It's not looking too pretty at the main gate. The Prothetus has sent reinforcements and the BOB's are falling back. The clock is running and I suggest you use the new toys that I've provided to reach the central Prosthetus unit and pull its plug, literally. Have you tried your second trigger on the rocket launcher yet? ¶ Surprise ¶

The SPNK-R Mk. II features a new fuel type in the rockets, which produces less smoke, as well as an under-barrel grenade launcher. The fuel type was copied from the hunter leader you waxed in the last level near the uplink station. The head of the BOB science team informed me that a trace of the unburnt rocket fuel was found caked to your shoes after you beamed out. Didn't I tell you to wipe your feet after wading through Pfhor blood? The grenade launcher is based on the bouncing design used by the tracked cyborgs, but the ordinance is fusion-based. Don't stand too close when it goes off.

On the down side, hunter armour improvements have made some weapons virtually useless against them. We don't have much time for survival, make haste. Oh, and remember to thank Bob if you return.

The central core has been rigged - its all your fault! Didn't you bother to check the ship's core for explosives before sealing the reactor? The BOBs are working on a disarmament procedure, but your ride has a life expectancy of 15 minuties. GET MOVING! And don't forget that uplink chip, it deactivates the main force field into their central command! Your sloppy work might just cost me my ship! Maybe it's time I put you back on ice... if I can find any when this is over.

Nice work, for now. Maybe I'll keep you around after all. What should a reward you with in you down time? Meet Bobra...no she's not assimilated, but be careful all the same.... After all, your shoddy work almost cost me my ship and my life

AI Prothetus: Lives

Well well, so you've made it this far. Don't worry, I've got troops on the way to eliminate the cancer that you are. Stand still and count to 5...

Still there? Not for long. Reserves are just around the corner. Oh by the way, that little incursion my troops made onto your ship?

Well *grin*, I slipped a little surprise into the ships core. Lets just say that we'll have a breath-taking show from planet side. Head back outside, you might be just in time to see your old AI friend go down in flames...better dial 555-tyco for assistance! P.S. Thanks for closing the core for me, it took Durandal a lot longer to find the detonator. ¶ Somewhere over the Pfhor-bow.. ¶ <Snif>...

AI Prothetus: I = self.
