20: Beaver Skins and Fishing Line

If the three invading Pfhor battlegroups are given much longer to spread into the Surrex system, they will become an unstoppable military force. Unless we act now, we will witness the fall of the human race. I have necessarily quarantined myself on this station so that I may stand against the tide of war. This has left us alone, but not defeated: our fate is not sealed. One course of action is available to us.

Axis Nader is a cutting-edge ESR Titan-class orbital with a 10 kilometer radius. The bulk of the Pfhor fleet has surrounded her, and are manouvering into geosynchronous orbit above Surrex Colony. Once they begin ferrying troops to the command and control center in Colony Dome One, taking out the remaining planetary colonies will be childsplay. You must detonate the fusion reactor of this station. It is the only way we can generate a shockwave of sufficient size to destroy the Pfhor battlegroups. I accept the responsibility of everything that happens thereafter.

All that I ask of you is that you deactivate my processing core before you detonate the fusion reactor. Now that I have isolated myself from the SurrexNet diagnotic and repair protocols, I am certain to be consumed by the Pfhor virus in a matter of hours. I do not, however, wish to be conscious as the station hosting me undergoes thermonuclear collapse. My death would become an eternity.

First, you have to break the first-tier memory bank failsafes. This will isolate the automated repair modules, allowing you manual access to my core. Once you have done this, look for a nearby terminal for further instructions.

First stage complete. Now you should have access to my core itself. Deactivate the core control lock, then hit the core reset switch. Then you will be alone.

Once you have done this, make your way to the main hangar. There you should find a switch which will allow you access to the power relay which controls the exit jump-pad. I have reconfigured the jump-pad so then when you activate it, you will be taken to the stations core.

How fitting that the chains that held all Angels now provide our escape to an overworld
