Chapter 6 - Marine Walk-through

Episode II: Colony

Mission Objective: With the colony overrun by Alien creatures, you must navigate through the confusing base to the generator run to restart the power, which will open up the North Gate, permitting access to the control room. Once there, further control switches require activation to open the colony's main gate. Once free of the confines of the colony, find the APC and exit the area.

You begin the level in a room similar to the one at the end of the previous level. Listen to the intercom, which instructs you to reach the generator room to restart the power. Move forward into the corridor and finally to the metal door. The door opens giving you access to the lift. Ride the lift to ground level and exit; climb the stairs and exit the room out into the rainy night. About this time you'll encounter your first Alien of this episode. Get used to it; you'll be facing many more before it's over with.

 
  Head into this doorway to find the four generator switches.

Turn right after exiting outside and then take a left. On your right will be the Main Gate, your final destination for the level. Continue along the path until you can turn right. Up ahead you'll see a building labeled "E." Move inside; you'll find the environment rather dark, so use your image intensifier if you have difficulty seeing the surroundings. Another Alien should occupy the first part of this corridor; eliminate it with your pulse rifle.

 

TIP

Before you leave the generator room, you might want to grab the smartgun located inside. It's a superior weapon to the pulse rifle, mainly because you can get early detection of oncoming enemies. To get the smartgun, exit the four-pillared generator room up the stairs and turn right, following the corridor to the area where you broke the window. A door is open ahead. Move through the door, turning left. Stay on the catwalk until you reach a lift. Ride the lift up and follow the catwalk into a small room where you'll find the smartgun.
   

Follow the corridor down, turning right and moving forward until you can take another right. Turn right one more time and you'll reach a dead end with a window on your left. Fire up your pulse rifle and take out the glass. Jump to the room below, which is the power station. A message instructs you to turn on the four switches located inside. Another Alien will likely pounce from the shadows; be prepared.

On each of the four pillars that occupy this room, you'll find four switches. Use the operate button to turn on each switch. Once completed, lights will flicker on and additional doors will open. You're free to leave this area now.
