=== HYPERION ACCESS LINK INSTALLED === I apologize for the rough entry. There was an unfortunate transporter accident as the Pfor erected a backup shield just when you were being teleported in. I nearly lost you... Your weapons did not make it at first, but shortly after you arrived I sent them down to the same coordinates. They should have materialized close to you. I assume that you had no problems recovering them. I am not sure that I will be able to get you back out. I will have to find a way because I might need you on the ship soon. The Pfhor are beginning to attack using shuttles and teleporters. The prisoner-soldiers we brought along are fighting for their lives but they are no match for the Pfhor hunters.

Right now you have more important business down on the surface: Your arrival triggered the intruder alarm system. In response the Pfhor disabled the entire computer system, including life support. This effectively prevents me from sending you troops. They would die in seconds. They probably would anyway... Here are your instructions: 1. On the left you see a typical computer as used by the Pfhor for environmental control and life support. There are several in this complex. Find them and activate them. 2. Try to find out who is controlling the defense system. It must be an AI. It's too complex to be controlled by the Pfhor.

I have located one of the computers. It's located directly south of here. To get there you must first open a large door which is controlled by a switch. To reach the switch you must raise the platform shown on the left (blue) by activating the switch indicated in red. All doors are operated by the computers. Therefore it is likely that some switches won't operate until you activate the computer it connects to. To activate the computers you will need chip keys. I have two keys available. You will probably need more, in which case you will have to find the others yourself. Knowing the Pfhor they must have hidden them very well. === HYPERION ACCESS LINK TERMINATED ===

=== HYPERION ACCESS LINK INSTALLED === Good work. All computers are back on-line and life support has been restored in the entire site. As a small added bonus I now have access to the defense system. I just succeeded in dropping the protective shield. Good for you, otherwise I would not be able to transport you out. I need you back with me. The Pfhor have launched an orbital attack. I have been boarded. Prepare to defend your only way home... === HYPERION ACCESS LINK TERMINATED ===
