*The code to reactivate the Sentinel defense network is the same as the one to deactivate it: spin the outer ring to the left three times, the middle ring to the left five times and the inner ring to the right twice. | *The code to reactivate the Sentinel defense network is the same as the one to deactivate it: spin the outer ring to the left three times, the middle ring to the left five times or once to the right and the inner ring to the right twice. | ||
*It is not necessary to keep all three locks clear at the end to reactivate the Sentinel defense network. The network charges regardless of the fact that one or more go down, though less active locks means a slower charging. However, losing all three locks stops the charging until at least one is cleared out again. If the locks become filled with Flood biomass once again, the player can clear them by targeting the biomass as they did to clear it in the first place. | *It is not necessary to keep all three locks clear at the end to reactivate the Sentinel defense network.

*After arriving at the control terminal and clearing out the biomass, the player will begin gaining an increase in resources and power the same as if they had a base established. As a result, the player can keep calling in troops through the teleporters to help hold the Flood off until the Sentinel defense network charges up again. Mainly, the player is limited by the number of troops they can have, the same as on any other mission, but the teleporters allow them to keep calling in reinforcements to replace the troops that fall to the Flood. | *After arriving at the control terminal and clearing out the biomass, the player will begin gaining an increase in resources and power the same as if they had a base established.

*On higher difficulties, it is recommended to repeatedly kill the Flood tentacles.

====Bonus and Optional Objectives==== | |||
*It is best to have one unit went through the laser defenses since any units killed by it will instantly failed the objectives. | |||
*When the player is at 2 minutes quarantine time, ensure to finish it under two minutes. If not, the bonus objective will fail. | |||
*Gaining 100 kill through Incendiary Gel is should be easy if the player know how it works. | |||
**Utilize your Leader Power and Voridus' ability to the fullest to earn this. | |||
**It is best to earn at two areas, where the player will defend the position until the lightbridge is activated and during charging power for the sentinel defense network. | |||
**Make sure no other units are killing it, only Voridus' incendiary gel abilities and any Incendiary arsenals from Leader Power. This means Voridus must also stay out of the fight and lure them into the incendiary gel. | |||
