I navigated the underground maintenance area to fix the NSC coolant pumps, fending off waves of Hiss soldiers along the way. After repairing two pumps, I encountered a toxic blockage in the third. I carefully cleared the swarms from a distance to avoid the poison, completing the cooling objective.
After cleansing the area, I ran towards the door indicating the NSC coolant pumps. I found myself on a steep path leading down into a dark, industrial underground area.
There were some Hiss soldiers on my way that I started taking down immediately. I mostly used my launch ability to hurl rocks and debris at them before they could react.
While I was fighting another Hiss soldier with melee attacks, I used the photo mode to take a shot of his face. It was actually quite creepy to see the corruption up close.
I reached the pumps area at last and noticed many Hiss soldiers floating in the air. I kept a close eye on them, knowing they might descend at any moment to attack.
I had to fix the pump there and noticed a power core nearby. I used my launch ability to slot the core into the socket, successfully powering up the first cooling unit.
After I fixed that pump, more soldiers arrived to stop me from progressing. I had to use all my power, combining my service weapon and Launch, to take them all down.
After fixing the second pump, floating demons appeared to ambush me. I threw heavy obstacles at them, causing them to explode mid-air while keeping a safe distance from the blasts.
I went for the third and last pump, but it was not fixable right away. Ahti mentioned his old enemy was blocking the pipes, referring to the strange, shifting Clog growth.
I went ahead to fix the pipe and realized I had to maintain my distance. I died on my first try because the growth was emitting a lethal poison that drained my health.
The entire pipe system was blocked by the swarms of the Clog. I entered the pipes carefully and cleared the masses with my service gun while staying in the safe zones.
After clearing the last swarms, I walked closer as the corruption vanished in front of me. I fixed the last pump, marking half of the directorial override job as complete.
