Briefing[]
An attack has been launched on our research lab. Thankfully, security forces detected the breach early and were able to get all key employees aboard the monorail and out of harms way.
But for some reason, power to the monorail has been cut and it's just sitting on the tracks. The employees onboard are integral to our research efforts and must be protected.
The security team is focused on restoring power and safeguarding the lab. Protect the monorail until the power is brought back online.
Enemies[]
- 12 Scutum C-type MTs
Dialogue[]
Monorail Conductor: "Raven, security says there are MTs heading this way. We still don’t have power."
Laine Meyers: "Radar, active! Targets closing!"
Monorail Conductor: "We’re hit! Do something!!"
Monorail Conductor: "Oh...oh no!"(if mission failed)
Laine Meyers: "Second wave approaching!"
Laine Meyers: "Third wave approaching!"
Monorail Conductor: "Power has been restored! Pulling out!"

Walkthrough[]
Fairly simplistic, this mission has you fend the monorail from 3 waves of Scutum MTs, 6 in the first wave on alternating sides, then 4 in the second wave from both sides simultaneously, then a final wave of 2 MTs, one from each side.. It's best to have a good radar range or watch your consort (if you chose one) to see where they are attacking from. Otherwise, bring a high powered weapon and you won't have any problems in this mission.
Getting an S-rank requires you to take out the Scutums very quickly, but they are quite durable. They won't go down in one shot even to grenades.
