Arcturus Mengsk explained the history of terrazine to her and Wrangler Malcolm Kelerchian the history of terrazine and the spectre project. While they were unsuccessful, they were able to force Agent Nova Terra to inhale more terrazine, further forcing her memories back. The spectres soon struck Augustgrad in an attempt to capture Arcturus Mengsk and force him to admit his crimes. However, Nova and several other ghosts were exposed to the terrazine, triggering a recovery of memories. The explosion drew the zerg to the planet en masse, and the Dominion engaged the zerg, forcing them back. They lured ghosts to the world to indoctrinate them, and soon detonated the refinery for the gas to draw the attention of the Dominion. Using the terrazine, the ghosts began to regain their former memories, and grow in power, plotting revenge against Emperor Arcturus Mengsk and his corrupt Terran Dominion. Tosh met with Cole Bennett, and the two rallied his former comrades from Ghost Academy, and discovered a rift of the substance on Altara. Spectre Rebellion Įlements of Project Shadowblade survived however, and renegade ghost Gabriel Tosh discovered the substance from a man whose brother was in the program. Everyone involved in the project was either killed or sent to a correctional facility, with the exception of General Warfield, who retired, and Cole Bennett, who survived and infiltrated Nova Squadron under the alias of Jackson Hauler. However, the miners and test subjects began to experience erratic behavior, within a year the project was shut down. After its ability to generate psionics in terrans was discovered, Project Shadowblade was commissioned for the creation of spectres, with General Horace Warfield being put in charge of the project. Terrazine was first discovered by terrans on Demon's Fair by an unmanned probe in 2501, in a set of Tal'darim ruins. Terrazine has proven catastrophic to native life though, as shown by the destruction of the jungles of Slayn. They continuously seek out planets rich in terrazine and convert them into shrine worlds. It has been used by the Tal'darim for millennia, as a holy object they believed brought them closer to the xel'naga. Terrazine is a substance with a composition foreign to our universe, and was likely brought from the void by Amon. Įgon Stetmann after long-term exposure to terrazineĮnough exposure to terrazine can change a terran's eye color to violet. Long-term exposure to terrazine wiped out the jungles of Slayn. Terrazine is poisonous to some lifeforms. The Nerazim also have techniques to help recover from the negative impacts of terrazine use. If the spectre keeps to a strict schedule of terrazine and jorium intake, the side effects are minimized. Jorium serves as a stabilizing agent for the terrazine, which is inhaled by spectres like a drug. It is addictive, causing withdrawal symptoms after several hours. Terrazine has a half-life of several hours, but it builds up in the system over time and with repeated use. Īccording to Alarak, the rogue Tal'darim Executor Nyon lost his mind after overexposure to terrazine. Ariel Hanson, said that Terra had exaggerated its effects. Nova Terra claimed that terrazine drove the users insane, and the instability resulted in the shutdown of Project Shadowblade. However, if given in microdoses many of the side effects can be mitigated. Many spectres became eccentric, collecting devices such as dolls in an effort to enhance their powers. The exact effects vary somewhat from one individual to another. Terrazine's side effects include hallucinations, memory loss, and violent outbursts, and overdoses can be fatal. Even terrans who have not demonstrated any prior psionic ability may gain some limited psionic potential after excess terrazine exposure, as well as improved cognitive functions. At least some spectres can also more easily resist mind-reading and can avoid picking up unwanted thoughts. Terrazine also rejuvenates a terran's brain cells, allowing them to overcome memory wipes and other such treatments. Gabriel Tosh believed this could increase a ghost's powers to near those of the protoss. Terrazine's effects are unpredictable, though it possesses mind-altering qualities and can enhance the psionic power of ghosts and other psychics, increasing their power by 1 or more points on the Psi Index scale, though the effects would probably not be noticeable on an individual possessing an average PI. 02 August 2010 Biological and Psychological
