1: Mercury Rising
You'll be taking your orders from Ms. Wyndt-Essex, so get use to it.
Your responsibilities include protecting the cargo ships
And you need to keep Wyndt-Essex and Hardin alive, as well.
Although the lava beds look dangerous, they're not.
However, when the weather man calls for meteor showers, look out!
You'll also have to contend with drone patrol ships that are no longer recognizing your forces as friendly.
You'll have to fight off your first rogue drone as your convey moves out from the drop ship.
After you arrive at the first rendezvous point, stay clear of your base's gun towers until you complete your next task of taking down the power supplies.
When Wyndt-Essex tells you to follow her on your way to take out the power supplies, be prepared to intercept an incoming drone, which will otherwise try to cut her mission (and yours) short.
After she tells you to go take out the gun tower guarding the power supplies, you may run into a mysterious ship.
You actually can do as much or as little as you prefer in taking out the gun tower, since the meteors will do your job for you. Your ship is equipped with long range shadowers.
After the gun tower is down, you can motor in and take down the power supplies.
Hurry to catch up with Wyndt-Essex when you're finished with the gun tower, because there are two drone ships that will be harassing her on the way to where the cargo ships are waiting. You'll need to make sure that you keep her, Harding, and the two cargo ships in the green with the two service trucks that you'll be given command of, along with a couple of scouts. Have the scouts help you fight off the waves of drones that will attack. You need to hold them off until the cargo ships make their way into the base.
And until you are given the order to follow them into the base yourself, to board the Storm Petrel. The base gun towers are working for you now.
The Storm Petrel takes off from her underground silo, headed for an uncertain future.
