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

Zerg Mission 2 - Reign of Fire

After the chaos caused to Kerrigan's Swarm by the Psi Disruptor's targeted attack on Tarsonis had been quelled, the council that Kerrigan planned finally reconvenes. Kerrigan reveals to Raynor that the Psi Disruptor is making it more difficult for her to control her Zerg. Fed up with the deceit and atrocities that Kerrigan has committed without end as the Queen of Blades, Raynor shows zero sympathy to her troubles.

It is revealed here that Kerrigan and Fenix came to Arcturus Mengsk's rescue back when UED Fleet was about to capture the Emperor because Kerrigan had asked that they bring Mengsk to her. Despising the self-styled emperor, Raynor had little reason to care about Mengsk's safety should he hand him over to Kerrigan, but he expected answers for the trouble he went through to bring the fallen Emperor to the Queen of Blades. Kerrigan claims that she's not interested in killing Mengsk and has her priorities set on taking down the UED.

Mengsk, still a prisoner, remains proud and head-strong as he joins the discussion. Hoping to chat and toy with her Terran council members, Kerrigan finds the meeting cut short with Mengsk demanding answers and jumping straight to breaking down what Kerrigan wanted from him so badly that she would set aside her desire to see him dead.

Kerrigan flatly states that she wanted to borrow the Psi Emitters that Mengsk possessed. Mengsk, besides having lost to the UED, was oblivious to the fact that they had found the Psi Disruptor developed by the Confederacy that he could never find himself. The Psi Emitters are the perfect counter to the Psi Disruptor given their opposing functions of emitting waves versus disrupting waves.

Though he is in no position to be making demands, Mengsk boldly asks what Kerrigan has to offer him in return for lending her a tool she desperately needs even if she doesn't admit it. Though Kerrigan should have every reason to want Mengsk dead, she offers to Mengsk retake Korhal, his home world and the capitol of his Dominion Empire, from the UED. This offer to not only spare his life but put him back in power sounded too good to believe and Mengsk remained doubtful.

When asked what reassurances that Kerrigan would uphold her end of the bargain, Kerrigan tells Mengsk that the only guarantee he has is that he'll spend the rest of his life as the emperor of his own miserable little cell if he doesn't cough up the Psi Emitters. That fate sounded worse to Mengsk than any treachery Kerrigan might have in store, so Mengsk grudgingly but hastily agrees to the deal and lends her Psi Emitters.

With the tools and people she needed to initiate her plan for destroying the Psi Disruptor, they begin their mission on Braxis.

Raynor lands with a small team to destroy the primary power generators of the Psi Disruptor, greatly dampening its capabilities. Once that was done, a Psi Emitter on loan from Mengsk is carried by an unfortunate pilot of a SCV unit to establish control over any Zerg close enough to it, allowing Kerrigan and the Cerebrate to establish control of Zerg right outside the Psi Disruptor. Once the mindlessly roaming Zerg were all brought under control, the nervous pilot of the SCV carrying the Psi Emitter was cleared to leave.

It really took just two drones for a full-sized hive to establish itself when there are enough resources available. Soon enough the minimal UED defenses around the Psi Disruptor were wiped out, and the Zerg went and destroyed a device that had proven to be a challenging nuisance.
