Yes, the way that mission works is u need to be fully geared for survival if u want to make PD and get farther into the mission.
what u mostlikely need is cure/freeze, cure/confuse, and/or cure/paralysis depending on what character class you are. You also atleast need about 80+ megid resistance to survive that
quest on the first & second stage mostly and seab but not really and you should always keep your health full at all times just encase fatal death happens unexpectedly cause if you die
you get sent to lobby so gear wisely depending on what team your with & survive as long as you can. Also to spice things up you can also go into "VR Spaceship Alpha" and have you
and 3 others get beat up by some "Gilchicc's" to gain 100% PB altogether for a Maximum boost in defense and strength!
P.S. if there is no android then u may need trap/search or any gear that has it built in to see traps cause that may be your cause for death. And if there is an android they stay behind them and wait for them to destroy the traps then proceed with caution. =)
