Briefings[]

Mission 1-1[]

Briefing 1

Adjutant: Special Ghost Agent 12 - 862: designation, Nova. Receiving a priority one transmission from the command ship, Bucephalus. I have Colonel Jackson Hauler on Alpha Channel Nine.

Nova: Go ahead, I'm receiving.

Hauler: You made it just in time, Nova. Apparently, less than two standard days ago, this refinery suffered a massive explosion. Since then it's been pumping a volatile, unidentified gas into the upper atmosphere. We believe the alien Zerg were lured here by the gas itself. I want you to investigate what's left of the refinery and find out what you can about that gas. Odds are the explosion was no accident.

Nova:Understood, Colonel. I'll take care of it.

Hauler: Move quickly. The Zerg are wreaking havoc with our defense forces: if we can't contain the aliens, we may need to evacuate the planet post-haste.

Briefing 2

Nova: Adjutant, patch me through to the Bucephalus.

Adjutant: Alpha Channel Nine secure. Go ahead, Nova.

Nova: Colonel, from what I can gather, the gas that destroyed the refinery is called 'Terrazine'. The miners didn't know anything about it, but it seems there were two saboteurs here who did.

Hauler: Have you ID'd them?

Nova: Not yet, but I'll try to reestablish power so I can access the rest of the station's security logs.

Hauler: Understood. Encountered any Zerg yet?

Nova: Not directly, sir. But I am keeping my fingers crossed.

Hauler: Cute. Keep me posted. Hauler out.

Briefing 3

Nova: Damn, the entire grid's completely off-line. Adjutant, is it possible to reestablish power manually?

Adjutant: Negative. The direct routes to the power core were compromised during the explosion. However, station schematics point toward a secondary cooling conduit that runs between this building and the primary core. The conduit itself could provide access to the plant core.

Nova: Perfect. I'll check it out.

Briefing 4

Nova: Adjutant, patch me through to the Bucephalus.

Adjutant: I have Colonel Hauler on Alpha Channel Nine. Go ahead.

Nova: Apparently, sir, the two saboteurs were hired in the weeks prior to the explosion. Eyewitness reports suggest that the two had extensive military and demolitions training. It seems clear they were after samples of the Terrazine.

Hauler: Who were they working for?

Nova: Who else? They were KLF, sir. Intercepted transmissions suggest they were taking direct orders from a 'Cole Hickson'.

Hauler: Son of a bitch... I knew it was him! Hickson and his little rebel militia have been hounding the Dominion for months! Sooner or later we're going to have to put them down... For now, our immediate concern is the Zerg!

Nova: Your orders, sir?

Hauler: As long as the Terrazine keeps pumping into the atmosphere, the aliens aren't likely to budge. We'll need to destroy the gas pocket and erase any evidence that the Terrazine was ever here. I want you to access the station's main drilling rig and set it to overload. The resultant blast should vaporize what's left of the refinery and collapse that gas pocket for good.

Nova: Understood, sir. Consider it done.

Mission 1-2[]

Briefing 1

Adjutant: Nova, I have an incoming transmission from Colonel Hauler. Stand by.

Hauler: You've done well, Nova. But now that the Terrazine is shut off, the Zerg have become even more erratic. For the time being, I need you to support our defense forces on the ground. Chimera Base lies just over the ridge, and it's been taking a beating. Once you hit the ground, report to the forward post and see if you can help take some heat off.

Nova: No problem, sir. I've got it covered.

Briefing 2

Adjutant: Receiving transmission from the command ship, Bucephalus:

Hauler: Exemplary performance, Nova. You saved Chimaera Base and got our heavy armor onto the field. You just bought us the time we needed to mount a counter attack against the Zerg.

Warfield: Indeed. Colonel Hauler has always spoken very highly of you, Nova. Now I can see why.

Nova: Th - thank you, sir.

Hauler: Nova, this is my superior, General Horace Warfield. The General's here to oversee the offensive. For the time being, you'll be answering directly to him. Give him your best! Hauler out.

Warfield: Thanks to you shutting down that gas plume earlier, the Zerg halted their offensive. However, their primary hive cluster still represents a clear and present danger.

Warfield: Intel's pinpointed its location, but there are numerous Sunken Colonies preventing our ground forces from moving in. It's up to you to deal with those Colonies. Proceed to grid-site XR:104.1 and await further orders. Warfield out.

Briefing 3

Warfield: The armored column is making progress towards the hive, but we've discovered a new obstacle in our path: the Zerg have infested one of our mobile Command Centers and parked the damned thing right in the middle of the pass!

Warfield: I have Battlecruisers standing by that can flatten the structure with their Yamato Energy Cannons. However, the Spore Colonies surrounding the Command Center are preventing any ships from getting near it.

Nova: Understood, General. I'll take care of those colonies.

Mission 1-3[]

Briefing 1

Warfield: Brilliant work, Nova. Now the armored division can move in and surround that hive cluster. While I'm confident our guns can blast the Zerg to kingdom come, I'm giving you one last mission to ensure our total victory here.

Nova: Just name it sir.

Warfield: Our orbiting capital ships are armed with precision-point nuclear warheads. I want you to infiltrate the primary hive and call down a tactical strike within its heart.

Nova: I see. I'll have to time this perfectly or I'll be caught in the blast. Will I be moving in with the armored division sir?

Warfield: No, you'll be on your own. One of our recon squads discovered a secondary hive entrance through a nearby canyon system. Using a Goliath walker, you should be able to traverse the canyon with little difficulty. Once you reach the hive you'll be on foot.

Mission 2-1[]

Hauler: Ah, Nova. Right on schedule. General Warfield regrets that he was called back to Korhal before he could speak with you, but he wanted me to congratulate you on the success of your mission. I hope you're good and rested after the Mar Sara affair, because you're going to be spearheading our next offensive.

Nova: I'm ready for anything, sir.

Hauler: Good. Based on the evidence you found at the Borgo Refinery, intel's convinced that the KLF has stolen samples of terrazine, and is using them to conduct clandestine experiments from their hidden base. The KLF already poses a signifigant threat to the Dominion. We cannot risk them using the gas against us.

Nova: Understood. Do we know where they're hiding?

Hauler: We managed to track one of their ships that escaped from Mar Sara. It led us to the planet Vyctor 5, the site of an old Dominion research facility known as Pinnacle Base. Our forces are currently orbiting the planet, awaiting the order to strike, however, Pinnacle's automated defenses need to be taken out before the assault can begin.

Nova: So you need me to sneak in and unlock their front door for you. Sounds fun. When do we go?

Hauler: Provided you don't have any vacation plans, you'll be leaving within the hour.

Log 1

Miners’ Guild 301 - HR Log

2305-7-63

Had another class-7 fatality in the main drilling shaft today. Labor conditions are getting worse. I petitioned the Kel-Morian Combine to send us two new miners, so hopefully they'll arrive within the next week or so. Management's asked that we keep details of the incident under tight wraps.

Log 2

Miners' Guild 301 - HR Log

2305-7-70

Our two new miners finally showed up today. They weren't very personable, but their credentials were sterling. Could be nothing, but there was something different about those two. They seemed more like security personnel than miners. I'll inquire with the Combine after I file my formal report.

Log 3

Miners’ Guild 301 - HR Log

2305-7-83

Received another report that the new hires were found wandering through the high security areas again. I'm certain these guys were planted here - just can't figure out by who. My inquiries through Combine Personnel haven't brought up anything conclusive.

It might be time to contact Dominion Security Services directly.

Log 4

Dear Ma,

Well, nothing much is going on here. Same old grind, you know how it is. Two new guys showed up on my shift, but they ain't real friendly. Figure it's best to keep my distance and all. Keep sending the fruitcake. It's great. Say hey to pop.

- Buford

Log 5

Dear Betsy,

Little excitement today. We drilled into some kind of weird gas pocket I've never seen before. The foreman cleared us out before I could get a good look at it - but it definitely wasn't Vespene Gas. Remember those two new guys I told ya about last week? Well they showed up all of a sudden like we'd just struck gold or somethin.' Could be a bonus in our future! Keep your fingers crossed, baby.

- Stan

Log 7

Hey Bo,

Remember that weird gas pocket we dug into yesterday? Well, now management's sealed off the whole dig area! I'm not saying it's suspicious, but it sounds damn suspicious to me! Glad I'm short on time here. Just the other day Jesse swore he saw some Zerg crawling around the north storage tanks! I swear, man, people are going nuts around here.

- Luke

Borgo Security Log – 42.01

2305-7-88

Accident report: Today we had an unscheduled drill in sector six, exposing an anomalous gas. I had everyone evacuated from the immediate vicinity. I swear those new guys are going to get everyone killed! They walk around like they own the place. Whoever gave them level nine clearance should have his head examined.

Log 9

Borgo Security Log – 41.3

2305-7-82

Survey Results from Mine Shaft 6:

WRXroxor/01_28_04 Received results from anomalous gas sample:

2% - hydrogenous thermide

0.1% - oxygen

0.3% - carbon dioxide

97.6% - terrazine [!]

Due to the unstable nature and size of the cache of this terrazine gas - I recommend placing sector 6 under an immediate quarantine until we can get a neutralization team down there. Additionally, since the gas' discovery, there's been a three-fold increase in Zerg encounters so stay frosty!

Be careful, gentlemen. The call went out three hours ago. Dominion Marine Forces are en route!

Log 10

Borgo Security Log – 45.03

2305-7-11.93

We recovered some comm-disks from the new guys' bunks. Took us awhile to decrypt 'em, but the disks appear to be special instructions to sabotage the refinery and blow the terrazine pocket we discovered. These goons were sent here by a dude named Cole Hickson who runs some group calling itself the KLF. I don't know who this group is, but they've got a lot to answer for!

Log 11

030213 Personal Log

Can't believe we got stuck investigatin' this Zerg sphincter-hole. Waste of damn time, if you ask me! Intel's determined that heart of the hive is somewhere near the Spawning Pool - whatever the hell that is... Well, it'll take more than some slimy, alien bird-bath to stop us, that's for sure! Hey - wait... what was that? Did you hear something, Captain?

Log 12

030213 Personal Log

Our first encounter with the enemy was a disaster. Those critters were on top of us before we even knew what was happenin'. They killed six of our guys before skittering back into the shadows. The rest of us are proceeding with the mission and are about to enter the Nydus Canal. Wait, you boys hear that? They’re comin' back! It's on now!!! Blast 'em! Blast 'em! AIEEEEEEEEEEEEEE -- OH GOD MY LEGS!! DON'T LET 'EM EAT MY- - TRANSMISSION ENDS

02398 Medical Report

Captain Miller, here. Half the team has been killed by the xenomorphs. Spiegelman got ripped in half. Moore took it right in the spleen. My spleen isn't in good shape either, for whatever that's worth. I've ordered the men to leave me here to die and try to reach the heart of the hive themselves. God be with 'em... and me. --" TRANSMISSION ENDS

Log 14

232342 Personal Log

I'm the only one left. The Zerg've been toying with us the whole time. Figure they didn't want us killed - they just wanted us for incubation. I'm close to the Spawning Pool now, but my transceiver's out of commission. The mission's a complete wash. Whoever finds this recording - if you make it to the hive, beware of the... wait, what's that?" TRANSMISSION ENDS

Log 16

030213 Personal Log

-- I'd love to meet the genius who designed these turret emplacements with the calibration terminals on the EXTERIOR. What a swell idea THAT was. Every time something goes wrong, I have to climb up top in the wind and rain to fix it. One of these days I'm going to blow over the edge.

Log 18

030213 Personal Log

-- I can't believe how many living ZERG specimens we currently have in this facility. Without SThoms, the Overlord, we'd have no way to control all of them. We need more security in this area.

Log 19

030213 Personal Log

-- I could really do without all of the added security in this sector. With all of the checkpoints, I spend half of my lunch break just GETTING to the mess hall. It would probably take me less time to get around if I went everywhere through the vents.

Log 20

030213 Personal Log

-- That scientist who runs LABORATORY C--what's his name? He's very...peculiar: Always looking over his back, muttering to himself, sweating profusely. Of course, spending a lot of time around these ghastly ZERG creatures can have a strange effect on the mind.

Game Script 1[]

In-Game Briefing Text[]

1_1_1_BRIEFINGTEXT01 Roger that, Lieutenant. Unfortunately, we're fresh outta nukes, so if you don't find us a way around that position we're fragged!

1_1_1_BRIEFINGTEXT02 Roger that, Lieutenant. Now, listen up! Command's sent word that there's a bridge in your vicinity! I want you to high-tail it and verify its location!

1_1_1_BRIEFINGTEXT03 Well don't just stand there--back him up! And find me that damned bridge!

1_1_1_BRIEFINGTEXT04 What's your status, Lieutenant? Have you found my bridge?

1_1_1_BRIEFINGTEXT05 Well that's just- Lister, get up dammit! (beat) Don't let them through-

1_2_1_BRIEFINGTEXT01 Without Missile Turrets we don't stand a chance of removing the Overlords and stopping that rush. A ladder at the end of this trench will take you to a cover position, get there and I'll send out an SCV to repair the Turret.

1_2_1_BRIEFINGTEXT02 The Zerg have cut the power supply to our perimeter fence. You'll have to hold off the rush with the Gauss Turret until we can get it repaired.

1_2_1_BRIEFINGTEXT03 Now move to the second Gauss Turret and use it to clear a path for the SCV. Get moving, Lieutenant! Surface troops report a group of Mutalisks is en route to your position.

1_2_1_BRIEFINGTEXT04 The Mutalisks are on your doorstep, Lieutenant - protect that SCV at all costs!

1_2_1_BRIEFINGTEXT05 The battlefield is littered with burrowed Zerg. Use the Zipline to descend to the Missile Turret to avoid any burrowed units near the front lines.

1_2_1_BRIEFINGTEXT06 Our Comsat Station is back online. Calldown Comsat sweeps to detect and avoid burrowed enemies, and advance to the abandoned bunker.

1_2_1_BRIEFINGTEXT07 Now get to high ground and target the Overlord for an Irradiate strike. 1_2_1_BRIEFINGTEXT08 Move closer to the Marines and Calldown Comsat sweeps so they can target the Lurker.

1_2_1_BRIEFINGTEXT09 The Marines should be able to defend this tunnel if you can get them inside. Override the door controls by hacking the system.

1_2_1_BRIEFINGTEXT10 The door opening isn't big enough for a Marine suit. Slip through, and make your way to the power terminal at the opposite end of the tunnel. Take care to be stealthy, Lieutenant - :e 1_2_1_BRIEFINGTEXT11 Get to high ground and target the target Spore Colony for Yamato Strike so that the air units can take out the Sunken Colonies.

1_2_1_BRIEFINGTEXT12 Good work, Lieutenant. Now, I want to know what happened at that refinery. Find out all you can and report back to me, personally.

1_2_1_BRIEFINGTEXT13 Roger that, Lieutenant. Continue surveillance. Get within range and scan them for identity checks.

1_2_1_BRIEFINGTEXT14 We've received your upload, Lieutenant. Good work. Our Intel confirms that these men are rebels who've sworn to bring down the Dominion. We haven't been able to catch up to them until now. (beat) Terminate them, Lieutenant… with extreme prejudice.

1_2_1_BRIEFINGTEXT15 Your… failure will be overlooked this time, Lieutenant. You'll have another chance to prove your worth presently…

1_2_1_BRIEFINGTEXT16 Nova, the Zerg have overtaken the station's central Command Center and infested the Op crew. (Sighs) Those men are lost. I want you to draw as many Zerg as possible to their location… and Nuke them all.

1_2_1_BRIEFINGTEXT17 I've sent an SCV to carry a Psi- Emitter to the center of the station. The emitter will act as a beacon and attract the Zerg to you. Further information about the emitter can be accessed via your Data-log.

1_2_1_BRIEFINGTEXT18 Once the emitter's in place, you'll need to proceed to a point inside the blast radius where you'll paint the target and call down the nuke. Once that's done you'll need to hightail it to a minimum safe distance. Remember, EVERYTHING not outside the safe-zone will be atomized when that nuke hits… including you.

1_2_1_BRIEFINGTEXT19 It's up to you now, soldier. Protect that SCV at all costs. Hauler out.

1_3_1_BRIEFINGTEXT00 I've sent an SCV to carry a Psi-Emitter to the center of the station. The emitter will act as a beacon and attract the Zerg to you. Further information about the emitter can be accessed via your Data-log.

1_3_1_BRIEFINGTEXT01 Be careful out there, Lieutenant. The Refinery is coming down on the Zergs' heads already, a few carefully placed explosives should help things along. Get moving and I'll update your objectives as necessary.

1_3_1_BRIEFINGTEXT02 Within range of an Overlord your Cloak will be ineffective, Lieutenant - avoid them at all costs, or your ability to remain covert will be compromised.

1_3_1_BRIEFINGTEXT03 The SCV won't be able to slip past the Overlord unaided, Lieutenant. Science Vessel Magellan is now in range for calldown support, get to a safe position and upload target coordinates for an Irradiation strike.

1_3_1_BRIEFINGTEXT04 That pipe hangs by a thread, Lieutenant - shoot the thread to bring it down and get across the chasm.

1_3_1_BRIEFINGTEXT05 The Zerg have used the heater core below you to incubate their eggs. Override the terminal to open the hatch and get below. I'll upload coordinates for an optimal charge position to your HUD now.

1_3_1_BRIEFINGTEXT06 Proceed to the coordinate location, and plant the charge. Take care not to stand near any egg for too long, Lieutenant - the hatchlings will sense your alien presence and may hatch prematurely.

1_3_1_BRIEFINGTEXT07 Take care where you walk, Lieutenant - that thick organic matter in front of you is called 'Creep'. It is a biological lifeline for the Zerg, providing nourishment for developing their organisms. It is also alive, and can alert other Zerg your presence.

1_3_1_BRIEFINGTEXT08 Nova, that maintenance shaft is perfect. Problem is, the door's locked - you'll have to go around and open it for me.

1_3_1_BRIEFINGTEXT09 Another nest - you know what to do, Lieutenant. Stand by for coordinate upload.

1_3_1_BRIEFINGTEXT10 One last charge should do it, Lieutenant. Get inside this nest while I upload coordinates for the charge location.

1_3_1_BRIEFINGTEXT11 Nova, these vents are still active. I'd make it through ok but the Emitter circuitry's too fragile.. you'll have to find a way to disable it.

1_3_1_BRIEFINGTEXT12 That pipe could provide adequate cover for the SCV, if you can bring it down to his level. Do you follow, Lieutenant?

//1_3_1_BRIEFINGTEXT01 I ain't goin' nowhere with that Overlord watchin'. Get rid of it, an' I'll meet you over by that door.

//1_3_1_BRIEFINGTEXT02 This maintenance shaft is perfect. Problem is, door's locked: you'll have to go around and open it.

//1_3_1_BRIEFINGTEXT03 These vents are still active, I'd make it through ok but the Emitter circuitry's too fragile.. you'll have to find a way to disable it.

//1_3_1_BRIEFINGTEXT04 That Muta's gonna make me his supper if you don't think of somethin' fast.. I'll be waiting in that there pipe.

//1_3_1_BRIEFINGTEXT05 -eellp! Heeelllp!! The Zerg got me! Heel-

1_3_3_BRIEFINGTEXT01 Once the emitter's in place, you'll need to proceed to a point inside the blast radius where you'll paint the target and call down the nuke. Once that's done you'll need to hightail it to a minimum safe distance.

1_3_3_BRIEFINGTEXT02 Remember, EVERYTHING not outside the safe-zone will be atomized when that nuke hits. It's up to you now, soldier. Protect that SCV at all costs. Hauler out.

1_3_3_BRIEFINGTEXT03 Move your ass, soldier! The Zerg'll be down on you any minute! Get to the crow's nest and call down that nuke!

1_3_3_BRIEFINGTEXT04 Nova, you're still within the blast radius! Avoid the Zerg and get the hell out of there!

2_2_2_BRIEFINGTEXT00 We're reading you, Lieutenant. Now pay attention - you must continue your mission at ALL costs. The rebels are nearly inside, and you won't be able to handle them alone. Your only option is to retrieve the samples yourself.

2_2_2_BRIEFINGTEXT01 Under no circumstances are you to reveal yourself to base personnel. Any one of them could be working for Hickson. Your primary objective is to retrieve those samples! Command out.

2_2_2_BRIEFINGTEXT02 You'll need to Lockdown that camera to make it through the door undetected. Lockdown rounds are fired from the Canister Rifle while in Sniper View. Press White to enter Sniper View, {B} to fire a round.

2_2_2_BRIEFINGTEXT03 Security doors only allow functioning Marine suits in and out. Stun the Marine and drag him into the airlock to get inside. Command out.

2_2_2_BRIEFINGTEXT04 The hangar is equipped with an automatic fire-suppression systems for emergencies like this. Use your Sight ability to find your way to the master control panel and override the system.

2_2_2_BRIEFINGTEXT05 Now descend into the airshaft near the stairs. The fog emission system will have retracted so your way is clear.

2_2_2_BRIEFINGTEXT06 A control panel at the far end of this corridor manages the refueling for hangar ships. Start the refueling process, and await further orders.

2_2_2_BRIEFINGTEXT07 Now enter the Dropship and fire the engines. The fuel line will ignite, giving you a few seconds to escape before the Dropship itself explodes. The hangar's automatic fire-suppression system will then take over.

2_2_2_BRIEFINGTEXT08 Underneath the hangar platform is a ventilation shaft - follow it to the crew area, and make your way to the lounge. From there your path should be clear, all personnel should be occupied with base defenses.

2_2_2_BRIEFINGTEXT09 The data I need should be somewhere in this lounge. Find it quickly, Lieutenant!

2_2_2_BRIEFINGTEXT10 Well done, Lieutenant - now Lockdown that camera and get out of here before more crew arrives.

2_2_2_BRIEFINGTEXT11 A ventilation duct directly above you leads into the elevator shaft. From inside you should be able to get onto the elevator and override its controls.

2_2_2_BRIEFINGTEXT12 Excellent work. Now override the elevator controls to descend to the warehouse area. 2_2_2_BRIEFINGTEXT13 Schematics show a control room at the far end of this storage area manages the hangar's lift hydraulics. Raise the lift, and you should be able to access the main ventilation shaft.

2_2_2_BRIEFINGTEXT14 Perfect! Now we'll find out what Hickson is up to. Sneak onto the elevator platform and learn everything you can about the Koprulu Liberation Front's interest in Pinnacle Base.

2_2_2_BRIEFINGTEXT15 There should be a hatch on the floor of the Armory to allow Marines a hasty exit. Override the controls to open it and descend.

2_2_2_BRIEFINGTEXT16 Your Sight ability will help you identify unseen security risks. Make sure to reserve some energy for finding these threats.

2_2_2_BRIEFINGTEXT17 These Turbines must have a circuit box somewhere on the base. Find it, and use your Lockdown rounds to immobilize the blades.

2_2_2_BRIEFINGTEXT18 An access panel on the side of the shaft houses controls for the bridge. Extend it to enter the labs area.

2_2_2_BRIEFINGTEXT19 Well done, Lieutenant - now get across that bridge and find my Terrazine!

2_2_3_BRIEFINGTEXT20 Nova, Intel has identified the traitor aiding Hickson. He's a scientist, working inside the lab at your twelve o'clock. He is an enemy of the Dominion and must be eliminated.

2_3_1_BRIEFINGTEXT01 Roger that, Nova. Your primary objective is to retrieve that canister! Hickson's probably heading to the Lockston Terminal through the underground rail tubes. Follow him, and I'll send an evac unit to intercept you.

3_1_1_BRIEFINGTEXT20 We have an emergency situation here, Nova. The Protoss have discovered one of our… Intel operations here on Aiur. They've made it clear that we are not welcome.

3_1_1_BRIEFINGTEXT21 Cloaked Protoss forces have our troops are pinned down at the center of the Gantrimoss Crater. The aliens' Photon Cannons are keeping our air support at bay. You must destroy the energy pylons that power those cannons so we can give our boys some cover!

3_1_1_BRIEFINGTEXT22 The insertion team will drop you off behind the Protoss lines for a standard hit-and-run. Science Vessel Magellan and the Battlecruiser Antietam are on standby for calldown assistance. Hauler out.

3_1_1_BRIEFINGTEXT00 Our understanding of Protoss culture is limited. They appear to possess extremely advanced technology, including warp-gate manipulation, energy shield generation and the ability to power structures with a Psionic Matrix.

3_1_1_BRIEFINGTEXT01 The aliens consider this place sacred, hallowed ground. The Zerg once invaded Aiur, and would have assimilated the planet had a Protoss warrior not sacrificed himself to destroy the Zerg Overmind near this spot.

3_1_1_BRIEFINGTEXT02 Protoss deploy invisible detectors called Observers, floating survey drones equipped with complex sensor arrays that will disrupt your Cloak. Use Sight to identify these detectors before entering an area, and avoid them at all costs.

3_1_1_BRIEFINGTEXT03 Protoss communicate telepathically, through a psychic link they all share. Their religion, The Khala, strengthens this bond and allows them to communicate over vast distances. Take care not to alert them to your presence, Lieutenant.

3_1_1_BRIEFINGTEXT04 These ruins were uncovered in the battle between the Zerg and the Protoss. They may even pre-date the Protoss on Aiur. Our scientists are studying the ruins now, hoping to uncover a weakness.

3_1_1_BRIEFINGTEXT05 The first Photon Cannon battery should be in view momentarily, Lieutenant. Be cautious - the Cannons have a detection field that will disrupt your Cloak, and their shields are too powerful for you to take down alone.

3_1_1_BRIEFINGTEXT06 Energy Pylons provide Psi to the Photon Cannons: disable the Pylon, and the Cannons are neutralized. Science Vessel Magellan is now in orbit over your position, providing EMP support for disabling the shields.

3_1_1_BRIEFINGTEXT07 Excellent teamwork. Magellan, proceed to coordinates Bravo Two Zero - I need your assistance there. Lieutenant, I want you to scan the Pylon for any possible weaknesses.. and exploit them.

3_1_1_BRIEFINGTEXT08 Perfect - the Photon Cannons are useless until the Protoss can get another Pylon built. See if you can override the Photon Cannon controls and set them to self destruct. I'm sending in a Marine unit to support your position.

3_1_1_BRIEFINGTEXT09 The next Pylon is across the river from your current position, near some ancient temple structures. While our forces try to take the bridge, you should be able to slip around in the confusion and find an alternate route.

3_1_1_BRIEFINGTEXT10 The Battlecruiser Antietam will soon be in position for Yamato support. Clear out this area with everything you've got, when you're finished I'll send another Marine unit to hold that position.

3_1_1_BRIEFINGTEXT11 I've moved the fleet into position, Lieutenant - you now have full Battlecruiser support. Target Yamato strikes to eliminate any opposition, and clear this area for another drop. Hauler out.

3_1_1_BRIEFINGTEXT12 Nova, you've got to buy us more time. The Protoss are using a Gateway to warp in additional forces - take care of it.

3_1_1_BRIEFINGTEXT13 Warheads are being armed as we speak. Make your way to the strike zone and contact me when you're in position. Hauler out.

3_1_1_BRIEFINGTEXT14 Roger that, 862. We've got targets locked.

3_2_1_BRIEFINGTEXT00 Nova, that Protoss Arbiter has locked our Nuclear Silo in a stasis field. What can you do about it?

3_2_1_BRIEFINGTEXT01 Roger that. You'll need to commandeer a Goliath to reach the crater's edge. Get moving, Lieutenant!

3_3_3_BRIEFINGTEXT20 Adjutant, this is Colonel Jackson Hauler. I am overriding the target coordinates for that nuke. Stand by while I upload the new target coordinates.

3_3_3_BRIEFINGTEXT21 Coordinates received, Colonel. New target verified.

4_2_2_BRIEFINGTEXT01 Since there is no existing map of the canals' layout, there is no way to discern which path leads to Hauler's refinery. Therefore, I advise that we separate and begin exploring them all. Whoever reaches the facility first will contact the others.

4_2_2_BRIEFINGTEXT02 Sari'jal, I bear ill tidings.. our brother Khandalor has fallen, fighting a threat I have never before seen. Be wary, my brethren.. Adun Toredas, Khandalor.

4_2_2_BRIEFINGTEXT03 These Terrans also wanted to uncover Hauler's secret.. the Koprulu Liberation Front precedes us on Char. Be wary, Sari'jal.

4_3_1_BRIEFINGTEXT01 Nova, the Refinery will be guarded by Hauler's elite, your former Ghost brethren. Beware their laser sights from unexpected locations, and take care to avoid the Automated Science Drone sentries.

4_3_1_BRIEFINGTEXT02 The main Terrazine source is located underneath the lava flow: Hauler is collecting the gas as it emits from the geysers and drawing it into the Refinery above. Find your way onto the platform.

4_3_1_BRIEFINGTEXT03 The robotic arm appears to manage the flow of Terrazine into the Refinery. Overridden, it could be used to disrupt the harvesting caps and sabotage the mining process.

4_3_1_BRIEFINGTEXT04 En Taro Adun, Nova - Hauler will harvest no more Terrazine today. Now make your way inside the Refinery itself, those open vents should provide a safe route.

4_3_1_BRIEFINGTEXT05 The living quarters are directly above you now. Hauler may be there. Use your Lockdown weapon and Speed ability to get through this Engine Room and search for him.

4_3_1_BRIEFINGTEXT06 Nova, the bellows above you pressurize the Terrazine so it can be stabilized for transport. Get inside via the Refinery roof.

4_3_1_BRIEFINGTEXT07 These pistons are forcing Terrazine into the chamber below. You must find a way to sever the cables that hold them.

4_3_1_BRIEFINGTEXT08 The Control Area lies ahead. Follow the flow of Terrazine to it, the rest of us will meet you there shortly.

5_4_1_BRIEFINGTEXT00 We will have to find an alternate method of escape. Seek out the decontamination chambers, and I will locate Hauler's Terrazine stores. En Taro Tassadar… Nova

5_4_1_BRIEFINGTEXT20 I'm reading you, Nova. These Protoss instruments aren't as confusing as they seem. Now let's see here... Yeah, they're pumping huge amounts of Terrazine into those tanks. These Specters appear to be at the second stage of treatment. The more advanced specimens must be held in a different chamber.

5_4_1_BRIEFINGTEXT21 Nova, your vital signs are freaking out. you're running out of time, darlin'. You've got to find the decontamination area soon.

5_4_1_BRIEFINGTEXT22 That's it, Nova! Now just get it started, and climb inside.

5_4_1_BRIEFINGTEXT23 …Nova, are you reading me? (beat) You've got to get back to Zangakkar, NOW!

6_2_1_BRIEFINGTEXT01 Nova, get the hell out of there! Use that empty pod to escape!

6_2_1_BRIEFINGTEXT02 What the hell are you DOING?? Get out of there while you still can!

6_2_1_BRIEFINGTEXT03 Hang in there, Nova. I'm working on this damned teleporter. I'm gonna' get you out of there!

6_2_1_BRIEFINGTEXT04 Nova, whatever Zangakkar did to that Terrazine, it's blasting the whole place apart. Hauler's asteroid's about to go up in flames! Hold tight, I've got a fix on your coordinates. I just have to figure out this warp-transfer thingamajiggy…

Script Text[]

1_1_DISEMBARK_SACKER01 (Sacker) On the double, Marines!

1_1_DISEMBARK_SACKER02 (Sacker) Alright ladies listen up! We're about twenty clicks south of our intended drop, and the number of hostiles between here and the base is not in our favor!

1_1_DISEMBARK_SACKER03 (Sacker) The bad news is… the situation at the base is even worse. Now I want all of you to-

1_1_DISEMBARK_LISTER04 (Lister) Sergeant - eleven o'clock!

1_1_CLIMB_SACKER01 (Sacker) Keep it tight! Don't waste a single round!

1_1_CLIMB_LISTER02 (Lister) Ammo won't last forever, Sarge!

1_1_CLIMB_SACKER03 (Sacker) You there - Ghost, I need a recon sweep, pronto! Find us the safest, quickest route to that base!

1_1_CRAWL_NOVA01 (Nova) Marauder One, I've spotted a force of about twenty Zerg scattered around my location. I estimate odds of ambush at about eighty six percent.

1_1_CRAWL_NOVA03 (Nova) Marauder One, I've found a cleaner route. Lock onto my coordinates and I'll guide you in.

1_1_CRAWL_NOVA05 (Nova) Roger that, Marauder One. Ghost out.

1_1_SNIPE_NOVA01 (Nova) Marauder One, I've sighted a Dominion Firebat engaged with hostile Zerg. Requesting permission to intervene.

1_1_BRIDGE_NOVA02 (Nova) That's affirmative, Marauder One. But your bridge has been blasted apart.

1_1_CLOAK_SACKER01 (Sacker) Watch out for those Overlords, Lieutenant. You're not invisible when they're around.

1_1_ZERGATTACK_SACKER01 (Sacker) It's no good, the servos have been fused.

1_1_ZERGATTACK_NOVA02 (Nova) There might be another way inside. Sergeant, with your permission?

1_1_ZERGATTACK_SACKER03 (Sacker) Be my guest, Lieutenant. We're running out of options!

1_1_HAULER_HAULER01 (Hauler) You're late, Sergeant.

1_1_HAULER_SACKER02 (Sacker) Yes sir, my men-

1_1_HAULER_HAULER03 (Hauler) Save it! Take over the forward position and see if you can keep the damned Zerg off our doorstep. Lieutenant, fall in!

1_1_HAULER_HAULER04 (Hauler) Covert Tactical Agent-12-862, codename: Nova, trained: Tarsonis Ghost Academy. Combat service record flawless.

1_1_HAULER_NOVA05 (Nova) Yes Commander.

1_1_HAULER_HAULER06 (Hauler) I picked you, Lieutenant, because you're the best, and I demand nothing less. Omega Squadron is the top of the food chain. We operate autonomously and answer to no one save the emperor himself.

1_1_HAULER_NOVA07 (Nova) I won't disappoint you, sir.

1_1_HAULER_HAULER08 (Hauler) Pray you don't. If you screw up out there - we're dead. Those aliens - the Zerg - are lethal, tireless, and outnumber us a hundred to one.

1_1_HAULER_NOVA09 (Nova) Understood. What are my orders?

1_1_HAULER_HAULER10 (Hauler) Two days ago, one of our refineries uncovered a deep pocket of an unknown, volatile gas that blew the facility sky high. Almost immediately, the Zerg began swarming all over the place.

1_1_HAULER_HAULER11 (Hauler) Our forces have been scattered, decimated by the Zerg. We need time to regroup, and you're going to buy us that time…

1_2_REFINERY_NOVA01 (Nova) Command, I've spotted a heavily armed group holding off the Zerg from inside the refinery. With the hardware they're using, they couldn't be miners. From the looks of them, they're definitely not Dominion soldiers either.

1_2_FREE_NOVA01 (Nova) Command, one of the rebels has escaped in a Wraith-

1_2_FREE_PEEWEE07 (Peewee) Uh..howdy.

1_3_ULTRALISK_PEEWEE01 (Peewee) Eyyyewww.. somebody call an exterminator.

1_3_ULTRALISK_NOVA02 (Nova) Command, there's some activity down here. I may have found survivors-

1_3_ULTRALISK_PEEWEE03 (Peewee) Screw THIS!

2_1_MISSION_HAULER01 (Hauler) Thanks to our intelligence personnel, we now believe the explosion at the Mar Sara refinery was the work of a group of saboteurs, led by this man…

2_1_MISSION_HAULER02 (Hauler) ...Cole Hickson. He and his rebels, known as the Koprulu Liberation Front, have haunted our operations for months. The KLF are elusive, highly organized and very dangerous.

2_1_MISSION_HAULER03 (Hauler) We believe their next move will be an attack on this Science Facility, located within an enormous atmospheric anomaly known as the Fujita Pinnacle.

2_1_MISSION_HAULER04 (Hauler) Inside the facility, scientists are studying the volatile gas uncovered on Mar Sara. They call it 'Terrazine'. The KLF plans to steal this gas and use it to overthrow the Dominion.

2_1_MISSION_HAULER05 (Hauler) Intel suggests that someone inside Pinnacle is helping Hickson plan his attack, but we still don't know who. If the base is alerted to our presence, Hickson will scrub the mission and we'll lose him.

2_1_MISSION_HAULER06 (Hauler) Therefore, we will remain in orbit until the rebels begin their attack. A covert team will then be inserted via dropship, through the funnel itself. Suit up, soldiers. Let's make this one count.

2_1_MISSION_GRAHAM01 (Marine) I got a bad feelin' about this one. They're sure sendin' us into the meat grinder this time.

2_1_MISSION_JONES02 (Marine) This ain't gonna' be no stand-up fight. Y'all know we're just coverin' for her.

2_1_MISSION_DROPSHIPPILOT03 (Pilot) All right team, hold on to your butts… we're going in.

2_1_MISSION_DROPSHIPPILOT04 (Pilot) Shit! Hostile bogey at three o'clock! Prepare for evasive maneuvers!

2_1_MISSION_DROPSHIPPILOT05 (Pilot) I can't hold her! Eject! Eject!

2_2_LAND_NOVA01 (Nova) Oof-

2_2_LAND_NOVA02 (Nova) Command, this is Nova. Insertion attempt here is negative - I think I'm the only one left.(beat) Command, do you read me?

2_2_LAND_NOVA04 (Nova) Roger that, Command. What about the scientists?

2_2_SCIENTIST_NOVA02 (Nova) Roger that, Command.

2_2_MEET_HICKSON01 (Hickson) So… you're the one causing such a ruckus around here.

2_2_MEET_HICKSON02 (Hickson) You out of your mind? You have any idea how volatile this stuff is? What if you missed?

2_2_MEET_NOVA03 (Nova) I never miss.

2_2_MEET_HICKSON04 (Hickson) No, I guess you don't... At least, you didn't miss any of my men back on Mar Sara.

2_2_MEET_HICKSON05 (Hickson) And now your boss has sent you here to kill me. For what? To keep a lid on the existence of this… Terrazine.

2_2_MEET_HICKSON06 (Hickson) What's Hauler using this stuff for? Why would he go so far to hide it from the Dominion?

2_2_MEET_NOVA07 (Nova) You think I'm that naive? I've been briefed about you and your little band. The KLF would use this gas to overthrow the Dominion.

2_2_MEET_HICKSON08 (Hickson) Is that what you've been told? (snorts) You're supposed to be able to read minds, right? Well then read mine. Tell me what kind of monster I am.

2_2_MEET_HICKSON09 (Hickson) What, no comment? What a joke. Why don't you ask your boss what's really going on? Hell, who am I kidding, you'll never remember this conversation anyway. I assume it's still standard protocol to wipe a Ghost's memories after every mission.

2_2_MEET_HICKSON10 (Hickson) Nice. Pretty slick there, honey.

2_2_MEET_HICKSON11 (Hickson) Stasis must be wearing off. Good thing you couldn't pull the trigger.

2_2_MEET_HICKSON12 (Hickson) Or maybe you chose not to. There may be hope for you yet, darlin'. (turns head towards door) Oh shit...

2_2_MEET_MARINE13 (Marine) Central, we're closing in on them! They're in lab sector 5! 2_2_MEET_HICKSON14 (Hickson) Time to plug this snake-hole...

2_2_MEET_HICKSON15 (Hickson) Chew on this: if I was one of the bad guys, I'd have killed you the first chance I had, just to settle the score for my men. (beat) See ya' around, Ghost.

2_3_VULTURE_NOVA01 (Nova) Command, Hickson managed to escape with a single canister of the Terrazine. I've tracked him through the facility's lower levels. I'm now approaching some sort of docking station.

2_3_VULTURE_NOVA03 (Nova) Copy that, Command.

3_1_CONFRONT_HAULER01 (Hauler) Entering a superior's quarters without permission is a severe lapse in protocol, Lieutenant! (beat) I'm waiting for your explanation.

3_1_CONFRONT_NOVA02 (Nova) I have.. questions, Commander. Hickson confronted me at Pinnacle Base… I read his thoughts and they didn't indicate betrayal at all. In fact-

3_1_CONFRONT_HAULER03 (Hauler) It's a wonderful talent, the ability to read thoughts. Why don't you read mine now?

3_1_CONFRONT_HAULER04 (Hauler) As long as you draw breath your role is not to question, but to obey. I SAY - you DO. Do not question me again, Lieutenant.

3_1_CONFRONT_HAULER05 (Hauler) Science officer! This unit's memory should have been wiped hours ago! Get on it! Make sure her new Moebius Reactor is working properly; she'll need it for her next mission.

3_1_CONFRONT_SCIENTIST06 (Scientist) But, but sir, her memory was wiped when we brought her back in - just as you requested. Perhaps her resistance is a side-effect of the Terrazine injections...

3_1_CONFRONT_HAULER07 (Hauler) That would be interesting... and unfortunate. Re-wipe her memories and report back to me!

3_1_CONFRONT_SCIENTIST08 (Scientist) Yes sir.

3_1_CONFRONT_ARTEMIS09 (Ghost) The Protoss have discovered our refinery on Aiur. They've already begun their attack.

3_1_CONFRONT_HAULER10 (Hauler) The Terrazine stores must be preserved at all costs. I have a contingency in place, but it is strictly last-resort.

3_1_PYLONS_NOVA02 (Nova) Roger that, Command.

3_1_PYLONS_DAVIS06 (Marine) So I says, 'Get it? I'm a Protoss!'

3_1_PYLONS_GLOVER07 (Marine) Protoss? I heard o' them - never seen one up close, though.

3_1_PYLONS_SACKER08 (Sacker) You'll get your chance soon enough, Private. We're about to drop on Aiur, the Protoss homeworld.

3_1_PYLONS_GLOVER09 (Marine) Their abandoned homeworld, right Sarge? At least that's what I heard. They're supposed to have weird mental powers… kinda' like Hauler's freak squad. Damn, those spooks give me the creeps.

3_1_PYLONS_SACKER10 (Sacker) Leave it alone, Private.

3_1_PYLONS_SACKER11 (Sacker) Give em hell, Lieutenant.

3_1_INSTRUCTIONS_NOVA02 (Nova) Roger that, Command. What's the status on our nukes?

3_1_PYLONSDOWN_NOVA01 (Nova) Air support, this is Ghost Operative 12-862. The last Pylon is down. Those Photon Cannons are all yours!

3_2_SILOMISSION_NOVA02 (Nova) I'll have to get within line of sight to attempt a Lockdown. If I can reach the far edge of the crater, I should be able to get a bead on that Arbiter.

3_2_DISMOUNTGOLIATH_SOLARA01 (Dark Templar) The Terrans' reckless pursuit of Terrazine puzzles me, Zangakkar. It does not bode well for our people.

3_2_DISMOUNTGOLIATH_ZANG02 (Zangakkar) The answer lies here, I am certain of it. We will continue our observation from afar.

3_3_NUKE_SOLARA04 (Dark Templar) She is dead, Zangakkar.

3_3_NUKE_ZANG05 (Zangakkar) No, Solar'a: her spirit wanders - but still she clings to life. This human could provide us with answers to this mystery. If she recovers, her knowledge would be invaluable.

4_1_LEARN_ZANG01 (Zangakkar) Awaken… and remember.

4_1_LEARN_NOVA02 (Nova) What is… happening to me?

4_1_LEARN_ZANG03 (Zangakkar) The Neural Inhibitors implanted in your brain were burned away by the nuclear blast. Your memories - held in check for so long - are returning. (beat) Though I fear, not all of those memories will be pleasant.

4_1_LEARN_NOVA04 (Nova) Where am I? Who are you?

4_1_LEARN_ZANG05 (Zangakkar) You are in the regen-chamber of my ship - the Void Seeker. I am Zangakkar, elder of the Sari'jal tribe.

4_1_LEARN_NOVA06 (Nova) You're Protoss... a Templar. (beat) My enemy. Why didn't you just kill me on Aiur?

4_1_LEARN_ZANG07 (Zangakkar) We are Dark Templar. Your war with our… estranged kin does not concern us. What does concern us is your pursuit of a rare element called 'Terrazine'. It is… sacred to our people.

4_1_LEARN_ZANG09 (Zangakkar) Terrazine is powerful, unpredictable. It affects all life forms in different ways. But when your kind is subjected to it - the outcome is unavoidably fatal.

4_1_LEARN_ZANG10 (Zangakkar) Your master, Jackson Hauler, has been mining Terrazine from sites all over this sector. After securing the Terrazine found on Mar Sara, he attempted to recover his stores on Aiur. Fortunately, our Templar brethren drove him back before he could claim them.

4_1_LEARN_ZANG11 (Zangakkar) You were nearly dead when we found you on Aiur. But now, your rehabilitation is almost complete.

4_1_LEARN_ZANG13 (Zangakkar) Unfortunately, you do have a terminal condition that we cannot cure. Our examinations revealed that your central nervous system is saturated with Terrazine.

4_1_LEARN_NOVA14 (Nova) I retrieved a few samples from Pinnacle Base, but those were all secure- 4_1_LEARN_ZANG15 (Zangakkar) No. The saturation level is far too severe. You have had prolonged exposure to the gas. It is likely that you've been receiving Terrazine treatments for some time.

4_1_LEARN_SCIENTIST16 (Scientist) Perhaps her resistance is a side-effect of the Terrazine injections… 4_1_LEARN_HICKSON17 (Hickson) Why don't you ask your boss what's really going on?

4_1_LEARN_ZANG18 (Zangakkar) Once Terrazine begins to break down cellular structures, there is no way to reverse its effects. I fear that you've escaped certain death only to fall under its shadow once again.

4_1_LEARN_NOVA19 (Nova) Why would Hauler inject his soldiers with Terrazine if he knows it will kill them? It doesn't make any sense. (beat) How much time do I have?

4_1_LEARN_ZANG20 (Zangakkar) In human terms, you have just under twenty hours to live. (beat) When you are ready, we will deliver you to a destination of your choosing.

4_1_LEARN_ZANG22 (Zangakkar) As Sari'jal, it is our duty to maintain balance throughout the universe. Therefore we will seek Hauler out and insure that he causes no further harm with the Terrazine.

4_1_LEARN_NOVA23 (Nova) If Hauler did this to me, then there's a chance that he can undo it. At any rate, I have nothing to lose by trying.

4_1_LEARN_ZANG24 (Zangakkar) Then it seems our paths are entwined, young one. For now.

4_1_LEARN_ZANG25 (Zangakkar) Behold - Char - the molten nesting ground of the Zerg swarm. We tracked a group of Dominion troops to this planet.

4_1_LEARN_ZANG26 (Zangakkar) I sense your apprehension. You are troubled.

4_1_LEARN_NOVA28 (Nova) You try waking up one day to find that your whole life has been a lie. I have no idea how many deaths I'm responsible for… how many lives I've taken to further someone else's psychopathic schemes. (beat) I don't know if I want all my memories back.

4_1_LEARN_AURAKHAN29 (Aura'Khan) We have found him. Hauler's shuttle is approaching the planet.

4_1_LEARN_NOVA30 (Nova) Why would he risk coming to Char of all places?

4_1_LEARN_ZANG31 (Zangakkar) Pure tenacity. He seeks the hidden stores of Terrazine beneath the planet's molten crust.

4_1_STARTRAPPEL_ZANG01 (Zangakkar) Our great Prelate, Zeratul, discovered the Terrazine deposits when he was on this world. Purportedly, he reached the cavern by trekking through a series of Zerg Nydus Canals.

4_1_STARTRAPPEL_ZANG02 (Zangakkar) We know that Hauler has built a subterranean refinery to mine the Terrazine. It is so heavily guarded, entering it from the surface will be impossible. The winding nydus canals are our only way in...

4_1_STARTRAPPEL_NOVA03 (Nova) I sense a "but" coming.

4_1_STARTRAPPEL_ZANG04 (Zangakkar) Since there is no existing map of the canals' layout, there is no way to discern which path leads to Hauler's refinery. Therefore, I advise that we separate and begin exploring them all. Whoever reaches the facility first will contact the others. Now, let us go. En Taro Tassadar!

4_2_SARIJALX_ZANG01 (Zangakkar) I have considered what you said earlier Nova, about your past. I can only imagine how unbalanced you must feel.

4_2_SARIJALX_ZANG02 (Zangakkar) For Sari'jal, the quest for balance is valued above all things; balance within, and balance throughout the universe. Our way is to walk the path of shadow. If it becomes necessary to take a life, all emotion must be put aside. Anger, hatred, vengeance… these imperfections must be burned from a true warrior's spirit.

4_2_SARIJALX_ZANG03 (Zangakkar) When your spirit is balanced, at the instant of the kill - there is no right or wrong - there is only… the reckoning.

4_4_PRISONER_NOVA01 (Nova) Hmm. You've looked better. Looks like I missed all the fun.

4_4_PRISONER_HICKSON02 (Hickson) What-? Well I'll be damned. If it isn't… uhh... Ah, hell...

4_4_PRISONER_NOVA03 (Nova) The name's Nova.

4_4_PRISONER_HICKSON04 (Hickson) Nova, huh? Well, I'm Hickson. I thought you Ghosts weren't supposed to have names - too much emphasis on the individual. Besides that - shouldn't your memory have been wiped by now?

4_4_PRISONER_NOVA05 (Nova) Let's just say I've resigned from the Dominion. As a result, I am once again in control of my faculties. Now, the real question is - what are you doing here?

4_4_PRISONER_HICKSON06 (Hickson) How do I know this isn't just some kinda' trick?

4_4_PRISONER_NOVA07 (Nova) You don't. But, if I was the heartless Ghost you thought I was - I'd just rip the information straight from your head, wouldn't I?

4_4_PRISONER_HICKSON08 (Hickson) Point taken. I'll talk, but first you've got to get me outta' here.

4_4_PRISONER_NOVA09 (Nova) Why should I?

4_4_PRISONER_HICKSON10 (Hickson) Because I'm one of the good guys, Damnit! And though you may be in control of your faculties, you're NOT in control of the Terrazine coursing through your system.

4_4_PRISONER_NOVA11 (Nova) How could you know that?

4_4_PRISONER_HICKSON12 (Hickson) I've done my homework, honey. I may be able to help you, but first you gotta' free me. The controls to this thing are in the guard tower outside.

4_4_FREE_NOVA01 (Nova) Okay, where are your men?

4_4_FREE_HICKSON02 (Hickson) They… didn't make it. It's just me.

4_4_FREE_NOVA03 (Nova) I'm sorry.

4_4_FREE_HICKSON04 (Hickson) That's something I never thought I'd hear from a Ghost. Look, we gotta' split before one of those Spectres comes back.

4_4_FREE_NOVA05 (Nova) Spectres? We're not going anywhere until you tell me-

4_4_FREE_VULCAN06 (voice offscreen) PUT DOWN YOUR WEAPON AND RETURN WITH ME FOR RE-PROCESSING. THOSE ARE THE COMMANDER'S ORDERS.

4_4_FREE_HICKSON07 (Hickson) Careful… that's one of 'em. Real head case.

4_4_FREE_NOVA08 (Nova) I no longer work for Hauler.

4_4_FREE_VULCAN09 (Vulcan) VERY WELL THEN… YOU ARE THE ENEMY.

4_4_DARKARCHON_AURAKHAN01 (Aura'Khan) Solar'a!

4_4_DARKARCHON_AURAKHAN02 (Aura'Khan) I give the last… of my energy… to you. You know… what to do. KHANO DOR AMUN.

4_4_DARKARCHON_SOLARA03 (Solar'a) Khano Dor Amun.

4_4_DARKARCHON_DARKARCHON04 (Dark Archon) WE ARE AS ONE.

4_4_DARKARCHON_DARKARCHON05 (Dark Archon) DARKNESS OVERPOWERING

4_4_DARKARCHON_VULCAN06 (Vulcan) Auuughhghhhh...

4_4_DARKARCHON_NOVA07 (Nova) Move your scaly ass!

4_4_EXPLODE_NOVA03 (Nova) This is for Aura'Khan and Solar'a.

4_4_EXPLODE_VOIDSEEKERCOMP04 (Computer) ...Zwarja, Ahkla, Nix...Kholis

5_1_ASTEROIDBASE_HICKSON03 (Hickson) Our last batch of Intel confirmed that Hauler maintained decontamination tanks for the scientists and techs exposed to the gas. There’s a chance the tanks could reverse Terrazine’s effects.

5_1_ASTEROIDBASE_ZANG04 (Zangakkar) Our time grows short. Do you know where Hauler is now?

5_1_ASTEROIDBASE_HICKSON05 (Hickson) The ships carting off his Terrazine from Char were all short-range craft. He must be close by.

5_1_ASTEROIDBASE_ZANG07 (Zangakkar) There is a large asteroid on the planet's dark side emitting enormous amounts of thermal energy. I'll scan it for wave signals...

5_1_ASTEROIDBASE_HICKSON08 (Hickson) It could be a base. But how could he have set up shop so close to Char?

5_1_ASTEROIDBASE_NOVA09 (Nova) He couldn't. If it is a base, it'd have to have its own warp engines...

5_1_ASTEROIDBASE_ADJUTANT10 (Adjutant) I repeat, this is Gehenna Station. All units return for immediate departure.

5_1_ASTEROIDBASE_ZANG11 (Zangakkar) I'll bring us closer.

5_1_ASTEROIDBASE_HICKSON12 (Hickson) Look, we can't just rush in there alone. Hauler used the Terrazine's properties to create three superhuman Ghosts. He calls them 'Spectres'. That floating brain on Char was one of them.

5_1_ASTEROIDBASE_HICKSON13 (Hickson) The Terrazine treatments have made them highly resilient, but they require a constant supply of the stuff just to function. Our Intel suggests that without it, they'd die within hours.

5_1_ASTEROIDBASE_NOVA14 (Nova) I've heard that theory before. Still, a handful of Specters doesn't account for how much Terrazine he's been mining. What's he doing with the rest of it?

5_1_ASTEROIDBASE_HICKSON15 (Hickson) That I don't know. But I do know it's crazy for us to go in there without at least a battalion to back us up.

5_1_ASTEROIDBASE_NOVA16 (Nova) You're not going anywhere. I want you to stay on board and track that asteroid if it goes to warp.

5_1_ASTEROIDBASE_HICKSON17 (Hickson) No way. I've lost too many friends to sit this one out- (grunts painfully as he tries to move)

5_1_ASTEROIDBASE_NOVA18 (Nova) I know you have - but you're in no condition for this. We need you here, Hickson.

5_1_ASTEROIDBASE_ZANG19 (Zangakkar) She speaks the truth, human. You are not fit enough to assist us. (beat) We should go now. The Terran Dropship will provide us means of transport to the asteroid.

5_1_ASTEROIDBASE_HICKSON22 (Hickson) Great. Well, at least I'm not entirely useless. I've got stolen access codes that should get you inside their perimeter without a hassle. (he looks at Nova) Give that bastard a kick in the ass for me.

5_1_ASTEROIDBASE_ZANG23 (Zangakkar) We will have to find an alternate method of escape. Seek out the decontamination chambers, and I will locate Hauler's Terrazine stores. En Taro Tassadar... Nova.

5_1_SNIPERINTRO_ARIES01 (Aries) Welcome home, little sister. Have you come to reclaim your lost identity? We were all lost once. But Hauler found us - and made us more than we were. He made us powerful.

5_1_SNIPERINTRO_NOVA02 (Nova) You serve him without question - like a mad dog cowering at his master's feet. Well, brother, I've come to put you down.

5_4_PODS_NOVA01 (Nova) Hickson, I don't know if you're reading this, but we found what Hauler's doing with the rest of the Terrazine. He's bred an army of Spectres! They're being kept on ice in some kind of… cryonic pods.

5_4_PODS_ZANG04 (Zangakkar) Hickson is right, Nova. You must go. We can escape in these two empty pods. While you are gone, I will set this system to overload. The resultant explosion should insure that Hauler's twisted creations die with him.

5_4_ARTEMIS_NOVA02 (Nova) Thanks Hickson. I couldn't have done this without you.

5_4_ARTEMIS_ARTEMIS03 (Artemis) Well, well. I never understood what the commander saw in you. Still, I must admit, you've proven to be quite resilient - even with the Terrazine in your veins slowly killing you. Of course, all you have to do to save yourself… is get through me.

5_4_ARTEMIS_NOVA04 (Nova) You asked for it...

5_4_HAULER_ZANG01 (Zangakkar) Z'aghash Khul'inah.

5_4_HAULER_NOVA04 (Nova) No.

5_4_HAULER_HAULER05 (Hauler) What, Nova - you'd risk yourself to avenge a fallen friend? (beat) I thought I taught you better than that.

6_2_HAULERDEFEAT_HAULER01 (Hauler) Show yourself, little Ghost.. Let's finish this.

6_2_HAULERDEFEAT_NOVA02 (Nova) You missed it, Colonel. It's already over.

6_2_HAULERDEFEAT_HAULER04 (Hauler) I'm not done yet, girl… Still… one hand… left to play… My Spectres… will assure… my legacy.

6_2_HAULERDEFEAT_NOVA05 (Nova) Know this: if any of them do escape, I'll hunt them to the ends of the universe. Your legacy… is as good as dead.

6_2_HAULERDEFEAT_ZANG06 (Zangakkar) Nova… when you were… reawakened, all you cared about… was saving your own life. But your spirit… proved true. You have taken… your first steps… towards balance. Therefore… my psi-blade… is now yours. May you never brandish it without reason; may you never extinguish it without honor.

6_2_HAULERDEFEAT_NOVA07 (Nova) I will carry it proudly, always.

6_2_HAULERDEFEAT_ZANG08 (Zangakkar) Your path… will be long and arduous... But… you will find peace… and balance… amidst the dark… between the stars.

6_2_HAULERDEFEAT_HICKSON010 (Hickson) I did it! Are you, uh… all in one piece?

6_2_HAULERDEFEAT_NOVA11 (Nova) I seem to be…

6_2_HAULERDEFEAT_HICKSON012 (Hickson) Well, you look good. I mean, you look alright... I - I mean you look healthy... 6_2_HAULERDEFEAT_NOVA13 (Nova) Hickson?

6_2_HAULERDEFEAT_HICKSON014 (Hickson) Yeah?

6_2_HAULERDEFEAT_NOVA15 (Nova) Get us the hell out of here.

6_2_HAULERDEFEAT_HICKSON016 (Hickson) You got it, darlin'.

Game Script 2[]

Briefing Text[]

1_1_1_BRIEFINGTEXT01 Press A to jump.

1_1_1_BRIEFINGTEXT02 Press L-TRIGGER to crouch.

1_1_1_BRIEFINGTEXT03 Look around your environment for other things to interact with.

1_1_1_BRIEFINGTEXT04 Press X to enter sniper view and look for a lockdown circuit. Press B to fire a lockdown round at the circuit and stop the exhaust fan.

//1_1_1_BRIEFINGTEXT01 Roger that, Lieutenant. Unfortunately, we're fresh outta nukes, so if you don't find us a way around that position we're fragged!

//1_1_1_BRIEFINGTEXT02 Roger that, Lieutenant. Now, listen up! Command's sent word that there's a bridge in your vicinity! I want you to high-tail it and verify its location!

//1_1_1_BRIEFINGTEXT03 Well don't just stand there--back him up! And find me that damned bridge!

//1_1_1_BRIEFINGTEXT04 What's your status, Lieutenant? Have you found my bridge?

//1_1_1_BRIEFINGTEXT05 Well that's just- Lister, get up dammit! (beat) Don't let them through-

1_1_1_INGAME_CONV01 Traitor: I'm a traitor, and I suspect an operative will be sent to kill me.

1_1_1_INGAME_CONV02 Captain: Fine, I'll post more security... I hope a Ghost doesn't come out of that crate over there or you're as good as dead.

1_1_1_INGAME_CONV03 Whatever, lets leave this area so that any assassins have to spend a lot of time tracking me down.

1_1_1_INGAME_CONV04 That may sound like a good idea now, but during that time they might hone their skills...

1_1_1_INGAME_CONV05 ...becoming more efficient at stealth and killing.

1_1_1_INGAME_CONV06 Hah, not likely. Lets go.

1_1_1_INGAME_CONV07 Traitor: Did anyone ever tell you that you look just like Jackson Hauler?

1_1_1_INGAME_CONV08 Captain: Shut up.

1_1_1_POPUP_CONV01a I'm communicating with you via neural link. I thought you might like to know that.

1_1_1_POPUP_CONV02a You can be more silent by walking and crouching instead of running.

1_1_1_POPUP_CONV03a You can also survey the area by moving the right controller stick.

1_1_1_POPUP_CONV04a There's some enemies here, but even if they detect you they can't warn anyone cause their AI won't allow it. This is fortunate for you, newbie.

1_1_1_POPUP_CONV05a You should sneak up behind them and silent kill them using the B button.

1_1_1_POPUP_CONV06a I'll tell you more when you're done.

1_1_1_POPUP_CONV10a Nova, I've detected a script trigger event. It seems as though an AI will come through the door to engineering and begin walking a patrol path exactly 10 seconds after this conversation ends. You should probably hide.

1_1_1_POPUP_CONV11a You should try sneaking up on this guy with cloak when he shows up... hit left on the D-Pad to activate it. Make sure you stay quiet though, since you still make noise when cloaked.

1_1_1_POPUP_CONV20a I've been unable to locate your target, he must be somewhere heavily fortified. Fortunately, searching for him will give you some time to hone your skills and become more efficient at stealth and killing.

1_1_1_POPUP_CONV21a You'll need to go to engineering and hack into the mainframe to find out which quarters have been retrofitted with security recently.

1_1_1_POPUP_CONV22a Conveniently enough, the door that last guy came through was previously locked, but now it's open AND it leads to engineering! Fate smiles upon you this day, Nova.

1_1_1_POPUP_CONV30a You'll need to lockdown that pesky laser forcefield using the lockdown feature of your rifle. Hit Y to access your rifle.

1_1_1_POPUP_CONV31a Once you've done that, pan around until you see the lockdown circuit. Your occular implants will call it out for you when your crosshair is over it.

1_1_1_POPUP_CONV32a After that, hit B to fire the lockdown round.

1_1_1_POPUP_CONV40a This door is locked, but I bet that vent to the left of it leads right into engineering. Walk up to it and hit A to open it, then hit L-Trigger to crouch and go inside.

1_1_1_POPUP_CONV50a You'll need to be extra careful not to get detected here Nova, the AI on these techs allows them to call in alarms if you're spotted. Letting that happen could cause a mission failure.

1_1_1_POPUP_CONV51a You might find yourself cloaking a lot in this area. Press and hold Down on the D-Pad to recharge your psi.

1_1_1_POPUP_CONV60a Now hack that console there so that we can find out where the traitor is. Use the Shoulder buttons while hacking to change the 1s and 0s.

1_1_1_POPUP_CONV70a Be extra careful around cameras Nova, they can detect you and set off an alarm. Some of them can even see through your cloak.

1_1_1_POPUP_CONV71a Fortunately, they take a second to lock on and identify their targets. Your best bet is to avoid their detection fields, or lock them down before proceeding.

1_1_1_POPUP_CONV80a You should always hide the remains of your handywork. Look around for a vent, and drag this guy in there using the R-Trigger.

1_1_1_POPUP_CONV90a You'll automatically grab only interactable objects like pipes and ladders. Press A to dismount.

1_1_1_POPUP_CONV100a According to the maintenance logs there have been security modifications to the captains quarters near the bridge.

1_1_1_POPUP_CONV101a You should proceed there at once. It looks like the only for you to get there is via the upper cargo hangar.

1_1_1_POPUP_CONV102a There should be a corridor leading there from the upper deck of engineering.

1_1_1_POPUP_CONV103a To review the maintenance logs, and any other logs, press Start and access the Database.

1_1_1_POPUP_CONV110a You'll want to be careful about setting off a base alarm with so many heavily armed soldiers nearby. It could be deadly.

1_1_1_POPUP_CONV111a Stealth Kills are usually the safest bet, but sometimes distance kills are necessary. To arm your sniper rifle, first go into gun mode by hitting Y.

1_1_1_POPUP_CONV112a Once in gun mode, press R3 to enter Sniper mode. Once in this mode, you can zoom in and out by moving the left analog stick up and down.

1_1_1_POPUP_CONV113a You can also lean around corners by moving the left analog stick left and right. 1_1_1_POPUP_CONV114a Most enemies are vulnerable to head shots. Make sure your shot is lethal or they will take cover and call in an alarm.

1_1_1_POPUP_CONV115a You should also pay close attention to where the body of your target is going fall. If another patrolling guard sees a corpse he'll call in an alarm.

1_1_1_POPUP_CONV121a You will be able to hang on some wires, pipes, and beams. Use the beam above you to navigate across the hangar.

1_1_1_POPUP_CONV130a Once hanging you will usually be able to transition from the bottom to the top of the object by hitting B.

1_1_1_POPUP_CONV140a You can also snipe while hanging by pressing Y while on a wire. Try sniping that guard near the vending machines.

1_1_1_INGAME_CONV10 Grunt 1: Reporting for protection detail, threat level has been confirmed as high.

1_1_1_INGAME_CONV11 Sarge: Good, head to the upper deck and report to the Captain for further instructions.

1_1_1_INGAME_CONV12 Grunt 1: Roger that.

1_1_1_INGAME_CONV13 Sarge: I want you two to secure this area. I'll be on patrol, checking up on you periodically.

1_1_1_INGAME_CONV14 Grunts: Yes sir!

1_1_1_HACK_OPTION01 Access Maintenance Logs

1_1_1_HACK_OPTION02 Disable Engineering Security Doors

1_1_1_HACK_OPTION03 Purge Warp Core

1_2_1_BRIEFING_CONV01 Nova, I have an incoming transmission from Colonel Hauler. Stand by.

1_2_1_BRIEFING_CONV02 You've done well, Nova. But now that the terrazine is shut off, the zerg have become even more erratic. For the time being, I need you to support our defense forces on the ground. Chimaera Base lies just over the ridge, and it's been taking a beating. Once you hit the ground, report to the forward post and see if you can help take some heat off.

//1_2_1_BRIEFING_CONV02 You’ve done well, Nova. But now that the terrazine is shut off, the zerg have become even more erratic.

//1_2_1_BRIEFING_CONV03 For the time being, I need you to support our defense forces on the ground. Chimaera Base lies just over the ridge, and it’s been taking a beating.

//1_2_1_BRIEFING_CONV04 Once you hit the ground, report to the forward post and see if you can help take some heat off.

1_2_1_BRIEFING_CONV05 No problem, sir. I've got it covered.

SF121ANova04 I'm too far away to help those boys out. I better hot-tail it to the forward post and see what I can do from there.

SF121ANova05 I'm here to help, sergeant. What's happening?

SF121AMarineB06 Special Ops, huh? Well, the zerg are hammering the north sector of the base. Our boys down there are trying to reinforce the lines, but these damn overlords keep dropping zerglings on top of 'em! Why don't you dial up a call-down and irradiate the damn thing?!!

SF121ANova07 You got it.

1_2_1_POPUP_CONV70a To initiate a calldown, first enter gun mode and select your rifle.

1_2_1_POPUP_CONV71a Now move your crosshair over your target.

1_2_1_POPUP_CONV72a Now press and hold B to bring up the calldown targetting system.

1_2_1_POPUP_CONV73a I have no idea how to describe what you're supposed to do next. It has something to do with the arrows, and the r-trigger.

1_2_1_POPUP_CONV74a Great Job! You get a gold star!

1_2_1_POPUP_CONV10a Where you think you're goin’? Get over there and help!

1_2_1_POPUP_CONV11b Keep your shirt on, soldier.

1_2_1_INGAME_CONV01 (Bubba) She for real? I never seen one of 'em up close before.

1_2_1_INGAME_CONV02 (Jack) Ghost's are no joke, buddy. I hear the government messes with their genetics and such. Makes 'em more efficient killers.

1_2_1_INGAME_CONV03 (Bubba) Woah. I hope we didn't piss her off or anything.

1_2_1_POPUP_CONV20a There's a stockpile of ammo and such just 'round the bend, there. Help yourself to it. It's the least we can do.

1_2_1_POPUP_CONV21b Thanks. Don't mind if I do.

1_2_1_POPUP_CONV30a Damn, those boys need help quick! That Overlord's dropped zerglings right on top of 'em! You gotta' do something fast!

1_2_1_POPUP_CONV31b Not a problem.

1_2_1_INGAME_CONV10 (Sarge) All right boys, let's move! We gotta reach the north gate and help our buddies!

1_2_1_INGAME_CONV11 (Fred) Real impressive, miss. But our boys need more help down there!

1_2_1_INGAME_CONV12 (Nova) I'm already gone.

1_2_1_POPUP_CONV40a I can't let you go down there! With those damn Overlords dropping zerg all over the place, I can't risk letting any get up here!

1_2_1_POPUP_CONV41b I'll take care of it.

1_2_1_INGAME_CONV20 (Sarge) All right, boys, this is it! Squad six – Over here! Man those positions!

1_2_1_INGAME_CONV21 (Sarge) We're going to retake the north sector or die trying! Move! Move! Move!

SF121AMarineSgt23 Watch your back out there. Some of the Zerg got past our guns and started creepin' through the trenches.

SF121ANova24 Where can I find the C.O., Sergeant?

SF121AMarineSgt25 There's a service ladder at the end of the trench network. That should take you straight to him.

SF121ANova26 Thanks for the tip. Be careful.

1_2_1_POPUP_CONV55a Hell, it's gettin' crazy out there. Fella'd be out of his danged mind to step into that hornets' nest. Yeah... I'll just wait here.. wait here for my buddies to come get me... Damn hornets' nest is what that is...

1_2_1_BATTLE_WARNING Nova! Stay back until we've cleared the entire area. A stray round could take you out at any second.

SF121ALtStrepp34 (Lt. Strepp) Ah, 'bout time our back-up got here!

SF121ALtStrepp35 (Lt. Strepp) A few minutes ago, that Nydus Canal erupted from the ground and started spilling Zerg all over us!

SF121ALtStrepp36 (Lt. Strepp) Their initial attack damaged the Armory door. I've got six Siege Tanks in there that can take that Canal out with ease! But unless that SCV can get that blasted door open, we're good and screwed!

SF121ALtStrepp37 (Lt. Strepp) That Auto-Cannon will help you hold off the Zerg rush. Get moving, soldier.

SF121ANova38 (Nova) Yes, sir.

1_2_1_POPUP_CONV60a The damn frame's bent! This could take some time…

1_2_1_POPUP_CONV61a I'm about halfway there. Just keep those critters off'a me!

1_2_1_POPUP_CONV62a I'm almost done! Just hold 'em off a few more seconds…

SF121ASCV42 (SCV) Repair's complete! We're good to go!

SF121ALtStrepp43 (Lt. Strepp) Open the armory! Roll 'em out!

SF121ALtStrepp44 (Lt. Strepp) Outstanding! Now those zerg will get what's comin' to 'em!

SF121ALtStrepp45 (Lt. Strepp) All right - move those tanks out! The can is open, my friends - let the whoop-ass flow forth!

1_2_1_BRIEFINGTEXT10 I'm too far away to help those boys out. I better hot-tail it to the forward post and see what I can do from there.

1_2_1_BRIEFINGTEXT15 Special Ops, huh? Well, the Zerg are hammering the north sector of the base. Our boys down there are trying to reinforce the lines, but these damn Overlords keep dropping Zerglings on top of 'em! Why don't you dial up a call-down and Irradiate the damn thing?!!

1_2_1_BRIEFINGTEXT20 Where do you think you're goin'? Get over there and help! 1_2_1_BRIEFINGTEXT21 Damn, those boys need help quick! That Overlord's dropped zerglings right on top of 'em! You gotta' do something fast!

1_2_1_BRIEFINGTEXT22 Damn, those boys need help quick! That Overlord's dropped zerglings right on top of 'em! You gotta' do something fast!

1_2_1_BRIEFINGTEXT23 Get across the battlefield and man that gun! We need to get that tank back online!

1_2_1_BRIEFINGTEXT50 Nova, Intel has issued a cautionary warning regarding the canyon pass. They're tracking a number of fluctuating mutagenic signatures in the vicinity.

1_2_1b_POPUP_CONV0a (Nova) General, I've reached the grid-site. From this vantage point, I can identify every sunken colony in the valley. Over.

1_2_1b_POPUP_CONV1b (Warfield) Excellent, Nova. Our siege tanks are in position to blast those colonies to hell – but they'll need you to spot for them. Once you've initiated the call-down, the armored division will proceed through the valley.

1_2_1b_POPUP_CONV2a (Nova) I read you, sir. I'll take care of it.

SF121BWarfield12 (Warfield) Phase one complete, Nova. You've done well. Now, proceed to grid-site XR:307.6 for phase two.

SF121BNova13 (Nova) Roger that.

1_2_1b_POPUP_CONV5a (Nova) General, I've reached the second grid-site. Awaiting orders.

1_2_1b_POPUP_CONV6b (Warfield) The siege tanks have moved into position, Nova. You can begin spotting for them at any time.

1_2_1b_POPUP_CONV7a (Nova) Commencing, sir.

SF121BWarfield17 (Warfield) Expertly done, Nova. I see why Hauler values you so much. Switch over to alpha channel seven and I'll brief you on the next phase of our push.

1_2_1b_POPUP_CONV9a (Nova) Adjutant, I think I just killed an infested Marine! Can the Zerg spores warp armor and weaponry as well?

1_2_1b_POPUP_CONV10b (Adjutant) Unknown. You'd best be careful, Nova. There's no telling how our technology might be effected by the Zerg.

1_2_1b_POPUP_CONV11a (Nova) General Warfield, this is Nova. I've found a small infested base camp just north of the Command Center. Shall I proceed as planned, sir?

1_2_1b_POPUP_CONV12b (Warfield) You're the only one within range, Nova. Once those Spore Colonies have been taken out, the Battlecruisers will be able to cleanse the entire area. Until then, you'll have to watch out for infested personnel.

SF121BNova24 (Nova) General, it seems your Spore Colonies have had an accident…

SF121BWarfield25 (Warfield) Well done, Nova! The Battlecruisers are already moving into firing position. Atmospheric conditions are scrambling the ships’ targeting computers, so you’ll have to spot for the Yamato Cannons as well. Proceed to grid-site... XR: 756.2. You'll be able to paint the Command Center from there.

SF121BNova26 (Nova) On my way. Nova out.

1_2_1b_POPUP_CONV16a (Nova) General, it looks like they're making a run for it!

1_2_1b_POPUP_CONV17b (Warfield) Paint it quickly, Nova! Order the call-down NOW!

1_2_1b_POPUP_CONV18a (Warfield) Those 2 SPORE COLONIES are the last barrier to the BATTLECRUISERS. Take them out with impunity Lieutenant!

1_2_1b_POPUP_CONV19b (Nova) Copy, Gold leader. I'm already on my way out.

1_2_1_BRIEFINGTEXT51 Lieutenant! Calldown SEIGE TANK STRIKES on those Zerg installations! We've got to bring the fight to them if we're going to advance our ground forces.

1_2_1_BRIEFINGTEXT51a Great work, Nova. Our forces further up the canyon need more of your help. Keep moving up to provide calldown support.

1_2_1_BRIEFINGTEXT52 SEIGE TANKS are in position, Lieutenant. Take out those SPORE COLONIES with impunity.

1_2_1_BRIEFINGTEXT52a Excellent, Lieutenant. Up ahead are the last Zerg forces preventing the approach of the SS Venerable Monk. Destroy them to make way for YAMATO STRIKES. BAAAAM!!!!

1_2_1_BRIEFINGTEXT53 Lieutenant, there is a pair of SPORE COLONIES down in the canyon preventing the approach of the BATTLECRUISER. Take them out, and the SS Venerable Monk will provide Yamato support.

1_2_1_BRIEFINGTEXT54 The Venerable Monk is in range, Lieutenant. Fire at will.

1_2_1_BRIEFINGTEXT55 Clear out those last 2 SPORE COLONIES Lieutenant!
