Episode I: Derelict (cont.) Break the panel with the pulse rifle and flip the switch with the operate button. A door to the left of the switch will open revealing a new corridor. Follow this tunnel and you'll be on the second floor of the communications room. Walk along the catwalk until you come to a lift. Descend the lift to the lower level and receive further orders. Circle the structure in the center of the room to locate another switch. Activate the switch, which will open the sealed doors on the opposite side of the room. Head through the tunnels, you'll pass by a room filled with alien eggs, and keep following the tunnel until you reach a locked door. Although it doesn't look like it, the two white lights to the right of the door are actually the lock mechanism. Use the operate key on the glowing button to open the door. You'll receive another communication.
Move through the door and you'll enter a pitch-black area; switch on your image intensifier and turn left. Head straight and hop on the lift; ride the lift up and be prepared, your first encounter with an Alien is coming right up. The best way to deal with the Aliens is to keep the image intensifier on, or at least turn it on occasionally. The Aliens can be very tough to see from a distance, but with the extra boost of the image intensifier, you shouldn't have a problem spotting an oncoming beast. The creatures can't take much punishment from your pulse rifle. Keep the Alien at a distance and kill it quickly. Don't step on the acid blood as you pass the dead body. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
