Marine Walkthrough: M3
M3. Info Database Grows
Analysts consider the unidentified object you encountered as inconsistent with the Aliens' known profile and not part of the current outbreak.
It's been classified as a remnant of an ancient war and its case file has been closed.
With the communications network now online, information is coming in from all sectors and investigators are sifting through it to devise a plan to halt the spreading Alien presence.
Dr. Kadinsky is spearheading the scientific effort and requires more specific data. Bravo Squad is to support the effort with a search for a missing intelligence team.
Earlier today, a team of specialized Marine intelligence experts was dispatched to collect data in the southern town. They are not responding to inquiries, and Marine Command wants them tracked down, with a full status report of your findings. Unfortunately, rapid developments in all sectors are spreading Marine resources thin, therefore, you must execute this mission without the assistance of a CommTech.
SEARCH FOR MISSING MARINES
Objectives:
* Search for and rescue the Marine squad who were collecting scientific specimens near the town.
* Secure 2 live Alien Eggs with specially designed Egg Carriers.
* Destroy the unknown object.
Optional Objectives:
* Mr. Hirsch, an assistant to Dr. Kadinsky, is joining Bravo Squad as a non-combat observer. He must survive the mission.
Starting Forces:
* 800 Credits
* Mr. Hirsch
* 1 Synthetic
* 1 Medic
* 2 Infantry
* 1 Flamethrower
* 1 Smartgunner
Target Time: 27 minutes
Keeping Mr. Hirsch alive is difficult. You can’t leave him behind as he’ll be killed by Aliens, and you can’t keep in in battles as he’s get slaughtered. The best plan of action is to have him tag along closely behind your main troops. Take your troops and head south and kill the Aliens guarding the entrance to this area. Keep going south and you’ll see the other humans are dead. Kill the Chestbursters around them. Head a little further south to find a CommTech, two Synthetics, and two Egg Carriers.
Now that you have a CommTech you can finally order more troops and upgrades as well. The nearby Atmo will give you 2500 credits and you can also search the Alien north for more Aliens to kill for more credits. Have two of your Synthetics carry the two Egg Carriers. When you have a lot of troops, start moving south. Plenty of Aliens guard the entrance area, but you should be able to kill them all with little or no casualties.
Soon you will encounter another strange object with three Predators guarding it. Kill the Predators and destroy the device, then get ready to enter the Alien Hive.
Now this part is tricky! You want to kill the Aliens, but not all their Eggs! First have your troops go through and kill as many of the Aliens as possible. Don’t go too deep into the Hive though, try to make the Aliens come out to you. Also don’t go too near the Eggs with your troops, as they will open. Having them on No Attack or Stand Ground so they only attack enemies you command is also a good idea. If you find a place with many Eggs and no Aliens guarding it, that is perfect. You don’t need to kill the Queen, but avoid trying to collect Eggs from around her.
When you are ready, send your Synthetics to the Eggs and have them collect two. The Eggs will not open for a Synthetic. Once you collect two, the mission is complete.
