TZeratul03/Voice overs/OBSOLETE/OLD CINEMATICS/ZERATUL REACHES FIRST TENDRIL NODE:
Zeratul: The first tendril node! Gods willing, some trace of the Overmind remains...
--- The camera cuts away to a pre-built zerg creep-out area. We are in heavy shadow. In the HEAVY RED LIGHT we see a few zerg larvae creeping around in the muck.
Overmind: Zerg. This is the first expression of all that I am.
--- We see the larva enter its egg state.
Overmind: The perfect design...
--- We see the egg explode as a zerglings crawls out. It sniffs the air (or emotes somehow).
Overmind: Bred to assimilate the strongest species...
--- A wave of additional zerglings race up behind the first one and charge across the screen.
Overmind: A perfect genetic ferocity...
--- The first zerglings emotes and then starts running with them as the camera pans up and around the swarming creatures.
Overmind: Driven by a perfect, single-minded will...
--- The visions ends... we cut back to Zeratul standing near the tendril node.
Zeratul: I have glimpsed the Overmind's origins... but there must be more! I must keep moving.
TZeratul03/Voice overs/OBSOLETE/OLD CINEMATICS/ZERATUL REACHES SECOND TENDRIL NODE:
Zeratul: The second tendril node! I must make contact quickly!
--- The camera cuts away to a view of SPACE. Through HEAVY RED LIGHT we see a swarm of zerg flyers moving slowly across a star field. The camera pans around them - showing their alien grace and majesty as a swarm.
Overmind: Long did the Swarm wander the void...Assimilating the lesser species it encountered.
--- Camera swings around to show the space BEHIND this swarm... there we see DEAD WORLDS behind them... Could be 2D - gray/lifeless - or aflame (whatever)... we want to show the swarm as hugely destructive.
Overmind: I was driven by the deepest manipulations of the Xel'Naga - to find and assimilate their first born...their failed children...the protoss.
--- The camera cuts to show a worm-hole SLOWLY open up before the swarm (similar to the Zerg victory flic <n/>in Star1 - this will use the 'black hole' Mothership spell art). The zerg 'get pulled in' to the black hole as if <n/>using it as a wormhole for travel...
Overmind: I was nothing more than an instrument to the Xel'Naga...The Swarm was the raging fire that would consume the evidence of their sins.
--- All the zerg 'teleport' through the wormhole - leaving only silent stars before us. The scene starts to go black.
Overmind: But what of my children? Would they have no future of their own?
--- Camera cuts back to Zeratul as he stands before the tendril node.
Zeratul: The Overmind seemed almost... selfless. I must press on.
TZeratul03/Voice overs/OBSOLETE/OLD CINEMATICS/ZERATUL REACHES THIRD TENDRIL NODE:
Zeratul: The third node at last!
--- The camera cuts away to a zerg 'room' - a dark chamber covered with CREEP. HEAVY RED LIGHT and shadow... the camera slowly pans around the room... A strong heartbeat is heard echoing throughout the chamber.
Overmind: The Xel'Naga had created me to eradicate their failed children - the protoss - in a battle neither species would survive.
--- Camera stops tracking at the center of the room - as we see a CHRYSALIS (similar to Star1).
Overmind: I could do nothing...but obey.
--- Camera starts zooming in towards the chrysalis.
Overmind: Yet I deemed the purity of the Swarm was greater than my function - greater even than the Creators' Pyrrhic vision. I would birth...an inheritor.
--- The chrysalis begins to warp and flex - something is tearing its way out. The heartbeat is faster - thundering now.
Overmind: One who would give the Swarm its freedom.
--- We see KERRIGAN arise from the Chrysalis. The camera slowly pans around her form - revealing her majesty.
Overmind: And help it to...evolve.
--- We see tons of zerg rushing at her - swarming around her as their new queen. Camera cuts back to Zeratul.
Zeratul: Kerrigan. (beat) Could the Overmind have created her... to stop the Xel'Naga's return?
TZeratul03/Voice overs/OBSOLETE/OLD CINEMATICS/ZERATUL REACHES FOURTH TENDRIL NODE:
Zeratul: The final tendril node... Gods, grant me the answers I seek.
--- The camera pans down to the scenes as the combat gets nasty. We see GANTRITHOR flying on-screen as in the BRIEFING.
Overmind: I made my war against the first born as I was destined to.
--- The camera pans down to the scenes as the combat gets nasty. We see GANTRITHOR flying on-screen as in the BRIEFING.
Overmind: Before I could assimilate the protoss - I was undone.
--- As the camera spirals to the ground (tracking Gantrithor), there is a FLASH of white light. The camera slowly fades back in to show Kerrigan standing on the battlefield as zerg swarm around her. Camera pans down toward her as she unleashes her powers against the protoss forces.
Overmind: Yet my...daughter...remained. She alone would break the cycle. She alone would forge a future devoid of the hated Xel'Naga.
--- The whole scene starts fading to black.
Overmind: She alone would lead the Swarm ...into tomorrow.
--- Cut back to Zeratul.
Zeratul: I can scarcely believe what I have seen. What terrible irony - that the wretched Queen of Blades... is the key to saving all who live.
TZeratul03/Voice overs/OBSOLETE/Zeratul Enters Overmind Cortex OBSOLETE
Zeratul: Overmind! Trace impulses of the foul creature do linger!
Zeratul: Who did this?
Zeratul: I care nothing for your hopes. Tell me of the prophecy, damn you!
Zeratul: The Queen of Blades? Madness!
--- Zeratul takes a step back.
Zeratul: No! This vision! I cannot bear it, stop!
--- FADE TO WHITE
