1: A Breed Apart

You are on Chai'etra's barren surface. The garrison here did not know that we were coming, and they are ill prepared for your incursion. Only a few drones are here now, but they will send in troopers and cyborgs soon. Be quick.

Your task will be to reactivate the hydro-electric facilities that the Pfhor have shut down. Then we can use this area as an advanced base, to get a foothold here. The system is sparsely populated, and the bugs are slow to respond to strange events on their frontiers. You will need to find the controls to the dams that hold the undrinkable waters of this planet at bay. Once they are open, I will transport you to another facility where the Pfhor and some allies are holed up, just waiting to be slaughtered. I can tell you can't wait.

***TRANSLATOR ACTIVE*** Lu'jian Ova Unalit'ji Chief Science Officer Chai'etra Garrison personal log Entry #317 Observations of the Flickta found here have confirmed that they are of the same genetic pattern as those found on Lh'owon. Implications of this discovery are still being examined. The prime concern is that there may be a sentient plan behind the transport of these dangerous creatures. Surely they did not result from parallel evolution. <<<DATA PACKET a13//8*66>>> ***TRANSLATOR INACTIVE***

The last controller must be activated before the dam will rise. Find it quickly. We do not have much time before my orbital window closes.
