The arachnid offensive continues. Eggfalls have been reported across the breadth of Terran space. The Terran Fleet is hard pressed responding to so many emergencies. Likewise, MI resources are becoming stretched as the frontline expands. Now the Arachnids have invaded Mars. Our oldest Terran settlement is crawling with bugs. Terran industry on Mars has been brought to a complete stand still. The oilfields are burning and our factories lie in ruins. This is too close to home, we must drive these bugs back! Good evening, Lieutenant, the Audie Murphy is holding orbital formation above Mars. Arachnid eggfalls have been pummeling the Martian surface for the last three weeks. The bugs have smashed every major Terran habitat, and now have invaded the oilfields. MI have committed five entire divisions to wipe the arachnids from the surface of our sister planet. In memory of the Martian pioneers, we cannot let one inch of red soil fall to the arachnids. Your mission objectives are as follows: Your strike team will deploy in the North Cydonian oilfields. Your mission sector contains five oil rigs, all of which are currently burning. The arachnids are clearly trying to sabotage the Martian industry. Your strike team must include at least one combat engineer. The engineer will be responsible for bringing the oil fires under control. As you sweep through the mission sector, destroy any arachnids or arachnid tunnels that you encounter. Be advised that ground forces have reported contact with a new arachnid variant. We're calling it the Rhino, because of the way it charges anything that moves. Be extremely cautious approaching these creatures. One final thing, be advised that Command HQ has prohibited the use of nuclear ordinance on the Martian surface. Ground forces are ordered to minimize structural damage to any equipment owned by the North Cydonian Energy corporation. Proceed now to assemble your strike team. Summary of Objectives 1. Use an Engineer to extinguish all oil fires in the Mission Sector. 2. Rescue any civilians. 3. Nukes are prohibited.
