Chapter 2 - Conspiracy

Objective: Thanks to your last mission, you now know the whereabouts of Dr. Sweitzer. He is being held at a prison on the moon of Phobos. You will be dropped off outside an old maintenance tunnel, where you will then make your way to the main tower, create a diversion, and locate Sweitzer. A shuttle will be sent to carry him away.

New Enemies: G7-11 (thief)

You begin this level in a cavern with only one way to go. Head forward through the cavern with your headlights on, so you can see the dark areas better. When you finally arrive at a left or right choice, head right, and you'll approach a metal grate on the wall. Shoot the steel crates at the left of the door to find some energy power-ups. Shoot the grate to open it and head through the opening. Go to the opposite end of the room and travel through the hole in the ceiling. Expect to fight a few tubbs when you enter the next chamber. Once the threat has been taken care of, head through the only other opening within this room; release your GuideBot, and he'll open the way for you. You're now outside. Take it slow through the canyon and tackle the tubbs one at a time, so they don't gang up on you. You will see a tower at the bottom of a ravine with a large turret atop it. Start firing at the turret and slide left and right to avoid the incoming laser fire. When the turret is defeated, continue past it.

Defeating the turrets is an easy task if you simply slide left and right to avoid the incoming laser fire.
As you round the corner, you'll see another turret atop the tower. Nail it while you're far away and continue sliding left and right to avoid the lasers it fires. As you approach the tower you just defeated, you'll see another tower far in the distance. Get a bead on the turret and take that one out as well. Off to the left, behind a small mountain, is another turret that must be taken out. Finally, head to the right, where you see a huge complex and carefully take out the turret lurking behind it. When all turrets have been defeated, proceed to the supply hangar on the left side of this open area, don't miss the homing missile you can pick up on the platform. Move inside the supply hangar. Head to the end of the supply hangar, and you'll find a key labeled G-1. Pick up the key and drop down one of the holes in the floor to enter a large underground cavern. Be careful not to touch the green acid at the bottom of the cavern, or you will sustain damage.
