: First of all, it's important to note that this is the first level in the
: failure branch of this chapter. Had we been very fast on the last level
: and completed our task in time, we would have gone with Lela. On the other
: hand, Forrest provided an alternative, which is a good thing because I've
: never completed the two chip insertions in time. If you revisit Hathor's
: terminal after inserting the chips, Lela's terminal will have moved there
: and you can still take the success branch, which we'll definitely want to
: do eventually.
I didn't even know that the level was timed, and um, yes, that level i just posted on? That was the first in the failure branch, and don't you forget it! :)
: Those compilers do count toward the monster count, however, and there are
: enough of them to prevent you from leaving if you don't clear out everyone
: else in the level.
Ahh, a neat trick.
: I agree - the hive room is outstanding - definitely a real highlight of the
: scenario. Now although the monsters won't fire on you for the most part,
: there are trigger poly's throughout and they sometimes activate monsters
: that aren't right in front of you, so you do need to be careful. You can
: generally snipe at the monsters from a distance and not take any damage if
: you're fast at it.
I was able to take out five or six with grenades before I jumped in with the plasma cannon.
