In this episode of GAO R2 (Run 2), we discuss how to accomplish our primary mission: find a genesis candidate planet, prepare for the landing, and initiate genesis.

FINDING GENESIS: As you explore the alpha one sector, your planetary scans will sometimes come across genesis candidate planets with various types of biosphere that can sustain different types of local life, such as O2, KOH, and so on. There are generally at least two of each type in alpha one. It is up to you to find them.

There are also multiple levels of genesis, if you got a really tough challenge. Basically, if the planet requires level II genesis, it can only be settled by colonists who are "level II" (or higher) that breathe the right air. You start as Human I (level 1 humans).

PREPARING FOR GENESIS: You obtain higher-level DNAs by killing enemies and aliens, then harvest their DNA with your bio-matter vacuum device (if any are dropped, along with alien abilities and weapon fragments). Obviously, you need to kill tough enemies to get higher-grade DNA and weapons. That means going to the red or critical danger areas, and inhabited by the right specie. Obviously you won't find human DNA if you're in Holo or Liquid's area, for example.

When you get 10 DNA of that type, go to cloning lab (of the right level), spend a few units of rad blue, process that through the workstation(s), and you got that type researched, as their genes can be spliced with ours, creating hybrids that are adapted to local environments with their traits. Some species are physically tough, making them ideal for away teams (Liquid or Rok), while others are physically weaker but better intelligence (Arachnoid, etc.) The choices are yours.

NOTE: Alien abilities need 10 pieces to be researched at alien research (containment).

NOTE: It *is* possible to capture enemies if use the collector on it. However, it's NOT guaranteed, and it can take a while to happen. If captured, enemy shows up in alien research in one of the containment cells, and you can then "test" them (which may produce extra data, but uses up your supply of rad blue).

NOTE: Weapons need 10 pieces to be researched at a workshop of the appropriate level. (Workshop II can at best, research level II weapons). Each needs rad blue to complete. You get it by researching the old one (EX: to get Barrier II, you research Barrier I. You only get the research button unlocked when you get 10 pieces of Barrier II)

Once you have enough crew to satisfy the planet's requirements (proper genesis level, proper amount of biosphere, and the proper number of crew that met or exceed requirements) it is time to initiate genesis.

INITIATE GENESIS: Jump to the sector containing the genesis candidate planet and verify you meet all the requirements. Starting genesis means you go into the "endgame". If you are certain, initiate genesis from the hangar by choosing that as your landing mission.

FULFILLING GENESIS: To complete the mission, you need to kill the alien queen in the subterranean cavern. Look for a way into the underground, and keep advancing. You may find bodies and some reloads. continue, and you should see small critters approaching you. Kill them and keep advancing in the direction they came from. If your path is blocked, drop turret to cover you while you use your gathering tool to break through as if you're mining it.

Continue exploring until you find a long down sloped tunnel that opens into a giant cavern. Do NOT exit the tunnel yet. Drop 1-3 barriers to block the entrance. Drop a turret here to deal with the smaller critters. Arm your heaviest weapon, and exit the tunnel into the cavern. You should see the queen, with a couple "golden sacks" on its back, in the distance to your front left. Shoot at it a couple times if you want, then retreat behind the barriers. The queen will rush you. Concentrate on shooting the sacks. Usually, the barrier will stop the queen, but even if it didn't, your weapons should destroy all the sacks before the queen can do you serious harm. When all those sacks are popped, the queen dies.

Now just find your way back to the surface, and approach your landing site. The entire group is now lined up and salutes you. Walk up to the terminal, activate it, and click on the button to initiate genesis.

You have saved humanity for a couple centuries, at least.

So, what comes after that? You can play "Continue+", which we will cover in the next episode.
