Forum:It makes all sense now... A theory about the first Overmind

With the information given to us in StarCraft II: Wings of Liberty, some events in StarCraft make sense now. For example, why did the Overmind "made manifest" on Aiur? That'd be a foolish movement on his part. He was already winning the war, so, why expose himself by implanting his body on Aiur? Also, why did he left Kerrigan on Char, when she was also supposed to be his 'ultimate weapon against the Protoss'? My theory on this is very simple: the Overmind indeed wanted to be killed and at the same time ensure Kerrigan's survival. It may seem weird, I know, but it makes sense. He needed Kerrigan in order to 'free' the Swarm so the Dark Voice and its Hybrid couldn't control it. But of course, with himself still in charge, the Swarm wasn't free yet. So, in order for Kerrigan to take command, he needed to sacrifice himself in order to save his 'people'. This would also explain Tassadar's statements on Aiur in Echoes of the Future; I have come to tell you of this creature's... courage. Maybe he did mean the courage the Overmind had by sacrificing himself for the greater good? Your thoughts? Omega20 11:58, September 7, 2010 (UTC)
