Transfer Bay

Read the Intro: EnPro Plant as the level loads.

Walkway To EnPro

In comes a communication from Sergeant Kelly: "Marine. Bravo Team is down. Their operational status is unknown. They were carrying a military transmission card. It's vital you retreive that card as it contains encoded data needed to send the distress signal to the fleet. You are the last hope to get reinforcements. Find that card and find it fast."
Find 1 Small Shells (1) on a crate and a Combat Armour (1) behind the crate.

You can get a glimpse out to the martian landscape.
Go through the door to Entrance.

Walk down the stairs, they break behind you. You can still get back up the stairs if you duck up the left railing and move out to the right.
Duck under the stairs and walk around to awake your sentry bot.
The bot wants to lead you on a predetermined path but will always come back for you whenever you diverge from the path.

As you near the red light and look around the corner you will see a huge pipe fall in the next room and glass showered down over your buddy as 2 Imps (3-4) teleport in on either side of you - tag team them.

Fire extinguished". Read the display: "Rerouting successful. Heat transfer leak isolated and contained. Overload detected in coolant rod sector. Additional pressure leaks expected".
