Defeat the Alien War Ship

I found a cache of rockets and Gauss ammo behind some heavy steel cases and an over-turned vehicle. The boxes appeared to be great cover from the noises that were coming from the area to the east of the ship. I was loaded and ready. Psycho and Helena were in the VTOL watching from above.

Then it came out of the water and appeared before me. The machine's war ship.



This machine was a beast! It was just as large as the carrier and was armed with a shield that kept it safe from our shots. Gauss ammo and rockets did not phase the machine. Helena decided to try the same idea we attempted earlier by using our Nanosuits to send a signal toward the war ship.

My vision blurred as Helena upped the charge this time.



Helena's idea worked again! We were able to take down the shield around the war ship. A few of the smaller machines arrived to attack me, but the Gauss rifle appeared to take them down without any issues. Funny, I remembered how I feared the challenge in taking down those machines when the island was frozen. Now, it seems like they are nothing to handle.

With the shields down and the small machines destroyed, I had to destroy the turrets that were launching rockets at both myself and the VTOL with Psycho and Helena inside.



Using the rocket launchers, I pumped three rockets into each of the four turrets in front of the war ship. The war ship was now unprotected, so I grabbed one more set of rockets and fired four of them into the bottom of the ship at Helena's request.

This opened up a door inside the ship. I pulled out the TAC and hoped this would work. I hoped I was close enough, but not too close to lose my own life. The TAC took a few seconds to lock on. I figured any second now I was going to be toasted.

The lock on message appeared and I fired as many times as possible into the opening inside the war ship.



The war ship exploded with all the TAC ammo buried inside the craft. When the ship was destroyed, all the remaining machines still flying in the air above vacated the area.



I saw the VTOL fly to the edge of the carrier. I noticed the war ship was going to crash on top of the carrier. Unless I vacated the area, I was going down with the ship too. This wasn't my ship and I wasn't planning to end it all here, so I began sprinting to the edge of the carrier.

I've got to get to that VTOL. I've got to get off this ship.

I will be back in touch soon!
