At the beginning of the Second Great War, Raynor's Raiders was hired by the Moebius Foundation to retrieve the components to a xel'naga device (secretly for Crown Prince Valerian Mengsk). The Foundation directed the Raiders to Typhon XI and the fourth component. The Tal'darim anticipated the move from previous encounters and were already dug in around the component when the terrans arrived. The operation assumed even greater urgency when the output of the local star jumped five hundred percent as a prelude for going nova. The planet surface was already being affected by massive firestorms. The Raiders had mere hours before the stellar event.
The Raiders cleared an initial base location with newly acquired Banshees. The terrans realized they could use their mobile structures to keep ahead of the firestorm. A large supply cache was established planet side precluding the need for supply depots. Once again the Tal'darim failed to stop the terran intruders. Raynor's Raiders kept a scheduled rendezvous with Moebius Foundation after Typhon XI. They were surprised to be met by Dominion battlecruisers, led by the imperial flagship Bucephalus. The Dominion ships took no hostile action, but Commander Jim Raynor ordered the Hyperion to latch onto the enemy flagship for a boarding action. Raynor expected Emperor Arcturus Mengsk to be aboard. However, having fought through the defenders, Raynor was surprised to confront the Emperor's son, Valerian, instead. The prince revealed his ownership of the Foundation and offered an opportunity to save Sarah Kerrigan.
Valerian explained the components formed a xel'naga device capable of making Kerrigan human again. Raynor accepted Mengsk's offer for an alliance. Captain Matt Horner and Tychus Findlay feared Raynor's personal feelings were leading them into a Dominion trap. These concerns were shared by other Raiders and doubts on Raynor's leadership began spreading...
The 18th mission (number may differ) of "Starcraft 2: Wings of Liberty" - "Supernova" on planet Typhon XI. And meeting with Valerian Mengsk. Watch more Starcraft videos: bit.ly/1b1W2yY.

"Valerian. We've come out of Hyperspace and have located Raynor's ship. It's on an intercept course. Should we hail them and let them know who we are?" "No. Allow them to board our ship and offer resistance as they fight their way to my quarters. There I will wait with my back turned to the door, hoping that Raynor will ask me to turn around instead of just outright shooting me, thinking that he's dealing with my father. Trust me. It will look awesome."

At first when I played WoL, I thought Valerian would have become another Mengsk. Honestly rather interesting how he turned into a rather compassionate leader. He obviously used the cunning of his father to get what he needed, and then turned it into benevolence.

everyone thought he was like his father fanfiction was filled with it

@stephenwood6663 2 года назад

As Arcturus once put it: "It does help that our enemies are greater tyrants than we are. Or ever intend to be." Valerian learned the lessons of Arcturus' career better than Arcturus did: one can garner a lot of public support from appearing to be a better option than the alternative. This is an easier task if you actually *are* a better option than the alternative.

@@stephenwood6663 Absolutely. In a way, this happens in real life, too; usually revolutions start by a single leader, and in effect that person is a dictator until they relinquish control (often after they set up a constitution and whatnot).

@girlgarde 9 месяцев назад

@@stephenwood6663 Valerian must've gotten his good side from his mother. Then again, Arcturus had good in him once but he allowed his hatred for the Confederacy for murdering his parents and sister as well as for nuking Korhal to corrupt him and turn him into a monster.

@TheEDFLegacy 4 года назад

Nah. It's a great way to force a face-to-face meeting. As someone else pointed out, had Valerian simply hailed him, Raynor would have thought it was a trap. Had Valerian put up a proper fight, Raynor would have likely died. But Valerian also know how much of a justice boner Raynor had to kill Mengsk, so by bringing Mengsk's flagship, he knew he could get what he wanted. Granted, that required balls of titanium. Kudos to Valerian. lol

Horner and Swann shouldn't have been angry and confrontational towards Raynor when advising him here as well as treating him like an idiot, Raynor only dug his heels in and didn't listen to them. They should've done what Dr Hanson does if she's still around by this point, express concern for Raynor's decision and calmly advise him against it or to at least be cautious which'll make him more likely to listen to them.

Very convenient how they have a presentation for "star surprisingly goes supernova and mission will be on fire".

@kxmode 3 года назад

Here's a perfect demonstration of how dumb video game writers tend to be. "Wait. What the?" "The star's energy output just jumped five hundred percent. I've never seen anything like it." "Slow down, man. What's it mean?" "It means the star will go nova in a few hours." Matt Horner would not have known the star would go nova, nor would he know it would in a few hours if he never saw anything like it. Instead, the dialog would have sounded more natural like this: "Wait. What the?" "The star's energy output just jumped five hundred percent. I've never seen anything like it." "Slow down, man. What's it mean?" "I don't precisely know. I'll have my people research. We'll know in a half-hour based on existing data. In the meantime, prep your men." And then, on the planet, he would inform them of the impending danger. That would have made the mission more nail-biting.

@hzhang1228 3 года назад

maybe by the time humans are colonizing the galaxy the knowledge would be space 101 information. not seeing in person does not equate to not having the knowledge, it's the whole point of the writing/teaching thing that we do. people can still be amazed at seeing something they have only heard/read about. "Here's a perfect demonstration of how dumb video game writers tend to be." words of the true intellectual.

@kxmode 3 года назад

@@hzhang1228 He said, "I've never seen anything like it," so he wouldn't have enough knowledge or information to know the star would go supernova, let alone in a few hours. This could be a rare star where a 500% energy output doesn't make the star unstable. It merely makes it hotter and more dangerous.

@hzhang1228 3 года назад

@@kxmode exclaiming "never seen anything like it" is to express awe and amazement. stars expanding in size and energy output before going nova is common knowledge today, one might safely assume it is covered in the most basic space for kids books by sc2's universe. you are now making up a specific scenario to defend this supposed plot hole, which is a pointless argument as anyone can make up specific scenarios that may not even be in realm of possibilities to justify anything. the more likely scenario would be w/e chart is displaying the 500% increase in output would also display indications calculated by AI. "He said, "I've never seen anything like it," so he wouldn't have enough knowledge or information" i have already explained in my previous reply that not seeing in person does not equate to not having the information. idk how you make that connection. you look at astronaut reacting to seeing earth and get that overview effect, some describe as never thought they could see something like it, some would cry and be in awe everything they look out the window. one could safely assume that these people have seen the earth before, that they know a thing or two about it; what makes those colors, lights ect but they still say i have never seen anything like it. once you are trying too hard to point out a plot hole/bad writing there is no plot hole/bad writing.
