Defend The Carrier

I must have passed out.

All I remember is waking up to Admiral Morrison screaming at me to get up and deal with those machines that have invaded his ship. From the sound of things, it wasn't going to be an easy task.



The noises that I heard from the bridge of the ship must have been ten times the noise level I had heard both in the mine and when I've been in conflict with the machines. So I am guessing there are hundreds of those machines flying around.

On my way to the flight deck, I picked up a Gauss Rifle and a Heavy Machine gun. I made sure my Nanosuit was in Armor mode and exited onto the flight deck.



There were machines flying all around. At first, the smaller ships had to taken down. Shortly there after, the larger ships arrived - the ones like Psycho brought back earlier this evening. So far, the spider-machine had not arrived. Nor has there been anything different.

When the machines exploded, they made an incredible explosion. Not sure if it was due to the reflection of the water or the design of the ship, but the explosions were amazing. I took a picture to demonstrate the awe of the explosions.



With the area now clear, I could see just how huge the sphere had become. I wondered if Prophet made it clear of the area when the nuclear bomb was dropped. I hoped he wasn't in the center of the explosion, because we already almost lost him once. I still never heard what happened to him and how he managed to escape.

No time to worry about Prophet's situation now, because it was his decision to hijack a VTOL and head into the sphere. We need to focus on our tasks at hand.



I received orders to head down below deck to locate the chief engineer. Evidently, things are getting out of control downstairs. The quickest way is to take one of the elevators used to transport the fighter jets down below.



I made it downstairs and the water had already started to fill the ship. Unless we act quickly, the ship would be sinking soon. The chief engineer would be the one who could tell us how to keep this beast floating.

So far, I haven't found any machines down here, but I am on total alert at this point.

I am going to hurry and see if I can locate the chief engineer as soon as possible.

I will back in touch soon!

Shut Down The Reactor

I navigated through the watery hallways of the hull of the ship. I met up with the chief engineer at the top of some medal stairs. Still no machines were found down below.



The chief engineer informed me that there was a breach in the reactor core, which could cause a meltdown if not resolved quickly. The path to the reactor room was collapsed by the destruction of the attack. Since I was the only one wearing a Nanosuit, I would have to be the one to head toward the core. I had to get there as soon as possible.

I used the strength mode of the Nanosuit to break through doors and push aside large containers. When I thought I had met a dead end, I found a vent shaft I could use to reach the reactor room.



I was able to reach the reactor core after jumping down from the vent shaft. A few minutes later I had arrived to the reactor core. After disabling the reactor, the machine when into shut-down state. I then saw the machines enter into the core. They were feeding off the massive amounts of energy coming off the core.



Three of the circuit breakers were locked open - most likely due to the machines in the area. Helena radioed to me. She had an idea. She transmitted a pulse from my Nanosuit which sent shock waves all around me. The end result is that the machines were dazed by the energy emitted from my suit. The machines flew around in all directions before eventually crashing hard and becoming lifeless.

Now, the core area was empty, but the three circuit breakers remained open. I had to get in there quickly to push them down. I would need the strength function of the Nanosuit to complete the task.



I ran into the room and pushed the first circuit breaker back into place. I felt incredibly weak. I took a glance at my health. By the indicators on my suit, if I remained in the area a few seconds more, I would be dead. So I escaped the area and went back into the control room while the Nanosuit healed me. Once healed, I returned to the room and fixed the second circuit breaker.

I wondered if there would be enough time to recharge my health and return for the third breaker. I looked at my vitals. I had no choice. If I stayed in the room any longer, I would be dead. If I left to recharge, the core might meltdown, but maybe I have enough time to recharge. I ran as quickly as I could back into the control room. Just as my health hit 96%, I ran into the room and pushed the third circuit breaker back in place.

The core was disabled.

I heard that the machines were now in the lower part of the ship. So I made my way back to offer my assistance. When I reached the hanger under the flight deck, I was faced with several of the smaller machines. I had 20 rounds of ammo for the Gauss rifle and I believe I put every one of them into one of those smaller machines. I took a picture of one of the rooms just after the last machine was taken down.



I heard a familiar noise from above me. It wasn't a good sound. It was a sound that placed fear into me just before I left the island.

I better get up there and see what I can do. I am quite positive things are about to really get out of hand.

I will back in touch soon.
