StarCraft II: Wings of Liberty campaign quotations/Revolution Missions

Preamble
Tarsonis: Once the shining capital of terran space, Tarsonis now stands as a ravaged, sobering monument to the fallen Confederacy.

Horner: We've received reports of a new Dominion salvage operation on Tarsonis. They're running a large number of supply trains with minimal security.

Horner: If we intercept the trains and liberate their contents before they can be shipped off-world, we could make a serious profit.

Mission Briefing
Raynor: Never thought we'd be back to this graveyard again. What've we got, Matt?

Horner: The Dominion's restored power to the old rail network.

Horner: They're using the trains to move salvage to a central processing station. Our informants say the Dominion's found something unusually valuable - and they're transporting it to the processing station today.

Horner: It's on one of these trains - but unfortunately they're all scan-shielded so we can't tell which one. We'll have to hit as many as we can and hope we get lucky.

Raynor: 'Hope we get lucky?' That ain't the usual Matt Horner plan!

Horner: You got a better one, sir, I'm all ears.

Raynor: It's all good, Matt. You sold me. Well, let's go rob ourselves some trains. Ol' Tychus is gonna love this one!

After Mission
Horner: Sir, that adjutant we recovered is down in the lab. She's all powered up.

Raynor: Talk to me, you old piece of junk. What do you know?

Confederate Adjutant: User identified. Raynor. James. Ex-marshal, Mar Sara colony. Joined. Sons of Korhal terrorist group. Status. Criminal.

Raynor: Enough about me, darlin'. What else you got locked up in that synthetic head of yours?

Confederate Adjutant: User status. Criminal. Access denied.

Raynor: Playin' hard to get, huh? We'll see about that.

Conversation with Tychus Findlay
Raynor: Robbing a train again get ya' feelin' nostalgic?

Tychus: Damn straight. We musta hit the Shale Express a dozen times back in the day. (chuckles) [Happy] Ah, that caper never got old.[/Happy]

Raynor: Almost got us killed when they smartened up and started using outriders to chase us.

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.

Conversation with Ariel Hanson
Hanson: Jim, let me in. What really happened on Tarsonis? Whatever it was, I can see it tearing you up inside.

Raynor: 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...

Raynor: Our revolution began that day - the day Mengsk murdered a whole planet and called it justice.

Hanson: My God. Billions of innocent people. That's...that's just...monstrous. No wonder you hate him so much.

Conversation with Matt Horner
Horner: I've been looking for an encryption expert so we can access the adjutant we recovered. No luck so far.

Raynor: Colonel Orlan at Deadman's Port can crack anything... Haven't been back there in awhile. Say, didn't you end up gettin' married last time we were there?

Horner: I told you before - If I knew what the prize was, I never woulda' joined that card game!

Raynor: There's just something about a lovers' reunion that chokes me up.

Horner: (sighs)

Conversation with Rory Swann
Swann: Yeah yeah, good old days, robbin' trains, yadda yadda, bang bang. I'm making Diamondbacks!

Conversation with Gabriel Tosh
Tosh: Robbin' trains? We'll make a pirate out of you yet, Mister Raynor.

UNN Special Report
Vermillion: Ladies and gentlemen, each night I bring you the news in the most fair and balanced manner possible. But tonight I have a commentary.

Vermillion: Some have asked me what the difference is between our leader, Emperor Mengsk, and the traitor Jim Raynor. They point out that Mengsk rebelled against the government of his youth, and came to power through the use of violence and subversion. Why is it wrong for Jim Raynor to rebel in similar fashion?

Vermillion: There is a difference. When Emperor Mengsk began his revolution, there was no threat hanging over humanity. James Raynor is waging his revolution while we are at war with two alien races.

Vermillion: James Raynor, have you no conscience? Shouldn't you fall in line, putting your petty complaints aside as we struggle for humanity's very survival against this alien menace?

Raynor: Everyone's a critic...

Conversation with Rory Swann
Rory Swann: Those guffy mercs are still using vultures, can you believe it? Damn, those things are death traps. Even when you yank them people shoot at you. Jim Raynor: Careful, 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. Rory 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. But hey, who cares if it's a classic, right? Jim Raynor: No one likes a smart ass, Swann.

Conversation with Matthew Horner
Matt Horner: If Mira Han calls I'm... I'm just busy.

Conversation with Adjutant 23-46
Jim 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? Adjutant 23-46: Mengsk. Arcturus. Ex-Confederate officer. Civilian Prospector. Founder and leader of the Sons of Korhal terrorist group. Status. Criminal. Adjutant 23-46: Accessing intercepted transmission 0081 to 0086 Alpha. Adjutant starts playing some transmissions.
 * Edmund Duke: This is Duke. The Emitters are secured and online.
 * Sarah Kerrigan: Who authorized the use of Psi Emitters?
 * Arcturus Mengsk: I did, Lieutenant.
 * Sarah 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.
 * Jim Raynor: She's right, man. Think this through.
 * Arcturus Mengsk: I have thought it through, believe me. You all have your orders. Carry them out.

''Static. New transmission begins playing.''
 * Arcturus Mengsk: 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.

Adjutant stops playing transmissions. Jim Raynor: Holy... I can't believe it! We can nail Mengsk to the wall with this!

Dialogue with Tychus Findlay
Jim Raynor: Well, you fought real good out there, Tychus. Your time in the freezer didn't dull your edge none. Tychus Findlay: Well, fear and violence always did bring out the best in me. JIm Raynor: Have to admit, we always did make a good team. Tychus Findlay: Yeah, well - that was until I went to prison... and you went legit. Jim Raynor: Right.

Cinematic - Hearts and Minds
thumb|300px|right|Cinematic. Lee Keno: ... these shocking revelations... Screen switchs. Michael Liberty: ...a veritable firestorm of anti-Mengsk sentiment... ''Screen switchs. A image of Nova riding Horner can be briefly seen.'' Donny Vermillion: ... the Emperor held a news conference earlier today. Cut to Mengsk's conference room. News ticker text: +++ This is UNN with Kate Lockwell +++ Emperor Mengsk addresses Dominion +++ Emperor denies allegations +++ Zerg advance continues. Millions more dead +++ Emperor approval rating 14% a record low +++ This is UNN +++ Emperor Mengsk accused of inciting zerg invasion of Tarsonis +++ Reporter: Emperor, how do you respond to these allegations of genocide! Of using aliens to- Arcturus Mengsk: I assure you, these slanderous attacks against the throne are baseless and irresponsible! Kate Lockwell: Sir, do you still stand by the sentiment that selfless devotion to the people is the basis of your rule? Arcturus Mengsk: Well, of course! I was called upon to serve the greater interest of humanity! Personal power was never my goal! Kate Lockwell: Then how would you characterize these statements? Arcturus Mengsk: (recording) ... 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! ... ''People on the conference room make a surprise exclamation. Reporters begin to take photos on the Emperor.'' Arcturus Mengsk: (angry) I... I won't stand for this! You jackals think you can come in here and question ME?! This interview is over! Scene switchs to Hyperion's cantina, where Raynor and Horner have just seen the news. Jim Raynor: Y'know I love seeing him squirm, but the Dominion's just going to spin this like they do everything else. Matt Horner: Not this time. Mengsk used the media as a weapon for years, now we've turned it against him. One broadcast and it won us a bigger victory than a hundred battles. Jim Raynor: I guess you're right, well its what we started this revolution for in the first place... We've got a long way to go, but maybe we started something here. Matt Horner: Hearts and minds man, just like you always said. Jim Raynor: Y'know Matt, someday you're going to wind up leading this bunch of misfits. Matt Horner: Oh, no... that's what I keep you around for... sir. Jim Raynor: (laughs) Matt Horner: (laughs)

UNN News Dialogue
News ticker text: +++ Emperor Mengsk: I will rule this sector or see it burned to the ground around me +++ Emperor Mengsk: I will rule this sector or see it burned to the ground around me +++ Kate Lockwell: Kate Lockwell here, live from Korhal. There's rioting in the streets. Citizens are setting fire to government buildings to express their shock and anger at the startling revelations from earlier today! Donny, what's the situation where you are? Cut to Vermillion, in the Studio, looking stunned. Donny Vermillion: I had a brother on Tarsonis. I had a brother there! Um. I... um... Back on Lockwell. Kate Lockwell: Right. Thanks for that, Donny. Okay, Emperor Mengsk broadcast a statement earlier today. Unfortunately, UNN's satellites were on lockdown at the time. Let's replay a bit of that. Cut to Mengsk's conference room. Arcturus Mengsk: This evidence has been falsified! The enemies of the Dominion will go to any length to soil my good reputation! These ruthless, slanderous attacks cannot- Kate Lockwell: At that point the Emperor was shouted down. He's since retreated to his palace and refuses to speak to anyone. In this reporter's opinion, Emperor Mengsk has been revealed as a- Signal cuts out.

(If "A Sinister Turn" Has Been Played)
Jim Raynor: That thing down there, it... It was like the hybrid Zeratul fought. Matt Horner: Here? But how? Jim Raynor: Mengsk! It's always Mengsk! The end of the universe is coming and I should have known he'd be behind it! Matt 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...

(If "A Sinister Turn" Has Not Been Played)
Jim Raynor: What the hell is Mengsk playing at? Matt Horner: Creating his own alien super-soldiers by the looks of it. He's found a way to hybridize zerg and protoss somehow. Jim Raynor: Don't look like he's house-broken 'em yet. Least the lab's been trashed. Matt Horner: Yeah, but it was only one lab. Who's to say how many more he's set up?
