Piercing the Shroud

Piercing the Shroud is the secret StarCraft II: Wings of Liberty mission. It is accessed by destroying the science facility in Media Blitz and obtaining the secret documents within.

Raynor's Raiders investigated a secret Terran Dominion facility and discovered the Dominion was experimenting with hybrids.

History
The Raiders discovered the location of a secret Dominion facility during a raid on Korhal. Raynor and a marine team infiltrated the facility using security overrides. Upon reaching the science lab they discovered a hybrid cloned several times. Raynor decided to destroy the facility by blowing up the reactor. However, the explosion released a hybrid and the rebels were forced to flee. The Raiders barely managed to escape by stealing a Dominion Hercules dropship.

Gameplay
The player is given the command of Jim Raynor and a number of marines and medics. The player will be given a number of choices along the mission, as well as what kind of reinforcements he wishes to receive in a specific point into the mission.

Easter Egg
On a floating asteroid outside the chamber with the brutalisk, there is a murloc in terran marine armor and using a rifle. After the hybrid starts attacking, the asteroid and the murloc is gone.

Trivia
Near the murloc you can spot a flying outhouse under and around the asteroid.

One of the cloning vats in the brutalisk room contains a Metroid from the game series of the same name.

When the hybrid starts his rampage, if one goes in the room where it has to destroy some rubble to attack you, there will be a screen angled away from you. If you angle the camera with the (insert) key you can see what is on the screen which appears to be people moving furniture. And in the background there appears to be a “Queen Of Blades” Statue but you won’t be able to see all of her. It seems to be in the point of view of a security camera.

If one goes down on the map one can find another monitor with another video loop. It seems to be outside some type of convention with allot of people and some people with passes leaving a building cheering. This video seems to be filmed with a larger camera. It is one of the last rooms before the Hercules dropship.

In the "brutalisk room" one can see near the panel the L800ETC Tauren in his terran marine armor floating in the water tank.
