reception. However, as my interest in StarCraft waned, the project was cancelled, and to make matters worse, some of the
original files were completely lost. Fast forward to 2007-- I really don't know what triggered it, but I ended up wanting to
work on an SC project again, though this time I swore to myself that I would finish it (I won't be buying SC2 without
finishing this, if anything). However, I wanted to do something with the original campaign, and soon after this, Banshee:
Another Sense was born.
Banshee: Another Sense is two things: one, it is an alternate perspective to the original campaign, and two, it is the
completion of the original campaign. This focuses on Aquamare, one of the planets mentioned
in the original campaign, and the lives of its leaders, who are the people two of the characters in
the original Banshee were working for (Arthur and Yoshimo). In addition, it will also deal with the
planned Protoss involvement in the campaign.
To better understand some of the points in this campaign, I suggest downloading the three released chapters of the
original Banshee campaign. However, keep in mind that the perspectives seen in the original campaign are extremely
limited; this will be one of the things one would notice later on in the campaign:

chapters will have up to 3 maps.
- The first release will cover the first 5 chapters. The first 5 chapters explore
the main characters and the extent of their troubled past.
EXE - Need to do title screen and some voices.

Chapter 6 (2 maps) - Finishing the 2nd map. 60% complete.

How does a person react to a constant state of conflict? Physiologically, one would elect to attack
the conflict head-on, or would choose to escape. For a while, these two siblings have been doing this.
One of them isolated himself for a time when the other was taken away. Both of them ended up fleeing
their own homeworld after a conflict that they had risked their lives for. They appear to be paying
the price, as this time, they are embroiled in a conflict that they could not escape, as they are
prisoners whose movements are controlled, though how this enforced may surprise some.
A question these two characters pose, therefore, is this: Do people who run away keep at it forever?
If so, what are their motivations for doing so; if not, what events could make them realize the possible
errors of their ways? In addition, is this cowardice? How these two characters will behave through
the various segments of the campaign are yet to be seen; how these questions will be answered...

Scorned for reasons that they could never comprehend, these two Protoss, along with many others, have
fled for the lives. It is an enigma whether these two were victims or suspects of crimes regarding the
Old Conclave, but the results of whatever events that transpired are clear-- they are separated from
their own kind, and have established their own society.
However, a rift erupted between some of these Protoss; no, not these two, the conflict is between Ranthecius
and someone he once treated as his own. The nature of this conflict is not known to even these two who
lead factions against each other, as the presence of another being would make it clear that even if these
two had conflicting ideologies, it would not appear to be the case.

Allegiance (Chapter 1): None
He is Protoss, at least in the surface. However, he is composed of the energy of another being, one who he
wishes to destroy. Why he chooses to do this, is something that may be connected to the war in Mekala,
or perhaps something that extends past his current circumstances. Perhaps it is through him that one would
learn of the nature of the being who he seeks to destroy, as even the one he was created from is one whose
nature remains to be unknown.
I might cancel it before it even begins. However, with the current progress, this will not happen. Voice actors
are also welcome (will post on SAVAGE sometime). In both cases, PM for details.

Background:
Several years back, I released the first three chapters of Banshee, a SC-AU project, which was met with fairly good reception. However, as my interest in StarCraft waned, the project was cancelled, and to make matters worse, some of the
original files were completely lost. Fast forward to 2007-- I really don't know what triggered it, but I ended up wanting to
work on an SC project again, though this time I swore to myself that I would finish it (I won't be buying SC2 without

Notes:
So far, I only have one tester (Metathrom), partly since I didn't want to announce this publicly, in fears thatI might cancel it before it even begins. However, with the current progress, this will not happen. Voice actors
are also welcome (will post on SAVAGE sometime). In both cases, PM for details.

)for the first time long time ago, and I've enjoyed of it each time I've played it.
