Questions about Center and the Checkpoints

I'm going to be bringing my Rifts group to Phase World and have them rift in on level 9 or 10. I don't really understand how the checkpoints between levels work though. The group will have a robot pilot with a Triax Super Hunter. DB2 states that

DB2 p.20 wrote:The checkpoints at levels 5 and 6 are reasonably strict and well-manned. At levels 7 and higher, however, vigilance is minimal and almost anybody can be let in, even people with heavy weapons


So how does getting out of those levels work, especially for a team with a 20' tall robot? They will be going to the Spaceport on level 2, so how exactly do they get there? Is he just allowed to walk through the checkpoints with his bot? Does he have to leave it with security and they ship it to level 2? For that matter, if they let people into level 7 "even people with heavy weapons", how do those people get heavy weapons from, say, the markets on level 4 through levels 5 and 6? I'm kind of confused as to how this all works.

DB 12: Dimensional Outbreak has more up to date information on the City of Center. I believe it has better information on the checkpoints but I'm not sure what page it is.

Thanks! I'm running in 103 P.A., so didn't even think to check Dimensional Outbreak. Great info in there.

If you assume the invasion of Center occurs in 110 PA then almost everything in that book is already in affect and flying around except Cormal herself. This means you can have lots events from the book or characters in it floating around as background.
