14: Betrayed

Flushed with your previous success, this mission starts out in what seems to be a routine and easy manner, but things are never as they seem to be. Go ahead and start gathering scrap and building out some turrets, even though you won't be given any orders to do this. Since the Excluder jammer will prevent scavengers from deploying on pools, you might want to set up a well yourself, leaving another scavenger to collect loose scrap.

Set the drop off point for your recycler away from the recycler, itself. Trust me on this one.

There's no need to set up an elaborate defense, just que up some turrets to build before you head out on your patrol. Though you will first be directed to Nav Beta and then to investigate a tunnel entrance, these orders will be quickly superceded by an unexpected turn of events. Upon your return to base, you'll find that there's not much you can do, except keep your own ship intact.

You'll need your tank to carry out your next set of orders, which is to take down the planet's automated defense system with the help of a computer virus.

The Hadean rebels show up to reinforce your efforts on Facility, providing you with the ships necessary to break through to the Imperialist Hadean base. You'll be responsible for ships attacking in one direction, while Rebel walkers attack from another.

The first two gun towers are within range of your mortar, but the Hadeans may quickly counter-attack.

The turrets that you built out earlier with your recycler can come in handy, now.

You will continue to find these turrets helpful, since they can provide cover for your Atlases, as you advance on the Hadean gun towers.

Meanwhile the Rebel walkers march on the Imperialist base from their drop off point.

Hopefully, your group and the walkers will converge on the Hadean base at about the same time.

You'll have a choice of continuing to work directly with the Hadeans or returning to your EDF comrades for the subsequent missions. Unfortunately, a scripting bug will land you in the Rebel Hadean camp, regardless of your choice, at least for now.
