The Muse of Tragedy.
Daughter of Zeus and Mnemosyne.
The "Songstress"
In spite of her joyous singing, she is represented by the tragic mask.
She is sometimes seen with garland, a club and a sword.
She is often seen wearing cothurnes, boots traditionally worn by tragic actors, and a crown of cypress.

Ship Tips:
• The red aliens move very fast and aggressively. Be cognizant of them, and take them out as they appear. Be careful, as new ones may spontaneously appear beneath you.
• Melpomene contains only two fireballs and two lasers. The fireball will be the most effective weapon for use on the ship, since it can fire in bursts. (Since the laser cannot fire another blast until the previous blast has gone the distance, it will not do much good when aliens are closing in on you) When starting out in C-3, take the passage in the upper right hand corner. Continue on up into D-2. You can acquire a fireball there.
• After you've picked up the fireball in D-2, you might as well get the hostage up in the right side of C-1. However, once you've rescued this hostage, proceed over to the left side of the ship, working your way back up into C-1 on the left side, and winding back down to the last hostage in A-2. Take the warp back to C-3 (where you started, and clear out the right side of the ship.
• Warning! When you enter the small alcove at the top of C-5 to rescue the hostage there, two red aliens will appear in this space. Stay near the top until you have killed them--they will both appear on top of the hostage--then rescue the hostage and get out.
HaggahTakes ? hits to defeat.
Aim ABOVE the oval spot located at the bottom center of Haggah's body when his face is scrunched up. Position yourself slightly underneath him and to the left so that the fireballs shoot out of his ears. If you're underneath him, Haggah moves slowly; if you move off to the side, he will be easier to inflict damage upon, but he will move faster.
Recommended Weapon: Fireball
Reason: You'll want to work quickly with Haggah. He spits out the three-spread very frequently (for much of the time, you may find yourself running from his spread, making it very difficult to position yourself and shoot). By finding a 45-degree angle from which you can hit him in the weakspot and avoid the firespread, it shouldn't take too long to kill him. (More details to follow once he's been defeated on my end)
