Starship Troopers: Terran Ascendancy - Hydra

Good evening, Lieutenant. I want to remind you that every aspect of thismission is highly classified. All members of your platoon have been placed under oath.

We are at the farthest reaches of Terran space, and about as far as one can get from the Arachnid Quarantine Zone. TFTC Xenophon is holding orbit above an experimental farming station, code named Hydra One. It is a completely automated production facility, monitored by a handful of tech personnel.

As the number of Terran refugees grows, we need to be able to feed all those hungry mouths. Here at Hydra One, they were cultivating the same high protein fungus that the bugs use to feed their own colonies. The test phase was all but completed, and the early results were extremely promising. It seemed that soon we would be able to feed millions of refugees. Then, one month ago, Command HQ lost contact with Hydra One.

Since arriving in orbit we have been unable to get any response from station personnel. The emergency power shield around the base has been activated, all
other systems are either off-lined or running on emergency power. Until that shield is deactivated, we cannot know if there is anyone alive in there.

Our mission objectives are as follows:

We will drop onto the base's secondary landing strip. It has been unused since the construction crews left two years ago, but will be suitable for our purposes. Tac-recon have confirmed the presence of arachnids on the surface, so we must be cautious.

We must then proceed directly to the central base and establish a means of entry. Once we are inside the station, I will make a fresh assessment of the situation. Your team is to protect me at all times, and assist any survivors we may find
there.

Proceed now to assemble your strike team.

Summary of Objectives

1. Escort Major Bishop to Central base.
2. Ensure Major Bishop survives until retrieval.

At 2:34 where that light colored shading is on that cliff, you can jump your jump troopers up there and make your way over to where the brain bug is. Use the capture/retrieval tool to take the brain off of the map and you won't constantly get attacked later in the mission.
