Moments later he was shot in front of me. He told me that he had sent a miner to check on me, who told me to follow him. Waking once more to Hendrix’s voice, I got out of the remains of the pod. I felt like I was in the Millennium Falcon! I ran for the escape pod and got in with seconds to spare, launching back to the relative safety of the planet below. My third countdown in the past twenty minutes! I found a switch at the top and it didn’t do anything, however the switch at the very bottom of the room turned the upper switch on - and pressing both started a two minute countdown. It didn’t react to weapons fire, so I went looking. I pressed a button, then returned to the reactor. No, not because I was afraid, but because I was planning my escape! There were some floating drones which fired lasers at me, but the lower gravity aided my evasion as I blasted them and subsequently some guards. I had to take out the orbital station, so headed for the security section to unlock the escape pods. On the station, I spotted some wanted posters, and found that Parker was just as wanted as Eos, and for a longer list of reasons too! Unlike the one in Part One - not being blown out of the sky I managed to hide - which was required for some reason - and the shuttle took off, headed for Ultor’s orbital station above Mars. The APC took hardly any damage as guards and mercs all tried to stop me, but I reached the warehouse and boarded the shuttle. Because there was another timer going, and I had seven minutes to get to the shuttle before it left! This was made much easier due to the APC I then stole. Waking up to Hendrix asking if I was okay, I went out through the window of the tram and made my way through loads of mercs. Instead of being blown up, I was instead smashed into a wall as the timer reached three… It started a timer, so I legged it back to the tram. I made my way to another computer, which Parker put another disc into to override the missile hatches. I forgot to screenshot before I capped them all.Įos came through my comm to confirm she had the cure, and was indeed alive, before I pulled up to the next platform. It turned out that I needed to go to the next station anyway, which the mercs tried to prevent by chasing me in another tram. After only a couple of mercs down, the tram left much to my surprise. As I was pinned down by enemy fire, I decided to pick them off. I jumped into a tram and it left, pulling up at a station. I encountered some and made my way to the nearby tram system. Unfortunately, Ultor had now called in their band of mercenaries, who were apparently taking out both miners and guards. Hendrix had Parker insert a disc into one of Ultor’s computers - I have no idea where he got it - and I left to take out the missile defence system. It led me to an elevator and a cable car across a chasm. There were a couple of small mutants and some foliage, and I went up into a ventilation shaft. I made my way around some crumbled rocks and into the planet once more. Surprisingly, I didn’t see him die - maybe this was a change to the status quo! At the end of the canyon the other miner said that he would guard the rear, as I went on ahead. We drove down the canyon, him driving erratically and me behind the mounted gun as guards popped out here and there. With Eos suspected dead in Capek’s secret underground lab, due to its self-destruction, it was down to Parker and an unnamed miner to go on to the next objective… I suspected this newcomer would be dead in the following three minutes… Whether you’re a newcomer or an old-goer, I hope to make this something you can read along with and enjoy.
