-Bud Morris may be alive...huh...well, the Fenix commander (just call him Talandar you twats!) has shown that the devs know Enslavers and Resurrection IV exist, so maybe he'll pop up as well.

-Yeah, I'm not too fond on the magistrate either, but then, it can't really be called inacurrate, so there is that (and as someone who's written for the magistrate in some stories, I tend to view him as an arsehole, so there is that). I admit my preference for a female UED captain is that it would give some gender equality in SC1/BW player characters. In light of what we know, we have two confirmed male (Artanis, Magistrate), two sexless (cerebrates), and possibly Selendis depending on how you view the Artanis/executor/praetor issue. But, even that aside, it would give us a female character among the UED's "boys only club," at least as far as characters go, if not units. That isn't a slight per se, but variety is the spice of life and all that.

-The idea of terran cults isn't a bad one actually - I'm kind of reminded of Pelagius, that his prophecized apocalypse has apparently been canceled, so he could have some angry followers. Depending on how far into the future we go, stuff like Moebius Corps fanatics or good ol' fashioned religious zealots could pop up. I don't think on the level of an outright faction, but maybe something the EU could explore.

-The idea of a Harbinger-esque scenario to herald the return of the UED wouldn't be bad, but then, I'm not sure about the UED returning at all, in a sense. On one hand, if we're continuing on from SC2 (or Evolution, as it's the latest point in the overall story), then the UED does make sense as a plot point to be addressed, even though I feel other ones could be exploited. Problem is, I think the UED would demand an SC3 or something on that level, and as you say, that ain't gonna happen for awhile...probably. We do know that Browder and Kim are working on a new project, and their RTS background would suggest the possibility of one, but it could just as easily be Warcraft IV, a new IP, or heck, even an Overwatch spin-off.

Not that those alternatives would be bad ideas mind you...
