Briefing[]
Employees at one of our main power plants have just transmitted an emergency distress signal. They are requesting immediate assistance.
According to their report, a fire has broken out in the facility and the automatic fire suppression system isn't responding. If the fire reaches the power condensers, the plant will be leveled.
We'd like you to enter the facility and manually activate the fire suppression system. This is the only way to stop the fire from spreading.
While the exact cause of the fire is unknown at this time, sabotage is suspected. Proceed with caution.

Walkthrough[]
This mission will pose a challenge to both newcomers and veterans alike. It is best to ensure that you are adequately equipped for this mission (having good cooling prowess is essential as overheating will be present) and a fair bit of ammo. Although many of the enemies you face in this level are cannon fodder, the end fight will prove different.
First, you will need to make your way down to an elevator shaft. Head through the door straight from your starting point and it will lead you down a long corridor where there're a number of ceiling turrets that will open fire. Although these aren't dangerous per se, they can prove to be a nuisance, so it's best to clear them out. Make a left turn to another corridor, down it will lead you to a room with 2 Glide Cobra MTs. They don't need to be destroyed, but do so if they get in your way. Activate the device to unlock the fire door locks, and then head back out to the corridor, before making another left turn. This passage will lead you to the first room which has a blazing inferno. There's an Arrow Porter MT inside but it's advised to ignore it and head for the fire suppression system at the end of the room. Once you have activated the fire suppression system, it's advised to get out as quickly as possible, as more often than not you will be sustaining damage from overheating.
Next, head back out to the corridor and go back to the longer corridor. You can either make a right turn to next room (which is a left turn from that corridor), or head down straight to the 3rd room, which has another Arrow Porter MT. The right turn will lead you to a corridor with ceiling turrets and a Glide Cobra MT, with an empty room ablaze. Clear out the enemies as you go, and once you have activated the fire suppression systems in that room, return to the elevator shaft. You will be led back to the starting point, and this is final phase of the mission.
As you head through the door to your starting point, an I-C003-IN will be there, waiting to attack. This boss is unlike your standard AC foe you encounter in missions, as it has traits that distinguish it from them. The I-C003-IN is armed with missiles, a grenade launcher, a two-handed plasma cannon and a fast-swinging blade. It can fire its grenade launcher while moving, much like an OP-INTENSIFY-enhanced AC. The I-C003-IN will strafe around the room firing off missile salvos at great speed or repeatedly fire its grenade launcher. The enclosed space of the map combined with the flaming condensers can make projectile avoidance harder, though the condensers can provide cover from the enemy's unrelenting fire.
Beating the I-C003-IN will take more than conventional firepower to bring down, as it is quite a durable foe, not to mention its speed is on par with that of a mobile midweight AC despite its size. Avoiding its attacks will be a no-brainer, as the environment in the room raises the ambient temperature making you more susceptible to overheating. Weapons that pack a punch are recommended against the I-C003-IN, bazookas, missiles, chain guns and machine guns are effective in dealing with it. Grenade launchers like its own are also effective. Note that the I-C003-IN will use its two-handed plasma cannon as it sustains increasing damage, though it has to remain stationary while doing so, leaving it vulnerable to punishment. Although blades are viable, it's not advised to attack it head-on as the I-C003-IN has a blade of its own which it will use if an opening presents itself, not to mention it has a bad penchant of shooting its grenade launcher at point blank range.
Once the I-C003-IN is destroyed, the mission is over. If you have taken less than 40% of damage from the mission, you should have unlocked the left-arm spread bazooka. If done quick enough (3 mins 50 secs), you should also unlock the new laser rifle.
Trivia[]
- The secret optional part item OP-TQ/ESE hidden in this mission. It is located right past the other side of the immobile door. It requires you to go to the room on the right when you descend the elevator. There is a breakable panel on the top right hand corner of that room. Destroy it and it will lead you down a narrow long corridor. At the end of that narrow long corridor is another breakable panel. Destroy it and you will enter a room with a bunch of guard MTs, you can choose to destroy or ignore them. There's a door in that room, head through it to the corridor and it will lead you to the part.
- Can obtain left arm part CWG-SBZL-20. To unlock this part, complete the mission having destroyed all enemies and with 60% or more AP left.
- Can obtain MWG-XCP/150 laser rifle. To unlock the part, complete the mission within 3 minutes and 50 seconds.
