Description:
Original goal was just an exit, but the more attempts I put in the more I wanted to just run Daerik's route and see how close I could get. I set a new goal of sub-7, but this exit took me a *lot* of attempts, and I think I'm done grinding this for now. I'm almost certain I'll return to this some day and try and take my time lower though, this is a very fun map.

Notes:
BSK fight went fine. The key here is that one of the cybers *must* infight the revs on the starting platform (clearing them up yourself is a massive time loss and it also makes the secret fight a lot more obnoxious). I typically try and leave one alive to clean them up as I go to the secret fight. He'll either die to the revs, or (more likely) wander over and stand on the TP destination that brings you back from the secret fight. Probably 3/4 of the time you telefrag him, but sometimes he'll just kill you when you TP back.

Secret fight went poorly. Forgot to hit the middle switch when clearing the 2nd phase, so the AV horde was a little scarier than it should have been.

I suck really hard at the RSK fight (lost countless attempts here), and this time it went even worse than usual. The first vile dodged the BFG shot, and then almost all of the floor viles managing to avoid getting hit by any rockets. I'm quite happy with how I managed to recover here, although a fair dose of luck was involved as well.

HK fight also went really badly, with (I think?) a cyb rocket waking up most of the left closet. Fair bit of panic here but somehow I survived. Lost a lot of time to the last cyber in the central tower deciding to have a wander around and avoid all the BFG balls.

Rest of the map pretty much went to plan, outside of how slow the final cyb in the last arena was to kill.
