Synopsis: It seems your shuttle has broke down and the only way out is through a Skaarj infested outpost.

I remember this one...from it's SP-Exploring name. It had good and (mostly) bad points. I seem to remember a weirdly placed water area that had current seeming to come from nowhere.

The water pool right at the beginning is a trap, no way you can climb out of it (there are angry Biterfish).

A short and pretty simple level (although the "ending" can be very vague to find) with quite basic visuals and presentation. However, there are some hints of sophistication despite it being a beginner level, like the exploration and choice between storming in the front door or sneaking in through the waterway. An okay (late-released) debut level.

There is a secret room in this map:
[spoiler]IIRC that skaarj with DP is set to move towards the locked door and open it.[/spoiler]

I wondered how that room opened; it did the first time I played the map to learn it for the playthrough and then I couldn't get it open again. I think I do recall the Trooper went near it the time that it was unlocked.
