Briefing[]
After some investigation, it appears Crest is responsible for the placement of numerous electromagnetic pulse generators in nearby ventilation ducts.
Ever since they began operating, one of our facilities adjacent to the ducts has experienced repeated system outages.
The devices were supposedly put in place to deter Controller forces for entering the ducts, However we have doubts as to how effective they might be in accomplishing this.
Enter the ducts and disable all devices. The electromagnetic pulses they release are harmful, so move quickly.
Enemies[]

- Bamakuru Turrets

Walkthrough[]
This mission is somewhat difficult only in that your armor is constantly draining away due to the pulse generators. Hence you must act quickly before you die. In short, your AP is the time limit. It is recommended to take a medium weight AC that has some good mobility to also give you more durability, otherwise you may not be able to finish the mission.
There are four targets that must be disabled. One is on the floor nearby, two are in separate ventilation shafts and the fourth is in the second part of the chamber, above where you start. It is best to ignore the turrets and UAVs, just focus on speed - they will not follow you to the side ducts anyway. Two of the generators are in these, and you will have to destroy same grating on your way. Each pulse generator shut down reduces the rate of AP loss. After half of the generators are disabled a Raven, Twinhead-B, will show up. If you want to fight her, clear out the enemies inside the second chamber and disable three of the generators first, in order to give yourself maximum time to take her out.
Hidden Part[]
There is also a secret part on this level, the MEST-MX/CROW, which is useful in the Arena and Multiplayer. It is found in a dead end duct, just before the final generator.
