Briefing[]
"Raven, we've lost communication with the reconnaissance team sent in to take control of Fortress VG-924. According to their last transmission, they encountered multiple ACs."
"While adept in such skills as espionage and hacking, the reconnaissance team would be easy pickings for an AC. If they are to finish their mission, the ACs must be eliminated."
"To assure that everything goes smoothly, we've arranged to have another Raven accompany you on this assignment. Please work together and good luck."

Walkthrough[]
This is a 2-on-2 AC battle. It is ultimately up to you to choose whether to go for Mileage or 7th Heaven first. If you choose to go for Mileage first, then make sure 7th Heaven doesn't have you in her sights, as she can dish out some nasty firepower if you let her close. Dealing with Mileage isn't that hard, he's rather fragile for a reverse-joint AC and will fall easily to some heavy shots. His evasion is not too good either, he just has a tendency to jump around every now and then. Furthermore, he doesn't have any sort of missile defense, so missiles are effective against him. Blading Mileage is also a good idea, but note that he is also especially quick to strike with his own blade, so make sure you don't blade him head-on. He also lacks decent firepower for killing an AC outright so you don't need to worry about this too much. In spite of that, his sniper rifle can prove to be a nuisance as it is fairly accurate and not so easy to avoid. After Mileage is gone, you can now focus entirely on 7th Heaven. Since she's piloting a tank, she has very limited mobility and is very easy to land hits on. You also have Carom helping you out in this mission as well, so it's all the more better.
If you choose to go after 7th Heaven first however, then it's best to kill her quickly, as she has weapons with high DPS and heat stress. Her loadout is all for close combat, so staying at mid distance will be enough to take on her safely. Blading is also recommended as she has no melee weapons of any sort, but do note that she has a spread howitzer as well which can cancel your blade animation should you get hit by it, so avoid blading her head-on. She seldom uses her rocket launcher. Try to outmaneuver her first before blading her. After 7th Heaven is down, simply finish off Mileage with your other weapons.
On a final note, both of your opponents are liable to take sporadic stops during combat when engaged by Carom, letting you pour in some serious damage while they are sitting ducks.
Trivia[]
- The six pillars set throughout the chamber house heat transfer pipes. They are destructible and cause the room temperature to raise by 100 degrees Celsius. Each pipe destroyed will cost you 1500 credits.
- You are going to receive extra 10000 credits for each Raven defeated, assuring you a total of 50000 credits as a reward for this mission.
- Can obtain left arm part CLB-LS-3771. You need to have started this mission as extra from Infiltrate New Fortress and complete the mission with Carom alive and have over 70% AP. One way to do it is to stay outside the 7th Heaven's weapons range, and rely on Carom to take aggro from Mileage while you blindside him.
- Can obtain the FCS part PLS-SRA02. Boost to the top of the room. Sits atop the pipe inside the upper cylindrical space.
- Can obtain the right arm part CWGG-GRS-30. Destroy all of the heat pipes around the room. Take a strong radiator to counteract the ambient heat released in the process.
