"Holy crap!" Jake said. He felt suddenly joyous. Incredibly, astonishingly joyous. He wanted to dance. He felt an overwhelming rush of emotion surging up through him, so powerful it left him weak and shaking.
And then he felt clear and free and liberated... and still joyous. But a different kind of joy. Not just the joy of victory, but a deeper joy, an internal joy—the joy of peace.
His plan had worked. He knew it. He didn’t know how he knew, but he knew. "Nothing’s going to escape that," and he realized he’d said it aloud. He looked at his heads-up display.
"Maybe not even me."
He turned toward his vulture.
His dark templar ally was standing there.
"Hi," Jake said.
The protoss did not respond.
