Day 3 of the great experiment.

The test subject has needed little encouragement to try again. She came to me late last night wanting... nay... needing to learn how to control the might of the Protoss race.

This time i matched her versus a tougher opponent in different sector. It was a pretty valley, known as 'Ohana'. I remained as hands off as i dared, and was only forced to step in once, to stop the first rush by the formidable 'easy' ranked computer. Beyond that she showed great tenacity in destroying her Terran opposition.

Can the others be right? Is she truly the child of destiny that we have waited so long for?

I try not to dwell on the thought, i fear that even a whisper of the truth may cause it too vanish like smoke in the wind.

The subject has managed to grasp a number of basic concepts quite well, things that have taken other controllers years to master. And yet, she stubbornly continues to 'construct additional pylons' whenever she is prompted to build probes. Perhaps this is an innate reaction or a defense mechanism trying to protect her from the barrage of my psychological experimentation.

Alas, we have no time, i must forge ahead. We have come to far to fail at the final hurdle. But still, i stay awake at night pondering... have i done enough? Is there more that i could do? Do we still have enough time to change the course of history before the heart of the swarm envelopes us all?

As such, I have been forced against my will to begin phase 2 of the operation. Commonly referred to the 'honey' or 'award' approach.

I have promised that if she does well, i will allow her to play a special 'campaign' mode, in which she can learn the inner workings of the Terran empire. The allure of this reward has proved irresistible for the subject, and she appeared to try harder to win my approval.

She is keen to try this secret game type, perhaps i will allow this, or perhaps i will leave it enticingly just out of reach of her grasp for a while longer yet. I am still to decide what the best course of action should be.

Perhaps the choice will not be mine to make, if she is truly the one, perhaps she will make the choice for me.

Time will soon reveal that answer.

Day 4 of the great experiment.

It appears the answer to my question has arrived quicker than i could have ever imagined. My fears have been proven unfounded, yet frighteningly omniscient.

Last night, she dreamt about StarCraft for the first time. Surely this is a sign, that she is 'the one'.

I continue to fear that in my haste to obtain an optimal outcome, that perhaps i am pushing too hard, surely it is too early for these dreams to have commenced. I must slow down my attempts at mind control, else risk losing all ability to manipulate her...

My greatest fear is that perhaps she will realize that she is the subject of experimentation.

I have been called away on other matters, so i am yet to question the subject to find out which path she will take due to these dreams. Will it scare her away? or has the addiction already sunk into the deep recesses of her soul forcing her to play more, to crave the purification of the brainless Zerg. To desire the destruction of the anarchist Terrans... I can only hope.

I will find out tonight.

The experiment continues...

Other way around. I tell her to build probes, and another 3 pylons appear.

I remember when my gf had her first dream about being a probe trying to block a ramp against a 6 pool in the first person. It sounds like a horrible nightmare but I was still so happy T_T

This reminds me of teaching my Dad how to play SC2 a few months ago. It's very touching since he brought me into the world of RTS first when he introduced Red Alert 2 to me!

I tried with my Korean GF
She actually picked up things like mining and making units quickly but stuff like controls groups and abilities she couldn't handle.
Tried doing bronze league 2v2's on Korean server but she would get too frustrated from losing so she quit
