You have to recover one by sending a droid out of the station and drag it back in. The station is falling apart, fast, and you can't do a damn thing to prevent that. Now picture this scenario: spaceships are slowly destroying your turrets on the outside, Berserkers are everywhere on the inside polluting the air every chance they get, and you're now stuck in a corner of the station, using a VOS terminal that has half the capabilities of its Control Room's counterpart. As you destroy these menaces, they end up polluting the air in the process, which forces you to retreat the Control Room. As these robotic intruders, the Berserkers, come filing into the Control Room, you take them out one by one. Bad news, indeed, but the problem can be solved with just a few shots from your gun, right? As the second wave of attacks starts to die down, a computer voice warns that a group of intruders has invaded the base. Add in the fact that you have to reload each turret one at a time, and you start to get a bit worried. At this point, your turrets start taking on damage, and you realize you can't repair them. It's the second wave of attacks, however, where things get nasty. Heck, you can even take control of one and shoot down a couple of ships yourself. It's really nothing to get worked up about, actually, since the automatic turrets takes care of them. About a minute or so after the activation (or even before, if getting to the Control Room was a struggle), the station starts detecting a group of spaceships approaching, supposedly aliens. Once you get to the specific menu and activate the defense controls, you should feel relieved, right? Nope, this is where things heat up. The VOS has quite a number of menus that lead to sub-menus, which makes getting to where you need an annoyance. But even after that, you still feel lost. When you finally do reach the Control Room and enter the Virtual Operating System (VOS), you'll get an introduction from a woman, who tells you exactly how to install the software. If you don't have the manual, you're screwed, because you'll end up wandering the station's floors for quite a bit until you get lucky. The only real help you'll get is from the instruction manual, and even then, it's still a bit confusing. Getting there is an adventure in itself, since there's nothing within the game that really helps you move in the right direction. As you set foot on a defense station in space, you need to make it all the way up to the Control Room and install a defense software. Those are the feelings you'll get when you play through Defcon 5 for the very first time.
