Objective |
Retrieve (3 reactor control units) and Repair
(insert into reactor core) |
You arrive in Troy Colony's power plant...
First, take out all the monsters in your neighbourhood, then read
the comm terminal just before the large radiation door, which can be
opened by walking up to it.

Go south until you reach a door that
takes you to a three-level elevator. Ride it one floor down to a room
with a lava pit in the center and with a narrow stairway on one wall
(you'll find the first reactor controller here). Up the stairs and to
the left leads to the main control room with a comm term containing
further instructions, as well as switch 1 and switch 2.
Flip the first switch to raise the bridge into the main reactor
chamber, and the second to open door B. Now, return to the
upper level and head for the now opened door B, which leads to a room
containing a 2x recharger and pattern buffer.
Go back to the elevator and ride it to the lowest floor. By now,
bridge A will have lifted; if you cross into the main reactor
chamber you'll find the other 2 reactor controllers and another
terminal with clues on where to go next. Return to the outer ring,
jump off the platform and enter the small service conduit. Follow it
all the way to the end, then jump to the left at the lava pit. The
small lift at the bottom will take you to a room with some carefully
placed MiniHunters and some very small stairways, so watch your
step...
Once you have opened the small door from the switch in the central
pillar, jump down into the wider corridor. After getting rid of the
aliens there, use the pattern buffer at the eastern end. Now head
west to a room with plenty of lava. Carefully walk off the ledge onto
the large platform, taking care not to end up in the lava. You'll
need to get to switch 3a and switch 3b; each opens one
half of door C. You'll need to keep door C open permanently to
get inside, so flip each switch a second time once their respective
door has opened; this will prevent them closing again. Now you can
enter the room, which holds switch 4 and a recharger. This
switch will lift ledge D, which in turn will grant you access
to switch 5 around back. Trigger that with a grenade, and a
ventilation duct (door E) to the north will now open.
Climb into the ventilation duct and follow it all the way to the
main control room and switch 6, but watch out for exploding Boomers.
Flip switch 6 to open the access hatch in the reactor core
(door F), then follow the remainder of the ventilation duct
(leading from just below the south wall to just outside the control
room) until you're back at the three-level elevator. Ride it to the
lowest floor again, and cross bridge A to the main reactor. Place the
three reactor controllers, which you picked up along the way, in
their appropriate places. This will allow you to leave by the nearby
comm terminal, taking you to the next level, Citizen Cain...
