You are the Engineer of VEX, the station's rogue mind. VEX holds Admiral Keogh in a stasis pod at the top of its tower, and the Fleet keeps sending boarders to take him back. Line every deck with traps. Let none of them leave with him.
• Boarders dock at the bottom airlock and climb deck by deck to the stasis pod at the top.
• Every level opens with the boarders cutting through the airlock. You get a few seconds to place traps before they break in, so move fast.
• Pick a trap in the tray, then tap a glowing slot. Traps go on the floor, the wall or the ceiling.
• The Admiral leaks Data while he's in the pod. Spend it on traps. Kills pay Data too.
• Manual traps (Slam Plate, Rail Gun) fire when you tap them. Tap any other placed trap, or long-press any trap, to open its sell menu.
• Combos: a boarder hit soon after being flung, dropped or blown back takes a combo. Launch them into ceiling traps, drop them onto spikes, freeze them and slam them. Steady burns from grids, mechs and drones don't count.
• If they crack the pod, they carry the Admiral down to the airlock. Kill the carrier and the tractor beam brings him home.
• ★ Hold the station · ★ Admiral never leaves the pod · ★ Nobody touches the pod.
