OK, Prometheus awaits!
This was my kind of level... in that there wasn't a smurfing enemy in sight. There was just plenty of loot to be had for the having. My plain-sailing was short-lived when I arrived at a terminal which moved floor panels around. I was quite startlingly bad at this relatively simple manoeuvre. I fumbled around for about 15 mins before finally figuring out how the damn thing worked. Reaching the far end of the facility I released the lock and I was left with the simple task of retracing my steps. This being a video game though they decided that this was the point where the enemies come back from their nap/meeting/15 minute cigarette break. I killed lots of stuff and was then outside. Onward to Vulcan!
Honestly, I didn't enjoy the hopping from brick-to-brick on the lava flows. It wasn't difficult, I just thought it was very generic and platformy. Come on game, I'm a respected spectre... not a f***ing bandicoot.
Vulcan was short and not very sweet. A heavy wave of mechs and assault drones were picked off from afar. Plus the old "shoot the explosive container right next to them" tactic worked wonders. It always baffles me while they have things this unstable in all these facilities...
Worker 1: "Is Eddie not in today?"
Worker 2: "He had a half day"
Worker 1: "Huh, it wasn't on the log"
Worker 2: "Yeah, it wasn't on purpose. He tripped over an explosive container on his lunch and was blown into seventeen different pieces."
Worker 1: "Ah right, OK. Facilities Management should really move them out of the way."
Anyway, I activated the second override and there was only one place left to go... Atlas!
When I arrived here it was just a big room with an elevator at the back. Facilities Management are clearly slacking again as the elevator was out of order. Maybe they weren't slacking at all and were just playing a practical joke on the staff. The buttons next to the elevator moved it two floors but the buttons further back in the room moved it three floors. I can just imagine an FM guy hiding in a closet somewhere giggling at me as I try to get the lift to the right f***ing floor. Screw you. man.
After heading down, we came to a terminal which I immediately regretted accessing. It reminded me of the time when I took acid after watching the movie Tron. The whole place suddenly turned virtual... kind of like what Neo sees in the Matrix. Plus, I was alone! Kasumi, I need you! There were a few flashbacks in this weird world of Archer experimenting on his brother. His brother's maths skills were as impressive as they were creepy. A few more easy fights and I was riding another elevator down to finally take on this annoying, screeching VI!
From what I could gather, this pesky VI was attempting to upload porn to the Normandy which would apparently cause no end of problems. Hey man, I like Asari-on-Turian bondage as much as the next guy but there's a time and a place, you know? It was a pretty simple task of shooting these glowing globes of porn before they ascended to my beloved Normandy. Once the globes were destroyed, the VI core was exposed and my disruptor ammo was ripping through everything at the minute. VI destroyed and Overlord was complete! There was even time at the end to chat with Archer and tell him he's a terrible brother.
Tune in next time as Shepard recruits a krogan and has to conduct an awkward meeting with him following crew complaints about his body odour.
