Alien Breed 3: Descent
Alien Breed 3: Descent is the sequel of "" and is the third and final installment of the episodic remake of the "Alien Breed" series. Plot. Conrad continues his trek through the Leopold and soon fights against the Klein AI that inhabits MIA's body. After beating Klein, MIA is disembodied but regains her consciousness. She then tells Conrad that the only way he can destroy Klein's maniacal AI is by using her brain core as an EMP device to fry him. After several hours of the derelict ship falling towards the frozen planet below, it  eventually crashes and water begins to flood the ship. Conrad then encounters an alien queen which was created by Klein who is overjoyed with his own creation. Klein states that it took him about a hundred years to create a controllable Queen and also tells Conrad that he copied himself to the Leopold's AI system to achieve immortality. Klein plans to leave with the Leopold leaving Conrad behind but Conrad pushes back and fights the alien queen several times. After a second battle against the alien queen, Conrad moves ever closer towards Klein's mainframe lair where he eventually  battles both Klein and the alien queen. In the climax of the battle, the alien queen falls over a ledge onto the Klein AI mainframe and subsequently destroys the critical tech that allows Klein to operate. Accessing an opening to a small control room, Conrad uses the EMP that MIA gave him to finish Klein for good. In the aftermath we see Conrad finally attending to his shoulder wound but ultimately dies due to his injuries sustained from the previous blast. A small pad then drops to the ground and displays an image of Klein's eye logo. Klein can  be heard talking but it's not quite clear what he is saying. Gameplay.
