: Before you get to the aforementioned
: terminal, you may notice a small side corridor that leads to the lungs, a
: large open area with a lava pool protecting a switch.

Behind this switch and at the bottom of the lava pool is a nice cache of 10 shotgun shells.

: This takes you to an hellasious (sp?)
: area with a MOAH, a MOAC and a bunch of troopers. There's a 1X recharger
: at the entrance, but you really don't have enough ammo to take out the
: MOA's without hurting your chances later on (remember to hoard fusion
: batteries), and if one of them gets in your way, you may just be out of
: luck.

Anytime you have MOAHs and MOACs in the same room, remember that they are enemies of each other. If you can get one of the MOAC's grenades to hit the MOAH, it will shoot at the MOAC until it is dead. As for the MOAH, remember that it only takes about 40-45 running punches to take it out. I'm not saying this room is easy, but there are ways to get through it, defeat the enemies, and conserve ammo.

: A second crushing
: platform will have lowered, but this one is controlled by a switch back by
: all the bobs. You need to stand on the second platform and fire a grenade
: or fusion bolt back at the switch.

Alternatively, if you stand ON the lowered platform and QUICKLY run in and out of the long corridor, it is possible to activate the platform and ride it up without shooting at the far away switch. Back when I was playing this scenario alot, it got very annoying trying to hit that switch. That's when I noticed that you don't need the switch at all. But you have to be VERY QUICK and must BARELY touch the long corridor before the platform is activated. With practice, it becomes much easier.
