Mission walkthrough

Your duties during the course of the mission:

Once you've successfully investigated the glyph, you will have to reach three different holding pens in order to rescue innocent civilians. Allied soldiers will provide a small help during these fights. Your final objective will be to get to an enemy base in order to acquire full control over a Detection Drone unit.

Detailed mission walkthrough:

First objective: Investigate the glyph to the west

Completing this mission isn't going to be difficult, however you will have to remember about a few important things. First of all, you don't have to be in a lot of hurry. You also don't have to engage all enemy groups, however I wouldn't recommend allowing them to surprise you. Each time you lose some of your units, an allied plane will appear on the map and it will reward you with reinforcements. Just as before, take a closer look at your squad. As you've probably noticed, Hacker units have joined Mirabel. They won't be of much use on the battlefield, because trying to take control over enemy units is just a waste of time. You'll need one of the hackers to fulfill the final objective, so try to keep them safe. As for Variant units, they should assist Mirabel in destroying enemy units. Tanks can camouflage themselves, however you won't be using this feature too often during the course of the mission.

Start off by moving west, because that's where you'll find your first target. Be careful, though. Enemy Defiler units will poison some of the civilians and turn them into zombies (Slaves). Prevent zombies from getting too close to your units. Obviously you should allow Mirabel (Viktor) to engage enemy forces, because she can heal herself. Once you've reached the glyph, a new cut-scene is going to be displayed on your screen. As you've noticed, a small group of marines will start following your lead. Don't worry about them. Even if you lose them, you won't receive any penalties. You will have to act quickly, because Defiler units have appeared in this area. Their attacks are quite powerful and they can poison your units, so make sure they've been taken care of quickly. It would be a good idea to use one of the missile attacks of Mirabel against them. Make sure that Hacker units stay somewhere in the back, so they don't lose any health points. You could also try using Purge Systems ability, however it shouldn't be necessary.
