The main reactor is inoperative, the Huot'chikagh's shields are down and we can teleport you from here to our shuttle. Once you arrive, make your way to the computer terminal at the front of the craft and we will give you further instructions regarding the manuscript you carry.

Welcome Marine. We have computed the possibility to immediately use the data store you have retrieved to destroy the Pfhor ship and the remaining Pfhor along with it - a precursor to the eventual subjugation of their entire race. After so many aeons of slavery it will be exquisite to turn the tables at last! Place the manuscript in the nearby receptacle, then smash the adjacent panel to reroute the shuttles computer circuitry through the enclosed data. We should then be able to send a viral impulse to the Huot'chikagh causing it to drop out of orbit and burn up in the Earths atmosphere. You must hurry before the Pfhor power up the reactor again and re-establish their force field. When the fireworks are over, return to this terminal.

Well done. The area is now secure, and the shuttle's computers have started to interpret the manuscript data. This information will be of great use to our kinds in the continuing conflict against the slavers. Once again, you have our deep and eternal gratitude. The last of the Pfhor in this time have been destroyed. We can only hope that they are at last defeated, but it seems to be an eternal struggle. Enter one of the vacant stasis chambers in the adjoining room and we shall return you to hypersleep for the remainder of the journey back to your world. It is not far to travel, but it is far ahead. Rest well.
