Spoilers incoming, obviously, but what was up with that? The entire alien invasion was averted by a single engineer primarily using the basic tools of his trade? Why could none of military guys do this before dying? They must have procrastinated and put it off the way a normal person puts of taking out the garbage or something. And then the alien hivemind thing is nice enough to expose its brightly colored, inexplicable weak points. It clearly doesn't want to live! People are lazy in space, man. That’s actually pretty cool, but I’m still bitter about the goofy story for that game.
