			Pre-Battle Description
			The floor here is cracked and bent by the strange energies that have been released on this vessel. Your weight causes the already weakened metal plates to give way, depositing you in a maze of twisty little passages criss-crossed by large pipes. The skittering sound of tiny feet and the groans of the mutants are your only welcome to this area.
			Post-Battle Description
			Deep in the network of pipes you find a strange device. Twisting the alien knobs and dials at random, you find a combination that opens a metal gateway above you through which you can resume your journey to the coolant system as Darius has directed you.
Hints
You can win this battle by occupying the nearest victory square and contesting the middle one. The Gunners will often catch the spiders in their crossfire if they get in the way. Step attacks are useful for moving through the difficult pipe squares.

Security Cameras	3
			Pre-Battle Description
			You arrive at the area that Darius calls "Fluidics Control." Two mechanical turrets and three more of the prying cameras are here and must be dealt with before the control system can be operated.
			Post-Battle Description
			You defeat the automated security system and, following Darius' instructions, you flush the cooling system. Apparently this is necessary before you can power up the ship's engines, which is your next task, as directed by your disembodied master.
Hints
Destroying or moving the camera on the victory square will buy you time. Winds of War or Gusts of War can move a turret or camera to where they are ineffective. Mousing over the turrets and cameras will show you which squares are safe to stand on. Turrets can only fire when already facing you. Impenetrable Nimbus is great for soaking up the turrets' attacks.

		Pre-Battle Description
		At last, you have reached the reactor core. Here the central control panel is guarded by a single turret. But – what is that skittering and chattering in the vents above? Not more of those hideous spiders!
		Post-Battle Description
		The reactor core thrums into life. The lights brighten and the whole ship seems to throb with unearthly power. Scavenging more of the strange devices that have been left in this area, you head deeper into the vessel in search of the Host and greater treasures!
Hints
Stay out of sight of the hacked turret and let it destroy as many spiders as possible. Area of effect attacks will help with the spiders, if you have them.
