I play with max monitor brightness, but at the same time the recomended brightness by the developer (which is very dark). So if you can't see a thing, up your brightness.

The ingame timer, it seems it counts cinematics, as such I am forced to cancel the queen's intro or that would ad a lot of seconds to my time.

On to the level itself, the first part you must kill two aliens or Tequila won't talk to you. There are four possible spawn points for these two aliens. SO you have to keep your eyes on the motion detector to inmediately go meet the aliens should they spawn on the non-usual spots. First spot, where I met the first alien, it's common. But this alien may stop and do a cry, or just start running on walls. If you get the cry then perfect because you can unload your pistol on it at close distance.

The second alien spot is around the turn on top of the cylinder, this alien doesn't tend to hiss but it tends to get stuck, so you can again get some free shots with relative ease.

The third alien is on the roof, close to the final track where Tequila talks to you, and you can see it before getting to it. It almost always does a cry, specially if you point at it with the flashlight, so you have time to close the distance and shoot it some. The fourth is a pain because it starts outside from view a few meters after the third one, and covered with the props on the floor. It then jumps onto the walls and starts dashing making it impossible to kill quickly, so if you get this one just restart :P This area I have done as fast as 57 seconds when the timer pops up, but that's killing the aliens on the first mag, which is more luck than anything. If you get bad luck you can finish this in 1:30, so I keep going as long as it is less than 1:10.

For the second section I spend a couple seconds grabbing the shotgun, I do this because otherwise on average I'd spend a lot more seconds versus the facehugger. You dont have to kill it, but you'd have to be very lucky to manage to put the generator in place without getting grabbed by it consistently, or killing it with the pistol in the first two shots if you decide to kill it. A shotgun blast is easier.

I carry the shotgun to the next floor because I can skip the second facehugger consistently, but its spawn is random and it can spawn on the way, where the only way to get past is by killing it. For the regular case you have to go around the room touching the walls (if you go using the "inner" curve then you get hit) but looking at the motion detector so if the critter spawns on the way you kill it inmediately.

I skip a lot of aliens and go into a forced fight, when you start the hacking five aliens spawn in a line, when you kill these the hacking completes. There are more than five aliens though and you can't really tell which are the five you want so just keep killing until its complete, in the unusual case where the hacking is complete and you have room to open the door and get in the elevator without getting killed then the remaining aliens will follow you into the locked room (aliens go through vent-blocking metal bars) where you can kill them without losing time.

After taking a look at Bishop you can skip some aliens and find the Hive, I destroy the eggs but I haven't tried not doing so, I know these facehuggers won't follow you when you get to Van Zandt so that could be a mistake.

The five aliens that spawn after you kill the Mayor are a forced fight luckily the first three can be killed before they move (I missed the grenade shot, shouldnt have needed the shotgun), and the other two are a bit away but can be killed too, I didnt have a good fight versus those remaining two.

Then just run to the queen fight. I go with pulse rifle because when you kip the cinematic you end up shooting, and the sg shells are very  important. Here you can wait the first phase out, or you trigger the furnace faster by destroying eggs, I try to destroy eggs while getting two grenades and not getting face-hug. This way after activating the furnace I can destroy the canister immediately. For the last stage of the queen fight however I am not sure how the triggers work, and its hard to figure out..., All I know is that ammo and aliens keep spawning, tequila talks to you from a random pool, of messages every 20 seconds, but if you wait long enough it seems to automatically end. BUT I have been able to activate the furnace sooner by killing aliens, the problem is that I am not sure of when kill count trigger starts and how many aliens it wants you to kill. My best bet is that after the fourth Tequila message if you clear the room then you can kill the queen.

This level, if you are quick, ends with the timer on screen, so timing is accurate, 9:52.
