The title of this post actually ruined quite a bit of my campaign game, was randomly scrolling down to the BW section when I glanced over this by accident and for the last half I still had to do in story-mode, it left me wondering what the hell was going to happen with Tychus.

So I actually already half-guessed he was going to betray Raynor (or whatever you want to call it) due to the little hints in the game I would never have picked up without reading this.

Could the title please be changed, so that other people don't get the same result?

EDIT: Perhaps I should make it more clear, I stumbled upon this post days ago, it's just now I'm actually posting this, couldn't really open the topic without clearing the campaign first.

It was clear that before going to Char that Mengsk had no idea that the invasion would take place (cutscene right before Char). So if Mengsk had no idea that the invasion of Char would take place how could he order Tychus to kill Kerrigan?

There is a gaping plot hole right there, but the only way for this to make sense is if he didn't work directly for Mengsk. Cue the Mobies Foundation, whose prime researcher is Dr. Narud + Show Spoiler +
Narud=Duran
, and is headed by Valerian. Dr. Narud would know that Tychus would go to Char, and he would know that killing Kerrigan would allow his plan to come to fruition. Of course this is all speculation on the fact that Narud is Duran which I feel is highly likely.

+ Show Spoiler +
Title should be renamed


This probably makes the most sense. If you've played Broodwar including the secret mission at the end you know that Duran created the hybrid. When Zeratul asks Duran what is he, Duran states, something along the lines I am older than the protoss. I was waiting for Duran to re-appear in this story but this quote makes the most sense.

i don't understand why tychus made his intentions to kill kerrigan so clear. if he had simply never said anything regarding her and just shot her at the end (a natural reaction from any terran), raynor would be hard-pressed to find a reason to kill him. why would he believe mengsk would allow him to go free? he has no leverage against the man, and is actually just a horrible loose end to leave around.


Well, if he would have killed her, the entire galaxy would have been consumed by the hybrids. Also, Jim would probably want to get his revenge, after all, he went all the way to Char just to deinfest Kerrigan.

But I think Tychus was conflicted between betraying Jim and obeying Mengsk, that is why he asked. There was a small chance that Jim would agree and all would be fair and square.
To pray is to accept defeat.

Come on, it was obvious that Tychus was going to betray Raynor right from the very start.

2 reasons
1) The suit as said above, would have shut down his major internal organs at the slightest attempt to break out.
2) If he told Raynor about the suit, (as Raynor already knew about it, but didn't know for what reason), he would have to tell him it was for killing Kerrigan, and if not they would probably scan the suit and figured it connected to the Dominion. Then some serious social issues would start between the two...

They said that if there was any sign of editing the suit that it would shut down his major organs but what about when Raynor electrecutes him with the cable from the jukebox and almost completely shuts the suit down? I doubt that it wouldnt be classed as meddling with the suit.

i didn't have the patience to read 7 pages of responses, so if anyone already said this, im sorry. this is my theory. mengsk was the guy tychus was working for, and tychus was ordered to kill kerrigan. from this, we can see that mengsk is actually working for the dark voice as the dark voice is probably aware of the prophecy warning "people" that kerrigan is the one who will thwart his plans. so he used mengsk, who was able to use tychus to score the headshot against kerrigan. we know mengsk could be *note i said could be* the dark voices bitch because he was somehow in control of a hybrid making facility. i dont think i actually answered your question, but... yeh tychus did die, the suit would have exploded if they tried anything, and yeah.

and i dont get why deutsche bags are hating on the sc2 story. i think its one of the best video game stories since hl2 and im cant wait for the next 2 installments in teh game

I wonder how Mensk was able to communicate with Tychus in the last scene while sitting on a spaceship/planet lightyears away.

I think Tychus wasnt working for Mengsk. He said it was Morbius Fundation with phd Narud as a boss. Backwords - Duran. Thats the devil he was working for.

However, dead people can be brought back to life via infestation

I think you are all missing the most important question:

If Tychus is locked up in is suit, how does he use the Toilet when he's on-board the Odin?


HAHAHAHAHA

man I never think about things like this. I loved hearing the idea that Tychus purposefully let Raynor make the decision to kill him instead of dying to Mengsk


Yeah and how could he smoke all these cigars while inside that suit, with the ray down? I guess we just can't understand technology from decades in the future.

Bit sad to see such a character as Tychus die however it was nice to see Kerrigan being saved (oh how hot did she look) maybe that's why Jim killed Tychus, so Jim could be sure to have that pussy all for himself?

1) The suit as said above, would have shut down his major internal organs at the slightest attempt to break out.
We don't know whether or not it would be impossible to remove it, as the Hyperion crew members didn't even try.
In fact, Tychus didn't tell them about the killing device at all, so the crew didn't know about it before Horner had a scan on Tychus. Even then, no one seems to believe Tychus might be a little unreliable if someone is pointing a charged gun on his head. Does Tychus know he has a killing thing in his armor ? If not, you should tell him. If he does, he hid it on purpose. In both cases, it's quite obvious there is something wrong going on. "Part of the deal" is hardly a satisfactory answer : if the Möbius are really interested in the artefact, they won't cancel everything just because he's out. And if they do, then it means they hide a lot of things and taking Tychus out was a good idea.
Maybe it's just me, but I'd have expected a little more concern from Horner and Raynor once they knew someone has secretly designed something that might kill Tychus at any time if he keeps his armor on.

Speaking of Tychus and Mengsk, why is Tychus doing the whole Media Blitz mission if it is Mengsk that can kill him? He could just have dropped a hint to whatever Dominion officer is in contact with him. If I was in his shoes, I wouldn't expect to be ever released after failing to tell him about this big media bomb, even if he didn't know I was the one who made it possible.

Remember where Tychus dies though. In the middle of the main hive cluster on Char. Pretty sure thats prime infestation territory. I could be wrong but if you read anything from the Dark Templar Saga where the Zerg create another prime infested human (Ethan Hunt) who has heavy hydralisk overtones (4 arms, 2 with hydra scythes) and serves the swarm faithfully. He's also extremely powerful and rides around on a mutalisk (not joking here). Tychus is too cool of a character and he's definitely bad enough to be a zerg. I think he'll make a come back as infested Tychus, half man half ultralisk!
...Or is it only that I need not flaunt my power in such an infantile test of will?
