  • Able Seaman Manfred Mann

  • Able Seaman Walter Harriman
  • Seaman Connor Mac Manus

Myst: Okay, people, this mission is simple in principle. We break the surface garrison, clear out the central lift shaft, and descend into the heart of the colony in order to destroy the colony's Synomium Device. Doing that will cause a chain reaction throughout the facility that will ensure its complete destruction.

However, as we're facing Echo on his home turf, we can expect heavy resistance - they're not going to give up without a fight, and they're going to throw everything they've got at us. So, be on your guards, and shoot to kill!

All: Aye-aye!

Myst: All right, then! Let's DO this!
