• Generate 65 gq/s Energy

Secondary Objectives:

• Enable Trunk Port (Mine)
• Enable Trunk Port (Escort)

Walkthrough:

This level has a lot of Control Towers that you can reprogram right from the start to make the level a little bit easier. Create 3 Engineers at C1, and send them out to reprogram (in whatever order you want) C2, C4, C5, C6, C9, C10, and C11. The others will be reprogrammed as you come across them completing the objectives.

Next to C10, create a Squad (decompile an Engineer if you have no Task Manager? slots left). Move it to the area shown on the map with a red circle, and take out the two Triffids, so they don't cause havoc for you later on. Be careful - the hill they are on is very steep, and you could easily end up blowing your Squad up.

Back at C2, create a Squad, and clear a path to C3, harvesting souls with your Engineers as you go. Once the Engineers get close enough to C3, they'll reprogram it, and begin bringing souls to the nearby Incubator, I1. Finish clearing the Virii out of the area, and let the Engineers harvest the rest of the souls. Now, promote a Darwinian to Officer, and with the FOLLOW? command (if you have it, use the GOTO? command if you don't) lead the DGs to the four Solar Panels? on the island. The DGs will take up positions around the Solar Panels?, 5 to each, for a total of twenty. This will send power to the Generator (GEN on the map), but it won't be enough to complete the Primary Objective. Have the Officer bring the rest near to the Radar Dish, R1, and leave them all there for now.

The next island will be very similar to the first one. Create a Squad at Control Tower C6, and clear a path to C7, harvesting souls with Engineers as you go. Watch out for the Spiders - they jump around a lot. Reprogram C7, and harvest souls for processing in I2, the nearby Incubator. Clear the island of Virii and Centipedes, harvesting as you go, and don't forget to reprogram C8, way up on the hill. Once more, promote a DG to Officer, and have him direct the DGs to occupy the four Solar panels? on the island. Use the Officer to bring the remaining DGs close to Radar Dish R4, and leave them all there for now.

Last island. Create a Squad at C10, and clear the island, making sure the area around the Solar Panels? is free of Virii. If you don't have the patience to wait for the Spore Generator to lower itself, just make sure you destroy any Virii below it - it will basically be rendered uselesss and harmless. Now that you have an enemy-free island, you can freely Dish in the DGs you'll need to man the Solar Panels?. Aim both R1 and R4 at R5, and send over the DGs you had previously parked next to them. Promote an Officer (or bring one over from one of the other islands), and point the DGs to the Solar Panels?. You're done. Next.
