	Message: : The next stage of your pursuit of Michael opens with a bang as you are : surrounded by Metalloids in an abandoned subway station. Kill everyone, : save on the pay phone, then pick up the 1x canister in the supervisor's : office (or whatever). Smash the 3 working screens, this opens the door : across the tracks. The neat animated static outside the door is done with : a rapidly oscillating platform. The map writing promises "This is the : coolest yet- DIE", although the level's difficulty is similar to the : more moderate previous level. The architecture, however, is the most : confusing we've yet encountered, and this level is very easy to get lost : in. : In the next tunnel, you'll be attacked by a group of sphere bots. Use the : motion tracker to locate and kill the Gunner as soon as you drop down the : hole to the east, then you're in the sewer proper. This level has some : very nice effects, such as the rotating fan shaft. The pulse rifle is : actually useful down here, since the enemies are usually at long range and : like to stay on the ledges, but watch out for the small army of head bots : that appears if you grab the ammo cache in front of you. Head north, : exploring the various side rooms available, until you reach a terminal. : Watch out for the ambush as you approach it, then look at an incredibly : complicated diagram of the level which actually does explain which : switches to hit, but I find it very difficult to read. Then, head to the : wall south of the terminal and navigate the vibrating tanks- there's a 2x : recharger in here (thank god). You get out by walking up to the gray wall, : which lets you into another room. : The design of this level can be quite confusing: There are a set of ladders : that will let you into an upper level which is placed exactly overlapping : the lower one. As usual, this renders the map view pretty much useless : until you remember what features are on which level when exploring. : Once you've killed everything obvious on the upper deck, you can start to : solve the level proper. Find the room with a balcony overlooking a pool; : there's a shotgun in here. Shoot the circuits. Now, you have to do a : little underwater exploring, so pull out the pulse rifle which will work : under liquids. At the south end of the southwest corner of the upper : level, there's a small space you can sink down into, do so. Go south, then : turn right and sink into the floor, then right again- after a very long : swim up, you'll find an oxygen charger, a pattern buffer, and the door you : have to open to continue in the level. Charge, save, and jump back into : the maze. : Continue along the corridor to the east and you'll find a room full of : Metalloids, but don't worry, they can't attack underwater. Pulse them all, : then swim up the ceiling shaft in the north (it won't appear on the map) : and get back into a dry tunnel. Shoot the circuits in the large room and : head on back. The southwest exit from the Metalloid room leads back around : (swim up after passing the room you saw earlier) to the pool with the : first smashed circuit, and a passage that puts you back in the upper sewer : level. : Head back to the waterfall on the extreme east end of the upper level, and : shoot the circuit which has been revealed behind it. Then, jump back into : the underwater section and return to the oxygen charger room to save and : continue. : Follow the subway tunnel around and take care of the posse of floaters, then : enter the column room and immediately head to one of the walls. Pick up : the ammo that teleports in by skirting the edges of the room; this lets : you avoid a huge teleporting ambush. Walk into the southwest side passage : to open up the exit of the room, a shattered panel in the south. : At the end of the line is another somehow "wrong" mechanical area, : with shifting walls and strange sounds. Run into the darkened room (the : door opens automatically) and prepare to take on an army of Metalloids, : including a huge robot armed with a machine gun and a rocket launcher. : This is the Gattler , the most powerful standard class of Metalloid. You : can get up onto the ledge that circles the room by running over the crates : from east to west; kill everyone and hit the switch in the west to open a : small door to the east. Save and read the terminal. : Wait a second- that's not what happened! Yep, the terminal picture shows you : fighting Michael again, and when I asked the real Ian a while back he : confirmed that it's a bug in the level and the Gattler was indeed supposed : to be Michael. This also explains the presence of the brothers' trademark : hissing sound in the room. I'm not sure if that would have made the fight : easier or harder, since I don't know how much damage Michael would have : taken as compared to the Gattler (and how much he'd inflict on you, : although even on DW Michael's attack just takes about half a health bar, : not the instant death his web profile seems to promise), and your strategy : would probably have been about the same (keep running around the room : shotgunning the lesser Metals like a maniac before turning the dual : shotguns or Conch on the big baddie). One wonders how the beta testers, : and indeed Ian himself, let this one slip by. : Meanwhile, the virtual Ian tells us that he can teleport us out now. Time for : some last minute shopping...
