FMC Field Patch E8-1c [downlink] Good! You made it this far. You are the first one to check in as yet. You are too deep underground for sensors to track you and your men. If you are at this terminal then our schematics show you to be over halfway to your objective. I have a couple of things of interest to tell you. Scuttlebutt has it that Doc Mjolnir has requested that we return to Earth after this campaign. Need a lift? Another thing FYI, Engineering lab has sifted through the wreckage of one of those armored juggernauts you downed and has some fascinating findings. Those guided missiles are bionic. They are using the ganglionic masses of a small insect to home in on their targets. In your vernacular, a kamikaze cockroach brain. (See inset)

FMC Field Patch E8-1d [downlink] Captain, thank God! You must hurry! We can defend ourselves against the tri-cobalt satellites but we are really taking a pounding from the ground disrupter fire. Captured documents show one geothermal power converter here.

FMC Field Patch E8-1d [downlink] Another power generator is here. You will have to find the others by yourself. We expect there to be 4 in all. Have you noticed that many failsafes, guard stations and lock downs are in groups of 4? Our exobiological psychologists say it most likely has to do with the number of fingers on the hands of these creatures. It doesn't matter, just go shut those units down. Hurry.

FMC Field Patch E8-1f [downlink] THAT'S IT! They are fleeing! The enemy is in total chaotic retreat. Only now we have a new problem. After you shut down auxiliary power there was a major exodus of the enemy from the planet. We have been boarded! Prepare to beam aboard and help us defend the Star Cruiser Sheppard. Your ride home depends on your success in this, Captain. Unless that is, you can single-handedly operate a Constellation Class star cruiser. Prepare to transport:
