Marine Walkthrough: M1
M1. Violence On LV-742
Your Marines, designated Bravo Squad, have just arrived on the freighter U.S.C.S.S. Esmeralda. The Esmeralda is loaded with mewly recruited migrant miners in support of Weyland-Yutani's mining project on LV-742.
Your arrival is the culmination of an effort that was initiated some four years ago when i routine Weyland-Yutani probe identified this planet as rich in mineral ore. Since the discovery, the mining effort has evolved into a joint venture between Weyland-Yutani and the US Colonial Marines.
Bravo Squad is classified as a secondary support unit but an unconfirmed report of a violent outbreak in your sector calls for immediate investigation.
Miners have reported a viscious attack near a pipe assembly in your sector. There are conflicting reports of the incident, but the common story is that somebody went berserk and slaughtered a number of people. Your orders are to patrol the pipe assembly and investigate. Its location is marked on your map. Surveys also indicate there are malfuctioning Atmosphere Processors in this sector. Locate them and enlist a CommTech to repair them. During the mission, updates to your orders will appear in the pause menu, which may be accessed at any time by pressing the start button.
INVESTIGATE VIOLENT OUTBREAK
Objectives:
* Investigate reports of violence around the pipe assembly.
* Repair 3 Atmosphere Processors.
* Prepare the southern miner’s camp for repopulation. Secure the area and patrol around the landing pad.
Optional Objectives:
N/A
Starting Forces:
* 350 Credits
* 2 CommTechs
* 1 Synthetic
* 1 Medic
* 5 Infantry
Target Time: 15 minutes
Don’t worry about the targets coming at you as detected by your Synthetic, they are just harmless mechanics. Send all your forces west, towards the marker. Kill any Aliens you find along the way. You’ll encounter an Atmo on your way, as marked on the map above. Have a CommTech repair it and you’ll start getting credits for it. Soon you should have enough for the Infantry upgrade. Order new troops and send them to meet the rest of your forces, then continue to the pipe assembly.
Here there are quite a few Aliens, so kill them before repairing the nearby Atmo for more credits. As you stock up on them, order more troops, preferably Infantry with a few others, and make sure you have at least two Medics. The new landing beacon is right near the repaired Atmo too.
Move all your troops to the southeast, towards the marker indicated on your screen. Quite a few Aliens will attack you before you reach the third Atmo. Repair it and max out on troops now with your new credits. Keep heading for the mining camp.
There are plenty of Aliens guarding this area, and you’re likely to suffer some casualties, but it’s not a big deal at this point. They will all come to you, so kill them all and stand by the landing pad to complete the level.
