    Where:3rd Layer Industrial Research
    Mission: Defend Naire Bridge
    How To: Well, first of all you have to find this part, not just complete the level. Then once you reach the end of the first part of the bridge, there will be a ledge to your left in the middle of the bridge. Look inside the bridge. You will have to fly to the other end. You might need a strong booster for this. Once you get inside, the part will be laying near the edge. Press O to pick the part up. Your Computer Head will say, "AC Part Acquired."

    How to Get the Karasawa

    Now if you want to get the best gun in the game listen up. You need to beat the mission Destroy Gun Emplacements, You need to beat the mission in under two minutes, (remember there is a second part to this). I suggest you bring some good hover legs your choose, and the arm mounted grenade launcher. If you beat the mission fast enough you will be asked if you will help distract the union forces. If you do you will have to hold out for 5 minutes with never ending enemies so you might want a fast AC. If you do well you will get mail saying that you got the Karasawa.

    Secret Part

    In the level that is called "Safeguard Water Supply" in the third layer: Industrial Research, a part is located at the top of the dam. As soon as you start, take a right and the part should be behind the building in the middle of the dam.

    Hidden Parts

    If you want to have the head that BB has, listen up. You find it in Defent Naire Bridge, go to the edge of the first part of the bridge, then when you see a small beam get on top of it. Now if you can fly all the way back you'll see it near the front of the ledge but you'll need to recharge anyway. Getting back is up to you I still have a hard time with that.
