Back at the bridge, Tosh disappeared and Matthew received a transmission highly encrypted. "My name is Nova, we should talk," a blond Ghost introduced herself.

"What do you want?" Matthew questioned.

"Tosh is lying to you," she answered. He managed to get Tosh into the communicator and the debate between the two began. In fact, Tosh and Nova were classmates in the Ghost Academy and had dated before. They broke up since Tosh became a Spectre and Nova became a loyal Dominion assassin since the fall of the Confederacy.

"We Spectres be the future! You just couldn't handle it, little girl."

"Every Ghost that became a Spectre has gone on a psychotic killing spree. The ones I've captured are held in New Folsom."

"Don't listen to her brother. Help me bust the Spectres from New Folsom, and we'll save the sector from the burning shadow!"

"Tosh wants to reactivate his Spectre buddies using the substances you helped him collect. New Folsom is full of psychopathic killers. Do you really want to release them into the galaxy?"

"I'll be helping you and your brother, my people will too. She won't even join you and knows nothing about the prophecy."

"He's a psychotic time bomb. He'll be on your side right up until he puts a knife in your back."

"This will be the moment of truth. Make your choice," Tosh ended the debate allowing Matthew to choose while the two became patient waiting.

From what he heard, he found out Tosh was planning to reactivate Spectre. Matthew considered Tosh more convincing than Nova and was loyal to him all the way through. Though Nova described the Spectres dangerous, he decided to prove her wrong by having Spectres as his assets. The risk would involve releasing the prisoners into the galaxy that would damage his reputation.

Matthew spoke according to his choice, "You should have told me what you were really planning in the first place, Tosh. I'm taking your word over the Dominion assassin. We came all the way this far, may as well see it through."

"You've made a poor choice," Nova then cut off the transmission.

"I knew I could count on you, brother. Now let's go and bust open New Folsom," Tosh spoke in delight.

Tosh directed the Fighters to New Folsom and uploaded tactical data.

"Damn it! Nova was spying on us!" Matthew saw the prison heavily guarded.

"Even you have nothing could get your way in, but one man, one Spectre, can find a way in," Tosh informed him as the Spectres were trained for infiltration.

"The progress is all up to you, my boys will provide backup to you, but they will need your help to gain ground," Matthew allowed the Spectre leader to take the leading role.

"Sure. You sit back this time. I'll take the lead and clear the way. Just keep sending troops to keep the pressure on, and I'll do the rest," Tosh gave the engineer just one thing to do during the mission.

"Also, there are two cell blocks containing military prisoners outside the main compound. If we break those open, we could probably count on help from the inmates. Lastly, there's a Dominion base right by the main prison entrance. Take that out and the guards will retreat. The prisoners can handle it from there," Matthew reminded and allowed the mission to commence.

Matthew established a base while Tosh was infiltrating with his cloaking taking out the guards that could not see him with his AGR-28 gauss assault rifle. "I can use a psionic explosion to take out groups of marines. A little trick I call mind blast," Tosh severely damaged the marines' brains and he picked them off easily. However, "that turret across the bridge, it can see me, and alert its allies if I get too close, even with my stealth," Tosh aimed his rifle at the heads of the guards then destroyed the missile turret. The Spectre leader activated a psionic shield as he spotted a siege tank and casted mind blast on it. The trick not only damaged the vehicle, but also stunned the crew as well. He fired at the marines' heads and got close to the tank simultaneously. He managed to destroy the tank before its switching completed.

"Hang in there, Tosh, my boys are moving in to back you up," Matthew began sending squads of marines, medics, and Marauders to aid him.

"Remember, just keep sending in troops and I'll do the rest," Tosh reminded as he continued to cripple the defenses making it easier for his allies by destroying the tank and bunker exposing its occupants. When the first squad arrived, Tosh casted the mind blast on the bunker damaging the building and stunning its occupants. The Dominion also had access to Hellions which were used to defend the prison. Tosh shot the driver allowing the squad to focus firing taking out the exposed marines and on the bunker then wiping out the exposed occupants. The Spectre and the squad moved in to destroy the factory building Hellions and Vulture bikes simultaneously. The guards counterattacked with Vulture bikes, Hellions, marines, medics, and Marauders. Tosh used the mind blast to stun the enemy group so that his allies could take them out easily.

With the enemy buildings demolished, Matthew sent reinforcements via drop pods and praised, "Great work, Tosh, we're pushing towards the front line." A Ghost casted the electromagnetic pulse grenade drained all of Tosh's energy and exposed him for seconds. The Spectre gave the Ghost headshot and thought, "when I need energy, I can use consumption to get more. I just steal a little life from an ally. More the life they have, the more energy. It don't hurt much." Tosh did not want to hurt any of his allies by doing so, but he had no other choice. He mainly chose Marauders to use consumption on as well as SCVs. The squad began taking a break when the ally SCVs built bunkers and barracks to train more troops. Not taking a break, Tosh took the ammo from the supply depots constructed by the SCVs and flanked the enemy siege tanks taking them out unnoticed. The ally marine, medic, and Marauder attack force began pushing in. Tosh casted the mind blast on the missile turret and the two bunkers to slow the enemy down. "Tosh, you're not far from the first military cell block. Releasing those prisoners can help us out," Matthew reminded the Spectre. After the bunkers, its occupants, and the turret were taken out, Tosh proceeded to the first compound while the squad held the enemy attackers at bay. The Spectre casted psi shield and mind blast on the patrol of marines and Marauders. He picked the marines off while getting close to the siege tank. Tosh quickly destroyed the vehicle before it could finish switching to tank mode to attack. He pelted the Marauder in the head with three rounds and destroyed the turret. With the patrols taken out, Tosh opened the doors letting the prisoners out and commandeered Diamondbacks to assist the Fighters. Before the prisoners were released, the squad took the frontal assault and was killed. Tosh destroyed one bunker and took the high ground to take out the siege tank and the patrolling Raven. Back in ground level, Tosh used mind blast to slow the bunker and another siege tank then took out the missile turret. With the third defense line taken out, Tosh had to shoot the Spider mines laid by the Vulture bikes to defend another factory. Tosh gave another Ghost headshot then took out the siege tank guarding the Factory. With the enemy buildings taken out, Matthew sent the last group of reinforcements via drop pods, "We're rolling out, keep them busy while we establish a forward position."

The guards deployed siege tanks instead of Hellions and Vulture bikes along with marines, medics, and Marauders in attempts to drive back the Fighters. The squad also took a break while Tosh replenished ammo. "You're closing in to another military cell block; feel like making some new friends?" asked Matthew. Tosh knew that his allies could handle themselves and proceeded to free the last group of prisoners. He picked off a siege tank unnoticed and casted mind blast on the marines, medic, and Marauder. Tosh casted psi-shield moved towards the second siege tank getting closed it and took out the marines and medic simultaneously. This group of patrols included a Viking in walker mode and a Raven. Tosh quickly finished the tank and casted another mind blast on the Viking stunning the pilot so that he could finish off the Marauder. Next, he took out the Viking and the Raven, and then let out the last group of prisoners who commandeered siege tanks.

In the Fighters' main encampment, five buildings took the role of nuclear silos were constructed. "Tosh we have nukes ready for launch, paint the target, just don't call in the strike in too close," Matthew informed the Spectre. Like Ghosts, Spectres also had devices combining a laser pointer and the guiding tool for the tactical nuclear missiles. Tosh launched the first nuke to destroy two missile turrets and two bunkers exposing the occupants while taking out the surrounding enemy in the blast zone. The guards had a pair of new fortified-armored mechs to guard the base in which Matthew recognized as Thors. They stood as tall as a two-story building armed with a chaotic cannon on each arm, missile pods in the shoulder launching projectiles that inflict extra damage against medium armor, and 250 mm strike cannons. Tosh took out the two siege tanks on high ground then launched the second nuke destroying the missile turrets, Thors, and the other patrols in the blast zone. The Dominion also had Banshees to guard the base. The remaining three nukes were used to cripple the prison's heavy defenses allowing the Fighters and prisoners to lay waste on the base.

"You just unleashed a nightmare on all of us, heaven help you now," Nova commented.

"And the walls come tumbling down! Be free my brothers and sisters! Your new life awaits!" Tosh laughed at the time some of the prisoner he recognized as Spectre came out. For the other prisoners, they became recruits for Matthew's army as their freedom came at a cost and were given a chance to do something good as redemption for their previous crimes committed in their lives.

Tosh returned to the Zeus and praised Matthew, "You guys did good. Now me and my spectres will finish the job, we'll wipe out the burning shadow and save the sector."

"What exactly is the burning shadow?" Matthew asked.

"The old man did not tell me everything," Tosh could not answer.

"Where can we find him?"

"He just appeared to me, he will appear to you later. Now there's no point in helping Raynor with his revolution. We, Raynor and his men, Mengsk and the Dominion, the Protoss, and the Zerg will be wiped out before the revolution becomes a success. It's up to us to deal with the coming unnoticed threat," Tosh answered.

"We'll get to that even if my brother gets involved with it," Matthew said.

Tosh gave him the data to make Spectre equipment and promised only volunteers could undergo the processes of becoming Spectres. Therefore during the training, the Psi Indoctrinator would not be used so that there would not be any brainwashing. Tosh and his Spectres were in debt with Matthew owing him just about anything despite the other Fighters distrusted them. The Spectres were medium-armored infiltrators equipped with siege-capable AGR-14 assault rifle and could cast ultrasonic pulse to stun groups of enemies in a non-lethal way. They could also charge up their psionic energy to unleash the psionic lash making them more powerful. Matthew researched a suit that enabled Spectres to cloak without energy.

For the Diamondback, Matthew came up with the Shaped Hull for enhanced durability and Tri-lithium cells to extend the rail guns' range. The Reapers were given the Nitro Boost to speed up the jetpacks and U238 Shells to extend their pistols range as well as increasing the damage against light armor and unarmored enemies. The Firebats were upgraded with Incinerator Gauntlets to increase their damage radius and Juggernaut plating toughening their armor. The Vulture bikes received Ion Thrusters to speed up the bikes and the magazine to replenish Spider mines. For both the Hellion and Hellbat, Matthew gave them Thermite Filaments to increase damage against biological enemies and Twin-linked Flamethrower to increase their damage radius.

The breakout was in the news and the anchor asked the report if it was Raynor's Raiders that carried such act. When she answered that this breakout had nothing to do with Raynor and his men, the anchor immediately cut her off with a commercial.
