When the 45 second timer is up, the RDGU explodes and there is no other way to proceed without strong tanking abilities.

{{MessageBox|After hacking Remote Defense Grid Unit | |||
|By hacking the remote defense unit, you've managed to rewire one of the sentry guns nearby. It now considers you friendly and the other sentry guns as hostile and will start attacking them. | |||

{{MessageBox|Hostiles targeting friendly Sentry Gun | |||
|The hostile sentry guns in the area have started targeting the rewired sentry gun. Might it be possible to help it out in some way? | |||

Immediately after hacking this container, active the Microwarpdrive and burn towards the Sentry Repair Station located near the right of your present position. Hacking the Sentry Repair Station will cause it to provide armor and shield reps to the friendly Tower. (The friendly Tower cannot receive remote repairs from ships.) There is enough time for 2 hacks, maybe 3 fast hacks, before the hostile Sentry Towers destroy the friendly Tower: | Immediately after hacking this container, active the Microwarpdrive and burn towards the Sentry Repair Station located near the right of your present position.

Hostile Towers do not appear to aggress ships even if the hacking the Sentry Repair Station is unsuccessful. Instead, the hostile Towers appear to keep incurring damage and are eventually destroyed, even with the Rewired Sentry Gun destroyed. This is another bug of the site itself. Should it be fixed in the future, simply revert to Plan B. ''Do not aggress the Sentry Towers with weaponry - it will instantly trigger the 16 Perimeter Defense Sentry Towers.'' | Hostile Towers do not appear to aggress ships even if the hacking the Sentry Repair Station is unsuccessful.

{{MessageBox|After hacking Sentry Repair Station Preservation Unit | |||
|You have successfully turned the focus of the repair facility to the rewired sentry gun. This will not only repair it from incoming damage, but also speed up the destruction rate of the hostile sentry guns now that they no longer enjoy the benefits of the repair station. | |||

Assuming a successful hack of the Sentry Repair Station, simply sit near the Repair Station and wait for the hostile Towers to be eradicated. Do not approach the 3 Unstable Plasma Chambers located north of the warp-in. Getting too close to these could be fatal, and will also trip the alarm. | Assuming a successful hack of the Sentry Repair Station, simply sit near the Repair Station and wait for the hostile Towers to be eradicated.
