=== After the Boss Goes Down ===
Once the Super Tank has been destroyed, head to the middle of the floor where there's an opening in the center of a square marked by red and black diagonal stripes.  Get on the ladder and climb down the shaft.  Be careful to stay on the ladder, because the drop is long and will cause damage if you lose your grip.
Once the Super-Tank has been destroyed, the force-fields in the doorways near the start of the level turn back off.  If you want to, you can go back and collect the Jacket Armor, get five Grenades by picking up the Grenade Launcher and collect other heath and ammunition on the way.  Also, a hatchway opens in the middle of the arena floor, at the center of a square marked by red and black diagonal stripes.  Get onto the ladder and climb down the shaft below the hatch.  Be careful to stay on the ladder; the drop is long and if you lose your grip you will suffer fall damage.


Once you have climbed down the Grid Control Computer access shaft, here are no more enemies to eliminate in this area.  Proceed west along the tunnel until you encounter a vertical structure with blue beams of light in it.  This is the Grid Control Computer.  It is invulnerable as long as the blue beams surround it.  Step onto the small, circular lift platform just west of it and ride to the platform above, then walk around to the east of the machine.  Press the button in the pedestal to raise a shielding cylinder, exposing the blue, lozenge-shaped computer core.  Blue laser beams sweep the area, but as long as you stay at the pedestal, you are safe.  Shoot the core with your Blaster to destroy it.  You're done with the Jail Area UnitA brief cut-scene is played as you proceed to Mines Unit.

Once you have climbed down the shaft, there are no more enemies in the level.  Proceed along a tunnel until you come to a vertical structure with blue laser beams in its center.  Step onto a small, circular lift platform nearby and ride up, then walk around to the other side of the machine.  Press the button on the post to lift up a shielding cylinder, exposing the blue, lozenge-shaped computer core.  Blue laser beams sweep the area, but as long as you stay at the button, you are safe.  Shoot the core with your Blaster to destroy it.  Your field computer updates instructing you to "Proceed to next combat unit"Take the short corridor to an elevator and press the button there marked "EXIT".
