Mengsk wants you to raid Mar Sara's Confederate Outpost and bring back whatever designs or weapon schematics you can get you hands on in the Jacobs Installation.

     -Jim Raynor
    New Enemy Units:
     -Floor mounted guns(hidden)
     -Wall mounted guns(hidden)
    Battle Strategy:
     Because this is an "installation" mission, the map is like a maze, and offers a number of superfluous pathways. At several locations in this mission, you'll encounter hidden floor and wall mounted guns and Missile Turrets. Stay calm as you move through the installation and don't panic if the floor opens fire on you, simply target the spot and have your Marines destroy the turret. As you move north-west you reach a room with a raised area serviced by three stairways. Several Marines and 1 Goliath defend this area, so don't head in there until you've grouped your attack force tightly. When you fight the Marines above you, remember that they have a height advantage. You only have a 70% chance of hitting them when you're lower, while they have 100% chance of hitting you. Therefore, always attack when your numbers are at least 3 times theirs. Be sure to activate any Beacons you come across as you wind throughthe installation. The 1st 2 Beacons you'll run across disable floor-mounted guns and release a number of friendly(and not-so-friendly) prisoners. The 3rd teleports your men so they can proceed along the optimal path and collect the disks. Once you grab the disks and return them to the starting beacon, the mission will end in a victory for you.
    Resource Management:
     You can't build new units in this scenario, so don't waste any units. If you end up losing a pile of men accidentally or due to a sloppy play, you may have to restart this scenario.
