Briefing and first part of the mission.

Now that Snipes is proven to be alive and is back in SOC, he's here to inform us that we're handpicked to fly suicide into the area past the Knossos portal we discovered in "Straight, No Chaser".

As Snipes mentions, we are flying modified shivan craft, in this case, the SF Mara. This is so amazing because:
- it has an incredible energy capacity, one of the few craft that can consistently fire the Kayser and not suffer from instant weapon energy loss
- it has amazing handling, almost as good as the SF Dragon, but at least much better than say the Thoth or Serapis.
- it has more durability than the Shivan original(iirc), but we don't see that here.

Also, 2:53 - Snipes: "That was a little too close. We gotta wait fifteen minutes to change our shorts." One of the best moments of the game by far.

I didn't mention in the video explicitly, but the SC devices will self-destruct after destroying the Crystal subsystem.
