Briefing[]
Another situation has developed at power plant number seven. The facility's main control system has malfunction and now our monitoring stations are registering alarming temperature spikes.
The Employee who was in charge of maintaining the control systems has disappeared, and we believe he may have intentionally sabotaged it. Other recent events were probably his doing as well.
Not only did this individual design most of the plant's systems, he was also on e of our most promising AI research scientists.
Unfortunately, rumors that he also had ties to an outside laboratory involved in some rather strange experiments were ignored. It's obvious now that his time with us was spent as a spy.
On top of sabotaging the Main Control Systems, it seems he also introduced a number of unmanned battle MTs into the plant. All of our attempts to deal with these units have failed.
The only option left to us is to send in an AC. Enter the power plant, locate the main control system and shut it down. This situation must be resolved, we're counting on you Raven.
Enemies[]
11 Nashorn MTs

Walkthrough[]
First off, a suit with powerful cooling is very important to have, as this mission's main threat is constant heat stress. If you can't deal with the heat stress and end up bottoming out your energy, at least bringing legs that can jump will still let you clear the mission. And while all the enemies are optional, they are not particularly dangerous, but can still get in your way, so a powerful physical weapon is nice to bring to deal with them. You'll need all the energy you can spare for your radiator, so energy weapons are not recommended. Twelve generators can be destroyed before failing the mission, unlike the previous mission which was only two. The generators are also much more durable, and can catch stray fire from the MTs around and not explode, but you should still be careful not to inflict more damage then you need to.
The path to the end is staightforward, proceeding past the first room into the room with a forking path.
Hidden ANANDA radiator, found at the end of the left path.
While taking the right path will take you to the control system and mission objective, the left path holds a hidden part. At the very end of the left hallway will be the ANANDA radiator part, sitting quite visibly out in the open. You'll need to be fast to get it and still make it out of the mission before the heat stress gets too overpowering though.
After engaging the control system, the timer will disappear, but the heat stress will remain and continue to build. Simply return to the start to complete the mission.
