How to retreive texts and sounds of the briefings in Starcraft 1 and Starcraft BroodWar?

I am trying to retrieve the text/sounds of the mission briefings in Starcraft 1 and Starcraft: BroodWar.

I have tried searching the web for "starcraft", "briefings", ".txt" and ".pdf" keywords but the search engine seems to not understand what I really mean.

Are the briefing texts somehow encoded into the game or they are more or less separated into some data file?

Best Answer

_{The OP's answer, originally posted in the body of the question:}

I found a GameFAQ post which is the whole textual transcript of all Starcraft briefings.

As for the actual briefing sound files, they are present in the starcraft.mpq file (not stardat.mpq). To get at them you'll need a MPQ Editor as per @ayckoster's answer. However, the sounds themselves are slightly unordered (i.e. not ordered by mission)
