&bold(){&color(#00bfff){Adjutant: }The armory console allows you to purchase upgrades for your units. Each mission you complete will provide funds and access to new units.}
&bold(){&color(#00bfff){Adjutant: }Upgrades purchased via the armory console are permanent improvements and do not need to be bought again or researched on the battlefield.}
&bold(){&color(#00bfff){Adjutant: }Sometimes new units will be made available for purchase via the armory console. If you purchase a new unit it will be permanently added to your inventory so that you can build it during missions.}

*CharTychus :Conversation
-After TValerian01
#Opening set up - Tychus is at the barricade blazing away at zerg and reloading, Warfield is by the laptop set-up, his arm is injured and he's in pain. The dropship is in the background with its engines idling, and there are more marines along the trench line blazing away. Mutalisks, Banshees and dropships fly overhead every half a minute or so. We can half-see zerg charging the trench line beyond the marines
&bold(){&color(#9acd32){Tychus: }(yelling) Lock and load, Jimmy-boy! (BLAM! BLAM!) These blasted critters just keep comin'! (BLAM! BLAM! BLAM!) What we got here's the biggest turkey shoot in the galaxy!}
&bold(){&color(#7fffd4){Raynor: }Hate to spoil all your fun, Tychus - (BLAM! BLAM!) but we gotta start pushing toward the primary hive cluster, pronto!}
&bold(){&color(#9acd32){Tychus: }That's a tall order, ol' buddy! 'Tween them Nydus worms on the ground and that swarm of fliers overhead, we ain't in no position to push against anything!}
&bold(){&color(#7fffd4){Raynor: }Yer' always an inspiration, Tychus.}
-After TValerian02A/B
#This applies after both missions so it needs a custon condition.
&bold(){&color(#7fffd4){Raynor: }Final push. You ready for this?}
&bold(){&color(#9acd32){Tychus: }That I am, partner. Hell, we're gonna be the guys that kill the Queen of Blades! Genuine heroes! Ol' Mengsk might even give you a pardon!}
&bold(){&color(#7fffd4){Raynor: }(threatening) Get one thing straight, Tychus - if Valerian's right and this artifact can turn Kerrigan human again, I'm taking her away from this place. You hear what I'm sayin'?}
&bold(){&color(#9acd32){Tychus: }I hear ya', Jimmy and I know you wanna' believe she can come back. But after all the misery she's caused... well, let's just say... some folks don't deserve second chances.}
&bold(){&color(#7fffd4){Raynor: }I'll be the judge of that.}
*CharWarfield :Conversation
-After TValerian01
&bold(){&color(#7fffd4){Raynor: }How're you holdin' up, General?}
&bold(){Warfield: [Angry]Ahh....Damn poison. I told those pansy-ass medics to lop off my arm so I could get back to the front. [/Angry]Even so, I'm in pretty bad shape. I've decided to hand over all command to you.}
&bold(){&color(#7fffd4){Raynor: }I understand. I know that ain't easy for you.}
&bold(){Warfield: [Happy]Easy? (chuckles) Son... I'm getting' off easy compared to what you got ahead of you. [/Happy]To reach the main hive, you'll have to choose... between taking out their ground reinforcements or their air support. There ain't time for both...}
&bold(){&color(#7fffd4){Raynor: }Don't worry, General. I'll deal with the zerg. First chance you get, head back to the ship and get patched up. That's an order.}
-After TValerian02
&bold(){Warfield: All these years, Mengsk made you out to be the devil himself. But I've seen you put it on the line for men who'd otherwise be hunting you down.}
&bold(){&color(#7fffd4){Raynor: }Your Emperor's the one 'should be brought to justice. All I ever wanted was for folks to live free.}
&bold(){Warfield: Charging into battle with a stranger - taking enemy fire, holding the line shoulder to shoulder - that's the great equalizer of war. It's an honor to fight at your side.}
&bold(){&color(#7fffd4){Raynor: }I sure do appreciate that, General.}

&bold(){&color(#7fffd4){Raynor: }Have to admit, we always did make a good team.}

-After THanson02
#Hanson and Horner are on the bridge.
&bold(){&color(#7fffd4){Raynor: }Well Ariel, found a world for your people yet?}
&bold(){&color(#ff00ff){Hanson: }Yes! An unclaimed planet called Haven. It's near the edge of protoss space, but it seems safe enough.}
&bold(){&color(#7fffd4){Raynor: }It'll have to do. Your people need to lay low for a while.}
&bold(){&color(#4169e1){Horner: }Aren't either of you worried the colonists might be infested?}
&bold(){&color(#ff00ff){Hanson: }How could you even suggest that? They're perfectly healthy!}
&bold(){&color(#7fffd4){Raynor: }I hope so, Ariel. The protoss don't mess around when it comes to infestation. Just in case, maybe you should start looking into some kind of cure for the zerg virus.}
&bold(){&color(#ff00ff){Hanson: }Conventional wisdom says a cure is impossible -- the virus mutates too fast. But I'll look into it.}
&bold(){&color(#7fffd4){Raynor: }Just do what you can. That's all anyone's askin'.}
-After Tychus01
#This scene happens after T15 Kerrigan Intro
#CUT TO: Bridge
#Horner Enters. Raynor is there.
&bold(){&color(#4169e1){Horner: }I caught Tychus hacking into our database, sniffing around about Kerrigan. I don't know what his game is, but we clearly can't trust him.}
&bold(){&color(#7fffd4){Raynor: }Matt, me an' Tychus ran together a long time -- got into all sorts of trouble. When the law finally caught up, he took the rap for both of us. Never once ratted me out. (beat) I got a second chance, he got locked up.}
&bold(){&color(#4169e1){Horner: }I understand your loyalty, sir, but ---}
&bold(){&color(#7fffd4){Raynor: }I owe him, Matt. Leave it be.}
&bold(){&color(#4169e1){Horner: }Yes Sir.}
-After TTosh01
&bold(){&color(#4169e1){Horner: }Nice work, sir. The payoff from Redstone really got us back on our feet.}
#Raynor looks over at Tosh, and then turns his back on him while he continues to talk with Horner.
&bold(){&color(#7fffd4){Raynor: }Why is that Tosh guy aboard?}
&bold(){&color(#4169e1){Horner: }He wanted to talk to you in person, sir. Something about conducting more 'business ventures' together.}
&bold(){&color(#7fffd4){Raynor: }You do any diggin' on him?}
&bold(){&color(#4169e1){Horner: }Of course, and he's no pirate. Rumor has it he's a renegade Ghost - and until he vanished he was one of the Dominion's top assassins.}
&bold(){&color(#4169e1){Horner: }Now Mengsk hates him almost as much as he hates you.}
&bold(){&color(#7fffd4){Raynor: }Well, I like this guy already. Just the same, we'd best keep an eye on him.}
&bold(){&color(#4169e1){Horner: }Yes Sir.}
-After TTosh03B
&bold(){&color(#4169e1){Horner: }Nova transmitted the Ghost training specs to us sir. We should be able to field our own Ghosts now.}
&bold(){&color(#7fffd4){Raynor: }If Mengsk finds out, she's gonna have some explainin' to do.}
&bold(){&color(#4169e1){Horner: }I think she can cover her tracks. That's what Ghosts do, right?}
&bold(){&color(#7fffd4){Raynor: }That, and cut people's throats.}
&bold(){&color(#4169e1){Horner: }Right.}
-After THanson01
#Horner and Hanson start close together as if talking at the beginning of this scene.
&bold(){&color(#4169e1){Horner: }Great job, sir. Dr. Hanson's offered to stay on with us for now and I think her skills will be invaluable.}
&bold(){&color(#ff00ff){Hanson: }It's hard to believe I'm even here.}
&bold(){&color(#7fffd4){Raynor: }Great to have ya', Doc. How you plannin' on pitchin' in?}
&bold(){&color(#ff00ff){Hanson: }Well, your medical facilities are medieval and your science expertise is non-existent. Perhaps I could start there?}
&bold(){&color(#7fffd4){Raynor: }[Sad 90]Ouch.[/Sad] Well I guess you might be able to teach Stetmann a thing or two. Welcome aboard, Doc.}
-After TTosh02
#Raynor enters the bridge. Horner and Tosh are there.
&bold(){&color(#4169e1){Horner: }Sir, I received an encrypted transmission from an untraceable source. It claims that Tosh here was part of a classified operation called Project: Shadowblade. They used jorium and terrazine to enhance ghost powers.}
&bold(){Tosh: It's true. We are called Spectres -- next generation Ghosts.}
&bold(){&color(#7fffd4){Raynor: }And you were gonna tell me all this when?}
&bold(){Tosh: We all have our secrets, Mr. Raynor. Doesn't mean I'm any threat to you.}
&bold(){&color(#7fffd4){Raynor: }[Angry 50]Maybe not -- but whoever sent this message could be.[/Angry] Matt, any way to verify the transmission?}
&bold(){&color(#4169e1){Horner: }No sir. But it does end with "I'll be in touch soon."}
&bold(){Tosh: It's Mengsk - trying to turn us against each other. Don't let him.}
&bold(){&color(#7fffd4){Raynor: }I'll let it lie for now -- at least 'til I find out who sent this transmission. But I'll be keeping an eye on you, Tosh.}
&bold(){Tosh: You can try.}
-After THorner02
#Debrief starts on the bridge.
&bold(){&color(#4169e1){Horner: }Sir, the decrypted adjutant is back in the lab, and ready to go.}
-After TRaynor03
&bold(){&color(#4169e1){Horner: }There's no telling what the zerg will throw against us this time. Sir, we need to make sure our hardware and munitions are up to the challenge.}
&bold(){&color(#7fffd4){Raynor: }Yeah, I'll check in with Swann down in the armory. Knowin' him, he's already got upgrades for us.}
&bold(){&color(#4169e1){Horner: }I hate to ask, sir -- but is there a reason that convict's still on my bridge?}
&bold(){&color(#7fffd4){Raynor: }Easy, Matt. Tychus is one of my oldest friends. He helped me out of a real bind a few years back. I owe him.}
&bold(){&color(#4169e1){Horner: }Well your friend has a criminal record as long as...}
&bold(){&color(#7fffd4){Raynor: }Mine? Believe me, if Tychus Findlay wanted me dead, I'd be dead already.}
&bold(){&color(#4169e1){Horner: }(Not liking it) Understood, sir.}
-After Tychus04 in the Lab
#This scene happens after T06 Valerian Intro
&bold(){Valerian: The artifact fragments you've been collecting are of Xel'Naga origin. With them, I can construct a device that will reverse the infestation that transformed Kerrigan into the Queen of Blades.}
&bold(){&color(#7fffd4){Raynor: }Even if that were possible, she holes up in the main hive cluster on Char - protected by a billion screaming zerg. How're you going to get that thing anywhere near her?}
&bold(){Valerian: You're the only man who's been close to her and lived to tell the tale. You know her tactics, you know her strategies - and I know you'd risk anything for the chance to bring her back.}
-After TValerian01
#This scene takes place if the player goes back to the Hyperion after TValerian01. Valerian is on the communicator.
&bold(){&color(#4169e1){Horner: }Welcome back, sir. Glad you're still alive. Prince Valerian's been trying to contact you. You can reach him over the communicator.}
-After THorner01
#Debrief starts on the Bridge
&bold(){&color(#4169e1){Horner: }Sir, that adjutant we recovered is down in the lab. She's all powered up.}
-After TZeratul04
&bold(){Zeratul: Friend Raynor, you now bear witness... to the truth. There is a malevolent presence within the Void that seeks to destroy everything we hold dear. Could this... Fallen One be a Xel'Naga? After so long... could the gods themselves seek our destruction?}
&bold(){Zeratul: And Kerrigan... I can hardly believe -- the wretched Queen of Blades will prevent the destruction of all that we know...}
&bold(){Zeratul: Raynor, you may soon hold Kerrigan's fate in your hands. I know only that she must live. Be wary, old friend... the hounds of the Void... are on the hunt.}
-After THorner05S (If TZeratul02 has been played)
&bold(){&color(#7fffd4){Raynor: }That thing down there, it...It was like the hybrid Zeratul fought.}
&bold(){&color(#4169e1){Horner: }Here? But how?}
&bold(){&color(#7fffd4){Raynor: }(ranting) Mengsk! It's always Mengsk! The end of the universe is coming and I should have known he'd be behind it!}
&bold(){&color(#4169e1){Horner: }But how did he hybridize zerg and protoss? The technology required is way beyond anything terrans have developed. He can't be working alone on this...}
-After THorner05 S (If TZeratul02 hasn't been played)
&bold(){&color(#7fffd4){Raynor: }What the hell is Mengsk playing at?}
&bold(){&color(#4169e1){Horner: }Creating his own alien super-soldiers by the looks of it. He's found a way to hybridize zerg and protoss somehow.}
&bold(){&color(#7fffd4){Raynor: }Don't look like he's house-broken 'em yet. Least the lab's been trashed.}
&bold(){&color(#4169e1){Horner: }Yeah, but it was only one lab. Who's to say how many more he's set up?}
-After Tychus 04, on the Bridge
#TIME HAS PASSED. Raynor now back in his civvies.
#We fade back in as Raynor walks onto the bridge. Horner and Tychus are uneasy...
&bold(){&color(#4169e1){Horner: }Sir, tell me you're not seriously considering this deal with Valerian!}
&bold(){&color(#9acd32){Tychus: }Sounds like a golden deal to me, Jimmy. Kerrigan turns human, takes a bullet between the eyes... You can put your past to rest and still make one hell of a payday!}
#Raynor looks at him threateningly --
&bold(){&color(#7fffd4){Raynor: }Let's not get ahead of ourselves, Tychus...}
&bold(){&color(#4169e1){Horner: }Assaulting Char is a suicide mission! You'd be putting all our lives on the line just to get your girlfriend back!}
&bold(){&color(#7fffd4){Raynor: }This is bigger than all of us, Matt! It ain't about me. This is the only real chance we're ever gonna' get. And I'm takin' it.}
&bold(){&color(#9acd32){Tychus: }So which is it gonna be, Jimmy? We bringin' Kerrigan back... or puttin' her in the ground?}
&bold(){&color(#7fffd4){Raynor: }That's for me to decide. (beat) You've both got a lot of prep work to do -- get to it!}

-Intro cinematic
#Raynor and Horner are standing in front of the holoscreen as it pans across Avernus station, Nova's portrait is to one side of the main picture.
&bold(){&color(#7fffd4){Raynor: }So this is where Tosh plans on building his Spectre army.}
&bold(){Nova: I've identified three facilities that are vital to his operation.}
#Camera zooms into the screen for the gameplay footage. Footage shows surveillance of various parts of the platforms, possibly with Nova looking down from cliffs. Would be awesome if we could show a 3-way split screen with all 3 targets on screen. If we go sequentially the first two targets should be moved into the bottom left and right POIs after they have been identified.
#Screen shows Jorium stockpile
&bold(){Nova: Our first target will be the Jorium stockpile...}
#Screen shows the Terrazine tanks, an image of the Jorium stockpile appears in the bottom left POI
&bold(){Nova: Next will be the Terrazine tanks...}
#Screen shows the Psi indoctrinator, an image of the Terrazine tank appears in the bottom right POI.
&bold(){Nova: And finally the psionic waveform indoctrinator Tosh uses to complete the Spectres' activation process.}
#Cut back to Raynor
&bold(){&color(#7fffd4){Raynor: }Alright, so we destroy all three of those targets and Tosh is out of business.}
#Screen shows some defenses, guards etc.
&bold(){Nova: Tosh knows every trick in the book when it comes to infiltration. I can penetrate most of his defenses, but I'll need your backup to get through them all.}
&bold(){&color(#7fffd4){Raynor: }And what about Tosh?}
&bold(){Nova: Just leave him to me.}
#--- Focus on the starting area as Nova nukes it. Guys hop out of bunkers and run but don't make it.
&bold(){Nova: I've cleared a landing zone for your forces.}
&bold(){Nova: Let's get this party started.}

&bold(){&color(#9acd32){Tychus: }There it is, Jimmy, just like Moebius said. Easy money.}
&bold(){&color(#7fffd4){Raynor: }I don't know. There's a lot of protoss down there. We're gonna have to - what the?}
#Multiple signals wink on the map as emergency sirens are heard. The zerg are swarming!

#Camera continues to track the zerg as they rush towards the shrine - engaging protoss along the way.
&bold(){&color(#9acd32){Tychus: }Them critters were just hiding underground, waitin'?}
&bold(){&color(#7fffd4){Raynor: }No idea. But you can bet they're headed straight for our shrine!}
#Camera cuts back to Raynor and Tychus.
&bold(){&color(#9acd32){Tychus: }Well, that sure complicates things. We can't fight two armies at once, partner...}
#Close on Raynor.
&bold(){&color(#7fffd4){Raynor: }With any luck we won't have to.}
#Camera cuts back to the map as we scroll across...
&bold(){&color(#7fffd4){Raynor: }We only need to hold the area at the top of the shrine long enough to extract the artifact.}
&bold(){&color(#7fffd4){Raynor: }So we'll land here and cut our way through the protoss lines while they're busy with the zerg.}
&bold(){&color(#7fffd4){Raynor: }It's only a matter of time before the zerg overwhelm the protoss. We'd best grab the artifact and be long gone by then.}

&bold(){&color(#7fffd4){Raynor: }What's the catch?}
#--- Camera cuts to the map level where we see the seismic event happening as Tosh talks.
&bold(){Tosh: Well, this place is a little...unstable. The low ground gets flooded with lava every few minutes.}
&bold(){Tosh: Of course that's where the richest mineral nodes are found. But that'll be no problem for a big tough guy like you.}
#--- As the lava recedes, we see the rich crystal patches. We get an inset little vid of an SCV mining in the right hand POI.

&bold(){&color(#4169e1){Horner: }Sir, I'm also picking up zerg bio-signatures on the surface.}
&bold(){&color(#4169e1){Horner: }We'll need to spend some of what we mine just to defend the operation. The more we spend, the longer this is gonna take.}

&bold(){&color(#7fffd4){Raynor: }Tell me about it! They've learned some new tricks since the last time we fought.}
&bold(){&color(#b22222){Swann: }I mean c'mon, since when could they warp in guys just anywhere? I thought they needed some kinda gateway at least!}
&bold(){&color(#7fffd4){Raynor: }Not just anywhere, they need a pylon or another power source close by. Still, they've been working to improve their tech just like us.}
-After TTosh03A
&bold(){&color(#b22222){Swann: }That Tosh character gave me the data for buildin' more Spectre gear. You sure we can trust that guy? I heard he was into brainwashing or something.}
&bold(){&color(#7fffd4){Raynor: }Tosh can only recruit volunteers to become Spectres. That's the deal. He works 'em hard so they won't go off the rails when they get their full Spectre powers. No brainwashing involved.}
&bold(){&color(#b22222){Swann: }[Happy 50]Good to know. Wouldn't want any of those freaks running loose causin' trouble. [/Happy]Aside from Tosh, that is.}
-After TTosh03B
&bold(){&color(#7fffd4){Raynor: }Nova promised us access to Ghost technology for helping her. She come through with it yet?}
&bold(){&color(#b22222){Swann: }Your girl came through, alright. I got a few new upgrades we're workin' on too.}
&bold(){&color(#7fffd4){Raynor: }She ain't 'my girl', Swann.}

&bold(){&color(#7fffd4){Raynor: }Careful now, Swann. My old Vulture saved my skin more times than I care to remember. I ain't gonna listen to you trash talk a classic piece of engineering like that.}
&bold(){&color(#b22222){Swann: }Classic?! I suppose you could call 'em that. 'Course most folks like a bike that don't explode on them when the repeller seals freeze up, or the fuel cells start leaking radioactive waste - [Happy 70]but hey, who cares if it's a 'classic', right?[/Happy]}
&bold(){&color(#7fffd4){Raynor: }No one likes a smart-ass, Swann.}

&bold(){&color(#b22222){Swann: }[Surprise 70] You nuts? [/Surprise]No way we got the facilities for mass-producing hardware on that scale.}
&bold(){&color(#7fffd4){Raynor: }And here I was thinking you could build anything, Swann.}
&bold(){&color(#b22222){Swann: }Cute. Alright - forget the scale! I'm gonna figure it out, don't you worry. An' I'll come up with something a damn sight more practical than that show piece. You see if I don't!}
-After THanson03A

&bold(){&color(#7fffd4){Raynor: }I'd be more impressed if they were using all that power against the zerg. It's stupid to be killing protoss when we should be teaming up with them against Kerrigan.}
&bold(){&color(#b22222){Swann: }Listen - they deserved it, and you did the right thing. Friends don't let friends massacre civilians, Jim. I'm proud of you for standing up to 'em.}
-After THanson03B

&bold(){&color(#b22222){Swann: }Honest? No. And you got your head up your ass if you think any different.}
&bold(){&color(#7fffd4){Raynor: }There had to be a better answer, though. Maybe if we caught it earlier...}
&bold(){&color(#b22222){Swann: }Look, if the protoss with all their tech, psionics and big freakin' alien brains couldn't do anything for them - there ain't nothing we could a' done. Sometimes life's just rough that way.}

&bold(){&color(#7fffd4){Raynor: }Yessir... the comforting thunder of the big guns. Well, comforting when they're on our side.}
&bold(){&color(#b22222){Swann: }Yeah these newer tanks have better guns when they're on the move, and reinforced armor.}
&bold(){&color(#7fffd4){Raynor: }So long as they've still got the range in siege mode, the rest is just gravy. Between siege tanks and bunkers, we can hold the line against just about anythin'.}

&bold(){&color(#b22222){Swann: }Got some work to do on the chassis still, but I got to thinkin' about upgrades and variants, y'know? They ain't gonna be cheap, cowboy. Big honkin' thing like that never is. But they'll be worth it, you'll see.}

#Raynor, Tychus and Warfield are at the control point on the Char set. Warfield is hunched over the console - studying the battle schematics. Troops are firing at zerg in the distance.
&bold(){Warfield: The engineer corps is moving the Xel'Naga artifact to the base of the primary hive cluster. We'll entrench the last of our defenses all around it.}
&bold(){Warfield: Unfortunately, it's going to take some time to charge up the device for a strike against the Queen of Blades.}
#Camera cuts to Tychus.
&bold(){&color(#9acd32){Tychus: }You can bet the zerg'll be all over it the second we turn it on.}
#Camera cuts to Warfield:
&bold(){Warfield: You're more right than you realize}
#Camera cuts to the battlefield/map view.
&bold(){Warfield: Intel provided by the Moebius Foundation suggests that the zerg will be attracted by the artifact's pulse-emanations.}
#We see the artifact get 'activated' - as zerg start racing towards it from off-screen.
&bold(){Warfield: Once it's activated, all nearby zerg will go into a frenzy trying to reach it.}
#As they (we) watch the defenders fight the zerg - Raynor pipes in.
&bold(){&color(#7fffd4){Raynor: }There's no way we can beat a sustained zerg attack with what we've got left.}
&bold(){Warfield: The artifact itself may help with that. According to intel it can discharge what they're calling an 'energy nova' that should kill any zerg within its radius.}
#Show the energy nova go off and devastate the zerg.
&bold(){&color(#7fffd4){Raynor: }(impressed) Whoa!}
&bold(){Warfield: It takes time to recharge after each use, otherwise this'd be easy.}
&bold(){Warfield: You'll have to activate the energy nova manually. Fortunately, it pulses on a sub-sonic frequency, so we'll be immune to its effects.}
&bold(){&color(#7fffd4){Raynor: }Recharge or no I'll take all the help we can get right now, General.}
#The camera cuts ominously towards the evil looming hive cluster...
&bold(){&color(#7fffd4){Raynor: }Remember - Kerrigan's still out there waiting for us.}

&bold(){Warfield: You magnificent son of a bitch! You're the last man I expected to see!}
&bold(){&color(#9acd32){Tychus: }Boys...I hate to interrupt but...the natives are gettin' restless.}
&bold(){Warfield: Thanks for the rescue...But I hope it ain't just the two of you...}
&bold(){&color(#7fffd4){Raynor: }General. You know I've always got a card to play.}
&bold(){Warfield: Grah.}
&bold(){Warfield: You might be a damn pirate, Raynor, but whatever happens you saved my boys today and I won't forget that.}

*MarSaraTychus :Conversation
-After TRaynor02
&bold(){&color(#7fffd4){Raynor: }So who's your mysterious buyer, Tychus? Who're we supposed to hand this artifact over to?}
&bold(){&color(#9acd32){Tychus: }A bunch of eggheads I ran into called the Moebius Foundation.}
&bold(){&color(#7fffd4){Raynor: }Moebius? They're a legitimate research group. Why the hell are they talkin' to you?}
&bold(){&color(#9acd32){Tychus: }Soon as yer boy Mengsk made it illegal to trade in alien goods, they got desperate. [Happy] And you know me, Jimmy - I am a great patron of the sciences.[/Happy]}
-After TRaynor01
&bold(){&color(#7fffd4){Raynor: }Call me curious, but how'd you get out?}
&bold(){&color(#9acd32){Tychus: }Well, I busted out of my cryo-freezer while they were transporting me to New Folsom. Oh, I musta' killed at least dozen guards with my bare hands...}
&bold(){&color(#7fffd4){Raynor: }Yeah, I've heard this one before! But you left out the part where you walked on water, made off with the Warden's daughter!}
&bold(){&color(#9acd32){Tychus: }Don't you get uppity with me, boy. I heard all about you becoming a big time freedom fighter while I was away! What happened, Jimmy - the war for truth and justice get too much for ya?}
&bold(){&color(#7fffd4){Raynor: }I ain't licked yet, Tychus. And I promise you - Mengsk is goin' down one way or another.}
*BridgeHanson :Conversation
-After THanson02 --
&bold(){&color(#ff00ff){Hanson: }I'm working on a cure for the zerg virus. I just hope my people won't need it.}
-After THanson01
&bold(){&color(#ff00ff){Hanson: }I've heard a lot about you, Commander. The Dominion always portrayed you as a criminal - a terrorist. There's more to you than it seems.}
&bold(){&color(#7fffd4){Raynor: }Well, with the Dominion bein' what it is - someone's got to stand up for the little guy. It sure ain't goin' to be Mengsk.}
&bold(){&color(#ff00ff){Hanson: }[Sad 50]Doesn't seem like the Emperor cares at all.[/Sad] My people from Agria, and displaced populations from across the sector, have all fled to a refugee staging area on Meinhoff.}
&bold(){&color(#ff00ff){Hanson: }There are reports of violence and disease spreading throughout the camps, but the Emperor's done nothing!}
&bold(){&color(#7fffd4){Raynor: }I'll look into it, Doc.}
*LabHanson :Conversation
-After TTosh02
&bold(){&color(#ff00ff){Hanson: }I've run a few tests on the terrazine gas like you asked. It's clearly related to vespene gas, but there are some very exotic organics added into the mix.}
&bold(){&color(#7fffd4){Raynor: }Any guesses what it's used for?}
&bold(){&color(#ff00ff){Hanson: }Well it would definitely affect brain chemistry, so it could be used as some kind of a drug or stimulant I suppose.}
&bold(){&color(#7fffd4){Raynor: }Drugs, huh? That's just wonderful.}
-After TTosh01
&bold(){&color(#ff00ff){Hanson: }Just out of curiosity, I did some tests on the minerals from Redstone. I thought you should know - I found trace quantities of jorium, a rare crystal with very unique properties.}
&bold(){&color(#7fffd4){Raynor: }I'm all ears, Doc. What kind of properties?}
&bold(){&color(#ff00ff){Hanson: }Jorium resonates at the same frequency as certain brain waves. It's been theorized that it could be used to stimulate brain activity or even produce psionic abilities in human subjects.}
&bold(){&color(#7fffd4){Raynor: }What the hell does Tosh want that for?}
-After TTychus02
&bold(){&color(#ff00ff){Hanson: }I see we have a new acquisition. Is it a protoss device?}
&bold(){&color(#7fffd4){Raynor: }That's right, but I wouldn't mess with it if I were you. It's a Khaydarin 'Ihan' crystal. It's a memory storage device - lets you experience what other people have seen or done.}
&bold(){&color(#7fffd4){Raynor: }They can be dangerous if you don't know what you're doin'.}
&bold(){&color(#ff00ff){Hanson: }[Surprise 70]Yet you don't fear it at all.[/Surprise] You're a fascinating man, Jim Raynor. You know more about the protoss and the zerg than any of the experts I've read about.}
-After THorner01
&bold(){&color(#ff00ff){Hanson: }Jim, let me in. What really happened on Tarsonis? Whatever it was, I can see it tearing you up inside.}
&bold(){&color(#7fffd4){Raynor: }(bitter) Tarsonis... that's where it all went down. Mengsk stole a psi-emitter from the Confederacy and planted it there. He knew that it'd attract the zerg and...}
&bold(){&color(#7fffd4){Raynor: }(sighs) Our revolution began that day - the day Mengsk murdered a whole planet and called it justice.}
&bold(){&color(#ff00ff){Hanson: }My God. Billions of innocent people. That's...that's just...monstrous. No wonder you hate him so much.}
-After TTosh03A
&bold(){&color(#ff00ff){Hanson: }Jim, I've been investigating the claims that Nova made about Spectres turning into psychotic killers.}
&bold(){&color(#7fffd4){Raynor: }So what did you find out?}
&bold(){&color(#ff00ff){Hanson: }Honestly, there's no evidence that Spectres are any more prone to aberrant behavior than ordinary people.}
&bold(){&color(#ff00ff){Hanson: }A sudden increase in psionic ability could induce a psychotic break, but Spectres aren't the monsters we were led to believe. Nova lied to us.}
-After TTychus04
&bold(){&color(#ff00ff){Hanson: }Jim, I hear that we're working for the Dominion now. Is that true?}
&bold(){&color(#7fffd4){Raynor: }We've got a chance to take on Kerrigan and maybe, just maybe, set things right. The devil himself could offer me that deal and I'd still take it.}
&bold(){&color(#ff00ff){Hanson: }[Sad 70]That's what worries me. [/Sad]Just don't lose sight of who you are - that's what's important. A lot of people are counting on you and... I'm one of 'em.}
-After THorner02
&bold(){&color(#ff00ff){Hanson: }I can't believe it. That recording proves it's all true; Mengsk, Tarsonis, all of it... What will you do now?}
&bold(){&color(#7fffd4){Raynor: }Tell the people. Every man, woman and child in the Dominion needs to know what their beloved Emperor is capable of.}
&bold(){&color(#ff00ff){Hanson: }The backlash will be awful. There'll be riots and uprisings everywhere... But that's just what you want, isn't it?}
&bold(){&color(#7fffd4){Raynor: }It's a start.}
-After TTychus03
&bold(){&color(#7fffd4){Raynor: }'Lot of rumors goin' around. I'm guessin' you've heard plenty about me and Kerrigan by now...}
&bold(){&color(#ff00ff){Hanson: }Are the stories true? That Mengsk just... abandoned her to the zerg on Tarsonis?}
&bold(){&color(#7fffd4){Raynor: }Her...plus a few billion innocent civilians. After that we knew exactly what kind of man we'd been dealing with.}
&bold(){&color(#7fffd4){Raynor: }I don't care about much of anything anymore, but the one thing I hold onto is seeing Mengsk brought to justice before I die.}
-After TZeratul01
&bold(){&color(#7fffd4){Raynor: }I'm ok, Doc, before you start asking.}
&bold(){&color(#ff00ff){Hanson: }You were staring at that protoss device for a very long time.[Sad 70] Are you sure?[/Sad]}
&bold(){&color(#7fffd4){Raynor: }(spooked) Well, now you mention it I could use a drink or two. Maybe what I saw'd make more sense if I was drunk.}
&bold(){&color(#ff00ff){Hanson: }(concerned) What was it, Jim?}
&bold(){&color(#7fffd4){Raynor: }An old friend of mine...looking for the end of the world.}
-After TTychus01
&bold(){&color(#ff00ff){Hanson: }That zerg woman seemed to know you. She really rattled you didn't she?}
&bold(){&color(#7fffd4){Raynor: }Me and her... well, we go back a ways. She was a Ghost, once. Back then we were hooked up with Mengsk and fighting to get rid of the old Confederacy. (beat) We made a pretty good team.}
&bold(){&color(#ff00ff){Hanson: }What happened to her?}
&bold(){&color(#7fffd4){Raynor: }She was a casualty of war. No offense, Doc, but I really don't like to talk about it.}
&bold(){&color(#ff00ff){Hanson: }I understand. If you ever change your mind - I'm here.}
*CantinaTosh :Conversation
-After TTosh03A
&bold(){&color(#7fffd4){Raynor: }I took a big chance with you and your Spectres, Tosh. I hope Nova wasn't right about you.}
&bold(){Tosh: Don't go believing that little girl's lies. The Spectre procedure affects everyone differently, but we're all still human.}
&bold(){Tosh: It's our choice whether to become Spectres - not hers, not yours and not Mengsk's. Choice be the only true freedom anyone gets.}
&bold(){&color(#7fffd4){Raynor: }But can I trust them? Can I trust you?}
&bold(){Tosh: Don't you worry none. We'll fight for you right to the end. All my brothers and sisters - we owe you everything.}
-After THanson03B
&bold(){Tosh: I heard about what went down in the lab. Pity that. But don't let yourself get distracted from what has to be done.}
&bold(){Tosh: Take my advice - keep it simple. No attachments, no strings. Just you against the universe.}
&bold(){&color(#7fffd4){Raynor: }Sometimes I feel like anything I start caring about... just gets destroyed.}
&bold(){Tosh: Not your fault. Did you ever stop and think what'd happen if all those refugees from Agria had gone to the core worlds? That Hanson was a honey trap right from the start.}
-After TTychus03
&bold(){Tosh: (Chuckles) He's a bad, bad man that Tychus. He got a lot to hide.}
&bold(){&color(#7fffd4){Raynor: }You think he's setting us up? His missions have been leading us straight to Kerrigan...}
&bold(){Tosh: Maybe you and Kerrigan keeping runnin' into each other because you both want the same thing? But Tychus - there's something else he don't want you to know.}
&bold(){Tosh: (beat) I can't see what. Just watch your back. Always remember that he's a force o' destruction that one... a stone killer.}
-After TTychus05
&bold(){Tosh: Ah, here's my man. How can I be helping you, Mr. Raynor?}
&bold(){&color(#7fffd4){Raynor: }You sit up here watching everything. Tell me what you see. Tychus just a mean drunk?}
&bold(){Tosh: I wish it was just that. All that jealousy and rage - he's fighting himself over something he don't want to do. You'll see.}
-After TTosh02
&bold(){Tosh: Still don't trust me, brother? Until you decide, ain't nothing to discuss.}
-After TTychus02

-After TZeratul01
&bold(){Tosh: Good to see ya', brotha'. I been - wait. I can see it in your eyes. You've seen into the spirit world... The protoss. He gave you ... a crystal! And now you've been seein' what he's seen.}
&bold(){&color(#7fffd4){Raynor: }That ain't nothing to do with you. Stay outta my head, Tosh!}
&bold(){Tosh: Have it your way. But you want to tread careful when you go lookin' into the beyond. If you need me, you know where I be.}
-After TZeratul02
&bold(){Tosh: You look spooked. You've been seein' what the protoss has to show you. The memories shine through you as clear as day.}
&bold(){&color(#7fffd4){Raynor: }I saw... a hybrid. Something unnatural. It was trying to corrupt the protoss preservers. Who would have sent it there? Who controls something like that?}
&bold(){Tosh: The one that made them, for sure. That was just the first of many. Dark harbingers, man. Soon they'll be beyond numbering - an' the stars will weep at what comes after.}
&bold(){&color(#7fffd4){Raynor: }How could you know all this?}

&bold(){Tosh: (amused) What've you been seein' this time, man? (sober) Wait...I see it too. Kerrigan?}
&bold(){&color(#7fffd4){Raynor: }Seems the Overmind made Kerrigan to... free the zerg... from somethin'. Put 'em on a collision course with the protoss.}
&bold(){&color(#7fffd4){Raynor: }It's all gone wrong. Everything's... twisted, and there's something out there that's set to destroy us all.}
&bold(){Tosh: Zerg... protoss. These are strong races. How terrible - how powerful - is something that plays with their fates?}
-After TZeratul04
&bold(){Tosh: Damn, brotha' - you look like you could use a drink.}
&bold(){&color(#7fffd4){Raynor: }I saw the last vision Zeratul put into the crystal. It was a look into the future - a final battle against the hybrid. Armageddon. Somehow... Kerrigan's the key to preventing it.}
&bold(){Tosh: Who knows how the wheel turns? Cycles upon cycles. This much I know - Those that see the future best take heed. It's both a gift... and a curse.}
&bold(){&color(#7fffd4){Raynor: }But is it cast in stone? That's what I need to know.}
&bold(){Tosh: Who knows? I've heard you say we are who we choose to be. If that be true, the future cannot be fixed.}
-After THanson02
&bold(){&color(#7fffd4){Raynor: }What do ya' think of Dr. Hanson?}

#This conversation not available after TTychus04 - custom condition needed.
&bold(){Tosh: I been keepin' my ear to the ground for you, and I hear a whisper. Seems Mengsk is plannin' to use alien technology to stop the zerg.}
&bold(){&color(#7fffd4){Raynor: }So that's why he's collecting up artifacts!}
&bold(){Tosh: Maybe. Could be why Kerrigan's chasing them too. She may not want them for herself, but she'll stop anyone else from getting to them.}
-After THorner03
&bold(){Tosh: Ever wonder why Mengsk don't just send him Ghosts to kill you? You've been a thorn in his side for a long time.}
&bold(){&color(#7fffd4){Raynor: }Assassinating me'd just turn me into a martyr. (chuckles) He'd never be rid of me then. He needs to kill my reputation first.}
&bold(){Tosh: Very good. You think clearly despite your hate for him. 'Course his patience has got limits too. Tread careful, Mr Raynor. Someone on this ship is already working for Mengsk. I can feel it.}
-After THorner05S
&bold(){Tosh: Whatever you found down there makes me afraid. What was it?}
&bold(){&color(#7fffd4){Raynor: }Something monstrous - a zerg-protoss hybrid. It must've been a powerful psi for you to feel its scream from all the way up here.}
&bold(){Tosh: Searing. Blinding. Like feelin' the sun burning your face with your eyes squeezed shut. I never felt a thing like that before. I hope I never do again.}

&bold(){&color(#9acd32){Tychus: }Ok, so I might've had a little help when I broke out of prison. Let's just say it came at a price. I get to stay locked up in this suit 'til I pay off all my debts...}
&bold(){&color(#7fffd4){Raynor: }And who's collectin' those debts? Who sprung you?}
&bold(){&color(#9acd32){Tychus: }Them Moebius boys, of course. I didn't just run into them in a museum, y'know. They want them artifacts somethin' fierce.}

&bold(){&color(#7fffd4){Raynor: }Yeah? Who might that be?}

&bold(){&color(#7fffd4){Raynor: }I helped 'em defend their homeworld from the zerg during the first war. When Kerrigan came back leading the Swarm, I helped 'em out again. They're real big on loyalty.}

&bold(){&color(#7fffd4){Raynor: }Just how bad is it, Matt?}
&bold(){&color(#4169e1){Horner: }Zerg are attacking all over the sector, sir. Mengsk pulled the fleet back to protect the Dominion core-worlds, leavin' the fringe worlds to fend for themselves. It's a nightmare.}
&bold(){&color(#7fffd4){Raynor: }There's no way we can stop an alien invasion with one capital ship and a handful of volunteers.}
&bold(){&color(#9acd32){Tychus: }'Best we just stay clear, partner. [Happy 70]We can earn ourselves a fortune working for Moebius while this whole thing blows over.[/Happy]}

&bold(){&color(#7fffd4){Raynor: }Don't worry, Matt - we ain't sittin' this one out. But we're not exactly in tip top shape either. We'll earn some cash and build up our forces so we can make a difference when it counts.}
-After THanson02
&bold(){&color(#4169e1){Horner: }Kerrigan's learning some new tricks. The infestation on Meinhoff seemed particularly... virulent.}
&bold(){&color(#7fffd4){Raynor: }It's about the worst thing I can imagine - losing who you are like that, all the while being slowly twisted into a damn monster.}
&bold(){&color(#4169e1){Horner: }If any of Dr. Hanson's people on Haven are infested...}
&bold(){&color(#7fffd4){Raynor: }I know -- it's just a matter of time before the protoss come looking for them. (beat) Still, I have a history with the protoss. If it comes to that, maybe I can talk 'em down.}
-After TTychus02
&bold(){&color(#7fffd4){Raynor: }You ain't gonna believe this, but I just saw Zeratul on the ship.}
&bold(){&color(#4169e1){Horner: }Ah. How much did you have to drink tonight, sir?}
&bold(){&color(#7fffd4){Raynor: }[Angry 70]He was here, Matt. And he was hurt,[/Angry] on the run from something.}
&bold(){&color(#4169e1){Horner: }Where is he now, sir?}
&bold(){&color(#7fffd4){Raynor: }[Fear 50]I don't know. But he ain't on this ship anymore. He gave me an Ihan memory crystal and he was desperate for me to study it. [/Fear]I guess he wants me to see what he's seen.}
-After THorner01
&bold(){&color(#4169e1){Horner: }I've been looking for an encryption expert so we can access the adjutant we recovered. No luck so far.}
&bold(){&color(#7fffd4){Raynor: }Colonel Orlan at Deadman's Port can crack anything... Haven't been back there in awhile. [Happy 70]Say, didn't you end up gettin' married last time we were there?[/Happy]}

&bold(){&color(#4169e1){Horner: }We can't be everywhere at once, sir. The important thing is that we set an example and gave them hope.}
&bold(){&color(#4169e1){Horner: }Every time we help folks in need it's another step on the road to a better future.}
&bold(){&color(#7fffd4){Raynor: }I know, Matt - but it's been four years and we're still no closer to bringing Mengsk down. Now with the zerg back in the mix...}
&bold(){&color(#7fffd4){Raynor: }Your better future needs to hurry up an' get here or there's gonna be no one left to see it.}
-After TTosh02
&bold(){&color(#7fffd4){Raynor: }What do you make of that encrypted message, Matt?}
&bold(){&color(#4169e1){Horner: }I honestly don't know, Sir. If Tosh really is one of these Spectres, it's clear Mengsk would try to ruin your partnership. But Tosh isn't telling us everything. If we're going to win this revolution...}

-After THorner04 (THorner05 S unlocked)
&bold(){&color(#7fffd4){Raynor: }Those classified documents we found on Korhal weren't anything special. Just referred to some old bio-weapons lab orbiting Castanar.}
&bold(){&color(#4169e1){Horner: }I think this one might be different. The files suggest they were planning to terminate everyone who ever worked there.}
&bold(){&color(#7fffd4){Raynor: }I assume that doesn't mean 'firing' them... But why would Mengsk wanna' kill a whole research staff?}
&bold(){&color(#4169e1){Horner: }I don't know, but it seems like something we should check out.}
&bold(){&color(#7fffd4){Raynor: }It does, indeed.}

&bold(){&color(#7fffd4){Raynor: }So, Matt, you planning another strike against Mengsk?}
&bold(){&color(#4169e1){Horner: }Not just yet, sir. I figured we need to focus on the zerg first. Overthrowing Mengsk won't mean anything if we can't beat them.}
&bold(){&color(#7fffd4){Raynor: }True. Freedom ain't worth squat if Kerrigan kills us all, that's for sure. Guess Mengsk can wait.}
-After TTychus01
&bold(){&color(#4169e1){Horner: }Are you alright, sir? Confronting Kerrigan again after all these years...}
&bold(){&color(#7fffd4){Raynor: }We've gotta' stop her Matt... no matter what she's after.}
&bold(){&color(#4169e1){Horner: }Well, we gave her a setback today. The artifacts are obviously important to her, I just wish we knew why.}

&bold(){&color(#4169e1){Horner: }No. We've followed your lead from the start. It's your sense of justice that's kept us on this road.}
&bold(){&color(#7fffd4){Raynor: }Matt, my interest in justice burned out a long time ago. I've spent my whole life fighting; I've killed, I've ordered good men to their deaths - and for what?}
&bold(){&color(#7fffd4){Raynor: }(beat) Finishing this thing with Mengsk... it's all I have left. It's guys like you that'll build something better after all the smoke clears.}

&bold(){&color(#4169e1){Horner: }[Sad 50]Mengsk turned out to be a ruthless dictator... but that shouldn't automatically condemn his son. [/Sad]I've followed you through hell and back, sir - I'm not quitting on you now.}
&bold(){&color(#7fffd4){Raynor: }Good man. This truce won't last forever - just long enough to get the job done.}
&bold(){&color(#4169e1){Horner: }On a personal note, nice job with Tychus. That ass-kicking's been a long time coming.}
-After TZeratul01
&bold(){&color(#7fffd4){Raynor: }How long was I down in the lab, Matt?}
&bold(){&color(#4169e1){Horner: }You've been gone for hours, sir. You've been in the lab all that time?}
&bold(){&color(#7fffd4){Raynor: }I used the Ihan crystal Zeratul gave me. I'd swear it only lasted a few minutes... So vivid... Zeratul's been searching for a Xel'Naga prophecy about the end of the universe. There's more, I just haven't got to it yet.}
-After TZeratul02 (If THorner05S hasn't been played)
&bold(){&color(#4169e1){Horner: }Welcome back, sir. What did you discover from the crystal this time?}
&bold(){&color(#7fffd4){Raynor: }It's that obvious I used it, huh? Zeratul took the prophecy fragments he found to a... temple? Library? Kinda both, I guess. But this weird protoss-zerg hybrid had taken over the place.}
&bold(){&color(#4169e1){Horner: }You mean some sort of infested protoss?}
&bold(){&color(#7fffd4){Raynor: }No, this wasn't like infestation at all. It was like someone took the strengths of both races and twisted them together. I gotta tell you - if these things are real, we're in a lot of trouble.}
-After TZeratul03
&bold(){&color(#7fffd4){Raynor: }Damn, Matt. I don't even know what to make of this last vision from the crystal.}

&bold(){&color(#4169e1){Horner: }Aiur? What was he looking for?}
&bold(){&color(#7fffd4){Raynor: }He was trying to find out why the Overmind made the Queen of Blades in the first place.}
&bold(){&color(#4169e1){Horner: }She's the one that's going to destroy the universe?}
&bold(){&color(#7fffd4){Raynor: }No, that's just it - I think she's the only one that can save it.}
-After TZeratul04
&bold(){&color(#4169e1){Horner: }You look shaken, sir. What's wrong?}
&bold(){&color(#7fffd4){Raynor: }Zeratul called it a vision of the future. It was the end times, Matt. Armageddon. More protoss than we ever knew existed, but there still weren't enough to stop the hybrid.}
&bold(){&color(#4169e1){Horner: }But what about Kerrigan? Wasn't she supposed to stop them?}
&bold(){&color(#7fffd4){Raynor: }In this time-line she was dead. Killed by...us. That's what Zeratul's been trying to tell us all along. She has to live or we're all doomed.}
-After TValerian01
&bold(){&color(#7fffd4){Raynor: }How we doin' up here, Matt?}
&bold(){&color(#4169e1){Horner: }It's a mess, sir. We're barely holding our orbital positions. Zerg fliers are pounding the hell out of us and Warfield's force is barely holding the landing zone.}
&bold(){&color(#7fffd4){Raynor: }I know you're doing the best you can. Just keep things together and we'll make it through this.}
&bold(){&color(#4169e1){Horner: }I know, sir. I won't let you down.}
-After TValerian02A
&bold(){&color(#7fffd4){Raynor: }I know taking out those Nydus canals left y'all in the lurch up here... I'm sorry for that.}
&bold(){&color(#4169e1){Horner: }You did what you had to do, sir. [Fear 70]But this last step - are you sure you know what you're getting into? What if she can't be saved? Have you really considered that? [/Fear]}
&bold(){&color(#7fffd4){Raynor: }(beat)It's real simple for me, Matt. I'll never give up on her. Long as there's a chance of bringin' her back, I'll never quit.}
&bold(){&color(#4169e1){Horner: }But what if you fail? Can you live with that?}
&bold(){&color(#7fffd4){Raynor: }Matt, If I fail... we're all dead men anyway.}

&bold(){&color(#4169e1){Horner: }With the platform down the zerg have stopped hammering us. We're finally gaining control of high orbit. [Fear 70]But, sir - this last step are you sure you know what you're getting into? What if she can't be saved? Have you really considered that?[/Fear]}
&bold(){&color(#7fffd4){Raynor: }(beat) It's real simple for me, Matt. I'll never give up on her. Long as there's a chance of bringin' her back, I'll never quit.}

&bold(){&color(#4169e1){Horner: }Welcome back, sir. Learn anything new from the crystal?}
&bold(){&color(#7fffd4){Raynor: }Something I wish I hadn't seen. You remember that zerg-protoss hybrid at the lab we raided?}
&bold(){&color(#4169e1){Horner: }Hard to forget. That thing was an abomination.}
&bold(){&color(#7fffd4){Raynor: }Well Zeratul took the prophecy fragments he had to a... temple? Library? Kinda both I guess. A hybrid had already taken over the place. [Fear 70]Just how many of these things are out there?[/Fear]}
-After THorner03
&bold(){&color(#4169e1){Horner: }Sir, when Tychus came back aboard the ship, I had the techs run a scan on him.}
&bold(){&color(#7fffd4){Raynor: }Matt, you need to get a hobby.}
&bold(){&color(#4169e1){Horner: }Seriously Sir -- his suit contains a sophisticated transponder... if it receives the correct code, it'll shut down all his major organs. That suit is a death trap.}
&bold(){&color(#7fffd4){Raynor: }(stunned) He's got a gun to his head.}

#The camera cuts away to show a ferocious battle being waged across an unknown world. An oppressive RED HAZE hangs over the maps as we pan down to see a massive PROTOSS BASE being attacked by super-powered HYBRID. Though seen only distantly, it's clear the hybrid are whomping the snot out of the protoss.
&bold(){Overmind: On a distant, shadowed world, the protoss will make their final stand. Their heroes will gather, their forces will be marshaled, and they will die bravely. But still, they will die.}
#Camera cuts to show the hybrid in action. They are terrifying and majestic all at once.
&bold(){Overmind: And my zerg... will be slaves... to the hybrid.}
#The camera cuts away to show massive explosions of psionic energy ripping up the base. Massive psi-storms are being unleashed across the map. The onslaught is overwhelming.
&bold(){Overmind: All will bow before the power... of the Fallen One.}
#A massive shockwave rocks the protoss base as the camera comes to settle on Zeratul.

&bold(){&color(#7fffd4){Raynor: }Even if that were possible, she holes up in the main hive cluster on Char - protected by a billion screaming zerg. How're you going to get that thing anywhere near her?}
&bold(){Valerian: You're the only man who's been close to her and lived to tell the tale. You know her tactics, you know her strategies - and I know you'd risk anything for the chance to bring her back.}
-After TValerian01
#This scene takes place if the player goes back to the Hyperion after TValerian01. Valerian is on the communicator.
&bold(){&color(#4169e1){Horner: }Welcome back, sir. Glad you're still alive. Prince Valerian's been trying to contact you. You can reach him over the communicator.}
-After THorner01
#Debrief starts on the Bridge
&bold(){&color(#4169e1){Horner: }Sir, that adjutant we recovered is down in the lab. She's all powered up.}
-After TZeratul04
&bold(){Zeratul: Friend Raynor, you now bear witness... to the truth. There is a malevolent presence within the Void that seeks to destroy everything we hold dear. Could this... Fallen One be a Xel'Naga? After so long... could the gods themselves seek our destruction?}
&bold(){Zeratul: And Kerrigan... I can hardly believe -- the wretched Queen of Blades will prevent the destruction of all that we know...}
&bold(){Zeratul: Raynor, you may soon hold Kerrigan's fate in your hands. I know only that she must live. Be wary, old friend... the hounds of the Void... are on the hunt.}
-After THorner05S (If TZeratul02 has been played)
&bold(){&color(#7fffd4){Raynor: }That thing down there, it...It was like the hybrid Zeratul fought.}
&bold(){&color(#4169e1){Horner: }Here? But how?}
&bold(){&color(#7fffd4){Raynor: }(ranting) Mengsk! It's always Mengsk! The end of the universe is coming and I should have known he'd be behind it!}
&bold(){&color(#4169e1){Horner: }But how did he hybridize zerg and protoss? The technology required is way beyond anything terrans have developed. He can't be working alone on this...}
-After THorner05 S (If TZeratul02 hasn't been played)
&bold(){&color(#7fffd4){Raynor: }What the hell is Mengsk playing at?}
&bold(){&color(#4169e1){Horner: }Creating his own alien super-soldiers by the looks of it. He's found a way to hybridize zerg and protoss somehow.}
&bold(){&color(#7fffd4){Raynor: }Don't look like he's house-broken 'em yet. Least the lab's been trashed.}
&bold(){&color(#4169e1){Horner: }Yeah, but it was only one lab. Who's to say how many more he's set up?}
-After Tychus 04, on the Bridge
#TIME HAS PASSED. Raynor now back in his civvies.
#We fade back in as Raynor walks onto the bridge. Horner and Tychus are uneasy...
&bold(){&color(#4169e1){Horner: }Sir, tell me you're not seriously considering this deal with Valerian!}
&bold(){&color(#9acd32){Tychus: }Sounds like a golden deal to me, Jimmy. Kerrigan turns human, takes a bullet between the eyes... You can put your past to rest and still make one hell of a payday!}
#Raynor looks at him threateningly --
&bold(){&color(#7fffd4){Raynor: }Let's not get ahead of ourselves, Tychus...}
&bold(){&color(#4169e1){Horner: }Assaulting Char is a suicide mission! You'd be putting all our lives on the line just to get your girlfriend back!}
&bold(){&color(#7fffd4){Raynor: }This is bigger than all of us, Matt! It ain't about me. This is the only real chance we're ever gonna' get. And I'm takin' it.}
&bold(){&color(#9acd32){Tychus: }So which is it gonna be, Jimmy? We bringin' Kerrigan back... or puttin' her in the ground?}
&bold(){&color(#7fffd4){Raynor: }That's for me to decide. (beat) You've both got a lot of prep work to do -- get to it!}
-After THorner01 in the Lab
#Wide shot of the lab as Raynor approaches the adjutant.

-After THorner02 in the Lab
#Wide shot of the lab as Raynor approaches the adjutant.
&bold(){&color(#7fffd4){Raynor: }Well, old girl, we dug you up on Tarsonis. Were you online during the zerg attack? You remember anything about Arcturus Mengsk bein' involved?}
&bold(){Confederate Adjutant: Mengsk. Arcturus. Ex-Confederate officer. Civilian Prospector. Founder and leader of the Sons of Korhal terrorist group. Status. Criminal.}

#--- These next lines are playback from Terran 8 in SC1. As these lines play we cut to Raynor's face (with a slow push in) as he listens, shocked and cut back to the adjutant to show her speaking in different voices. Probably need to script this and get some fine-tuned FaceFX work for Raynor.
&bold(){Duke: This is Duke. The Emitters are secured and online.}
&bold(){Kerrigan: Who authorized the use of Psi Emitters?}
&bold(){&color(#ffa500){Arcturus: }I did, Lieutenant.}
&bold(){Kerrigan: What? The Confederates on Antiga were bad enough, but now you're going to use the Zerg against an entire planet? This is insane.}
&bold(){&color(#7fffd4){Raynor: }She's right, man. Think this through.}
&bold(){&color(#ffa500){Arcturus: }I have thought it through, believe me. You all have your orders. Carry them out.}
#STATIC as if a 2nd recording is spliced onto the end.
&bold(){&color(#ffa500){Arcturus: }I will not be stopped. Not by you or the Confederates or the Protoss or anyone! I will rule this sector or see it burnt to ashes around me.}
#Change camera, still on Raynor
&bold(){&color(#7fffd4){Raynor: }Holy... I can't believe it! We can nail Mengsk to the wall with this!}

&bold(){Warfield: Intel shows eighty percent of the zerg fliers nest on an infested platform hanging in low orbit. We take that down, we'll own the air.}

#The screen shows a command center flying to the base building location.
&bold(){&color(#4169e1){Horner: }That's right -- and we won't disappoint them. Seeing as he's the only one with experience, Tychus will pilot the Odin and hit the studio guards with a surprise attack. They'll be confused for several minutes - and won't even know who to attack at first.}
&bold(){&color(#7fffd4){Raynor: }And during the confusion, we'll establish a forward base using this command center we 'acquired' earlier.}

&bold(){Tosh: She's a lovely thing. Full o' honey, that one. At least that's what she want you to think.}
&bold(){&color(#7fffd4){Raynor: }You think she's hiding something?}
&bold(){Tosh: You ever wonder why the zerg hit her world so fast? Something there they want. Something made o' honey maybe? Buzzin' little bees...}

#This conversation not available after TTychus04 - custom condition needed.
&bold(){Tosh: I been keepin' my ear to the ground for you, and I hear a whisper. Seems Mengsk is plannin' to use alien technology to stop the zerg.}
&bold(){&color(#7fffd4){Raynor: }So that's why he's collecting up artifacts!}
&bold(){Tosh: Maybe. Could be why Kerrigan's chasing them too. She may not want them for herself, but she'll stop anyone else from getting to them.}
-After THorner03
&bold(){Tosh: Ever wonder why Mengsk don't just send him Ghosts to kill you? You've been a thorn in his side for a long time.}
&bold(){&color(#7fffd4){Raynor: }Assassinating me'd just turn me into a martyr. (chuckles) He'd never be rid of me then. He needs to kill my reputation first.}
&bold(){Tosh: Very good. You think clearly despite your hate for him. 'Course his patience has got limits too. Tread careful, Mr Raynor. Someone on this ship is already working for Mengsk. I can feel it.}
-After THorner05S
&bold(){Tosh: Whatever you found down there makes me afraid. What was it?}
&bold(){&color(#7fffd4){Raynor: }Something monstrous - a zerg-protoss hybrid. It must've been a powerful psi for you to feel its scream from all the way up here.}
&bold(){Tosh: Searing. Blinding. Like feelin' the sun burning your face with your eyes squeezed shut. I never felt a thing like that before. I hope I never do again.}
-After TTychus01
&bold(){Tosh: Must be hard, man, seeing the Queen o' blades out in the world again.}
&bold(){&color(#7fffd4){Raynor: }How much do you know about Kerrigan, Tosh?}
&bold(){Tosh: I had some... friends in the Ghost Academy. That girl was a legend even before she disappeared from the program. There's a few that know the truth... how the Queen of Blades came to be.}
&bold(){&color(#7fffd4){Raynor: }She's a creature of pure rage now.}
&bold(){Tosh: Oh yes - it's her or us. If we don't kill her she'll slaughter us all.}

&bold(){&color(#7fffd4){Raynor: }Why are you here, Tosh? Our business is done unless ya got something else for me?}
&bold(){Tosh: Yeah I got another job for us on a world called Bel'Shir. Interested?}
&bold(){&color(#7fffd4){Raynor: }Maybe. But what's in it for me? Piracy ain't exactly my chosen path.}
&bold(){Tosh: Everyone knows Jim Raynor wants to put the hurt on Mengsk. I can help you with that...I can help you big time.}
&bold(){&color(#7fffd4){Raynor: }I'll think about it. For the time being - welcome aboard the Hyperion. We'll talk later.}

&bold(){&color(#9acd32){Tychus: }One helluva ship y'got here, Jimmy. How'd you get a hold of a floating palace like this?}
&bold(){&color(#7fffd4){Raynor: }The Hyperion was Mengsk's flagship back in the day. Me and Matt decided to 'borrow' her when we parted company with him. This old baby's seen us through some tight spots.}
&bold(){&color(#4169e1){Horner: }Speaking of tight spots, Tychus - why are you still wearing that suit on my bridge?}
&bold(){&color(#7fffd4){Raynor: }Yeah - what, did you bust the zipper or something?}
&bold(){&color(#9acd32){Tychus: }Ok, so I might've had a little help when I broke out of prison. Let's just say it came at a price. I get to stay locked up in this suit 'til I pay off all my debts...}
&bold(){&color(#7fffd4){Raynor: }And who's collectin' those debts? Who sprung you?}
&bold(){&color(#9acd32){Tychus: }Them Moebius boys, of course. I didn't just run into them in a museum, y'know. They want them artifacts somethin' fierce.}
&bold(){&color(#7fffd4){Raynor: }(to Tychus) Your debts better not bite us in the ass, Tychus. Coverin' for your shenanigans ain't part of the deal.}
-After TTychus03
&bold(){&color(#9acd32){Tychus: }I been thinking about Tyrador, and you know - there's gotta be better ways to make a fast buck than divin' headlong into an alien invasion.}
&bold(){&color(#7fffd4){Raynor: }If it gets too hairy for ya', just try and think of the money.}
&bold(){&color(#9acd32){Tychus: }I'm trying, old buddy. I'm trying real hard.}
-After TTychus04
&bold(){&color(#9acd32){Tychus: }You sure about this? You gotta know Mengsk is gunnin' for ya. He'll hit you in a way you'll never see coming.}
&bold(){&color(#7fffd4){Raynor: }I can handle Mengsk, Tychus.}
&bold(){&color(#9acd32){Tychus: }Just watch your back, ol' buddy. That's all I'm askin'.}

&bold(){&color(#9acd32){Tychus: }Aw, regular folk just ain't ready for the raw sex appeal I'd unleash into their grey little lives. I reckon my niche is right here with you, ol' buddy. Right to the end.}

&bold(){&color(#9acd32){Tychus: }Never was a man of 'em could keep up with you on a Vulture, Jimmy. Just added to the fun. How the hell you got a job as marshal after all that I'll never know.}

&bold(){&color(#7fffd4){Raynor: }So how does the Odin rate as a fighting machine?}
&bold(){&color(#9acd32){Tychus: }Brother... it is the single greatest creation in the history of mankind. Stridin' around and dispensin' righteous fury just about brought a tear to my eye.}

&bold(){&color(#7fffd4){Raynor: }You'll get your chance soon enough, ol' buddy. Don't you worry.}
-After TTosh01
&bold(){&color(#7fffd4){Raynor: }You ever heard of a guy named Gabriel Tosh?}
&bold(){&color(#9acd32){Tychus: }Only rumors. Way I hear it, he was mixed up in some covert branch of the Ghost program that produced some real scary bad-asses. Word was Tosh snapped and went rogue. I'd play it real cool with that kind. He'd cut your throat soon as look 'atcha.}
&bold(){&color(#7fffd4){Raynor: }I've dealt with rogue Ghosts before. It's the ones still working for Mengsk I got a problem with.}
-After TTosh3B
&bold(){&color(#9acd32){Tychus: }That little Nova chick was somethin' else. You ever think about hittin' that, Jimmy?}
&bold(){&color(#7fffd4){Raynor: }Heh. That girl's nothin' but trouble, Tychus. She's got her hands full hunting down the rest of Tosh's psychopathic Spectres. Best just to stay out of her way.}
&bold(){&color(#9acd32){Tychus: }That wasn't no answer. All these missed opportunities... There's something very wrong with you, man.}
-After THanson03A
&bold(){&color(#9acd32){Tychus: }Damn shame Doc Hanson stayed behind. She was just about to fall for my roguish charms too. You ain't gonna tell me you weren't just a little bit tempted to stay with her, are ya?}
&bold(){&color(#7fffd4){Raynor: }I been down that road before, Tychus. I took my shot at a normal life a long time ago. Ain't no going back now.}
&bold(){&color(#9acd32){Tychus: }Huh. Couple of badasses like us ain't cut out for the quiet life anyway. Yes sir, destiny's got us pegged for something way bigger.}
-After THanson03B
&bold(){&color(#7fffd4){Raynor: }You gonna tell me 'I told ya so' - that we never shoulda gone to Agria in the first place?}
&bold(){&color(#9acd32){Tychus: }I ain't about to kick dirt on ya when yer down. Just some bad luck is all. Besides I'm sure your protoss buddies are real proud of you.}
&bold(){&color(#7fffd4){Raynor: }It was our own mess to clean up. I don't give a damn what the protoss think.}
-After TTosh03A
&bold(){&color(#7fffd4){Raynor: }Thought you'd want to hear - Tosh has officially thrown in with our little revolution. He's gonna lend us his Spectres to help out.}
&bold(){&color(#9acd32){Tychus: }You sure got a soft spot for wayward psychics, Jimmy. Settin' those freaks loose ain't smart. Ol' Mengsk had 'em locked up for a reason.}
&bold(){&color(#7fffd4){Raynor: }Mengsk locked 'em up because they were just weapons to him. They deserve a shot at livin' their lives outside of a cage... just like anyone else.}
-After TTychus01
&bold(){&color(#7fffd4){Raynor: }Your Moebius buddies ever happen to mention that the Queen of Blades wants these artifacts too?}

&bold(){&color(#7fffd4){Raynor: }I thought it was just about the money with you, Tychus.}

&bold(){&color(#7fffd4){Raynor: }Well, I need someone to balance out your sophistication and good manners.}
&bold(){&color(#9acd32){Tychus: }The guy ain't right in the head, brother! I can appreciate some good, honest craziness. But that guy? He's got something broke inside.}
-After TTychus05
&bold(){&color(#7fffd4){Raynor: }You ready to tell me what the hell that was all about?}
&bold(){&color(#9acd32){Tychus: }Man, these last few weeks... helpin' you fight the good fight - I finally got a taste of what real freedom is.}
&bold(){&color(#9acd32){Tychus: }But that's all comin' to an end with you chargin' off like some damn hero - for a cause I couldn't care less about.}
&bold(){&color(#7fffd4){Raynor: }Then what was all that talk earlier about doin' humanity a favor and getting paid well in the process?}
&bold(){&color(#9acd32){Tychus: }'Just seems the closer we get to your Queen of Blades... well, let's just say things don't always work out the way ya' plan, Jimmy.}
&bold(){&color(#7fffd4){Raynor: }I need ya with me on this one, Tychus. Trust me... for old times' sake.}

&bold(){&color(#9acd32){Tychus: }I gotta' know - just what was it went down between you and Mengsk? Seems you boys were tight once.}
&bold(){&color(#7fffd4){Raynor: }I used to think Mengsk'd be a force for change. I fought alongside him right up until Tarsonis. That's where he crossed the line by using zerg to murder the whole planet.}
&bold(){&color(#7fffd4){Raynor: }He left Kerrigan there to die 'cause she called him out on it. Turned out he was just as rotten as the Confederacy ever was.}

&bold(){&color(#9acd32){Tychus: }Well that's gonna be a bit tricky. I hear the zerg've attacked the Moebius research center on Tyrador. I don't get it though. What's the Queen of Blades after? Ain't no artifacts there.}
&bold(){&color(#7fffd4){Raynor: }If those eggheads can't hold out till we get there, we may never know. Upload the data to the star map. Looks like we've got ourselves a good ol' fashioned rescue mission.}

-After THanson01
&bold(){&color(#7fffd4){Raynor: }You meet Dr. Hanson yet?}
&bold(){&color(#9acd32){Tychus: }Sure did. I asked that sweet thing if she'd like to give me a physical. No harm in askin', right? I think she's got her eye on some pansy-ass though.}
&bold(){&color(#7fffd4){Raynor: }Yeah? Who might that be?}
&bold(){&color(#9acd32){Tychus: }(sarcastic) Oh I dunno, some white knight kinda guy, came charging down to save her colony, maybe? Damn, Jimmy - you never could read the ladies.}
-After TZeratul01
&bold(){&color(#9acd32){Tychus: }How'd you become such good buddies with those freaky pro-toss? All I hear is they kill terrans like you and me on sight!}
&bold(){&color(#7fffd4){Raynor: }Some of 'em would. But some others would fight to the death protectin' people like us.}
&bold(){&color(#7fffd4){Raynor: }I helped 'em defend their homeworld from the zerg during the first war. When Kerrigan came back leading the Swarm, I helped 'em out again. They're real big on loyalty.}

&bold(){&color(#7fffd4){Raynor: }Just how bad is it, Matt?}
&bold(){&color(#4169e1){Horner: }Zerg are attacking all over the sector, sir. Mengsk pulled the fleet back to protect the Dominion core-worlds, leavin' the fringe worlds to fend for themselves. It's a nightmare.}
&bold(){&color(#7fffd4){Raynor: }There's no way we can stop an alien invasion with one capital ship and a handful of volunteers.}
&bold(){&color(#9acd32){Tychus: }'Best we just stay clear, partner. [Happy 70]We can earn ourselves a fortune working for Moebius while this whole thing blows over.[/Happy]}

&bold(){&color(#7fffd4){Raynor: }Don't worry, Matt - we ain't sittin' this one out. But we're not exactly in tip top shape either. We'll earn some cash and build up our forces so we can make a difference when it counts.}
-After THanson02
&bold(){&color(#4169e1){Horner: }Kerrigan's learning some new tricks. The infestation on Meinhoff seemed particularly... virulent.}
&bold(){&color(#7fffd4){Raynor: }It's about the worst thing I can imagine - losing who you are like that, all the while being slowly twisted into a damn monster.}
&bold(){&color(#4169e1){Horner: }If any of Dr. Hanson's people on Haven are infested...}
&bold(){&color(#7fffd4){Raynor: }I know -- it's just a matter of time before the protoss come looking for them. (beat) Still, I have a history with the protoss. If it comes to that, maybe I can talk 'em down.}
-After TTychus02
&bold(){&color(#7fffd4){Raynor: }You ain't gonna believe this, but I just saw Zeratul on the ship.}
&bold(){&color(#4169e1){Horner: }Ah. How much did you have to drink tonight, sir?}
&bold(){&color(#7fffd4){Raynor: }[Angry 70]He was here, Matt. And he was hurt,[/Angry] on the run from something.}
&bold(){&color(#4169e1){Horner: }Where is he now, sir?}
&bold(){&color(#7fffd4){Raynor: }[Fear 50]I don't know. But he ain't on this ship anymore. He gave me an Ihan memory crystal and he was desperate for me to study it. [/Fear]I guess he wants me to see what he's seen.}

&bold(){&color(#4169e1){Horner: }We can't be everywhere at once, sir. The important thing is that we set an example and gave them hope.}
&bold(){&color(#4169e1){Horner: }Every time we help folks in need it's another step on the road to a better future.}
&bold(){&color(#7fffd4){Raynor: }I know, Matt - but it's been four years and we're still no closer to bringing Mengsk down. Now with the zerg back in the mix...}
&bold(){&color(#7fffd4){Raynor: }Your better future needs to hurry up an' get here or there's gonna be no one left to see it.}
-After TTosh02
&bold(){&color(#7fffd4){Raynor: }What do you make of that encrypted message, Matt?}
&bold(){&color(#4169e1){Horner: }I honestly don't know, Sir. If Tosh really is one of these Spectres, it's clear Mengsk would try to ruin your partnership. But Tosh isn't telling us everything. If we're going to win this revolution...}

&bold(){&color(#7fffd4){Raynor: }Those classified documents we found on Korhal weren't anything special. Just referred to some old bio-weapons lab orbiting Castanar.}
&bold(){&color(#4169e1){Horner: }I think this one might be different. The files suggest they were planning to terminate everyone who ever worked there.}
&bold(){&color(#7fffd4){Raynor: }I assume that doesn't mean 'firing' them... But why would Mengsk wanna' kill a whole research staff?}
&bold(){&color(#4169e1){Horner: }I don't know, but it seems like something we should check out.}

&bold(){&color(#7fffd4){Raynor: }So, Matt, you planning another strike against Mengsk?}
&bold(){&color(#4169e1){Horner: }Not just yet, sir. I figured we need to focus on the zerg first. Overthrowing Mengsk won't mean anything if we can't beat them.}
&bold(){&color(#7fffd4){Raynor: }True. Freedom ain't worth squat if Kerrigan kills us all, that's for sure. Guess Mengsk can wait.}

&bold(){&color(#7fffd4){Raynor: }Matt, my interest in justice burned out a long time ago. I've spent my whole life fighting; I've killed, I've ordered good men to their deaths - and for what?}
&bold(){&color(#7fffd4){Raynor: }(beat) Finishing this thing with Mengsk... it's all I have left. It's guys like you that'll build something better after all the smoke clears.}
&bold(){&color(#4169e1){Horner: }That's because you gave us something to believe in, sir. I'll never give up the fight. That's a promise.}
-After TTychus04
&bold(){&color(#4169e1){Horner: }Sir, I have to question your objectivity on this alliance. It's obviously a trap!}
&bold(){&color(#7fffd4){Raynor: }I got it covered, Matt. I'm askin' you to trust me.}
&bold(){&color(#4169e1){Horner: }We were starting to make real progress against Mengsk. If we go after the Queen of Blades, we're throwing that away!}

-After TZeratul01
&bold(){&color(#7fffd4){Raynor: }How long was I down in the lab, Matt?}
&bold(){&color(#4169e1){Horner: }You've been gone for hours, sir. You've been in the lab all that time?}
&bold(){&color(#7fffd4){Raynor: }I used the Ihan crystal Zeratul gave me. I'd swear it only lasted a few minutes... So vivid... Zeratul's been searching for a Xel'Naga prophecy about the end of the universe. There's more, I just haven't got to it yet.}
-After TZeratul02 (If THorner05S hasn't been played)
&bold(){&color(#4169e1){Horner: }Welcome back, sir. What did you discover from the crystal this time?}
&bold(){&color(#7fffd4){Raynor: }It's that obvious I used it, huh? Zeratul took the prophecy fragments he found to a... temple? Library? Kinda both, I guess. But this weird protoss-zerg hybrid had taken over the place.}
&bold(){&color(#4169e1){Horner: }You mean some sort of infested protoss?}
&bold(){&color(#7fffd4){Raynor: }No, this wasn't like infestation at all. It was like someone took the strengths of both races and twisted them together. I gotta tell you - if these things are real, we're in a lot of trouble.}
-After TZeratul03
&bold(){&color(#7fffd4){Raynor: }Damn, Matt. I don't even know what to make of this last vision from the crystal.}
&bold(){&color(#7fffd4){Raynor: }Zeratul was looking for more clues about the end of the universe -- but this time he was on Aiur.}
&bold(){&color(#4169e1){Horner: }Aiur? What was he looking for?}
&bold(){&color(#7fffd4){Raynor: }He was trying to find out why the Overmind made the Queen of Blades in the first place.}
&bold(){&color(#4169e1){Horner: }She's the one that's going to destroy the universe?}
&bold(){&color(#7fffd4){Raynor: }No, that's just it - I think she's the only one that can save it.}
-After TZeratul04
&bold(){&color(#4169e1){Horner: }You look shaken, sir. What's wrong?}
&bold(){&color(#7fffd4){Raynor: }Zeratul called it a vision of the future. It was the end times, Matt. Armageddon. More protoss than we ever knew existed, but there still weren't enough to stop the hybrid.}
&bold(){&color(#4169e1){Horner: }But what about Kerrigan? Wasn't she supposed to stop them?}
&bold(){&color(#7fffd4){Raynor: }In this time-line she was dead. Killed by...us. That's what Zeratul's been trying to tell us all along. She has to live or we're all doomed.}
-After TValerian01
&bold(){&color(#7fffd4){Raynor: }How we doin' up here, Matt?}
&bold(){&color(#4169e1){Horner: }It's a mess, sir. We're barely holding our orbital positions. Zerg fliers are pounding the hell out of us and Warfield's force is barely holding the landing zone.}
&bold(){&color(#7fffd4){Raynor: }I know you're doing the best you can. Just keep things together and we'll make it through this.}
&bold(){&color(#4169e1){Horner: }I know, sir. I won't let you down.}
-After TValerian02A
