Noah has prepared a communications interrupt chip. As soon as you install it into the local network, we will gain access to a larger percentage of the Pfhor data net. It would seem Noah knows exactly what he is doing. I must bear in mind that Noah may still carry damage form the crash, and I'm not sure I entirely trust his judgement. We do, however, have no other available choice. Access to the lower complex is controlled at the service elevator to the Northeast of the map. This should be your first target.

Gate Complex 03 origin: Technician 2nd Class Tb'nod destin: personal log file ref: native transport matrix stamp: monitored { cmd: personal log file init } We were lucky, I suppose, that the abandoned native information network seems to lend higher degrees of complexity to the areas surrounding each of the gates we have discovered so far. If only we could vanquish the constant line-noise in the network. Presumably we are causing the interference -- the harder we push into the network, the harder the network pushes back.

I can feel the presence of an increased number of uncatalogued network nodes as we make progress. It is almost as if the network is being continually rebuilt, or our presence alone is awaking some form of distributed network. Access to the service elevator has been locked down. Break the routers beside this terminal, and hit the hard reset switch to the West of the complex. Once thats done, return here and I'll make sure you have access to the service elevator.

internal unit files (ref: broadcast) #origin: unit Command destin: unit broadca @; csecureinterrupt.10 Noah has gained us access to an internal teleport matrix. We should now have access to the remainder of this base, located deep beneath this site. Following our assault on the base where you now stand, the Pfhor have begun mobilising troops to attempt to neutralise us. We essentially have no choice but to enter the deeper catacombs, only accessible by a closed-loop teleportation system.

internal unit files (ref: broadcast) #origin: unit Command destin: unit broadca @; csecureinterrupt.10 This site is a very recent exploration by the Pfhor, so the structure of the secondary dig site is not well documented. If Noah or I can acquire access to local scan facilities I may be able to pull up a map for you -- until then I'm afraid you're on your own. Clear out the occupant Pfhor forces, and be on the lookout for anything unusual. 1.70041446767000160000 04A21534954210001soon we will be blessed 6C17502060000000001000D0D1A48by a candle 7646F204569676874204 322 in the darkness
