Victory, you say?
Allright, Prince Thrakkath had a great plan. He did some crazy experiment with Ralgha nar Hallas and had the perfect spy. It worked great for a while, since with all those Kilrathi worlds joining Confed, Hobbes was important politically. By WC3, however, Hobbes was nobody with confed. Second in command on a backup light carrier, everyone was suspicious of him. As a spy, he would be pretty much useless.
But Thrallath’s luck changed. Tolwyn decided to use the Victory to protect his most secret project.
Now think about the odds. Had Tolwyn choosen any other ship without Hobbes, there would be no leak. The behemoth would've had a shot!
And the interesting thing is that Blair had to be there. Not only because he was Hobbes friend, but to allow the secret keyword to be used. How would Thrakkath use the “Heart of the Tiger” on a phrase if Blair wasn’t on board?
“I’ve been talking to a captured terran veterinary… he told me about feline cardiac surgery… that he did… on THE HEART OF THE TIGER!”
