	In Response To: Rubicon Volunteers - I'd Rather be a Lutfisk (Steve Levinson) : Here's the 3rd and final post in the Rubicon Volunteers' series for today. : Again, not much to this level, but I hope you like it. And note that : "volunteers" is plural - I could use some help, here. Is there : any interest in these posts? If not, I have other ways to use the time - : like playing chapter 10 of the Yota Saga! Yeah sorry. I have no excuse for not helping, I'm just plain lazy :( : This is another filler level, but it’s one of the most exasperating. A lot : of people, myself included, had trouble finding the way out of this one. I : confess, this is the one time I had to resort to using the Spoiler Guide. : In any case, I can give you one BIG hint – look up. The key once again : is to make use of the air vents and, just because you’re submerged, don’t : forget that they’re there, and accessible in ways that wouldn’t be : possible in air. Wow, I love this level, it's one of my favourites. It's so different from any other level and it's kinda fun to sort duel off gladiator style with the troopers, using only grenades (yes, I know, I'm wierd). : One of the more interesting tricks on this level is that you can use the AR : under water (or is it mercuric enexomer). It’s not very accurate and it's : very slow, but the same thing can be said about the trooper’s weapons in : this environment. One thing you’ll have trouble doing is outrunning the : troopers’ grenades. You need to use a new strategy, here. I run head on to a trooper, turn at the last second and shoot them in the back with a grenade. Of course it only works on normal because they are minor troopers (yes, I know, I suck). : Once you find your way to the transport ship that will carry Haller’s : wetware chip to the UESC Triumph , Durandal treats you to another : soliloquy: : Before you know it we'll be chasing rogue stars again; we made short work : of turning this little war in the UESC's favor, didn't we? If the human : forces only knew that their greatest allies were such a modest pair- an ex : security guard and an ex door operations AI aboard that lovable hunk of : rock, the UESC Marathon . : There are 2 things interesting about this little diatribe. Firstly, : Durandal confirms that we visited that rogue star mentioned at the end of : Marathon 2, so it looks like there’s still room for another 3rd party : scenario to take up that story . . . Secondly, our actions have turned the : war in the UESC’s favor. How the hell did we do that?!! To me, this : doesn’t exactly add up. Sure, we killed a bunch of Pfhor, and we did : restore power to some sections of the Chimera , but how did that end up : making the Pfhor toast? Is this just more of Durandal’s bravado? Probably. : But Admiral Carroway’s still under the weather and the Chimera is still : under siege. More on that in the next level, Harry Legs . Hairy legs, buddy. I dunno anything about Harry's legs :) I think this is just a small story problem. Oh well, they tried. On to Hairy legs!
