Episode III: Invasion Mission Objective: Exit your APC and make your way through the Atmosphere Processor. Disable five cooling fans by locating the valve controls. Turn the valves and locate the landing platform. Once all five cooling fans have been disabled, a rescue craft will deploy. The mission begins inside the APC you charged into at the end of the previous level. Listen to your mission briefing, detailing your task to disable five cooling fans, and exit the APC. An Alien will greet you after exiting the vehicle. Find the staircase located inside this hangar and proceed upward. Head through the door at the top of the stairs. Enter the base and follow the dimly lit corridors until you can move both left and right. To the left is an apparent dead end, so turn and move to the right. Be careful however; an Alien is lurking in a hole in the ceiling to the left. If you aren't paying attention, it'll likely sneak up on you. At the end of the corridor will be a door; head through the door to enter a multistory room. A few Aliens pounce from the shadows. Terminate them with your pulse rifle, then find the staircase leading up to a second story walkway. Follow the walkway around and through a door, which leads to another room with a staircase heading up.
Take the stairs and pass through another door. Keep to the right and move through a new corridor with a deceased human (or what was left of the human) crumbled on the right side of the hallway. Next to the body you'll find another slab of armor, a medkit and additional ammo for your pulse rifle. Continue through the hall and pass through another door. As soon as this door opens, fire a grenade (secondary fire on your pulse rifle) at a doorway to your left. Three Aliens will emerge as soon as you enter the room; a well-timed grenade could end your problem in a hurry. A few more Aliens will emerge from the darkness. Take your time and don't move too far into the room until you've taken care of business. Move through this door where the Aliens popped out and approach a fork headed left and right. |
