This is my play through of Starcraft Remastered Brood War with some random commentary. Sometimes you won't even notice I'm there.

Protoss Mission 6 - Return to Char

With the Uraj in hand and the UED no longer in pursuit, the time has come to recover the Khalis. While Zeratul was on Char for the first time back in the events of the Original campaign, he sensed the presence of the Khalis but was unable to as his attention was taken up with the Zerg that covered the planet. From the safety a Protoss ship orbiting Char, this time Zeratul is able to concentrate and in time, his focused search allows him to pinpoint the precise location of the Khalis.

An anomaly appears in the form of a massive and fluctuating energy signature that Zeratul is unable to identify at the location of the Khalis crystal. In response to this mystery, Kerrigan quickly states that the energy signature comes from none other than the infant Overmind, the threat she came to the Protoss about.

Given that the dark templar energies are of a signature similar to the Zerg Overmind and Cerebrates, it made sense to believe that they'd be drawn to Khalis and set up a nest around it. But that made the task of retrieving the Khalis difficult as well. The council comes up with two options: Clear a path to the crystal and retrieve it with a drone or a probe then make a hasty escape, or directly assault the infant Overmind while it is still vulnerable to conventional attacks with the expectation that it would be stunned and pacify the nearby Zerg long enough for the Exectuor's forces to retrieve the Khalis and leave without worry of Zerg attack.

Kerrigan's powers allows her to exert control over the nearby Zerg as well to assist in the Executor's efforts, albeit to a limited degree due to the competing influence of the infant Overmind. But it is more than enough for her to grow a hive powerful enough to help turn the odds in the Executor's favor.

After pushing back the Overmind's defenses, the combined Protoss and Zerg forces launch a direct attack on the still vulnerable Overmind, causing enough superficial damage to cause it to retreat into a state of self-preservation: hardening itself to make it invulnerable from further attacks at the cost of abandoning its control of the Zerg hives nearby. Artanis' plan worked and the Khalis was theirs for the taking.
