Second objective: Disable the sentient holding pens

Start moving towards the nearest holding pen which can be found to the north-east (3 on the map). You'll probably encounter a much larger flying saucer. Don't attack it. Instead, get ready to take on additional enemy forces. It would be a good idea to use Mirabel's attacks as often as possible. Use Variant tanks only if you notice that Mirabel can't handle enemy troops on her own. Like I've already said, you don't have to be in a lot of hurry. Secure each area before proceeding to the next one.

Reaching the first holding pen shouldn't take you too much time. I guess you won't be surprised by the fact that you'll have to take out additional enemy units here, including Defilers. Remember that you should be using mostly Mirabel, so you won't have to wait for allied planes to grant you with reinforcements. You should also know that each time you've been granted new units, a large group of enemy forces appears in the vicinity. Thankfully, you won't have to destroy the holding pen. It's going to be neutralized automatically. All you have to do is to get close enough to it. Make sure that your Hacker units stay safe. Keep them in the back and explore new areas before allowing them to get closer.

The second holding pen can be found to the north-west (4 on the map). As you've probably noticed by now, there's a longer journey ahead of you and you'll encounter a lot of enemy units along the way. You'll also be dealing with Brute units, so you have to be more careful, because it's going to take you more time to neutralize them and they won't have any problems destroying your tanks. I would recommend heading towards the western edge of the map. Watch out for additional zombies. They will appear mostly near a large building which can be found to the south of the second holding pen (screen). Approach your target from the south-west. Deal with the remaining enemy units and disable the shields.

The final holding pen is located to the north-east (5 on the map). This time you can travel there by moving in a straight line. Be careful, though. Don't let any of the Hierarchy units surprise you. Watch out for your Hacker units and prevent enemy forces from killing them. I guess you won't be surprised by the fact that your third target is going to be well defended (screen). Try using Viktor's missile attack to take out Defiler units. Get closer to the holding pen and disable it. Move your hero to the south, because a new group of enemy units will probably appear there. Wait for the game to display a new mission objective.

Third objective: Escort a Hacker to the Hierarchy Detection Drone

The main entrance leading to the camp is located to the east, however I wouldn't recommend going there, because it's being heavily defended (by two guard towers and several Hierarchy units). Ignore general Moore's actions, because you won't be able to control him. Allow him to engage on a suicide mission by breaking through the main entrance. You should consider moving north-east. You'll encounter a few enemy units along the way. Eventually you will reach a road which leads directly to the camp (6 on the map).

Now you will have to start moving south. Obviously you will come across new enemy units along the way. Additionally, you will have to be on a look out for an enemy saucer, because it'll probably drop a few units nearby. Protects your hackers at all costs. They should stay close to the tanks and your main character. You will have to escort them to the Detection Drone (7 on the map). A nearby building is probably destroyed, so you won't encounter any Hierarchy units inside the camp. Just make sure you're not too close to the western turrets. Allow one of your hackers to get here. Once he's done taking control over the drone, this mission will come to an end.
