After having saved the Crystallids from assured destruction, Progenitor Locus moves to destroy the GalCorp Rift station Singularity. *THIS MAP IS BASICALLY A CINEMATIC. IT'S PURELY FOR THE STORY. JUST WATCH AND ENJOY THE CARNAGE.* It will be laggy at points. If you don't care about the story enough to simply watch for a few minutes, don't play this map.
Instead of having people play through the same map for a third time, I decided to make this map an automatic "cinematic" map. I could have quite easily left it and said "Oh, yeah, the station was destroyed after the Crystallids were rescued" but I felt that would have been a bit meh. Therefore, this map. Then we can finally move the story on. :P
"Keep your eyes peeled."
"Sir, an energy signature that big is hardly going to be difficult to spot, is it?"
"SILENCE!"
Also, I learned from watching this that lathes do not benefit from the fire multiple. Probably because they operate every frame even under normal circumstances.
