Marine Walkthrough: M2
M2. Alien Incident Reviewed
USCM Command is currently consulting with research scientist Dr. Samuel Kadinsky on an analysis of the creatures you neutralized during your previous mission.
Similar outbreaks will not be tolerated, as Weyland-Yutani demands that there be no further delays to its mining operation.
Marine Command is looking into other possible disturbances and requires a broad communications network be built to track and coordinate efforts.
Marine personnel are working around the clock to keep the peace and to avoid any additional setbacks.
Your ultimate objective in this mission is to deploy a network relay device that is central to the communications network currently under construction. First, you are to locate and secure the network relay that is stored in an outpost to the north with whom contact has been lost. A Synthetic engineer is the only unit cleared to handle the device, so make sure one is available when it is located. Once the network relay is secured, await further orders, as telemetry engineers are now working to determine its optimal deployment location. Optional goals will arise during the mission, and are displayed on the pause menu. They are worthy goals, but are not required for a successful mission.
ESTABLISH COMMUNICATIONS NETWORK:
DEPLOY NETWORK RELAY
Objectives:
* Get the network relay from the storage yard to the northeast. It is marked on the map. Enlist a Synthetic engineer to operate and carry the unit.
* Install the Network Relay on the high plateau. Deployment location is marked on the map.
* Destroy the hostile object.
Optional Objectives:
* Kill the Queen of the Hive.
Starting Forces:
* 350 Credits
* 1 CommTech
* 1 Synthetic
* 1 Medic
* 2 Infantry
* 1 Flamethrower
Target Time: 23 minutes
First, get your CommTech to repair the nearby Atmo. Aliens will attack you soon so take care of them. When you have enough credits, start ordering more troops. I would recommend waiting here until you get all 2000 credits from this Atmo. Then head east, there’s another Atmo right there! This one should give you enough for all the upgrades you want as well as even more troops. Now head northwest up the pass marked on my handy little map. There is yet another Atmo along the way so you should be able to max out on troops.
This path will lead to the Queen, who is not well defended. You should watch out for Facehuggers though as they can be devastating if you don’t kill them quickly. After you kill her though, more Aliens will come to you. With that taken care of, order some troops to replace the ones that died in battle, and now head southeast towards the network relay. Once you enter the area, you’ll be attacked by quite a few Aliens.
Have a CommTech repair the nearby Atmo while the rest of your troops fight off the Aliens. When you believe they are done attacking you, order for more troops if you lost any fighting. Take a Synthetic and have it grab the network relay device. Now head north and through the pass.
Head to the new area marked on your map. This area is defended by tons of Aliens, and if you feel like you are losing the battle, pull back and order more troops.
As you approach the deploy point, you’ll encounter a strange object that shoots at you. Destroy it quickly and kill the other Aliens here. Then have your Synthetic carrying the network relay stand on the marked spot to finish the level.
