Briefing[]
We are requesting an escort for a shipment of our newly developed AC
part. Our Competitors would very much like to acquire this part and
have already attempted to seize it.
The part is has been kept safe until now, but we've decided it's time
to move it from our development lab to a more secure location,
specifically Kregg Fortress.
Should news of this get out, the transport will undoubtedly be
attacked. We want you to escort the transport and make sure the part
arrives safely at Kregg Fortress."
Eliminate and resistance you encounter and make certain that the
transport is not intercepted. Good luck.

Walkthrough[]
This is a surprisingly easy escort mission. You will be attacked by an enemy Raven shortly after the mission commences. Tiny El is fairly mobile, but lacks in defence, and more importantly he mostly focuses his attacks on the transport. While his firepower is not the highest, if you give him some time the transport will get destroyed, at which point you will be ordered to take the bonus part, failing the mission but retaining the part in your possession.
If you intend to beat the mission normally, just bring the heaviest firepower you can afford and start hammering on Tiny El the moment he gets close to the transport. He will switch target between you and the transport vehicle on will, but he is likely to focus on you if you stay close. Try to position yourself aside both the enemy and your protectee, then fire away. His AC is fairly weak, so it will not take long to destroy it.
Trivia[]
- The head part (EHD-SCOPEEYE) can be found hidden in the mission. The part can be found in the transport you have to protect. So you will normally fail the mission if you take it, but if you do it right it is possible to obtain the part without failing the mission. First you have to destroy the transport that will reveal the part, then destroy the AC while you are close to the part. The operator will start his message and you can take the part. This way you should obtain the part without failing the mission.
- Despite what the briefing states, the assailant will seek not to capture, but to destroy the AC part.
