IV,V,VI is the Brood War expansion missions). The mission number and title refers to the following list : ================================ IV. PROTOSS CAMPAIGN : THE STAND ================================ --- PROLOGUE --- XP-01.

As the Executor of the remaining Protoss forces, you must now attempt to reunite your beleaguered people and save them from the ravenous Zerg who still roam mindlessly across the blackened fields of Aiur.

"ESCAPE FROM AIUR" ] [------------------------------------------------------------------------------] [ Isolated Protoss base on the planet Aiur ] [------------------------------------------------------------------------------] ||||| Mission Briefing ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||| Objectives : - Bring Zeratul to the warp gate - Zeratul must survive Aldaris : Greetings, Executor. Though we all grieve for the loss of mighty Tassadar, we must find the resolve to carry on. He sacrified himself to destroy the Overmind, but many Zerg still rage across our ruined homeworld. Without the Conclave to lead us, or the protection of our great fleets, it seems we must fend for ourselves. Zeratul : Aldaris is correct, Executor. As we have both seen, the Zerg will not halt their rampage until every last one of us is dead. I suggest that we retreat to our last functional warp gate and travel to where the Zerg cannot follow us. Aldaris : With all due respect, Zeratul, the Protoss do not run from their enemies. Aiur is our homeworld. It is here that we shall make our stand! Zeratul : Just as your Conclave did? They are dead now, Aldaris, dead because they allowed their pride to blind their reason. Only if we learn from their mistake can we live to avenge them. Now, Executor, I know of a place where we can find solace. It is Shakuras, the secret homeworld of my people the Dark Templar. Aldaris : Your people? We would be seen as tyrants to them! Why would they shelter us? Zeratul : Have I not pledged myself to your cause? Not all beings are as unforgiving as your lamented Conclave, Aldaris. Aldaris : You are right, of course. Executor, Zeratul shall find us passage to the warp gate. After the gate has been secured, Fenix anf the new Praetor Artanis shall lead our surviving brethren to Shakuras. Artanis : Executor, I am Artanis. Though I have only recently been appointed Praetor, you can trust that I will uphold the honor and traditions of the Templar. Aldaris : We shall see. Raynor : Hey, boys, mind if we tag along? I figure headin' anywhere's got to be better than stayin' here with the Zerg! Zeratul : Commander Raynor. As ever, your assistance is appreciated. We would be honored if you joined us. ||||| Mission Start |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||| *** Spot the first Zerg Nydus Canal *** ZERATUL We should destroy these Nydul Canals so as to stem the flow of the Zerg reinforcements through them. *** Near the bottom left corner of the screen *** ZEALOT En Taro Adun!

This is all that remains of our forces in this province. We have found the location of the warp gate, but there is a sizeable Zerg force blocking the way. *** Reach the warp gate *** ZERATUL Executor, I have located the warp gate. We must hurry and evacuate the Khalai survivors before the Zerg return! RAYNOR Just worry about getting your people through the gate, Executor.

The survivors from Aiur have made it safely through the gate. Yet, amidst the chaos of our retreat we lost contact with Fenix and Raynor. I fear that they may have been overrun by the Zerg. Zeratul : Fear not, Artanis. Fenix is as stalwart a warrior as I have ever known, and the Terran Raynor has proven himself to be highly resourceful in the past. I for one believe that they made it here safely. But while we wait for word from them, we must reconnoiter the surrounding area and find a suitable location for a more premanent settlement. Once we're situated we can begin to search for the Dark Templar. ||||| Mission Start |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||| *** Spot Zerglings at the beginning *** ARTANIS Executor! There are Zerg on Shakuras!

DARK TEMPLAR Zerashk gulida! DARK TEMPLAR Adun Toridas, Zeratul! Glad I am to see that you've returned home after these many decades. But the strange guests that have followed you here seem ill-tempered. ZERATUL Well met, my brother! Indeed, these creatures known as the Zerg have no regard for the sanctity of life. Once we have secured this area, I shall tell you everything I know about them in council. DARK TEMPLAR I am sure the Matriarch will be eager to hear your tale as well. ARTANIS Executor! We have received a transmission from Raynor and Fenix! They are still alive, and are fighting to retake the warp gate on Aiur! We must secure the gate on this side without delay! NEW MISSION OBJECTIVE: - Destroy the Zerg base *** Find the Warp Gate *** ARTANIS There is no sign of Fenix or Raynor. They must still be on Aiur! *** Destroy the Zerg base *** RAYNOR Executor, my crew and I will remain here on Aiur and shut the gate down on this side. It's the only way to make sure that the Zerg won't send more reinforcements to Shakuras. ARTANIS You will be hopelessly outnumbered, and once the gate is shut down there will be no one to save you should you be overrun. RAYNOR Yeah, well... I'am a man of action. What can I say? FENIX I shall remain with Raynor as well, Executor. My duty is to Aiur, after all. ARTANIS Farewell then, brave warriors. We will send through all the troops we can spare. RAYNOR Thanks.

"LEGACY OF THE XEL'NAGA" ] [------------------------------------------------------------------------------] [ Main Protoss settlement at New Antioch, Shakuras ] [------------------------------------------------------------------------------] ||||| Mission Briefing ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||| Objectives : - Destroy the Zerg cerebrates Raszgal : I am Raszagal, Matriarch of the Dark Templar, and I welcome you and your companions to our world. Zeratul has informed me of the fall of Aiur, and I am deeply grieved. I am one of the few Dark Templar old enough to remember our ancestral home with clarity. Yet, no matter how tragic the circumstances, it is clear that fortune has reunited our people. We Dark Templar will never forget our banishment from Aiur, nor the Conclave's sins against us. But you and your companions are no longer of the Conclave. The example set by your fallen hero, Tassadar, has shown you that when the light and dark sides of our energies are united, our power is undeniable. Aldaris : But Matriarch, the Zerg who have followed us here are unlike any enemy the Protoss are ever known! Raszagal : You speak the truth, Judicator. And yet, there lies a dormant power here that can help us to scour the Zerg from Shakuras forever. Long ago, we Dark Templar were a nomadic people. But when we found a remarkable monument upon this world, we decided to remain here to study it. We discovered that the enormous structure is actually an ancient Xel'Naga temple, dedicated to the race that sired us all. The Temple is situated above a nexus of powerful cosmic energies. If we were to access those energies... Aldaris : Then we should strike now while the Zerg still muster their forces! Raszagal : Alas, we cannot. In order to properly channel the energies of the Temple, we will need the twin crystals, Uraj and Khalis, that legends say were separated many ages ago. The Uraj is laced with pure Templar energies, while the Khalis is comprised of Dark Templar energy. Only by using these two crystals in unison, can we hope to channel the potent energies of the Temple. Artanis : Then it is clear that we must retrieve these crystals wherever they may be. Raszagal : Agreed. But first, we must deal with the Zerg and their two Cerebrates who have already taken up station around the Temple itself. To arms, my children! Scour the Temple grounds of this foul infestation! ||||| Mission Start |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||| *** Beginning of the mission *** ZERATUL Remember, young Templar, cerebrates can be killed only by Dark Templar weapons and energies. My brethren will make short work of any cerebrate! ZERATUL Executor, our sensors show that the two Cerebrates are surrounded by spore colonies. We will deploy our Corsairs to compensate for their defenses. *** Kill the two Cerebrates *** KERRIGAN Well done, mighty Protoss! I'm glad to see that you all are as violent as ever. ZERATUL Kerrigan! What mockery is this? KERRIGAN Relax, warriors. Despite what you may think, I haven't come here to fight you. ALDARIS This is laughable! Do you truly expect us to believe that your intentions here are honorable? That these Zerg here are not under your sway? KERRIGAN Look, the Cerebrates you've killed were my enemies as well. If you let me explain, I'm sure you'll understand tha- ZERATUL You are the enemy of all who live, Kerrigan. What makes you think we would have anything to do with you? KERRIGAN Because, Zeratul, I bring news of an event that threatens us all. If you'd be so good as to escort me back to your citadel, I'll tell you everything I know. RASZAGAL Very well, Kerrigan. We shall hear what you have to say. But be warned: We will not suffer your treachery here. ||||| Mission End |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||| [------------------------------------------------------------------------------] [ XP-04. "THE QUEST FOR URAJ" ] [------------------------------------------------------------------------------] [ Protoss fleet orbiting the planet Braxis ] [------------------------------------------------------------------------------] ||||| Mission Briefing ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||| Objectives : - Bring Kerrigan to the Uraj crystal - Kerrigan must survive Raszagal : Now then, Kerrigan. Perhaps you had best explain yourself. What is this news you've come to give? Kerrigan : There is a new Overmind growing on Char. Zeratul : What? Impossible! Why should we believe anything you have to say? Kerrigan : Because, Zeratul, I'm no longer the mindless murderess whom you fought on Char. The Overmind is dead. Whatever warped control it once had over me is gone. I know that this is a lot to take in all at once, but you've got to believe me! There's more at a stake here than- Aldaris : She lies! She is infested to the core! I for one will not listen to any of this- Raszagal : Silence, Judicator. Continue, Kerrigan. Kerrigan : Apparently, many of the renegade Cerebrates, commanded by Daggoth, have merged into a new Overmind. Fortunately, the creature is still in its infant stages. It can't control the Swarm yet, but Daggoth and the others still have control over most of the Broods. The two Cerebrates you killed here were part of Daggoth's forces. Look, I don't need to tell you all what might happen if that thing reaches maturity. I can guarantee you that should it awaken, it'll take full control of me just like it did before. I don't want that to happen, and I'm pretty sure you don't want it to happen either. Zeratul : Even if what you say is true, our priority is to save this world, not assault the new Overmind! We must find the crystals Uraj and Khalis before we are all vanquished. Kerrigan : Then I'll help you with your search. If you can defeat the renegade Zerg gathered here, it'll weaken the efforts of Daggoth and his ilk. Raszagal : My children, you must put aside your fears and misgivings to accomplish what must be done. For the time being, Kerrigan will assist you in your endeavors. Though she has been your enemy, it is enough that we share the same agenda now. Allow her time enough to prove herself to you, and you may find her to be valued ally. For now, you must focus on the task at hand. Search for the Uraj on the planet Braxis, and let nothing stop you from recovering it. Artanis : We will do what you ask, Matriarch. But you cannot expect us to forgive Kerrigan's crimes against our race! Executor, prepare our forces. We shall debark for the planet Braxis before the next moonrise. ||||| Mission Start |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||| *** Beginning of the mission *** KERRIGAN Explain something to me, Zeratul. Why would your people leave such a sacred crystal in the hands of these Terrans? ZERATUL We didn't. Long ago, this world was a Protoss colony called Khyrador. When the strife between our tribes escalated, this planet and the Uraj Crystal were abandoned. These Terrans have come here only recently. ARTANIS Executor, we have a problem. Our warp matrix was damaged during transit. Because of the extensive damage, we will be unable to warp-in stargates to this location! *** Bring Kerrigan to the Uraj crystal *** KERRIGAN The Crystal's here, boys! Send in a probe to gather it up and our work here is done. ZERATUL You have done well, Kerrigan. There is more to you than it seems. Perhaps I have misjudged you. KERRIGAN Given our history, I can't say I blame ya'. Let's just get the job done. ||||| Mission End |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||| [------------------------------------------------------------------------------] [ XP-05.

Our sensors have just identified a large group of Terran vessels. However, their configuration profile is unlike any Terran group yet encountered. We are receiving a transmission from the fleet's command ship, identifying itself as the Aleksander. Stukov : Protoss Commander, I am Admiral Alexei Stukov of the United Earth Directorate. We are here to take control of the Terran Dominion and all of its outlying colonies. You are in direct violation of Terran space and have openly attacked Terran troops. Lower your shields and power down your weapon systems. The UED will be taking custody of your ships and whatever spoils you have garnered from this planet. Zeratul : United Earth Directorate? Raynor spoke of the distant Terran homeworld called Earth. These humans have come a long way to make war on us. Artanis : Have faith, Zeratul! You almost sound as if you fear these humans. What are they to such as we? Was it not we who defeated the dreaded Overmind? Zeratul : Yes, Artanis. We did vanquish the Overmind. But we did so with the help of humans. Do not be so quick to underestimate them. Artanis : Of course. Executor, I shall test the mettle of these humans by scouting ahead of your ships, and finding a way through this blockade! En Taro Tassadar! ||||| Mission Start |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||| *** Destroy the first Generator *** ARTANIS Executor, with the power generator destroyed, the missile turrets on this platform are no longer operational.

"RETURN TO CHAR" ] [------------------------------------------------------------------------------] [ Protoss fleet, high orbit over the planet Char ] [------------------------------------------------------------------------------] ||||| Mission Briefing ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||| Objectives : - Retrieve the Khalis crystal with a probe or drone - OR - - Do enough damage to the Overmind to send it into remission Artanis : Executor, the Uraj is secured and the UED has given up the chase. We are currently holding perimeter orbit over the planet Char. Zeratul, have you locked onto the location of the Khalis? Zeratul : Yes. I remember sensing its power the last time I was on this world. However, our sensors indicate a massive, fluctuating energy signature at its location. I am, however, unable to identify the signature's source. Kerrigan : That should be obvious, gentlemen; the source is the Overmind itself. When the Cerebrates merged together, they must have locked onto the Khalis' energies and nested near it. It's probable that there'll be a number of Broods protecting that area. It's risky, but if we can strike hard and fast, we might be able to fight our way through their defenses and escape with the crystal. Artanis : Comrades, I may have an alternative. Seeing as how the Overmind is still in its infant stages, I wonder if we might be able to disrupt its control over those Broods. If we can do enough superficial damage to the creature, it might pacify the Zerg nearest to it, allowing us some time to retrieve the Khalis. Zeratul : A bold plan, young Artanis. Your courage rivals that of mighty Tassadar himself. Artanis : You give me too much credit, noble Zeratul. I am not worthy enough to even speak 'His' name. Kerrigan : Touching. Look, boys, either of these plans will work, but let's not waste any time. I'll be able to exert limited control over a few of the Zerg here and provide you with some back-up. But the longer we stay, the more we risk losing both the crystals again. Artanis : Agreed. Executor, deploy your forces. May Adun be with you! ||||| Mission Start |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||| *** Bring a probe/drone to Khalis location, or damage the infant Overmind *** ARTANIS Executor, the Khalis is ours!

Your success has brought us the promise of hope against the Zerg. However, we face a new threat within our own ranks. In your absence, Judicator Aldaris and an entire legion of Khalai survivors from Aiur have begun an open revolt against us. Zeratul : By the gods, this is ill news indeed! Why would Aldaris betray us so? Raszagal : He and his ilk believe that it was wrong to have abandoned Aiur and consorted with our people. Their prejudices have driven them to perpetuate the Conclave's sins against us! Even now, Aldaris and his loyalist templar forces are preparing to attack our Citadel. Artanis : I can scarcely believe this. As if the Zerg were not enough! Matriarch, are you certain of this? Raszagal : All too certain, young templar. Executor, as Matriarch of the Dark Templar and custodian of this world, I hereby order you to terminate Judicator Aldaris, and quell this untimely uprising without delay! There will be no dissent among us while the Zerg are poised to strike! Zeratul : There is something amiss here. The Matriarch has always been a wise and gentle soul. Though there is some merit in her decision, this is very unlike her. Artanis : That may well be... But right now we have a friend to kill. May Adun forgive us. ||||| Mission Start |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||| *** Beginning of the mission *** ARTANIS Be advised, Executor, our forces are divided. Aldaris has taken control of our templar warriors and Arbiters. It is possible that he may even send Archons against us. ZERATUL Fear not, comrades, for we have Archons of our own! Should the dire need arise, all Dark Templar may merge to become Dark Archons. Though we sacrifice our warriors in doing so, only the might of the Dark Archons can match the forces of Aldaris. *** Kill false Aldaris *** ALDARIS You didn't think I'd be caught so easily did you, Executor? You have only destroyed a phantom. *** Kill (another) false Aldaris *** ALDARIS Yet again, Executor, you destroy only a simulacrum of myself! You believe me to be a traitor, but it is you and the Matriarch who will usher our race to oblivion! *** Kill the real Aldaris (finaly...) *** ZERATUL It is finished, Judicator. Surrender your remaining forces, and join us in eradicating the Zerg. ALDARIS I would sooner die, dark one, than tarnish the memory of Aiur by joining with you. Your fate was sealed the moment your Matriarch allied herself with the Queen of Blades! Those of us still loyal to Aiur will never be slaves to Kerrigan and her Broods. ARTANIS Aldaris, be reasonable! Kerrigan has changed. She no longer seeks to enslave everyone. Do not force us to destroy you. ALDARIS You can no longer afford to be so naive, Artanis.

You are no longer welcome among us! KERRIGAN Fine. I've done what I came here to do. I've insured the destruction of the renegade Cerebrates, and I used you to do it. Have fun, mighty Protoss...

Zeratul : Yes we did, Artanis. Yet our course is set nonetheless. Using the Temple's energies against the renegade Zerg may accomplish Kerrigan's aims, but it is still our only chance of survival. Raszagal : And survive we will, my warriors. For too long have we labored in futile defense as our enemies push us further and further away from victory. The time has come to let loose the full fury of our powers! Never again shal Shakuras be despoiled by the foul touch of alien species! These Zerg shall be the first to fall before us!

DuGalle : Captain, Vice Admiral Stukov has informed me of your flawless sortie upon Braxis. I must commend you for beginning our campaign with such a decisive victory. Our Tac Teams have decrypted the Dominion's datalink and have gained access to Mengsk's most guarded files. However, our work is not yet complete. We have ascertained the location of the Dylarian shipyards. These shipyards, serving as a fueling and repair station for the Dominion, house a number of functional Battlecruisers in dry-dock. To assure that our domination of this sector remains uncontested, you are to assault the shipyards and liberate as many of these capital ships as possible. Duran : Gentlemen, I recommend that you launch this attack using the utmost caution. Dominion Command can typically reinforce its outlying bases within sixteen standard hours. You should expect some sort of reprisal from Emperor Mengsk shortly. DuGalle : Ah, the turncoat. I suggest that you pay keen attention to rank when you address the Captain and myself, Lieutenant Duran. Is that understood? Duran : Of course, Admiral. Stukov : Heh heh. You're beginning to show your age, Gerard. Give the boy some credit. He just tipped us off to a preeminent attack. DuGalle : However useful he may prove to be, Alexei, he will always be a traitor in my eyes. And you know that I cannot abide a traitor. Stukov : Only too well, Gerard.

We have impressed most of the remaining Dylarian defense forces into the fleet and stand ready to move to the next phase of our invasion. Stukov : We've just received word from our research team that they've uncovered some kind of hidden weapons relay upon the planet Tarsonis. They report that it's called a Psi Disrupter, and that its purpose is somehow connected with the Zerg. Duran : Admiral, during the Zerg invasion of these colonies, the Confederacy had manufactured a number of portable machines called Psi Emitters which had the uncanny ability to lure Zerg to their signals. It was rumored that they had created a specialized emitter that could disrupt the Zerg's communications, but Emperor Mengsk was never able to find it. It appears that this Psi Disrupter is the machine he was looking for. I must humbly suggest to you, Admiral, that the Disrupter be destroyed as quickly as possible. If it should fall into the hands of the Dominion we could face some very serious problems. DuGalle : Hmm. A prudent call, Lieutenant. I am inclined to agree. Stukov : But Admiral, this device could insure our victory over the Zerg! It is foolhardy to discard such an advantage! Duran : Surely, Vice Admiral, you don't doubt the tenacity of your own fleet? Your Directorate forces will devastate the Zerg without the need for such a device. Stukov : Listen here, Lieutenant, I've had just about enough of your- DuGalle : This conversation is over, Alexei. Given the true nature of our mission to enslave the Overmind, we could hardly stand to have Mengsk control a device of this magnitude. This Psi Disrupter must be destroyed in order to safeguard our mission.

Vice Admiral Stukov has informed me that the Psi Disrupter has been accounted for, so we can now proceed with the next phase of our operation. The time has come to begin our primary invasion of the Dominion Throne-world of Korhal. Alexei, fill the Captain in on the current situation. Stukov : As you may know from your research, Captain, Korhal was a hotbed of anti-Confederate sentiment for years. The Confederacy hoped to contain Korhal's civil unrest by decimating it and its population with a massive nuclear barrage. Though the radiation levels on the planet are at an all time low, its surface is now nothing more than a smoldering desert. Duran : The catch, Admiral, is that because this world has already been devastated by nuclear fire, Mengsk has no compunction against using Nukes on us. We have detected a large cluster of missile silos on the outskirts of Augustgrad. If those silos were destroyed, we believe that Mengsk would lose his core nuclear capabilities. Stukov : We also face a different obstacle, Captain. Intelligence has informed us that Mengsk employs multiple battlecruisers for his planetary defense. It is possible to nulify these battlecruisers by taking out strategic physics labs. Without these labs, Mengsk will be unable to power-up his ships' weapons systems. DuGalle : Though we know how to compensate for Mengsk's defenses, we don't have enough time to follow through on them both. Therefore, Captain, you must choose to either counter his nuclear capabilities or his battlecruisers. Once you've taken care of this operation, we can begin to plan our final assault against Augustgrad. ||||| Mission Start |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||| *** Destroying the Physics Labs *** STUKOV Superbly done, Captain.

Although I've regained control of my forces here, it's taking more and more concentration just to keep them in line. Raynor : Aww... My heart's breaking for you, Kerrigan. Now exactly why was it that you asked Fenix and I to bring Mengsk to you? Kerrigan : Are you still suspicious that I'll kill him for abandoning me to the Zerg? I've gotten over it, Jim. We can't afford to let petty hatreds jeopardize our plans for the UED. Mengsk : That's reassuring. Kerrigan : Arcturus... I pressume you found your cold-sleep chamber... accommodating? Mengsk : What is the meaning of this, Kerrigan? Kerrigan : Straight to the point, huh? I was hoping to chat. It's been awhile. Mengsk : Not long enough. Why have I been brought here? Kerrigan : I need your Psi Emmiters, Arcturus. Mengsk : Why? Kerrigan : Remember the Confederate Psi Disrupter that you could never find? Well, the UED found it. And it's preventing me from controlling my minions. With the help of your Psi Emmiters, I can gather up enough Zerg to destroy the Disrupter and confront the UED. Mengsk : And what are you offering me in return? Kerrigan : Hah. Ever the politician. All right, 'Emperor', if you help me destroy the Disrupter, I'll help you retake Korhal from the UED. Mengsk : Hmm... a tempting offer. What assurances do I have of you fulfilling your end of the bargain? Kerrigan : The only thing I can assure you of, Arcturus, is that without my help, you'll be the Emperor of your own little eight by eight cell for thr rest of your life. Mengsk : I see that you're still a persuasive speaker. All right, Kerrigan. I'll lend you some Emitters, but this had better be worth it. ||||| Mission Start |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||| *** Beginning of the mission *** RAYNOR All right boys and girls, listen up! Our objective is to locate and disable the Psi Disrupter's primary power generator. Once we've done that, we'll turn the mission over to Mengsk and Kerrigan. Let's move out! GHOST I'm gone... MARINE Go! Go! Go! RAYNOR Kerrigan, the generator's off-line. You can send down the Psi Emitters at any time. KERRIGAN Good work, Jim. MENGSK The Psi Emitter will be carried by one of my SCV's. With the Disrupter's power cut, the Emitter should be able to get the attention of any renegade Zerg near it. The SCV will then be able to lure the Zerg back to your base. Once the Zerg arrive there, you'll be able to assert direct control over them. *** Acquire at least 1 Zerg Drone using the Psi Emmitter *** KERRIGAN Perfect! With these Zerg I can construct a new hive cluster! Once my forces have grown strong enough, I can assault the Psi Disrupter directly! *** Acquire Hunter Killer / Devouring One / Torrasque *** KERRIGAN Excellent work! Although these Zerg are now under my control, I sense that there are more Zerg out there. We must lure as many of them here as possible! *** Have acquired all remaining scattered renegade Zerg *** SCV Um, with all due respect to Miss Kerrigan sir. These critters make me nervous as hell.

Raynor : I know what you mean, Fenix. I'd love to believe that she's on the level, but there's a part of me that just knows better. However, I do believe that she's serious about taking out the UED. The only real question left is what happens to us when she wins. Mengsk : If you ask me, she's completely untrustworthy. But, so long as she'll help me retake Korhal, I'll work with her. Raynor : Shut up, Arcturus. If I wanted your damn opinion, I would've beaten it out of ya'. And in case you forgot, you're the reason she became what she is in the first place! Kerrigan : You boys should really learn to play nice with each other. Fenix : Kerrigan, are your forces ready to assault Korhal as we planned? Kerrigan : Nearly. I still need a substantial cache of resources in order to build up my primary hive clusters. I'm wondering if you gentlemen wouldn't mind going on a fuel raid for me? Raynor : It sounds like you've already got a plan. What are ya' thinkin'? Kerrigan : I'm thinking that we should pay the Kel-Morian Combine a little visit. Moria is one of the largest resource nodes in the sector. If you can bypass their defenses, and steal enough resources from them, we'll be able to afford a full-scale assault on Korhal. Raynor : It's risky, but I think we can handle it. Fenix, are you into this? Fenix : If it betters our chances, I will lead the assault myself. Raynor : Great. Let's get moving. Duran : Do you think they suspect anything, my Queen? Kerrigan : Of course. They aren't stupid, Duran. They're siding with the evil they know over the evil they don't... They simply don't yet realize what it will cost them. ||||| Mission Start |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||| *** Beginning of the mission *** KERRIGAN Cerebrate, I want you to infest as many Terran command centers as possible.

FENIX Don't let the fact that I am three hundred and sixty eight years older than you dull your impression of me, young Raynor. I can still... how do you Terrans say it... "Throw down with the best of them!" RAYNOR I stand corrected. *** Build a Hatchery *** KERRIGAN Remember, Cerebrate, we'll need at least ten thousand units of crystals to maintain the hive clusters.

I'll never underestimate the motivational effects of Terran greed again! *** Infest / Destroy another Command Center *** FENIX I prefer large scale battles over these covert missions.

Every moment we sit here means that the UED's defenses will be that much stronger! And I want nothing to stand between us and the retaking of my planet! Kerrigan : You're right, Arcturus. The time to strike the UED is now. But remember that we're up against one of the most heavily defended planets in the sector. Laying siege to Korhal won't be easy. Not only does the UED control a substantial standing army, but may have Zerg reinforcements as well. Raynor, you and Fenix will strike at the more outlying fortification, while my forces are busy assaulting the main UED base at Augustgrad. Mengsk : We've discussed this plan a hundred times!

Now that the UED's power base is broken on this world, only their forces on Char pose any significant threat to me. It's time to move to the second phase of my plan. Duran : And what of your allies here on Korhal, my Queen? What would you have done with them? Kerrigan : They are of no further use to me. Though they have proven themselves useful, it might be dangerous to allow them to live. Without the services of General Duke, Mengsk will be easy to deal with. But Raynor and Fenix are uncannily resourceful. They must all be eradicated. Cerebrate, I want both General Duke's and Fenix's bases destroyed. Leave no one alive. Duran : My Queen, if I may suggest a strategy? Both the Protoss and Terran forces are resting after our previous victory. If we attack immediately, while most of them are asleep and unaware, we can whittle down their defenses with relative ease! Kerrigan : Clever. How long after our initial attack can we expect them to regroup and retaliate? Duran : I'd say in 6 minutes. Kerrigan : That only gives us enough time to launch a surprise attack against one base. But it is a sound plan. Cerebrate, feel free to launch your initial attack against either base. Failure is not an option.

KERRIGAN: Continue your attack, Cerebrate. Their defenses won't last long against us. *** Encounter with Fenix *** FENIX: This is betrayal, most foul, Kerrigan! We were fools to have gone along with this charade! KERRIGAN: You're right, Fenix. I used you to get the job done, and you played along just like I knew you would. You Protoss are all so headstrong and predictable, you are your own worst enemies. FENIX: That's ironic. I can remember Tassadar teaching you a very similar lesson on Char. KERRIGAN: I took that lesson to heart, Praetor. Now, are you ready to die a second time? FENIX: The Khala awaits me, Kerrigan. And although I am prepared to face my destiny, you'll not find me easy prey! KERRIGAN: Then that shall be your epitaph. *** Kill Fenix *** RAYNOR: Fenix! No! KERRIGAN: What are you worried, Jim? He died the way all Protoss hope to: In combat! RAYNOR: He died because you betrayed him. How many noble souls do you need to consume before you're satisfied? How many more people need to die before you realize what you've become? KERRIGAN: You don't even know what you're talking about, Jim! RAYNOR: Don't I? I'll see you dead for this, Kerrigan. For Fenix and all the others who got caught between you and your mad quest for power! KERRIGAN: Tough talk, Jimmy. But I don't think you have what it takes to be a killer. RAYNOR: It may not be tomorrow,darlin'. It may not even happen with an army at my back. But rest assured: I'm the man who's going to kill you some day. I'll be seein' you. *** Encounter Duke *** DUKE: Well, well, well. If it isn't little Kerrigan. I had a feelin' we'd be meetin' each other again. You've got a lot to answer for, little girl. KERRIGAN: General Duke. You know I always wanted to have you killed. This is kind of exciting for me. DUKE: Do your worst then, girl. You ain't takin' Edmund Duke without a fight! *** Kill Duke *** MENGSK: Kerrigan, you murdering bitch! We had a deal! KERRIGAN: Oh, come on, Arcturus. Did you really think I'd allow you to come into power again? You practically fed me to the Zerg on Tarsonis! You're directly responsible for the hell I've been through! Did you honestly think I'd let you get away with that? MENGSK: But you said revenge was secondary to defeating the UED! KERRIGAN: I lied. I liberated this planet because it was the UED's primary staging point, not because I was under any obligation to you. I used you to destroy the Psi Disrupter. And now that I've got my Broods back, you're no longer necessary for my plans. I think I'll leave you here, Arcturus, among the ashes of your precious Dominion.

Duran : The Protoss outpost of Talematros is built upon a large mesa and is essentially impregnable to ground attacks. However, Talematros is fueled and supported by a number of adjacent pylon clusters. I believe that if we can cause a surge within those pylon clusters, we can cause Talematros' power grids to overload. The resulting explosion will be the perfect cover for retrieving the Matriarch.
