The Pfhor attack on this base is particularly adamant. I must admit, I was surprised to find such a sparsely defended clean AI core when I first secured this facility. The core seems more like a junction point for accelerated communication between several isolated cells. Pfhor-built AI are usually relatively centralised; it makes them easier to control. Something is going on here that I don't yet understand.
The Pfhor have destroyed the outermost perimeter with tactical explosives and have begun to move in. A series of blast doors gate the inner facility; I want you to lock each door and repel the incoming Pfhor. I will maintain a secondary lockdown until the threat at each perimeter wall is sufficiently neutralised. I need you to hold off the Pfhor attack for as long as possible. Maintain the blockade while I attempt to mobilise forces to pull my core.
I'm afraid I've had to assume the worst about the Venator -- we've lost communications with her, and traffic on the Pfhor battle net would indicate her destruction. Noah, too, is entirely incommunicado. What remains of crash pod E104-A has been cut off from the Pfhor net by impenetrable pulses of white noise. For the time being, it would seem that we are alone.
