Sonic all characters react to "What the hell happened? We ain't seen the zerg in years. Why attack Mar Sara now?" Raynor asked Matt as to why the Zerg are back. "It's not just Mar Sara. You need to see this." Matt said as he turned on a small screen on the side of the star map console. "-Zerg swarm launched a full-scale attack-" "-Devastation spread throughout all outer rim planets-" "-Sustained heavy losses-" "-Casualties in the billions-" The news goes on as Raynor's face showed a hint of fear in it. As it goes back to the console. "-Minutes ago the Zerg attacked a Dominion military research facility-" The reporter could only say as it too was cut out by an explosion in the background. All while Tychus could be seen walking in uttering what everyone could be thinking at the time. "Sweet mother of mercy." He said as Raynor looked at his partner before looking back at the console screen. "-New, exclusive video footage confirms the Queen of Blades is in fact leading the swarm!" Kate could be head speaking as the footage shows the Queen of Blades looking at the camera as it loops multiple times before the footage cuts out. All while shifting to Raynor sitting down on a chair as he places his hand on his face. "We always knew she'd be back. But what's she after?" Matt asked his commander who did not respond at first before as the screen zoomed in on his eyes. "She's come to finish the job."

Sonic all characters react to Hyperion Bridge - 14 Minutes Later "There's no telling what the Zerg will throw against us this time. Sir, we need to make sure our hardware and munitions are up to the challenge." Matt said as the screen which was facing some of the crew members then panned toward him. "Yeah, I'll check in with Swann down in the armory. Knowin' him, he's already got upgrades for us." Raynor responded back before Matt continued. "I hate to ask, sir - but is there a reason that convict's still on my bridge?" Matt then whispers to his commander as he then looks towards Tychus as the screen cuts to him. Unfortunately for everyone, Tychus was standing in the middle of the room absently adjusting his Powered Armor's crotch plate. part 2

Sonic all characters react to "Easy, Matt. Tychus is one of my oldest friends. He helped me out of a real bind a few years back. I owe him." Raynor then defended his partner as he looked nostalgic. (I think?) "Well your friend has a criminal record as long as..." Matt protested only for Raynor to interrupt him again. "Mine? Believe me, if Tychus Findlay wanted me dead, I'd be dead already.". "Understood, sir." Matt acknowledged Raynor as he then turned to his buddy Tychus and Sonic characters who was looking around. "One helluva ship y'got here, Jimmy. How'd you get a hold of a floating palace like this?" Tychus then asked. "The Hyperion was Mengsk's flagship back in the day. Me and Matt decided to 'borrow' her when we parted company with him. This old baby's seen us through some tight spots." Raynor explained. part 3

Sonic all characters react to "Your debts better not bite us in the ass, Tychus. Coverin' for your shenanigans ain't part of the deal." Raynor said as he turned back to his second to ask another important question. "Just how bad is it, Matt?" "Zerg are attacking all over the sector, sir. Mengsk pulled the fleet back to protect the Dominion core-worlds, leaving the fringe worlds to fend for themselves. It's a nightmare." Matt explained the situation much to the horror of the good guys while Sonic all characters seemed disconnected from it. part 4

Sonic all characters react to Chief Engineer Rory Swann is examining the Armory Console and looks up when he hears the door open. He greets Raynor and Sonic all characters as he's still walking across the bay. "Hey everybody! Our glorious leader has returned!" Swann says as he chuckles lightly. "Hey man, what's up, cowboy?" "What do ya got for me, Swann?" Raynor asked. "The usual - buildin' up our standin' forces." "Bringin' my troops and hardware up to speed, huh?" Raynor says as he reaches the console and Swann. "Yup. You can add upgrades for their tech right here on the console. But building' an army on the run ain't cheap. You brought back credits this time, right?" part 5

Sonic all characters react to 'Look, I know money's been tight - but that artifact we just picked up from Mar Sara's gonna solve everything!" Raynor responded back with confidence. Swann however, was not confident. "I've heard that before, brother." Swann snarked. "It's different this time." Raynor assures his Chief engineer with no success. "Yeah, I heard that one, too." Swann snarked with such deadpan to the audience's amusement. Raynor could only sigh as he turned his attention towards the console only to realise that it is pretty empty as of yet. Nevertheless, he got an upgrade before turning his attention back to Swann. "Upgrading what we got is all well and good, but when're we getting new hardware? Lotta gaps in our inventory right now." Raynor then asked Swann who gave a direct answer. "Sometimes we take a job with some kinda new hardware and I get a schematic for it so we can make more of 'em. The plans for other stuff we gotta either beg, borrow or steal." part 6
