Even something called the dark matter gun, which sucks the Strogg into a ball of dark matter and vaporizes them. While wandering around the ship, Ive overheard chit-chat about some of the really amazing weapons available out there: a nail gun, a rail gun, a lightning gun. And firepower is what you want when youre navigating the Stroggs facilities. Both of them deal out a lot more damage than my old machine gun, especially at close range.

Thankfully I got a shotgun from Corporal Mahler on a previous mission, plus a grenade launcher from Lieutenant Voss. Use the powerful lightning gun to literally shock the Strogg. (Im writing this from my quarters on the Hannibal, where were regrouping before the next mission.)
Ive survived my fair share of Strogg attacks already, between trying to hook up with the rest of Rhino Squad and helping them destroy the air defense cannon keeping the USS Hannibal from landing.

Miura’s “Mitate” will be performed by the Juilliard Percussion Ensemble at Lincoln Center’s Alice Tully Hall on Tuesday, March 29.

The work makes bold use of brass instruments, especially French horn, “and it’s no surprise that the ‘Eroica’ was one of the most influential works for young Strauss, whose father was an orchestral horn player. “It was probably the first time in history that a symphony became so intensely personal and dramatic,” Miura says, “and the ‘Eroica’ was by far the longest, and perhaps the most substantial, symphonic work of its time.” “Eroica,” which Beethoven completed in 1803, was written as he was coming to grips with hearing problems that would culminate in total deafness. It’s scored for flutes, oboes, clarinets, horns, bassoons, contrabassoon or tuba, and bass. The Strauss serenade, meanwhile, is the earliest composition by this late-Romantic composer to endure in the repertoire. The Beethoven symphony is a milestone in symphonic music, a work marking the transition from the formal strictures of the Classical period to the more emotional, organically unfolding style of the Romantic.
