15: And the Devil Cried---

This is one of the possible locations of the Pfhor Security AI's core. I do not know if this is the location or not, but I need you to explore and find out for sure. As an added bonus, I have determined that the Pfhor are keeping several prisoners here, and I would like you to free them. The area indicated is unscanned due to the presence of a masking field of some type. I expect the prisoners to be there. The westernmost area indicated is also unscanned at this time, and I suspect the control switch to the door is somewhere near the prisoners.

I believe that the rebel Pfhor here may be quite tractable once the Security AI is shut down. It seems to be the source of the rebel movement, and that should lose wind once you remove the major player. I theorize that they can be convinced to join us, given serious incentive. You will provide that incentive. I am sure you will enjoy doing so. Return here once the prisoners are free, and you have explored the entire base.

This is not the one. There is one more option. This last outpost is located in a volcanic caldera, and you will have to move through a tunnel to find a back door. I believe that Overlord once tried to send you here as well, but that the Security AI rerouted you. That will not happen again. I have destroyed the rebels teleportation array with orbital particle cannon, and I will transport you down to this last outpost's one remaining teleporter node. Shut the bastard down.
