Sneak into the Trident Lab

*Sneak into the Trident Lab* is the ninth campaign mission of Spriggan: Lunar Verse. The weapon of mass destruction excavated at the Antarctic ruins from Trident special forces was transferred to Trident's laboratory. Tatsuki must infiltrate the lab and destroy the weapon.

## Briefing

Through analyzing the information from the satellite, Graham is able to identify the location of the weapon that is stolen from the Antarctic ruins at the Trident's laboratory, as he expected. He informs Tatsuki of his upcoming mission, which is to infiltrate the lab and recover the stolen weapon. If the objective is not possible due to circumstances, the weapon must be destroyed. Before deployment, Graham urged Tatsuki that he cannot afford to make the same mistakes as before.

## Mission Overview

Tatsuki is in the elevator waiting to arrive in the desired floor. Graham contacts him that the super-ancient weapon should be located somewhere within the building he is at. He urges him to find it as soon as possible. Tatsuki exits the elevator upon arrival, and immediately encounters a unicycle robot attacking him. It seems that those type of robots are affiliated with Trident Corporation, attacking any intruders attempting to infiltrate the laboratory. They usually guard at the halls.

Once Tatsuki arrives at the hall, there are two horizontal pathways that he can take:

* If he takes the right path, he comes across a room with several laboratory guards at patrol. The guards immediately identify Tatsuki's presence, and one of them activates the security terminal, causing the entire laboratory to be on alert. In addition, some of the doors will be locked. If Tatsuki desires to bypass them, he must interact with the security control device to disable the alarm, and pick up the red keycard by one of the guards to go through the doors requiring it.

* If he takes the left path, he finds himself in an area that appears to be a security room. The room contains two security computers that Tatsuki can interact with to disable the locked doors and doors requiring a keycard to bypass them. Therefore, he can use this as an advantage to explore the lab without being hindered from being blocked access by the locked doors.

Regardless of the paths he chooses, Tatsuki heads to another elevator to go to the underground containing the super weapon. Along the way, he defeats the guards and guarding robots attempting to hinder his progress.

Upon arrival to the underground, Tatsuki dashes to the room where the weapon is located, defeating additional laboratory guards standing in his way. He eventually arrives at the area, and discovers that the weapon is already operational and cannot be safely retrieved. He recalls from the briefing that if the weapon cannot be recovered by any means, it must be destroyed. With no other options, Tatsuki decides to duel against the super weapon. His opponent contains a powerful firepower from a distance and performs melee attacks if Tatsuki were to be within its close proximity. He must find a gap to successfully attack the ancient weapon until it is no longer operational. Eventually, the weapon receives too much damage and begins to initiate a self-destruct sequence. Tatsuki reacts to this by sprinting at full speed away from the explosion. The weapon exploded, and Tatsuki escapes the lab mostly unscathed.

## Debriefing

Graham is pleased to discover that the operation went well and Tatsuki made it back in one piece, but still expresses his concern with the way how Trident is working this time around. He compares their work with the operation involving the U.S. military, and feels that something is up. Afterwards, he asks Tatsuki on how the A.M. suits are working out for him. Graham states the results from the ARCAM lab, which is generally fine. He then encourages Tatsuki to continue in experimenting with the suits.
