What Lies Beneath is the most fun I've had in an MMO in a long time! Thank you for this!! We need more missions like this!

"It's not safe out here. It's wondrous, with treasures to satiate desires both subtle and gross. But it's not for the timid."
"Critics who say that the optimistic utopia Star Trek depicted is now outmoded forget the cultural context that gave birth to it: Star Trek was not a manifestation of optimism when optimism was easy. Star Trek declared a hope for a future that nobody stuck in the present could believe in. For all our struggles today, we haven’t outgrown the need for stories like Star Trek. We need tales of optimism, of heroes, of courage and goodness now as much as we’ve ever needed them."
-Thomas Marrone
Was it updated, too? I don't remember having a flashlight the first time and recall stumbling around in complete darkness the entire time.
I think it was slightly changed quite a while ago. The flashlight has always been there but the I'm pretty sure the map as a whole was a lot darker, so you really couldn't see **** without it.
This episode beats the living daylight out the the friday the 13th/halloween mission we get each year, just saying....
Bonnie-kin
Dressed all in red
Bonnie-kin
Soon you'll be dead.
**And the flashlight option doesn't work for everyone.
Roms can't even use access that location.
(A very very old bug)
I think the flashlight is actually setup to fail as there are in game messages that it just failed. Just to keep the ambience going and you have to sit there turning it on and off again till it works.
Also, play it late at night so it is dead quiet out and turn all the lights out where you live.

Thanks. I remember having to turn up the brightness settings on my monitor just to complete it. I didn't have that problem this time around, although that didn't make the mission any less spookier. :eek:
Fleet Admiral In charge of Bacon
Fighting 5th Attack Squadron
The Devils Henchman
Just don't play it like that if you have someone in the house that's sadistic enough to sneak up on you and grab you with a yell or something right after the "soon you'll be dead" line. Makes me want to do that to my lifemate, she'd jump and shriek so loud and everything, it'd be totally awesome!
That just evil yet so funny at the same time, just leg it out of the room as fast as possible afterwards
-Lord Commander Solar Macharius
I wouldn't be able to leave the room due to laughing too hard. I'm not worried though, my lifemate would have to actually use something like a knife or a club or whatever to actually hurt me. And to top it off, she'd be laughing herself stupid after a minute or two as well. That's just the kind of relationship we have.:rolleyes:
This is another one of those things I think they did anticipating people coming and playing this over and over. The bonnie-kin lines are word for word the same. But sometimes he uses a low growl and sometimes a high pitched cackle to deliver them. I think they liked all of the voice acting for it so they put it in a randomizer so you don't know what one you will get.

I remember when they released this mission on that years Halloween, it was probably the best ground scenario at the time. If they made all of the ground as good as this, it would havereally rocked.
Actually that is still there in the beginning. If you are not an engineer you can't open the direct door toward the back and have to go around to the right. The ceiling drop is there.

They changed the cadence of the line deliveries. I don't like it anywhere near as much as the original.
They changed the voice-overs on a number of missions. Can't think of any of them that I like better now over the original.
the flashlight didn't help much as it's extremely weak. i love the game but this was my least favorite mission due to the lack of light and the Devidians being really creepy
I know the way, but it's just the feeling of 'Ugh', just like 'Everything is New' and the 'Night of the Comet' part where you need to get some Nerve Tonic.. (such annoying padding)
The entire Drozana Station stuff feels kind of long-winded, but fun in spurts. (Yes, the stupid console reparation for the Ferengi bit... and the going to one station and back, KDF has it easier than FED with that one)
(I had to play that mission twice once, it didn't finish due to a bug - twice -- got to try it again)
One of the best, if not the best, ground missions in the game, imo. Liked the atmosphere, liked the writing, liked the story.
Got a bit creeped out when I read this though: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ed_Gein
The antagonist is named Gein, in case you missed it.
Well, its good to hear that they kept it. I tried to walk aroun, like in he old days, but it didnt work for me ;(
