After [[Recap/QuakeIITheReckoningSpaceportUnit successfully disabling the Strogg production facility and boarding the Strogg Freighter]], Joker successfully infiltrates into the Strogg Moon Base, where the final steps of the TCM plan will take place. Someone familiar will be awaiting at the tail end, though.

* KaizoTrap: You went out of your way to destroy the second Makron, the Strogg counterfleet and the Moon Base. And you finally spotted the ship to get out of Stroggos. Are you safe? Not at all. For one, after you return from "The Reactor", there will be a lot of falling debris which might get you killed, not to mention the Beta Gladiator that you'll find at some point. And for another, [[TakeYourTime you can roam through the ship area]], but there's a line you shouldn't pass, unless you want to [[ExplosiveDecompression get sucked out into outer space]].

* MadeOfExplodium: Apparently whatever they were using for a fuel source on the moon base is like this, as when set it to blow up it apparently destroys the entire moon, or at least a large part of it. It's possible the moon is ''way'' smaller than Earth's moon, though it doesn't look that way in the mission briefing.
