3: Free Aliens - While supplies last

@^ HYPERION ACCESS TERMINAL ~~/ $_security clearance check....OK $_command input: [] -- Good to have to back on the ship. I desperately need you here. I am being attacked from all sides. My encounter with that clone of Tycho down on the planet when you accessed the terminals almost destroyed my command pathways. Tycho-2 was prepared for our contact. He had engineered a very complex computer program specifically meant to disable Earth AI technology like me. He knew who I am, who you are, where we are from and he probably let you access him on purpose to execute his little devious plan to destroy me. He has access to this ship! THIS TYCHO DUPLICATE MUST BE DESTROYED

>> HYPERION AI << % ::(text mode active) Unfortunately we have more pressing business to attend to right now. The Pfhor have boarded us and are tampering with the (my) circuits. They also disabled some of the autonomous secondary control systems. You probably noticed that all breathable air is gone. On the map to the left I have marked the closest oxygene unit (to your south). You will need it. There are teleporter traps, created by the Pfhor technicians and Tycho's agents in my system. These traps guard entire rooms and auto-teleport any human in there to a detention cell. I am trying to unlock the doors in the area but I'm also constantly fighting against Tycho's influence and it is not going well.

>> HYPERION AI << % ::(text mode active) I still have control over the engineering section. The entrance doors are locked to prevent any unauthorized access. The terminal in that section (marked on the left) is still secure. Contact me there for further instructions. Make this your first priority The only way in is through the auxiliary transporter in the adjacent science lab. This system was just being installed when we left Earth, so be careful not to touch the wiring. It's still fragile. I am preparing more prisoners to assist you. There are also some S'Pht'Kr at my disposal, but they are not ready yet.

@@ HYPERION ACCESS TERMINAL ~$//s..) $_security clearance check....OK $_command input: [text mode engaged] -- I have established a sequence of actions to regain control of the ship and completely exterminate all aliens aboard. The plan consists of 3 parts. You may proceed with these in any order you consider most likely to succeed. Part 1: Reactivation of engines See map (left). The fuel system needs repair. Follows the steps indicated to reactivate the pumps. This will raise the fuel level considerably so get out of there quickly once step 2 is completed.

>> HYPERION AI << % ::(text mode active) Part 2: Destruction of the Pfhor shuttle The ship that brought the Pfhor here is still present and continuing to deliver more Pfhor. It has a synchronized orbit and established some sort of force-field based corridor to our cargo bay door. The shuttle must be destroyed. I have scanned the interior and found a weak point: the force field generator. According to my analysis, a direct hit with sufficient energy will short out the circuits of the generator, causing the force field to overload and crush the shuttle to subatomic particles. Beware of a possible nuclear explosion.

>> HYPERION AI << % ::(text mode active) Part 3: Repair engine control system Even with the engines back on-line as result of part 1 of my plan we still cannot move because the control system for the engines has been disabled. The Pfhor have removed a key chip. You must find it and reinstall it. The system itself is near the cargo bay door and to the left you see an archived image of the system in operational state. Good luck with the plan. Report to me at the access terminal of the engine control system after you have repaired it.

&& HYPERION ACCESS TERMINAL **($>) $_security clearance check....OK $_command input: [** >TM-] -- Good work. I have reestablished full control over the engines and navigation. When you have finished my 3 phase plan you must continue to exterminate any Pfhor left in our ship. Then contact me at one of the terminals indicated on the left and I will teleport you out. The door behind you leads down to the fuel reserve tanks and waist recycling. I think the retreating Pfhor are concentrating their most fearsome troops down there. I will send in all S'Pht'Kr I have available when you get there. Be careful not to hit them.

@# HYPERION ACCESS TERMINAL %^&) $_security clearance check....OK $_command input: [## *$_99.24.345] -- Return here when you have finished the execution of the 3 stages of my control and extermination plan and killed all remaining Pfhor. Good luck.
