Alien Ooze is a 3-1 rank mission.
Overview
Description:
One of our field research teams is under siege from a large colony of lichens. Lichens are an alien species of the slime family thought to have come to the Clockworks via a meteor that crashed on to the surface of Cradle. This particular species of slime is formed from innumerable smaller slimes that form mobile, sentient 'colonies.'
Lichen colonies can further combine to form larger and larger versions of themselves, rapidly evolving a range of deadly claws and barbs. Prevent them from combining at all costs and save the research team!
Objective:
Rescue the field research team from a lichen colony.

Misc NPC Knights
There are several miscellaneous NPCs in the Field Research Site.
When spoken to, they will say one of the following. Certain knights are more likely to say a certain phrase, and some phrases are used by more than one knight:
Three knights before the battle:
- "They came from the darkness. There was no time to react."
- "We're cut off! Please help us defeat those lichens!"
- "We were studying that meteorite when those lichens appeared!"
- "Don't know how long before our force field gives out..."
Two knights after the battle:
- "We were studying that meteorite when those lichens appeared!"
- "Thanks for rescuing our team!"
- "We were securing the elevator when the door shut behind us."
