Luxembourg

From the Resistance Wiki

Luxembourg is a small landlocked country in western Europe, bordered by Belgium, France, and Germany. Luxembourg has a population of under half a million people in an area of approximately 2,586 square kilometers (999 sq mi)

The country contained one of the last Maquis' strongholds in Europe. Ultimately in early September 1951, the Maquis stronghold was later besieged and destroyed by the Chimera. Luxembourg only appears in Resistance: Retribution.

[edit] Synopsis

Grayson arrives at the Maquis Fortress here just after stopping the second Earth Mover in the Construction Zone of Gerolstein. Unfortunately, his actions alert the Chimera to the presence of Maquis forces and other refugees in a small fortress in Luxembourg City. The Fortress itself is built over Casemates Tunnel. When Grayson arrives, he is quickly sent off to aid the Maquis VTOL aircraft, all stuck inside the hangar. Along the way, though, Grayson fights stiff resistance and fights his first armored hybrids on foot. Grayson is able to fight his way through and reach the hangar. Raine Bouchard and Mallery are already there, though Bouchard has left to find her father. Grayson attacks Mallery for leaving him to die and being a "frog" before he finally decides to help him and the VTOLs. Grayson is able to open the doors to the hangar, but the first VTOL, Mallery's, is attacked by Slipskulls. Grayson bails Mallery out, killing the Slipskulls off before they destroy the VTOL. Mallery tells Grayson that Parker is down near the communications room and to take the service elevator to reach it. Grayson tells him not to be around when he gets back. Grayson then heads to help Parker, who is attacked by Leapers. Grayson kills them, giving Parker time to explain that the radio is down and that its chaos on the surface. She also can't get into the communications room since she is attacked by Chimera. Grayson defends her from a number of Chimera before they enter the room. Grayson then hooks up the radio while Parker attempts to fix it. Shortly after, the room is assailed by a hoard of Chimera. Grayson fends them off and then heads down to the barracks. Parker comments that Grayson is a different man then the one she once knew. Grayson jokes that its his five o'clock shadow and that the Maquis won't issue them razors (blades, not rifles.)Grayson fights through the barracks and eventually finds Dr. Claude Bouchard's lab. Dr. Bouchard uses a syringe to take blood from Raine as Grayson barges in. He takes the blood and runs up a ladder to a giant centrifuge. As he approaches it, he is attacked and killed by a Burrower. Rather than leaving, Raine wants to finish what her father was doing. Grayson puts the blood in the device and fends off an army of Chimera before an armored Titan destroys the centrifuge. Raine fails to salvage the blood, and Grayson kills the Titan. Mallery comes in at that time and takes Raine to a waiting VTOL for liftoff. Grayson then works his way to the wall and must defend the outer perimeter. After some fighting, Grayson uses a turret to protect a VTOL from Drones and Titans. After some more combat, he rendezous with Cartwright and attack a Chimera controlled bunker. They succeed, but watch as the NAV computer on Mallery's VTOL is damaged. Cartwright then rushes into the fray towards a destroyed VTOL to harvest its NAV computer, leaving Grayson with a Chimera turret to cover him. Grayson succeeds and Mallery gets away. Shortly after, Parker arrives, picking Cartwright and Grayson off and ending the level.
