Wait through the entire opening cinema. Run through the level and photograph the isotope and recover the CamSpy afterwards. Then run for the laser section. No specific strategy is given here as you can do all this at a relatively leisurely pace, and you will still find yourself waiting around for the bot to lead you through the lasers.

Wait through the entire opening cinema. Run through the level and photograph the isotope and recover the [[CamSpy]] afterwards. Then run for the laser section. No specific strategy is given here as you can do all this at a relatively leisurely pace, and you will still find yourself waiting around for the bot to lead you through the lasers.
The time at which the bot reaches the first laser is critical. For a good run, you need a good bot, the faster the better. It's as simple as that. However, this time is also - as far as anybody can tell - absolutely random. (It does seem that PD cartridges purchased AFTER the initial release give consistently faster times at the first laser. Make of this what you will.) So there is a significant luck/perseverance factor in getting good times on this level.

It is the section after the lasers where you can actually use your speed to get faster times. As you get to the final laser, go right up to it (hurt yourself on it!) and pause and release the CamSpy on the far side. Use the CamSpy to open the two doors ahead of you and save yourself a second or so. [[Speed strafe]] through and start Data Uplinking the computer next to the locked door, ignoring everybody on the level who shoots you in the back at this point. Carefully turn around and move to face the door while this is happening, but don't let the uplink break. Pause and unpause repeatedly while listening out for the precise time of the uplink completion, then open the door and bolt through.

Strafe like a loon through the rest of the level, avoiding switching strafes for any reason. In the final room with the drone guns, just go straight down the middle and they will not shoot you once. Spam B as you reach the last door.
