	Message: : I finished this one last night and was quite inspired to do a write-up of it, : so here goes: for a start the help refers to the rather unique use of Bobs : in the level. I'm not entirely sure but I assume if you let them all die : you are stuck from pretty early on. Unfortunately I'm also still playing : with no terminal pictures ... not too sure why but I believe this made it : much harder to work out where to go in the later stage of the level, and : even led me to inadvertently discover a rather convoluted secret.... : From the terminal in the first room it sounds as if this is going to be a : pretty short trip - just get to the transporter up a lift not too far : away. Unfortunately it doesn't quite turn out that way. Down the first : lift we encounter some pirates and a locked door, and then a nasty ambush : in a 2x recharger room the other way - best to pop back out and take them : from the corridor; fun with shotguns. Even more fighters pop in from a : corridor heading out far up above when we get right up to the charger. I : tried grenading myself up there a few times later on but couldn't quite : swing it - anything useful there? : The room nearby is where we were told to get to, but it turns out we can't : turn that lift on at the moment! There is another lift on a platform here, : but it seems to be home only to a couple of troopers. The next room has a : terminal that acknowledges that our task will now be a bit more difficult : - this is where those pictures would make all the difference I think. All : I got was that the Bobs were going to have to help us, and the "this : is the last elevator the humans can help you with" didn't mean much : to me on its own. Never mind. : More fighters in the next room and then some windows open up to show a whole : row of projectile fighters above a lava pool. Plenty of them fall in there : in the process and the rest are made short work of with fusion, or magnum : if you have enough. And now we can hit the switch at the side of the : platform they were on - it opens a door and releases a bunch of Bobs into : that room. They tend to need a bit of encouragement to start moving - in : the form of a few bullets :) - but one will eventually make it down the : stairs and all the way along the path to open that locked door - very : useful. : Once we get in there there is another fight that puts those Bobs at risk - at : least we've got that recharger nearby, even if no pattern buffer yet. : There is a room off the platform above the lava with some ammo, and as I : discovered, another one near the other end of the platform - nice : symmetry. Then we carry on to another ambush and then another lava pool : with a platform to help us to the top. Now it seems pretty quiet ... and : heading around the circular ledge we enter a corridor and find: a pattern : buffer; another 2x recharger; and a few terminals with some random stories : about: a money-making scheme using BBSes (a nice look at the past with the : dates 1989-90), with names linked to the "USEC Marathon" ... : somehow that's not quite right; a green-card lottery to be shut down in : light of a bill in the Earth government; and a new computer virus - a : panicky piece of text not unlike what we've seen in the past. Other than : the mention of the Marathon in this otherwise unrelated scenario, I didn't : get much out of it all. Anyway, there's a switch here as well. : And as the only way to go is back, we soon find out what the switch did. : Getting back down on the platform over the lava calls for a grenade or : two, as just pressing the switch doesn't give you quite enough time. After : clearing the pirates we go down the lift and find some troopers and : hunters around square columns, which eventually lead us to a locked door : from near the beginning of the level ... and at least the way I did it, : not much else of note. Walking up to the door opens it but nothing seems : different on the other side ... hmmm. : Anyway, being curious, I went back and found a door on one side of the second : square column - which leads to a switch and two breakable circuit boards. : The result of dealing with these is the draining of the lava from the : pools and the opening of a door in one of them. I didn't notice that last : bit for a couple of sweeps, as I was really trying to find something that : could help me with the mission. But then it turned into quite a secret - a : MOAH guarding a lift up to an area looking something like 'House of Pain' : and containing a couple of SPNKRs! And then further on, a lift to a secret : terminal, situated at the top of the first lava pool - I had wondered what : was there. : Thankfully when I then returned down the lift to the square column rooms I : found the small cubby hole of the side of the last corridor now went : further, courtesy of a Bob that had somehow made his way down there - at : this point I remembered this part of the level from long ago ... as if : from a dream. I don't fully understand how this series of platforms : operates, but from just one switch and some waiting on in-between : platforms, we eventually get to the platform we were trying for all along, : and now we can switch the switches controlling it, yay. : And then we take off to a much easier level.... : Cheers.
