FMC Field Patch E8-1a [downlink] This is Dan in operations again. Excellent work, the information you gathered is very helpful, let me explain. We are taking heavy casualties in several key sectors due to an unforeseen glitch, camouflaged disrupter emplacements. Their surface to air and surface to surface disrupters are energized by broadcast power emanating from several power stations. Your data confirms that you have been dropped at what we had hoped to be the main fusion reactor complex. This complex is the hub of the power net energizing those disrupters. Our good luck.

FMC Field Patch E8-1b [downlink] There is a 4 tank reactor coolant overflow reservoir near your present location. Inside each tank is an emergency override switch, if you activate these switches you will be able to pump enough coolant from the reactors to cause them to shut down. By the way Captain, personnel in Operations are going wild watching the playbacks of you in action. You are our first cyborg, it really IS something to watch. I have 5 credits in a pool riding on your next head count. Don't make me pay these fools!

FMC Field Patch E8-1b [downlink] Dan here Captain. The good news is that the fusion reactor has powered down. The bad news is that as soon as the fusion reactor went down, the backup power supply came online. More good news though, the backup power station is an extremely old and inherently unstable geothermal power generator. More bad news too I'm afraid, the geothermal installation is 2000 meters below your present location, requiring a never before tried teleport through 1100 meters of solid bedrock.

FMC Field Patch E8-1b [downlink] I'm afraid there is no more good news. Well, I _did_ win the pool. That was good news, but the bad news there was that everybody put their money on a 100 percent kill ratio. I got my 5 credits back... they're yours if you can pull this one off... bring us back some good news, OK? Prepare to teleport:
