Duran's Speech in 'Dark Origin'

he is teh leet graphix design0r

 

What if it turns out that the Xel-Naga are like older, super advanced humans who have mastered ways to live for thousands of years and be all extra pwnage, and the terrans were just like a group of them who were seperated early in the evolution process and didn't fair as well in evolution.

 

I wonder how ridiculously hard it'll be to kill the Hybrids in the campaign. Since they wouldn't be a multiplayer race, they'd prolly be beefed up to shit to make them tougher. Could definitely be very epic.

 

Actually, we already know that the Terrans were convicted convicts sent from Earth on space ships that just happened to survive and started colonies that eventually spread out.....

The Protoss were found originally by the Xel'Naga on Auir and were genetically altered to enhance their "purity of unity" due to their psionic abilities... As previously posted, things went wrong and the Xel'Naga booked.

They then moved to Char where they found incredibly genetically suggestible larvae which they helped to learn to duplicate the DNA of other organisms. The first mutations were from docile snake-like creatures which eventually became the Zerglings, and another species became Hydralisks. So in fact, the larvae are just the base, or a clean sheet, of the Zerg and can be programmed to become any unit. They gained space travel after the Xel'Naga had left because they lost control of the Overmind. A herd of "space cows(whatever they're called)" visited the planet.... big mistake.

Anyway, in the last SC book they talk about the Xel'Naga temple. The humans wake it up from its slumber and it sends a signal to the Zerg and Protoss. They show up, all three races duke it out over the temple, and eventually they enter the temple and are absorbed. The Terrans are NOT ABSORBED because they ARE NOT RELEVANT and/or expected. Then a capsule kinda hybrid thing pops out the top and takes off into space. It is described as havings wings, etc...

Therefore, the Xel'Naga planned a hybrid of the two races hoping that it would solve the problems of each individual race and finally create the pure "unity" and "essence" that they wanted in their master race.

BTW, the Xel'Naga will be very technologically advanced (further than the Protoss) and will be capable of defending themselves, but won't be aggressors as they simply love science and creation!!!

Finally, we have no idea of what the Xel'Naga look like, but we know it isn't like the Protoss as they were described as completely different from the Xel'Naga. Perhaps there are more similarities in the Zerg....

BTW, in the last book the Zerg assimilate that big blue dog which became a new unit... could be a Zerg unit....

 

that dousnt mean hes working for them i mean hell just cause theres 2 evil forces dousnt mean there workin together

@AnArchY - i think thats a good idea it certainly would add a twist to the game another twist that is

How can you label the Zerg evil. They are a representation of evil, but, are not in their nature evil. We only label evil as that great aggressor that is attacking us. That does not mean they are evil. They are doing what they do. I could say for all intents purpose the Protoss are evil, but, they're not. I can both disprove and prove this fact. So please do not go around labeling things evil when evil is only a word in all truth.

Good post on the nature of evil, Templar.

Evil is whatever happens to be against your agenda or your beliefs. Humans are evil to the Zerg, and so are the Protoss, because they stand in the way of their expansion across the Universe. If the Zerg had beliefs then I would assume the Terran and Protoss would be at odds with it.

"People who call themselves evil are usually anti-social and wish to remain separated from a society in which they do not believe. They are usually good at heart and don't harbor true ill-wishes towards others. It is those who profess themselves to be pure and the pinnacle of humanity that are the most dangerous." - Unknown

 

Talking philosophy now, eh?

 

you are all wrong
Zerg are death incarnate

They are evil. No matter how you Zergophiles (yeah, that's right, I just made up a name for you Zerg players) philosophize they are EEEEEEEEEVIILLL

 

The difference between good and evil, and everything in between is a matter of selflessness, and selfishness no matter how you put your finger around it.

And good summary Joneagle_X, I’ve always seen the Xel'Naga as non-aggressors too. I can't wait to learn what they, and their new creation will look like. There was an artwork picture that may have been a hybrid in a stasis cell, it looked pretty big, and had more Zerg-like features, but it was kind of fuzzy so the details were hard to make out.

 

5 bucks says Xel'Naga are goin all original SC protoss-ish and figure the sector will be better off is all races are dead?

 

Interesting theory, but what on earth did the Terrans do to deserve being obliterated in the process? Remember, the three races are linked together now; if you try to kill one, you'll end up killing all of them. Besides, the Xel'Naga aren't very aggresive, so I think they'd spare the Zerg and the Protoss just to save the Terrans from an unworthy death.

 

if the Xel have come to end the cycle i doubt theyd care about a couple of terrans when theres billions back home on earth

 

I think Duran is a XEL NAGA rogue

 

Whatever he is, he's not human. slugonice, please stop using bold text in every post you make.

Supposedly he's still pretending to be under the control of Kerrigan? Or has he decided to command the Terrans despite his being infested?

 

Well Duran is very mysterious.... man..

 

Purity of essence for the Zerg, purity of body for the Protoss. Both ingredients given by the Xel'Naga, creators of those races. But .... is it possible that, combined, those "purities" reform the Xel'Naga ? That the hybrid is a Xel'Naga ?

 

No the xelnaga wodent want 2 make a new race exacly like temselves- it wod be a pointless waste o effort.

 

I don't think Xel'Naga have any of these traits, I just think they possess the most amount of knowledge in the universe then any other race, which allows them to create these powerful creatures.

 

If what you said is true, then the Zerg are the most intelligent, and powerful race in the universe.
