| Description | Confidential : Site N327
The enemy have built a laser cannon at the site N237. This cannon, will be able to target a third of the earth's surface, thanks to an orbital mirror they are sending up into space soon; we are unsure of how the laser generates the power, but we believe it has something to do with a gold lined firing tube amplifying the power. We need to disable this cannon before they launch this satellite, and this is where you come in. We need you to infiltrate the site and disable the cannon. When you first enter, there will only be mininal security, a couple of railguns and the laser cannon itself, which has been configured so that it can target areas inside it's structure to aid it's security staff when not in use. First, you must hit the four switches on it's ceiling mount, which will open access to the two side power routers. By destroying both of these, the railguns will be taken offline as their power is directly passed through the device. When they are offline, access to the main power source will be opened; however, this will be noticed and so there is a very good chance that guards will be sent, espescially since there will only be the laser defending the area without them. Once the power source door is open, enter it. You may need to divert the laser's fire elsewhere first, as the power is directly below a firing port; fortunately, the laser design means that there is a second lock on time in which you will be able to move out of the way, and once the laser is firing it will do so for five seconds before it can disengage and start firing again. Once the power source is destroyed, the laser will become unstable as it requires constant power to overcome an unstability in the crystal used in it's construction. As a result, the laser will no longer work. However, using emergency power a rocket bank will be unlocked in a last attempt to destroy the intruder for later intelligence purposes, and all entry doors to the base will be locked down. Fortunately, there is still an exit; the hole in the structure from which the laser is fired. Enter that, and then you can escape and report back. Good luck, soldier. ~N~N~N~ Anyway, past the story. Hopping on the "BOSS" bandwagon. This one works a little differently from most of the ones I've seen; instead of just weapons being destroyed as switches are hit, the weapons used change. Case in point: destroying the side panels removes the gauss turrets, but add two seeker drones into the arena, and trapdooring the laser drone unlocks the rocket turrets. Also, a HP counter will be found in the top right corner, (with the label in the left) with quarters that unlock not for each hit but for the critical structures switches. 76 seconds of collectible gold available, medium - hard difficulty. |
