Day 8: Fallout

Day 8: Fallout

Primary Objectives:  Defend the Vent System / Defend the Reactor
Secondary Objectives:  Defend the Bridge Access

This is a simple defending challenge, and you can lose the vents and still win as long as the Reactor is not lost.  Best advice here is to use cover as best you can, and try to stick with the group when you can.

If you lose the Vent System -- and it happens about half the time you play this level because it is one of those deals where bad luck can really mess you up -- you just have to make sure that you hold the Reactor for 17 minutes.

Protecting the Reactor Control System

The best way to do that is to go to the Reactor Room and place one mine in front of each of the two control access points -- that way you can guard one while the mine detonating at the other will let you know that they are trying to hack it!  Simply move between the points, taking out the enemy who appear in the windows overhead. 

Shoot in short controlled bursts and you will do very well...  Yeah, it gets a little boring having to protect the controls but that is the point of this mission!

Success unlocks the Achievement "You've Saved the Ark" (75 GP) that you get for winning all of the main Security Missions (minus the What-If missions), so good on ya mate!  Well done!

This just leaves the two What-If Missions, so why don't we do those now and be done with the Security side of the game?

It also unlocks the 03/19/45 Journal for Founder Barbara Elmhurst, and the Security Campaign Movie.
