Ariel Hanson

[Visions of Khas]

So, we've basically beaten all story-related conversations like the dead herd of horses they are, that we're now nitpicking the smallest ponies.

Ariel Hanson! That beautiful science filly is respected by one and all, except by Gabriel Tosh, her one detractor and neigh-sayer. I'm replaying Wings of Liberty and went, "Hay, that's weird".

The Zerg seem thoroughly intent on infesting Hanson and her colonists, so much so we're pulled by the reins to rescue them from infestation on three separate occasions. This is, to Tosh, a troubling thought; all the Zerg would get from the Agrian colonists are a bunch of workhorses, which makes their expenditures of resources seemingly pointless, aside from providing the colonists with one ongoing night mare. Tosh goes on to suggest something about Hanson is luring the Swarm, implying she's something of a honey pot, or salt lick. Why is that? Is she part of some experiment by Kerrigan, a slowly incubating virus? Or does Kerrigan fear Hanson may actually develop a cure for infestation, turning the stables on the Queen of Blades?




No, I will not stop making horse jokes. I nearly broke my leg at work and am thoroughly bored as I take a medical leave of absinthe. Uh, absence.

I remember seeing absinthe lollipops for sale online. They looked disgusting.

Honestly, the whole Hansen episode felt like a cheap addition to WoL just to add an aspect of drama to the story. I predict zero consequences. Not to mention Hanson was about as interesting as a breadstick.

Hmmm, referring to a woman as a beautiful horse. Not sure if that's a compliment or an insult.

Why is that?

Maybe she was probably already infested to some degree to begin with. Dun.. Dun... DUNNNN!

I thought about that, but it doesn't make sense in the A canon timeline, where she and the other colonists survive the Haven incident. I always took the B canon route to mean that she was so desperate to save the colonists she began testing on herself, resulting in infestation.

As tosh said, could you imagine if the refugees had went to more populated core worlds...

Mostly it was for the sake to show that Raynor still did save innocent lives from the Zerg invasion in WoL, that is all.

Hypothetical question:

If Ariel Hanson was pregnant with Jim Raynor's child then what would happen to the baby when the infestation took over her body? Would she give birth to a Zerg-Human hybrid?

The hyperevolutionary virus would be transmitted to the baby and it would be an infested terran like Hanson.

The only zerg-human hybrid is Kerrigan, who underwent genetic manipulation by the Overmind, and later, the puddle of slime on Zerus.

Was waiting for the punchline until I realised that this probably wasn't meant to be a joke.

What on earth made you specify Ariel Hanson and Jim Raynor, let alone the idea of them screwing without protection and making a baby? On second thoughts, I don't think I wanna know.

Well this is an Ariel Hanson thread.

Which makes me wonder:

Suppose Sarah Kerrigan was impregnated with Jim Raynor's child when she was left on Tarsonis by Mengsk. What would happen to her baby after she became the Queen of Blades? Would she give birth to the Zerg-Human Prince of the Swarm?
