—Mission briefing

The Widow's Lair is where the Gravity Well is located. It is also the home of the mighty and fearsome Black Widow Guardian that all intruders must face if they wish to gain access to the Gravity Well. It appears a couple of Marines have attempted to reach the Gravity Well but their corpses tell the tale of their failures to overwhelm the protector. One Marine (either by design or accident) has crashed his pod near the Gravity Well with a failure of comedy proportions.

At this late stage of the game all players will have a good understanding of their ability and that ability will be put to the test. They will also know how annoying one or two Stalkers can be and so an endless supply being spawned in will not be forgotten too soon (as if the Widow herself isn't already one of the most powerful Strogg on the planet).

One of Stepchild's comrades will be trapped in his pod. He will be heard banging on it repeatedly saying 'Let me out'. As he is not driven insane by Strogg, he is unable to be killed.
