Space Centre Fuel Bay Control Valve

Reegan scales the fuel bay's towering infrastructure to this critical control valve perched at the highest point. Disguised as a worker, he tampers with it after punching UNIT soldier Parker in the stomach, neck-striking him unconscious, and kicking a second worker to his death off a railing. The sabotage demands surgical precision amid the bay's labyrinthine pipes and tanks.

Reegan sabotages fuel bay with lethal efficiency

The critical control valve at the highest point of the fuel bay complex is the primary target of Reegan’s sabotage. After eliminating Parker and the second worker, Reegan ascends the labyrinthine infrastructure to reach it. His precise manipulation of the valve—turning it with gloved hands—directly threatens the rocket launch, introducing a critical flaw into the system. The valve’s sabotage is the culmination of Reegan’s mission, a deliberate act of industrial espionage that escalates the conflict by endangering the launch and forcing UNIT to respond to an active, mobile threat.

Before: Functioning normally, integral to the fuel bay’s operations and the rocket launch sequence.

After: Tampered with and compromised, introducing a critical failure point that threatens the launch.
