This mission isn't that hard. Your objective is to rendezvous with Castor at the other end of the facility. You don't need to be too mobile and even though Frighteners appear, you don't have to fight them (yet). Your main opponent are shotgun wielding security MTs but they're fragile and die very easily. You start out in several small corridors and leading to rooms where the MTs are. You can avoid or destroy them if you want; you don't have to fight them. There will be two closed doors in your way - destroy the control panels next to them to force-open (best to shoot them as aiming with a blade at such target can be cumbersome).

Later on in the level, there is a door in the hall after the second room that can be unlocked by a Head with a Hacking Function equal to or greater than 4. These heads are the: ZHD-8008/S, EHD-DOME and the EHD-WACS. Opening up this door leads to a chamber with a number of boxes. Destroy the boxes and you find a grate. Destroy the grate and you find the chamber where the hidden FCS: DOX-ALM is located.

At one point in the mission, you encounter a shaft with a cargo elevator. You need to take this down to the bottom, otherwise the final door will not open. Once you enter the final corridor, you hear the screams of your AC ally and just past the doors, you find out that Remille and Boyle have killed Castor. Fortunately, their leader will call them off, making the two leave the scene. Reaching this cutscene completes the mission.

Armored Core 2 is a 2000 third-person shooter mecha video game developed by FromSoftware for the PlayStation 2. It is the fourth entry in the Armored Core series and an indirect sequel to Armored Core: Master of Arena. In North America, Armored Core 2 was a launch title for the PlayStation 2. A direct sequel, Armored Core 2: Another Age, was released in 2001 for the PlayStation 2.

The story takes place almost 70 years after Master of Arena. Following the colonization of Mars, a powerful organization called the Frighteners overthrows the government at the behest of their leader, the enigmatic Leos Klein. The player is a mercenary who is tasked with dismantling the Frighteners and defeating Klein.

Armored Core 2's gameplay is largely similar to that of its predecessors. Players take control of powerful machines called Armored Cores and engage in dangerous missions or fight in the Arena against other pilots. Like earlier games, Armored Core 2 features a local multiplayer mode that includes a console linking feature and allows two players to fight each other with their own custom Armored Core.
