    Why would raynor find it?

    At the begining of SC2 there was no zerg invasion and raynor didn't think about going to kerrigan. Mengrk would not put all his money and risk so much beliving a small group of rebels can even get near kerrigan when the same group doesn't even have such intentions.


    It is stated very clearly at the end of Brood War that Mengsk's fleet is scraps of a mercenary army and not the Dominion which is ruined.

    An extensive search, right after he finds out that Tychus is locked inside the suit to pay off "some debts". Not hard to find it if you suspect it.

    What money and what risk? He sent off one guy loyal to Raynor, in an inexpensive custom marine suit. He didn't risk a thing. The only backfire that occurred was when Tychus stole the Odin, but still, if Tychus wasn't there then Swann or Raynor could have took it instead.

    Fine, you're right, the dominion was in ruin, and Kerrigan could have easily destroyed everything. But she didn't want to. Why? We don't know, we can only speculate. WoL is only part 1 of the story, her motives will most likely be revealed in Heart of the Swarm. Maybe she never wanted to kill everyone, she just wanted power. Or maybe she figured the protoss and terran were no longer a threat, but that the Xel'naga who created the zerg were, and her attention should be focused on that. (Clearly she was right to fear them, seeing as how their technology owned her)

    Once again, mengsk is seen clearly as a hologram that can SEE what is going on, since he looks at Kerrigan and tells Tychus to shoot her.

    Once again, at the begining of SC2 there is no zerg invasin the Raiders are a rebel group agianst the Dominion, why did he sent Tychus?

    If kerrigan wanted to fight the xel'naga (which I support cause she's not "evil") then why did she attacked the dominion and resisted Jim?

    See, they DID make her evil and in the need of disinfaction - which is exactly my point cause it would have been much better if she would have fought them as she is now.

    Infested kerrigan is a very interesting and tormanted charachter which was the center of the entire SC franchise and is now ruined.

    Where exactly is the Mengsk hologram?

    Why not? No risk, and very high chance of killing Kerrigan if Raynor ever comes close to her again.

    She sensed the existence of the Xel'naga artifacts.

    She was evil in SC1 too. All those betrayals and infesting Raszagal and all that.

    you keep saying the same without answering my question, if the raiders are NOT even thinking about Kerrigan (not to talk about attacking her) then why did he send Tychus to them?

    sensing the existence of the artifacts, doesn't justify attacking the dominion.

    she wasn't evil she was just.. kerrigan - meet the new personality of Sarah Kerrigan. people change - so once she was all cute an nice, now she's bitter and megalomaniac.

    Well, maybe Mengsk had intelligence sources that told him that Kerrigan was massing for another war. I guess he took it for granted that Raynor would try to do something about it, if that was the case. Releasing Tychus was no big investment for him anyway, as has been said. He was just some old convict on a backwater world.

    ok so releasing a prisoner, giving him a death suit, being able to kill him every second and being able to know where he is and what he is doing every second, suffering all the raiders blows, because of the thought that maybe Kerrigan would attack and maybe Raynor would decide to go after her and maybe he would, against all odds, actually be able to get near her with Tychus still alive..

    wow

    that is.. THE most far fetched plotline I have EVER heard in my entire life.

    Because the Dominion found a Xel'naga artifact piece on Mar Sara. Mengsk knew it had the same properties as the psi emitters he used on Tarsonis, and that war with the zerg was coming.

    He even said it himself in the opening cinematic:
    "Make no mistake, war is coming. With all it's glory and all it's horror."

    It does. Clearly it would be very bad for her if all the pieces of the artifact were retrieved by the terrans. So she searched for the other artifact pieces, and also the Moebius Foundation that hired Tychus to retrieve them.

    you know, I've just watched the installation story again where they repeat the events of the former game - well they COMPLETELY ignore brood war and talk only about the events in the first starcraft, what a blasphemy no wonder the story sucks.

    Findlay lacks the inteligence of doing it without someone noticing
