I. The Game
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Thousands of years from now, humankind is driven by an insatiable thirst for
knowledge and a strong will to explore the farthest corners of the galaxy.
Earthling explorers armed with the ability to terraform entire planets and make
the habitable will prepare these frontiers for human colonization.
At one such remote frontier sits the Seti-Alpha 5 Terraforming Station (SAT5),
a facility preparing its assigned planet for human habitation.
Its has been some time since the last interstellar communications were received
from SAT5 and the top brass at Earth Command are concerned.
The CICEC (Commander in Chief, Earth Command) has decided to send the Starship
USS Logos to investigate.
YOU ARE PART OF THIS MISSION.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
II. Characters
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Lieutenant Aileen Harding (YOU):
A 21-year-old Lieutenant in the Earth Command, standing 5’6” with
shoulder length brown hair and green eyes, Lt. Harding has a lean, athletic
build and possesses great agility and strength. Orphaned at an early age,
Aileen was raised by her uncle, Captain Trevor James. After spending most of
her early childhood living on various military bases, Aileen enrolled in the
prestigious Earth Command Space Academy at 13. She easily out classed those
several years her senior with her combat proficiency and graduated with top
honors at the age of 16. Assigned to the Starship Kardis as her first post,
Ensign Aileen Harding served with distinction and rose quickly through the
ranks, becoming the youngest Lieutenant in Earth Command history at the age
of 19.
Tom Tobin (your fiancée)
Tom Tobin is an atmospheric engineer who has lived aboard terraforming
stations most of his adult life. On a recent furlough, Tom met a young woman
and the experience changed him forever. On shore leave for six months while
the Starship Kardis was overhauled for repairs, the young engineer met and fell
in love with Aileen Harding; a six- month whirlwind romance led to a marriage
proposal from Tom. They agreed that when Tom returned from the SAT5 Project in
three years they would be married. During the following two years of separation
Aileen and Tom were in constant communication and their close bond grew even
stronger.
Captain Trevor James
The Captain of the Starships Logos is a dependable and honorable career
military man. Known to be friendly and considerate, he nevertheless runs a
tight and disciplined ship. Captain James loves Aileen as a daughter and has
taken great care to raise her into a loving and compassionate human being.
Though strict with others under his command, he never has been able to
completely impose his will on Aileen.
Commander Iris Hayes
In charge of the bridge crew as well as the day-today affairs of the
Logos, Commander Hayes is a highly organized and diligent professional. She has
served Captain James and the crew of the Logos well during her tenure and is
renowned for always keeping the ship running in tip-top shape.
The Alien Syndrome
The Alien Syndrome is a menace whose very touch can mutate man and
machine alike into unspeakable alien horrors. Some one hundred years ago, a
scouting party of the alien syndrome encountered Earth Command forces. Only
through the brave efforts of two Earth Command Soldiers, Trooper Ricky and
Trooper Mary, were the Earth forces able to repel the attack of the Alien
Syndrome. These events are chronicled in the original Alien Syndrome.
Nobody could predict when the aliens would strike again, but when they
did Earth Command would be ready. They knew that at some disputed barricade on
the frontier of freedom, the time would come to join the battle. That time is
now. The Alien Syndrome has returned.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
VII. SCARAB
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The best little, floating store in the whole galaxy. Plus he can shoot and
heal you. The Sentient Combat and Recycling Assembly Bot is by far the best
shop/companion for any PSP game I have play to date. The SCARAB has the ability
to remove items you don’t want, and turn them into Resource Points (RP). Using
RP you can have the SCARAB build weapons, armor, ammo, health packs or recharge
packs. To remove an item, in the inventory screen press the Triangle button.
Word of Warning once you recycle an item you can’t get it back unless you find
it again. Every 2 to 3 minutes or when ever you enter a new map the SCARAB gets
new items. The SCARAB has only four upgrades, Attack power(increases the damage
done), Firing Rate(how fast it can fire), Auto-Repair(Heals you), and
Auto-Recharge(Recharges battery). At any given time the SCARAB can have two
upgrades on, meaning you have to decide if you want him to fight or heal or a
mixture of both.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
VIII. Combat
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
There are two types of combat, ranged and melee. Melee is the easiest of the
two. In melee all you have to do is run up to the enemy and hack away. In
ranged you use a red line that extends from the direction that your character
is facing to aim. This can get tricky in the heat of battle, but the more you
play the better and fast you get at it. As you kill aliens they will drop
armor, ranged and melee weapons, SCARAB upgrades, neural adapters, ammo, RP,
and health and recharge packs. Each looks different from the other. Armor looks
like a shield. Melee weapons look like a staff. SCARAB upgrades look like green
rectangles with silver on the bottom. Neural adapters look like “helmets”. All
ammo looks like a pyramid. RP looks like a small square. Health packs looks
like a triangle with a red cross in the middle. Recharge packs look like a
blue rectangle.
Melee Weapons:
Regardless of weapon there are two types of attack light attack and
hard attack.
Light attacks are the “X” button.
Hard attacks are the Circle button.
You can do combos by using a combination of “X”s and Circles.
Flame Weapons*:
Flamethrower is an easy to use weapon. Just hold down the attack button
and strafe away from the alien. Uses 1 flame ammo.
Firebolt shoots out a fireball that explodes causing splash damage.
Uses 2 flame ammo
Fragmentation Fireball** shoots out a fireball that explodes into
smaller fireballs. Uses 4 flame ammo.
Flame Geyser shoot out three small grenade like objects, which engulf
the alien doing massive damage, it’s ineffective at close range.
Uses 8 flame ammo.
Energy Weapons:
Laser Rifle is very weak, but because it has no ammo you could just hold the
fire button down, if you had a fast recharge.
Sonic Blast more powerful than the Laser Rifle and has the ability to knock
back and stun.
Reflect Laser just like the Laser rifle, but with an added bonus, it can
bounce off walls.
Dispersion Laser shoots out 4 beams in 4 directions.
Projectile Weapons:
Gauss Rifle is automatic it shoots about 3 rounds a second and does
light damage.

About leveling I have not put any points into dexterity with my Tank, but it’s
at 9. It looks like every 3 levels you get en extra point in a stat you
Specialty uses.
Because any character may use any save game, start a just from the very
beginning that way when you find something good, you can always save your game
and open your item game. Dropped items will still be there when you load a
saved game. Its helpful for when you have too many items, but can’t hold them
because of you low strength and weight max.
*Did you notice how all the flame weapons begin with “F”?
**The book says 3 smaller fireballs, but while playing I have counted up to 5.

X. Walkthrough(I will not write down conversations or out lines of cinematic,
the reason is so that you have to play through the to find out why.)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
This walk through will take you through every area on every map because this is

Rules:
1. Directions will be used from where you start the map, so north is straight
ahead of you and south is behind you, etc...
2. You can skip some of the steps because of them will take you off the trail
of the main mission.
3. This is a linear game there is only one exit, but the maps are big enough to
hide boxes and chests in. Find them all for items.
4. The best way to defeat minibosses if you ranged is to put on you shield and
just hold down the attack button and back up, if your melee put on you
shield and attack with strong attacks.
5. You can always restart a map if you die or reload a save.
6. The save points are those weird glowing crosses on the ground that when you
step on them they center starts to make circles. These are also the

XII. About the Author
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I play all types of games, but mostly RPGs. This will be my first Walkthrough
and any help will be appreciated. I beat the game with a level 64 Firebug and
will be playing through as a Tank for this walkthrough.

XIII. Help
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I need help with:
Weapon descriptions
Items and Names
Walkthrough strategies
Enemy strategies
Boss strategies
Have a rant you want to add: what aliens you hate the most and why, what weapon
is the best, why melee is better than ranged or vise versa. If I think it will
help other players I’ll add it.
