– Authors Map Description –

Orbiting in silence above a forgotten world, the station was once lifeless metal and machinery. Now it pulses. Something else lives here. Something that breeds in vents, writhes behind walls, and oozes through the cracks in the hull.

No alarms were triggered. No distress signals got through. By the time Command noticed the signal anomaly, it was already too late—the infestation had rooted itself deep, like a parasite wrapping around a nervous system.

You’re being dropped into a station crawling with hostile biomass. The invaders come from every direction—vents, docking bays, maintenance shafts, even the external hull. This isn’t a breach—it’s a claiming.

Your mission is simple. Hold the line. Cleanse every corridor. Purge every hatch. And if that fails?

You fail… you become part of the biomass.

It’s going to get ugly! Prepare for a raid on the power cores at Outpost 291-Echo. Intelligence reports indicate a skeleton crew on-site, but be advised: enemy reinforcements could mobilize quickly. Maintain communication discipline and execute your roles with the utmost efficiency. A co-ordinated station wide response is needed to protect the individual core housings. Remember, we are the hammer, and they are the nail. Expect heavy resistance once alarms are triggered. Gear up, stay sharp, and let’s remind them why we’re here.
__________________

– a fun little map that will keep you on your toes, it is similar to my
last map ….. two core housings and two unconnected paths … but with
the ability to build combined defenses …..

– it is challenging and requires a thoughtful and systematic response …..
but there are tiles that you can build on that will cover both paths

– the < super G challenge > is a definite challenge but do-able

Commander: Intelligence reports a hostile transgression targeting the orbiting asteroid M-290. Creating a brewing brouhaha, threatening to break within the next 72 hours. While mining operations continue at a reduced capacity, all personnel are to immediately transition to defensive postures. We’ve already begun deploying countermeasures, but the possibility of a full two-pronged assault remains. Prioritize secure lockdown procedures and await the oncoming storm. Your vigilance and swift action are critical to our survival.

– this map is challenging and will require some thought …. it is
essentially two maps …. but with strategic path and tower choices
it can almost be treated as one … the aliens will not steal any cores
…… except maybe on the Survival mode

Intelligence reports indicate that hostile forces are mobilizing for an assault within the next 48 hours. All personnel are advised to remain stone cold sober and maintain heightened vigilance at their posts. Ensure that all security protocols are strictly followed, and conduct thorough checks of all access points. Failure to secure our power cores could result in catastrophic consequences for our outpost and surrounding areas. Stay alert, stay prepared, and report any suspicious activity immediately.

"All personnel, this the Commander. Incoming hostiles. A swarm of insectoid vessels is approaching, intent on seizing our power cores. Notwithstanding the enemy’s superior numbers, advanced shielding and armor, we will defend Mars-288 to the last core. Activate all defensive systems; prepare for immediate engagement. Our survival, and the future of this colony, rests on our combined strength. Hit them hard, exterminate them quickly, let none escape."

– this is a small, tight map with slow sliding platforms that you can you
activate or not – because older computers tend to pause or freeze when
the platforms reach the ends and start back i have made them optional
( but still very useful ) and available in the Command Shuttle

– i like to have a mode on a map that will fill the map completely with
all towers upgraded to red – if possible – they are fun! ….. but i
suggest that you try them first at an easier setting than elite if you
want instant success

"Hold my beer, gentlemen," the station commander barked, his eyes narrowing as the sensors detect an approaching alien fleet.
"This is not the time for idle chatter and a cold brew. Seal the power core access points, ready the defense systems, and prepare for a fight. Those xeno bastards think they can waltz in here and steal our power, but they’ve got another think coming. This is our home, and we’ll be damned if we let them take it without a fight. Lock and load, people – it’s about to get ugly."

Commander: Time is of the essence, as the harsh environment of Ganymede poses grave risks to our personnel and equipment. You and your team must navigate the treacherous, frostbitten oblivion of the moon’s surface, withstanding the unforgiving chill and the constant danger of equipment failure. Your primary objective is to reinforce the station’s defenses, establish a secure perimeter, and repel any attempts by the alien forces to sabotage or seize the power cores.

Failure is not an option, Commander. The survival of the Ganymede Research Station and the critical data and resources it provides are paramount to our ongoing operations in this sector. I trust in your experience to lead your team through this mission to a successful conclusion, avoiding hypothermia and snow blindness.

The colony is gone, reduced to wrack and ruin, its strategic value lost and its personnel potentially subjected to unknown fates.. The last transmission was nothing but static and screams. What remains is this shattered outpost, a broken husk of circuitry and steel, choked in smoke and drenched in the blood-red glow of emergency lights. The Aliens have regrouped and are preparing for a final strike to obtain the cores.

You are to salvage the situation, safeguard the cores, and establish a rudimentary defense grid to provide protection while the colony is rebuilt.

Confirmation of Crimson Alert status for the foundry on Phobos.

All personnel are to immediately proceed to pre-assigned battle stations. Intelligence intercepts reveal a planned multi-pronged assault, characterized by overwhelming and aggressive boarding tactics. Strict adherence to established emergency protocols is mandatory. Any deviation from these protocols will be dealt with swiftly and decisively. The survival of this station, and all aboard, depends on the efficient and coordinated execution of our defensive strategy – a coordinated defence designed to overwhelm the invaders in a chaotic, "smelter skelter" of plasma fire and explosions.
This is not a drill. Prepare for combat.

MEMORANDUM TO: All Alpha-25 Personnel
FROM: Terran High Command
DATE: 2525.06.04 13:30
SUBJECT: Incoming Hostile Contact – Immediate Action Required
Sensor readings confirm imminent attack by unidentified hostile vessels, designated for total annihilation as per initial contact report. Multiple high-energy signatures approaching indicate a coordinated assault. All personnel are to immediately proceed to their assigned combat stations. Defensive systems are to be engaged at maximum capacity. Repeat: This is a CODE RED situation. We are under attack. Survival depends on immediate, decisive action.

– a fun and challenging map
– there are few tiles to build on so choose your path and towers well …
however more tiles will be available to purchase in the Command shuttle
… these are not needed for the story and modes
– there will be moving platforms along the outside edges that can be useful

– i am trying a new mode – < Lean Mean and Green > … a "green tower only"
mode and WOW! … i was amazed at how this mode played and how different the
strategy required is ….. check it out! – it is surprisingly fun, challenging
and a quick fast game

– < the Whole Shebang > mode starts out with the extra tiles already bought
from the Shuttle ….. which allows you to see the complete map and plan your
tower placement more effectively, also helps with a plan for the other modes
