The Ancient Generator is a 1-2 rank mission.
Overview
Description:
The Rescue Camp has no power and with it, no means of defending itself from the onslaught of monsters that attack in the night. With the sun setting fast, it's up to you to enter the dark depths below the camp and locate an Ancient Generator.
If you can restore power to the camp, the Spiral Knights can power their turrets and create a defensive perimeter. Once secure, it may be possible to reconnect with Spiral HQ.
Objective:
Explore the Ancient Generator and restore power to the Rescue Camp before night falls!
Notes
During the mission, a lot of deactivated Mecha Knights appear in the level. Interestingly enough, there are several types of Construct monsters (Scuttlebots, Retrodes or Gun Puppies) that the player must fight in the current level except for Mecha Knights.
The 
Prestige Mission: Assault on Machine Shop 13 uses the same image card in the Mission Interface.
