I am stuck in Level 39 - Mil Space Station: Fully Operational. I make it to the room that has respawing troopers that leave EMPs when destroyed. At this point I do NOT have the tether. Where was I supposed to pick that up? Is there another way to beat this level?

Not only is this level unpassable without the tether, an earlier level was as well. I can't imagine you not having the tether (It is impossible to miss, as are the upgrades.) Is this a legal copy of the game?

I have been without the tether since they captured Glitch and stripped him of all his equipment. Haven't gotten one back since. Where do you pick up the tether once getting past General Curosive?
It's a full legal purchased copy of the game.

I forgot about that stinkin level. I left the Scope there, but it wasn't necessary like the Tether. I believe you are totally screwed. The game should have dropped you right onto the Tether in "Race to the Rocket".

.You just forgot to get it... after glitch reassembles himself, you need to get all of you weapons back and you just didn't get the tether
