Tension

Tension is the fifteenth story mission of Infested Planet.
== Briefing ==
"We are on our own out here commander. Things may look pretty bleak, but I have a plan.
Remember the biochem pods that we stashed in the cave system? I think that I can use them to fight the infestation. The bad news is that the pod storage area is overrun. We need to move quickly and secure those crates" - Doctor Cassander

=== Emergency Beacon ===
"This is Dr. Cassander of the Expeditionary Scientific Corps. If you are receiving this message, evacuate this system immediately and inform military authorities.
Our forces have been overrun by native xenoforms - do not attempt rescue. Concentrated orbital bombardment across the entire surface suggested. The alien organism is highly adaptive and may try to leave the solar system. Stop it at any cost.
---TRANSMISSION REPEATS---" - Doctor Cassander
== Introduction ==
This mission tasks the player with capturing all the Alien Hives, while trying to manage the new Infested Marines alongside the Data Crates that will punish you for losing them to the enemy.
* Each Alien Hive will spawn a group of at least three Infested Rifle Marines to deal with your team.
* Each secured Data Crate grants 4 BP.
* Towing a Data Crate greatly reduces a Marine's moving speed.
