Lab Rat: Kerrigan Teaches Valerian Mengsk a Zerg Lesson (Starcraft 2: Heart of the Swarm)

- Sarah Kerrigan was taken to an Umojan Protectorate research station. She claimed to have little recollection of her time while infested. Nonetheless, Valerian Mengsk tested her ability to control zerg, and she created a small hive cluster with a single starting drone. Dissatisfied from being confined in a cell, and determined to teach the prince the foolishness of attempting to control the zerg, Kerrigan took the test beyond its parameters which included spawning zerglings. The zerg broke out of the test chamber and rampaged through a sublevel, resulting in significant material damage but no human casualties...

you are a big ass noob lol
@@joshyboh4890 and hes also a thief
This is before she become infected mutant (or Infested)
Omg you built a Spawning Pool with a drone that was returning minerals... absolutely barbaric
:))
Gábor dont know what that means but it sounds inefficient!
For the Glory of the Hive!
Some people just want to see the world burn
Zerg is Life.....We Zerg are One...We are Hive
Valerian: Morph a drone into a spawning pool. Ya know, the thing you need to morph zerglings.
Also Valerian: Why are you morphing Zerglings!?! 😱
Me thinks Arcturus has a special son
He did say make a spawning pool. He didn't ask her to make zerglings.
"I don't remember anything about being the queen of blades" "I can't do that I need an overlord first" I bet.
Probably suppressed. She does later mention that it's coming back to her.
as well as its probably something psychic, ya know connecting to minds? cant tell
before she transformed into the queen of blades she fought and destroyed many zergs nests and she knows how zerg s nest works this is why she said she need an overlord this has nothing to do with her forgoten memory from when she was the queen of blade
Imagine in your head it screams "SPAWN MORE OVERLORDS" ... and you say out loud, "I might need to have an overlord first"
It might even be common knowledge.
>is containing the most dangerous thing in the galaxy
>uses automatic styrofoam water blasters for security
>doesn't have basic protocols in the case of an outbreak or to prevent outbreak(like not opening the doors)
I feel compelled to point out that door ain't stopping shit. Zergling claws can shred metal, they'd've just ripped the door apart if they had to.
Sure is a lot of minerals for a "controlled" environment.
Raynor now: "I never gave up on you."
Raynor not really all that long ago: "I'm the man who's gonna kill you, some day."
In Starcraft 2, everyone forgot their previous motivations and goals.
The shitty writting doesn't help either. Kerrigan being a macguffin itself is one of the dumbest things.
@@Destroyer2150 Interestingly, Kerrigan's malicious lesson to Valerian was the ONLY time she ever acted like the old Kerrigan in the entire SC2. Convenient that she forgot all about her life as the Queen of Blades, huh? But clearly remembers all about the zerg, everyone she killed, how to control the zerg, where Char was, who Duran and Stukov were etc., I could continue on for hours. Neoblizzard writing at its finest.
@@balhaddadinn One of the books they released, talking about what happened between WoL and HotS, Kerrigan actually lies to Raynor and Valerian about not remembering being the Queen of Blades. She actually remembers everything. For some fucking reason, as always, Blizzard likes to stash important plot information on other medias.
@@Destroyer2150 Or y'know he could've thought that since there was literally no way to cure infestation, and she was a level beyond just infested she had to be killed, then zeratul proved him wrong, chill out a little
What, you saying that people aren't allowed to change their minds?
"Sorry about your friend Tychus"
Fenix: Am I a joke to you
Well dont worry Rainor does mention him in Hots(hearth of the swarm)
She doesn't remember about being the Queen of Blades
Talandar : Thou hast joke to you templar?
Well at this point the less Kerrigan knows about her past the better.
Kerrigan: Let me show you that the Zerg cannot be controlled! (Controls the Zerg) Ok, let me rephrase, they can totally be controlled, I'm just uncooperative.
"I can control them. YOU can't."
7:10
"OH NO! ZERGLINGS!"
*opens the doors for them*
"WE'RE SCREWED!"
He definitely should get better security bots
Jimmy Wu always buy flame
yea, something with a BIG flamethrower, or several flamethrowers
Imbaseal A big security bot with big guns that fire other guns that shoot flamethrowers with chainsaws attached.
@@coadacatalin4510 hahaha
Mengsk: "It's Nerf... or nothing"
"I never gave up on you Sarah!" James Raynor -2013
"I'm the man who's gonna kill you someday!" James Raynor - 1998
Well, Starcraft 2 had some problems, but this is not one of them. Raynor metaphorically killed Queen of Blades and get Sarah Kerrigan back. Why metaphorically, and not completely? Because of Zeratul's warning and some feelings towards her. So, this part of the plot is normal.
@@lastfullast8819 It was pretty much shown that if Kerrigan were to die then the entire galaxy would die as a consequence, chances are the people that are saying the writing is awful probably either never got around to doing the missions from the crystal Zeratul gave you or didn't care about the side missions in general.
They destroyed Jim Raynor's character. He was always a rugged outlaw/cowboy type of a man. Not the kind of man who was obsessed with the love of a woman. It would be one thing if starcraft was a love story between Kerrigan and Raynor, but it wasnt, nor should it be. I mean, they were more like friends in sc1, not lovers. There was small flirting, but that was it. One reason why I admired Raynor was because I saw him as a man of principle and action. A real strong man who didn't let his emotions get the best of him. The real Jim Raynor was like a sheriff looking out for his crew and town. He wouldn't have risked everything and tried to save someone like Kerrigan who had killed countless terrans. He was the type of man who judged people by his actions. He declared kerrigan an enemy, because that's what she had actually become. He was a man who made tough decisions, not someone who clung to naive and overly optimistic ideas like everyone can be saved or redeemed. Jim Raynor was not jesus, he was a tough Marshall, who wasn't afraid to make tough choices. What should of happened is that Jim Raynor pursues justice. He fights and kills Kerrigan for her crimes, albeit reluctantly and with remorse. That would of been a story.
@@Jimraynor45 Love blooms during war m8, instead of going "they destroyed such and such's character" pay attention to the dialog whenever those two spoke in SC1 when those two first met for Raynor it was love at first sight but Kerrigan wasn't interested which is why she shot him down before he even got a word out!
@@cursedhawkins1305 StarCraft was a sci fi space opera about war and aliens. It was *not* a romance. Jim Raynor was a tough Marshall, not some women chasing simp. They ruined his character and people realized it when they played SC2.
Lesson of the day, unless they are dead, NOTHING involving Zerg is secure.
Minus that dead Ultralisk that Abathur brought back to life later on in the campaign.
Merely to show a respawn feature to add for "buffing your shit". A little sidequest thing to help your solo play more enjoyable.
I mean, that was a ridiculously bad controlled environment, 8 zerglings could break out and destroy everything, it was rediculous
Even if they are dead...they are not dead
Suffer not the Xenos to live.
A good Zerg is a dead Zerg.
"You'll learn that you can never control the Zerg."
Except if you're a Protoss Dark Archon.
Or if you have hive mind emulators
KSAlejo or a Psi disrupter
BonkHazard Until somebody blows it up.
nintendoboy17 or u can control urself if u are an infestator
@@filipposciarra9430 Or you are a Xel naga
The story of Jim and Sarah is made all the more tragic when you consider that despite the impossible odds Jim overcame to rescue her, she still chose revenge first.
and more unrealistic, due to the fact she was free of any control in BroodWar and Jim swore to kill her for what she did to Fenix.
Retcons are a given when so many years separate the two games, and the meaning of the Brood War events changes in light of later ones.And frankly, Jim never struck me as a "bros before hoes" type.
That is not the point, she was far beyond the pale. Despite not being under the control of the overmind anymore, she acted like a power hungry megalomaniac and killed a lot of people without any good reason. He swore to kill her. The only reason, why Jim would save her is the prophecy Zeratul told him. But now suddenly all is forgotten and he acts like a lovesick school boy? What the hell?
WhiteKnight Leo well... he did, remember Zeratul?
@@_Muzolf the old rock'n'roll Blizzard is dead, now they can only make a generic fantasy stories, like Starcraft 2.
Dissecting dead Zerg in a lab is one thing, unleashing them on men is another.
Too good my friend, lol.
good ol' Dugalle
mankind * :D
FreedomR115 Brood war?
He must go into this with both eyes open. Is he prepared to go all the way with this?
You know it was around the time when I made so many overlords that I had 200 supplies and like 5 or six units of zerglings that got me to really think to myself. Why did they not try and stop me when I was making my second Overlord?
I love how they did this intro. It is vastly different than most. So marvelous.
But the ironic thing is, Kerrigan had to control the zerg to teach a lesson about not controlling the zerg
The lesson is "I, Kerrigan, can control the Zerg. You cannot."
Then the next step in that logic is "you cannot control me"
Kerrigan's logic though. Imma make zergling to prove you i can control them but you can't. But first. Lemmeh destroy everything.
SHE CAN control the Zerg. THEY CANT. They where obviously in need of a lesson XD
She hit the Emperor's son where it hurt, in the ego
@@toddkes5890 She hit watchers with shitty plot holes, fucking joke.
@@Alen725 1.She always had Psionic powers its part of being a Ghost
2. She was conditioned within the swarm by the overmind and her powers wore modified to control them
3.What the Xel naga artefact did was just to remove aimon Infestation of her..not the Raw power of mind that she had as the qween of blades..
Is not bad writing is simply not paying attention
" Funny thing about Zerg, Valerian, they never do what you expect " she confirmed herself to still be the Queen Bitch of the Universe
I've gotta say, that was the shittiest "controlled environment" I've ever seen. "Oh no! They produced eight of their most basic combat units! We are powerless to resist this!"
How about simply not opening the doors, and flooding the chamber with toxic foam? Having the entire chamber be a flash furnace? Electrified walls and access bridges? Any of those fancy shield walls they were using to contain Kerrigan? Or failing all that, having a remotely competent security effort?
Also, those gas turrets. Since when does ripping apart a gas release mechanism with claws, prevent more gas from escaping? And why was that gas defence localised to a single room, and it's failure a trigger for opening the doors? Why was the eradicator at the furthest end from the area that needed containment, rather than on hand to immediately squash the problem at it's root.
UnknownSquid oh no a fictional setting in a video game doesn't make any sense. What EVER SHALL WE DOOooooooOoooOOOOOOOooo
UnknownSquid don't forget that a major part of this game is footsoldiers blowing up buildings by shooting them with rifles, or slashing them with energy blades. It'a not meant to make sense.
UnknownSquid it's called shitty writing
Unbelievable.
+FrostmourneFK Uh, I don't know, un-suspend our disbelief and lose our entertainment in that portion of the game, click through the cut scenes because they are so unbelievable even in the in-game universe?
"Controlled environment "
TheKidFawFul i'm surprised i crack myself up when hearing those sentence
Kerrigan's control :P
The door for the zerglings opened by itself and the "eradictors" were shooting peas.
cool i love how kerrigan showed valerian an lesson that you can't control the zerg from a terran perspective anyways without huge huge casualties that it wouldn't even be worth it. Just like how in the original starcraft the confederate tried the same thing and it ended badly for them and almost destroyed the terran race if protoss and terran didn't help eachother.
He really loves her
Kerrigan can really be harsh when comes to lessons huh. She can really make a mess.
She Knows full well what the zerg are capable of. outside of her control the Overmind and it's cerebrates were monsters and vicious, destroying everything in their path. Little did we know that the Zerg were Preparing for a Bigger fight...
Lessons need to be harsh to be effective. I learned to pay full attention when driving only after an unfortunate accident.
“Okay, see if you can control that drone.”
“Nope.”
“Okay. Fair enough.”
*Roll Credits*
"I never gave up on you, Sarah - don't you give up on us!"... except for when you promised when you'd be the one to kill her at the end of Heart of the Swarm.
you know if they ever made an rpg of this with jim and kerrigan as teachers and later squad mates to your custom character and told a unique story in a mass effect format ..... they would set brand new records the world over.
Just realized Valerian and Anduin are the same voice actor.
Didn’t you realize something more obvious...like maybe their looks
Hey wasnt it funny how the lesson was COMPLETELY forgotten at the ending when she did exactly what Mengsk thought she'd do? I.e. walk into her room alone and get zapped.
Realistically, Valerian should have used whatever 'termination protocols' were available in Kerrigan's containment unit the moment she started creating Zerglings against his orders
The feels near the end with Sarah Kerrigan & Jim Raynor. :'(
Valerian: ok Kerrigan now let's build an ultralisk cave...
That moment when you realize Terran has sheilds like prottoss buy that's none of my business...
Jim sizes up four guys in power armor, and they just let him in.
You should attack with drones.... then you'll hear...
Val: Kerrigan, call off your.... drones? You're attacking with drones?
6:35
My response: The fuck is that supposed to mean?! We are on a planet that has been targeted as enemies of the dominion, we are being hunted by the best troops that my father can muster, we don't have a lot of resources as it is, and that lab cost a shitton of resources to make, so help me god, if you destroy this whole place just to prove a fucking point then we'll all suffer for it because we'd be losing critical research assets that we can't replace because we're spending most of our budget on trying to save *you!*
Kerrigan: ...Huh, good point.
This was actually my favorite mission.
I loved the one where you had to infiltrate the Protoss Mothership. Got a distinct _Star Trek: First Contact_ vibe from that one, which I think is exactly what they were going for.
Zerg brutal mode is the easiest I think ,Kerrigan is just too useful. And yea hoped blizzard will release new campaign soon not some side campaign like nova.
"One overlord shouldn't hurt."
Famous last words.
Kerrigan, we know you are our beloved Widowmaker
Jamego King you know Nova is the new Windowmaker skin.
You know Kerrigan (pre Zerg) is the new-er Widowmaker skin?
He cant do that
shoot him or something
13:05 Good idea Junior! Maybe next time she'll destroy the ENTIRE facility. :D.
Kerrigan you crafty little...
"Kerrigan this is not a game!"
Then what's StarCraft 2 meant to be?
It ain't science fiction, that's for sure!
4th wall breaking
@@lowella8812 LoL only DeadPool can break the 4th wall
I wonder if Raynor called Valerian "Jr." as a diss since Valerian despises his father and doesn't want to be or end up like him.
if the continuum has told you once, it has told you a thousand times: DONT PROVOKE THE ZERG
"Open the door son", chills.
damn, should have attacked with the drones and get an alternate dialogue lol
When you think about it she survived the Zerg by taking over the zerglings that attacked her when she was left behind as she took over more Zerg the hive mind pulled her in the reason she had no memories of what she did was she was not connected to her hive
3:30
You clearly didn't play Starcraft, Starcraft Brood War, or Starcraft 2: Wings of Liberty Valerian
Kerrigan and Raynor are such amazing characters
Jim Raynor is such a badass.
These Sentry Bots are so ill-equipped for dealing with Zerglings, it's not even funny. What the hell was Valerian thinking???
I agree. "Oh a sentry bot that can maybe kill one zerging if it's caged in about 5 minutes should be good enough in case they break out." Can't have an army of Eviscerators. Can't have a hallway or the entire sub-level set up with an emergency "PURGE EVERYTHING" button that literally incinerates the entire area all at once or something. No external self-destruct to blow that sub-level. Just some measly sentry bots.
When it comes to the Zerg, no cost is too great. But of course, these zerglings have some really good plot armor, so they probably would have cutscened them getting out anyway as maybe one or two of them died.
Yep, Didn't equip to fight zergling but to fight roaches...
Jim "Simp" Raynor
Is it weird that i love this Kerrigan more than the redhead Kerrigan?
Not weird at all. I love the infested braids.
nope, it's just propaganda working as intended.
Braids and Dreadlocks?
I can't believe I never realized it.... EDI? Dare? Is that you??
All it took was zerglings? Damn those robots really suck, huh.
"Controlled environment" **Earrapey Seinfeld theme plays**
Why did you stop producing zerglings?
1) don't open the door for them
2) fill the room with gas
3) light the sparkle
or:
1) send in firebats
‘You can’t control the Zerg.’
*Controls the Zerg*
anyone notice how once she became queen of blades the first time her suit never goes back to a blue pulse... maybe im overthinking but thats some damn good foreshadowing
tbh, I think this was a good lesson.
Waaaaay too many people have wanted to control the zerg.
And they usually succeed.
a 5min ad for a ice swan bong...great ad
It could've been such a beautiful story ...and, instead...
oh i love this game sooo much.
Zerg tech is really incredible
the memories..
Szynkom
Roke. ❤️
I honestly hated Kerrigan. They did their best to make the player hate her (killing Fenix, a beloved character). Then they decided to make Starcraft 2's story be about her, instead of being about vengeance enacted against her. Ugg, maybe I'm just a protoss fanboy but I hated the story of Starcraft 2. Waited about 20 years for Blizz to screw it all up.
100%. i love romance stories but tha'ts what it turned into
They double sized amount of squad you can control. Now I have to play this game.
Kerrigan tells that the zerg can't be controlled by controlling the zerg
Best tutorial zerg :D
The most charitable interpretation for this is that she is 100% dead set against anyone trying to control the Zerg and did this as a warning to show what a disaster trying that would be.
Mixed with her making a point that she's not going to control them as Valerian's personal weapon, wanting to leave that past behind.
Eradicator.. That's just was only a name.
Valerian literally needed just 2 firebats with a medic near the hatchery....
Ryaken Nah, too much budget for something like that while entire Dominion try to wreck you up
the sad thing about sarah is she had didn't have any choice she was chosen to do fighting it was out of her hand
2:48
*I Think Sarah Kerrigan is a Sith Lord*
If, during our space travels, we encountered an isolated solar system with this type of species; it'd be aweful.
Exterminatus
Why jim raynor sound like solid snake?
What is the name of the song that plays while Jim yells "I never gave up on you!"?
I can't find it in the soundtrack movies.
AS irony would have it, attacking the facility right here, right ended up being mengsk his own downfall. Poetry.
This scene implies hatcheries are tiny.
are they doing aliens right now lol
I wonder if he could destroy the marine at the enterance...i think not, but he is brutal so
He has got to be twice kerrigans age. At least old enough to be her father.
my local massage clinic has better security than this
0:27 i would prefer if say "u wanna a piece of boy"
Zerg. ZERG. HAHAHAHAHA
*LET ME TELL YOU ABOUT THE TYRANIDS*
Panzer Faust honestly one day in 40k they’d all die
8:35 it is a game
look what zerg can do !
Starts you off with a drone, which is how you build everything. Whose idea was that :p
and then proceeded to do exactly as Mengsk thought by the end of the game and walked into his trap like an idiot.
And this is how Mengsk lost his job.
I love Kerigan, especially with that "hair" (after cured) ... thank you for video ;)
Kerrigan stronger than any Jedi in the Jedi Purge
Kerrigan reminds me of Panam from Cyberpunk
I am an Value Earth asking me!
Marshall & Conmonwealth
Umoja Marines look badass as hell. Too bad they get taken down so easily in that cutscene :/
Thumbnail bright me in.
At this point they starting fucking it up
