I waited 12 yrs for Xel'naga..

If you go back to the crystal after finishing the crystal missions, you can read the prophecy there. Note that it very distinctly distinguishes between "the Xel'naga" and "the Fallen One". There's no indication that the Xel'Naga as a whole are evil--just that "the Fallen One" (which is the dark being in that mission--and who is not even confirmed to *be* a Xel'naga) is.

Dr. Narud (spelled backwards)

Kerrigan was not turned into a human. She became a Xel'Naga.

huh, that would be interesting. Unfortunately I don't think that the artifact blast would have actually altered her racial identity.

What if the Taldarim in fact are "good guys". Sure, they seem to be fanatics, but they always mention that they worship the xel naga and try to preserve their artifacts. I don´t think it´s unlikely that they know about the power of the artifacts.

I also think Raynor might have misinterpreted Zeratuls vision and words. I remember him stating that her fate would lie in Raynor´s hands, but perhaps not only killing Kerrigan was the event that will lead to the rise of power of the "Fallen one".

What if saving Kerrigan also causes this, since the zerg lose their single leader? So Raynor might have done the wrong thing (in the bigger picture) despite having the best intentions.

This also might be a startof point for "heart of the swarm". Raynor & Kerrigan might discover that Kerrigan is needed as the queen of blades, and Kerrigan might become the leader of the zerg again, literaly to save the universe. This also would fit in with Kerrigan being the central Person in HoS with her regaining her former powers.

It seemed to me that Dr. Narud and the Terran were responsible for hybrids. Duran had done some work on them in BW, it would only make sense that he continue and received Mengks's help. Play the secret level and you might agree with me. Also, we don't know how much of Zeratul's missions were in the future. Obviously the last one was, and possible where he ran into the dark one. So i'm pretty sure that the Terran are causing an imbalance.


Someone high up wanted Kerrigan dead... That was dude in the blue suit's(forgot his name) mission the whole time.


I think this is a valid point, but I'm not sure I agree. I do though wonder wtf was up with her hair.

What I thought is that she hadn't been turned back to human after the final mission yet, she had just been stripped of power like every single zerg being in that area of char (or on the planet itself) - but was still a zerg entity. Afterwards, raynor took her to the artifact and made her back into a human. The artifact blast wouldn't have been the thing to do it, considering that you'd used the artifact multiple times in the course of the mission for a totally different reason. I figure that raynor would have to actually take kerrigan TO the artifact and then touch it or they both touch it or something like that, then she would become human again. We'll see in the next set of campaigns though.

Narud is Duran, working to create hybrids the same way as in BW. He is much closer now, and has convinced mengsk to fund his studies. The Xel'Naga are not evil - they are returning to help. It was known that the Xel'Naga were fleeing some force more powerful than even they were - I surmise that is the dark one. It would also be what corrupted the zerg and caused the overmind to attack and destroy much of hte Xel'Naga fleet.
