EPTNot going to start complaining about plotholes and stuff but the whole Tychus affair must be the most convoluted and uneccessarily complex plan ever hatched by anyone if its Mengsk.

I think it was because he was having a mental struggle on the inside... and he didn't expect raynor to be carrying his pistol. The story kinda eludes to tychus struggling with inner demons. | ||

What confuses me is the apparent contradictions with Tychus's allegiance. If he was freed by Mengsk and ordered to kill Kerrigan, why was he "allowed" to pilot the Odin and subvert Mengsk? Did Mengsk somehow know that Tychus would get close enough to kill Kerrigan? If so, how? At times, Tychus is talking about only wanting to get paid, other times he wants to save humanity, and he also tries to start a coup against Raynor. His role changed too much and was too contradictory IMO. Still, he was pretty cool, in a hard-boiled sort of way. I interpreted the "coup" as he didn't want Raynor to go after Kerrigan as an attempt to avoid fulfilling his end of the bargain and betraying his friend. | ||

Mengsk let him do all this because if his reputation was in the dirt, if he killed Kerrigan then he would automatically be worshipped as a god who stopped the zerg, thats why he allowed Tychus to do it | ||

Only sensible explanation to me is that Tychus thought he and Raynor got so close together that it was "Bros before Hoes". He wanted to be honest to Raynor after what they had gone through, and I guess Tychus was a bit of dramaqueen and noisemaker who wouldn't just act out on long planned plan acting it was reaction or misfire. I don't mean to say Raynor could've accepted him killing Kerrigan, but underestimated Raynor's feelings for Kerrigan and possibly overestimated their Bro'ness to think Raynor could do the only thing to save Kerrigan - kill Tychus. Gah, the ugliest paragraph I've ever written. | ||

Tychus also was unaware of one critical piece of information - that Jim knew that Kerrigan needed to survive to avoid the destruction of the three races. | ||

The REASON why Tychus made such a production was to TELL Jim that he had to kill him (Jim kill Tychus). Tychus knew he was dead either way - Mengsk would kill him if he didn't kill Kerrigan, so he made a HUGE production out of it to try to tell Jim indirectly that it wasn't HIS fault, hence the "I made a deal with the Devil." he also tried to start a coup against Raynor - likely to try to stop the Char invasion-plan so it didn't come down to him having to choose. After all that they had been through together, I don't believe that Tychus could have betrayed Raynor. He was self-centered, but had shown numerous times to be one of Jim's closest allies. Just my two cents. | ||
