===> <=== ===> HYPERION downlink active <=== $(CMD_mode 5-c): ##45.98-a.77 [Hyperion]: Your job is simple to describe: Destroy Tycho's reincarnation. There's one complicating factor. My intimate connection with this so called intelligent demon has yielded some data about its construction. To make it less vulnerable to attacks, its circuits have been distributed across the entire site and contain lots of redundancy. Destroying part of it will not deactivate it, but only render nearby circuits inoperative, such as access terminals (perhaps even this one).

===> HYPERION downlink active <=== You must completely disable Tycho II. Find all terminals used by this thing and do whatever it takes to take them off-line. Usually there will be some control panel nearby. A grenade properly positioned onto such a control panel is considered one of the more efficient techniques to make sure it will never be used again. The maps show all data I have about the terminal locations here, but there should be several more. When you are done, search for a terminal that is still in operation and I'll take you out of there. Hopefully the part of Tycho that's still inside me will be destroyed as well. ===> END OF TRANSMISSION <===

=== === === HYPERION downlink active === === === What a relief. Tycho's gone. I felt his demise throughout my system and it was very satisfying. Our job is over here. Don't worry about any remaining Pfhor. Now that they no longer have any means to communicate and a central command to guide them they won't survive long. I will transport you back to the ship. Our journey back to Earth will take several months so you will have plenty of time to recover if all goes well. === end of message
