The overall objective of the unit is to use the A-M bomb in order to render the Gravity Well inop, then return to the Research Hangar and exit the planet. And, of course, destroy all the opposition.

* EpicFail: An unlucky marine got trapped inside of his drop pod after a drop failure and is asking for help. Dude managed to make it straight to the end of the game from the starting drop, but got stuck because his pod embedded inside a wall and couldn't open. Though he likely wouldn't have been able to do much without the A-M Bomb anyway (nor the massive arsenal of accumulated weapons needed to have a chance against the Black Widow Guardian).

* CreatorCameo: Much like the "Willits" EasterEgg in [[Recap/QuakeIIJailUnit "Security Complex"]] and the "ZOR" egg in [[Recap/QuakeIIGroundZeroHangarsUnit "Research Hangar"]], there's a pod with a trapped marine called "Wominal", after Won Choi, one of the devs of the pack.

This is it! After [[Recap/QuakeIIGroundZeroWarehouseUnit arming the A-M Bomb]], Stepchild must now bring it where it belongs: the Gravity Well. But the area is well guarded, and not exactly by a bunch of foes, but a very dangerous one.

!! This level shows examples of:
* CanonDiscontinuity: The final cutscene implies that [[ApocalypseHow all (or at least part) of Stroggos is totally devastated]] by the A-M Bomb, and there are [[EverybodysDeadDave no human survivors left]] on the planet to evacuate. Needless to say, [[VideoGame/QuakeIV this isn't the case]].
--> ''[[AWinnerIsYou "YOU HAVE DEFEATED THE STROGG THREAT!"]]''
* EpicFail: An unlucky marine got trapped inside of his drop pod after a drop failure and is asking for help.
* ExplosiveDecompression: [[SchmuckBait Go ahead, try to see what's at the end of those pitch black tunnels where you go to/came from...]].
* KaizoTrap: After defeating the Black Widow you have one last mission: plant the A-M Bomb so you can detonate the Gravity Well and most of Stroggos. Just beware of falling to the Well's electronics or the engines.
* SuspiciousVideoGameGenerosity: Before your fight with the Black Widow Guardian, you'll see a Body Armor, a Megahealth, and plenty of powerups near the hole you need to go down through in order to fight her.
