The next console gives the following choice of reinforcements: 8 Marines, 4 Firebats, 3 Marauders, or 3 Marines and 3 Medics. If you don't have the ARES or Plasma Rifle then be prepared for casualties. On higher difficulties, the Thor can even one-shot Raynor, instantly failing the mission. The Thor can one-shot your troops so keep them back and attack with two Plasma Rifles rounds. Lure the infantry until you have vision of the Thor. If you are saving the ARES for the Brutalisk or it died in the cargo bay then you are about to engage a Thor and some infantry. Try to make it to the Thor in the next room. Equip it with anti-armor missiles and attack the Mech while attacking Bio with your troops. If you do choose to use the ARES here then first lure all the Bio you can. At the end of this fight you need two plasma rounds saved for the upcoming Thor. The enemy Mech will follow and clump up near a pillar for an easy grenade round. Attack the first Siege Tank| with the Plasma Rifle and retreat to your troops. Instead, create a kill zone near the console and lure with Raynor. The next console gives control of an ARES to help in the cargo bay however it is best saved for the Thor or Brutalisk later. You can easily clean up the rest with your troops. Inch forward until you see the Siege Breaker (be patient, it patrols back and forth) and attack with the Plasma Rifle. Head southwest and use the Plasma Rifle on the Hel's Angel. Head northeast after the lab room and pick up the Plasma Rifle. The first Protoss relic is in the holding cell in this room. As they fight, move in to destroy two of the Sentry Turrets then dispatch the leftover units. You should be able to complete the first half without losing any units.ДЄt the console before the second lab you will have the option of unleashing 70 Zerglings, 20 Zealots, or 5 Ultralisks. Save often and reload if you lose too many troops. Investigate the lab as slowly as you like using pickups whenever necessary. There are no prizes for saving pickups or finishing fast. Join in and keep both sides as weak as possible. At certain points your enemies will be fighting each other. Lure the enemy in small numbers to a kill zone. Move Raynor in, shoot one and pull back to your troops. Move back Marines as soon as they start taking damage. Raynor can absorb the most damage so keep him at the front. Initially Raynor has no special abilities but he can pick up weapons throughout the mission.Д¬ompleting this mission relies on the following strategies:

You start with Raynor, five Marines and two Medics.
