Battle of London

The Battle of London took place at, well, London. Antares had finally caught up with the Spiridus, just as its first attack took place. Antares One was immediately tasked with protecting London. After destroying all three anti-ground electrolaser cannons, the player is moved on to the second phase of the mission.

The second phase starts with Antares One flying head-on into the Spiridus. Almost immediately, the two F-14s that had been flying as the player's allies are shot down by an anti-air electrolaser cannon, which is on that little bulge on the top wing. Burford then commands Antares One to disable Spiridus's anti-air weaponry(AA guns, SAMs and flak guns) by destroying the FCUs(Fire Control Unit) while avoiding attacks by the anti-air elctrolaser cannon. Finally, after all of its weaponry destroyed, Antares One started to attack the electrolaser cannon. The explosion of the destruction of all four(3 anti-ground, 1 anti-air) electolaser cannons crippled the Spiridus, finally bringing it down. === Cutscene === The cutscene following the mission shows the final moments of the Spiridus and its crew. It starts when a crew onboard shouts that the engines' outputs were falling, and the aircraft started to roll to the right. A commander then commands the crew to try and maintain altitude while aiming the Balaur at the capitol building. However, the heat vent for the Balaur exploded, and the Spiridus suddenly dived, changing the direction in which it rolled. The final words of the Spiridus's crew was," She can't hold on! We're going down! Ahhhhhh!" The Spiridus then crashed into the Thames River, ending its reign of terror.
