Playing through the campaign again, I noticed just before boarding the Dominion flagship, Raynor checks the chambers in his handgun and there's only one bullet in there.

I assume this means he's been saving it for Mengsk, but as it's Valarian onboard, he never uses it.

Until he kills Tychus. With his handgun.

Am I right in assuming he uses the bullet meant for Mengsk on a friend? That's gotta suck.

I always assumed it was meant for Mengsk...or Kerrigan in the event she couldn't be saved.

That sucks, and we can blame Marty O'Donnell and Michael Salvatori for encouraging us to shoot our friends (although in a somewhat different setting) :

hmmm, i think you just found a plothole. good job. i guess Raynor's going to have to kill Mengsk with his kick ass sniper rifle instead.
For he is the Oystermeister, lord of all the oysters.

Very interesting find... I would assume the bullet was for Mengsk but as Findlay points out "I made a deal with the devil Jimmy. She dies I go free." So Raynor had one of two options kill his friend or let Kerrigan die and have the prophecy come true according to the Dark Voice...

Kinda OT: I do like Valerian and Warfield just not Mengsk. Dominion isn't as bad it's just their leader is corrupt beyond corrupt. Maybe we will see more of them in the expansions?

Right up until the bro stabs you in the back while she's naked and in distress.

Yup, hes been saving that bullet since SC1 to avenge Kerrigan. I think its fitting that he uses it to save her - defiantly a trade I would make if I was in his position.

I dunno... Valarian has only shown he's willing to work with whoever to attain his goal of becoming a great leader. Isn't that basically the same attitude young Mengsk had? Who says when he takes over he won't be as bad?

I do like Warfield, though. No politics there... just straight leadership and war tactics.

Great point... I had forgotten most of his hatred for Mengsk is due to what he did to Kerrigan. Forgoing vengeance to save her is a logical step.

When did Raynor save a handgun bullet in Sc1? All I can remember is him using his rifle or Vulture or Battlecruiser

I suppose he ceremoniously shot Mengsk by shooting Tychus, in a way. Obviously Mengsk is still alive and kicking, but his plans were ruined.

What I don't get is that Mengsk had a bomb in Tychus' suit...why would he not detonate it after Tychus died?

Does anyone else see a connection between Judas Iscariot from the Bible and Emperor Mengsk?

If Judas hadn't betrayed Jesus, God's plan for mankind's salvation may have been ruined.

If Mengsk hadn't left Kerrigan for the Zerg to infest, the Overmind's plan for the Zerg to be free of the Xel'Naga would have been foiled.

Awesome find! If you didn't know Ariel Hanson and Gabriel Tosh both share names with angels. I never would of thought of that.

That sucks

Wait, since it was for Mengsk, perhaps Tychus didn't die but Raynor magically shot some part of the suit that set Tychus free. Whoa. So maybe it did end up being used on Mengsk after all =O

(probably not true but just saying haha)

It wasnt a bomb, it was just a life support system, think of it like a pacemaker with a control.
