Plot[]
At the bunker, the marine points the Xel'naga tower for the marine guard to defend on, and he lends him a rifle and a lunchbox. Both salutes each other. As the assigned marine takes over the tower, he takes a snack with sandwich from the box. He uses the binoculars to see the destroyed protoss base captured by terran army, fleeing Bob the Ragelot carrying a pylon, followed by the last probe, and hopping zergling to play with an overlord. While looking, a baneling steps into the picture, frightening the marine to climb on the tower safely. The baneling eats his sandwich, and it rolls toward a regiment of marines. They scatter for safety from the perilous zerg unit, but they find it is gone. As they regroup, the baneling unburrowed and detonated with acid, melting them to death.
The assigned marine witnesses the fear, and now he is surrounded by a pack of zerglings. The scene cuts to the bunker occupied by an idle marine, where the tower is deactivated and the yelling is heard.
