Additional objectives:

Kerrigan has learnt that the Moebius Foundation has been supplying you with info on the Artifacts' locations. The queen has departed for their home planet with a mission of slaying the eggheads and gaining valuable information. You naturally have to stop here.

[#1]

Doctor Narud and the personnel are ready to evacuate, but can't till the cores aren't destroyed. If left behind, they would provide too valuable information to Kerrigan, who personally takes part in the search. You have to act quickly.

During this scenario, the Medivac Dropships will be introduced. In these circumstances, they will come in handy for sure. They can not only move units, but also heal all biological units. The map is filled with biomass and Zergs, not mentioning the Spine Crawlers. That's why you should focus on staying airborne, but not even that will keep you completely safe. You can always come across Mutalisks, Hydralisks and Spore Crawlers. You must keep your eyes opened and use the multiple ramps - whoever's higher, wins [#1].

[#2]

Kerrigan will begin her march at once. Luckily she will stop by every abandoned building and search it [#2], which will take some time. How much exactly can be seen onscreen. Fortunately you know the Cores' locations, so all that's left is destroying them. In total, there are 3 structures to demolish.

[#3]

The first building isn't too far away [1] or heavily protected. Just place all the units you received on start onboard and fly to the spot. Together with the saved Moebius Marines, you will easily destroy the Core and all nearby Zergs [#3]. The saved group of soldiers is by the way one of many sent by Narud with the mission to destroy the structures. Those who survived have bunkered themselves in the places marked with orange dots and can surely come in handy if only you save them (plus, it will give you an achievement).

[#4]

Before you head to the second core, focus on extending your base a bit. The Zergs will start systematically raiding you with small forces and a few times a Nydus Network entrance will appear before the attack [2] [#4]. You should of course destroy it as soon as possible. Protect the entrance with bunkers and additionally place some Turrets in the west.

[#5]

Armed with new units, head towards the second core. Destroying it won't be as easy as the first one, as there's a small Zerg nest in the area. I'd suggest beginning the attack where some lost Marauders are [3], where you will have time and place to unload your units [#5]. Afterwards rush up [4] and destroy the core.

The third core is a different story. It's surrounded by a Zerg base and a tight network of Spore Crawlers. Their numbers seems to be the lowest by the Brutalisk (green dot), which Raynor will discover soon after the beginning of the mission. If you only didn't yet kill him, land north of him and earn some new research points [#6].

[#6]

From around that spot, head to the west, follow the edge and reach the location marked as [5]. Although you'll have to deal with some Crawlers, but your Medivacs should be able to unload the units before getting destroyed [#7]. Be sure to have a numerous army, as the base surrounding the target building [6] is heavily protected. Destroy the core to win.
