Mengsk walked into his office. "Hold all my calls, I won't be seein' anyone today, Ms. Willson..." he instructed his secretary. "Yes, Mr. Mengsk..." she replied. An unannounced visitor appeared at her desk and surprised her. "I'm here to see Mengsk..." he told her. "Who are you? If you have an appointment, you'll have to reschedule... Mr. Mengsk is not seeing anyone today..." she politely informed him, trying her best not to tremble in fear. "You may relax, Ms. Willson, I'm not here for you..." he told her as he approched the door. "I told you Mr. Mengsk is not seeing anyone!" she shouted as she jumped out of her chair. An unseen force pushed her back in it. "Se-security!" she screamed. No one would answer. The entire palace had been captured. The guards were stripped of their weapons by Raiders soldiers and Dark Templars.
Locked, he had to do it the hard way. Slash! Slash! He pushed the door open with more-than-sufficient force. "Honostly Jim, don't you ever knock?" Acturus sighed doing his paperwork as if it were nothing. "You cannot simply write me off this time, Mengsk! You know damn well why I have come!" he shouted. The windows of the office shattered from the psionic waves of his rage. Raynor would make Mengsk's death as painful as possible. He didn't call out his warp blades or reach for the gun holstered on his back. He used his fists. Until Mengsk was hardly recognizible. Then he held the pathetic wretch out of the window of his luxurious office 30 stories off the ground. "How many? How many good men and women died fighting honorable fights to the bitter end, believing in that garbage you have them believing?" Raynor shouted. "Jim, be reasonable..." Acturus choked. "The time for reason has passed, and I am no longer James Raynor..." he told the corrupt man he once worked for as a human. "I will see you in hell, Mengsk..." Raynor cursed and let Acturus Mengsk drop.
The people had thought that Mengsk would be a hero emperor and that they would be free under his reign, but he had been a tyrant. With him dethroned, the people cheered and even danced upon his grave. The coming years in the Koprulu Sector were peaceful. A united government was established between the Protoss and the humans. As for Inquisitor Raynor, he disappeared into the vast darkness of space, never to be heard or seen from again. Every once in a while though, on the planet Aier where there was a monument to the heroes that fell in that bloody war a bouquet of wild flowers would appear under the dedication "Lt. Sarah Kerrigan; remembered as the human hero and not as the zerg demon...". Some say that it's CMDR James Raynor's spirit who's name is regrettibly not on the monument. Others say it was another admirer. Still there are others who think that it's the spirit of Acturus Mengsk, trapped in limbo, doomed to never pass on without her forgiveness.
