***Remote Uplink Connected*** Blake here. Well, this is a surprise. I thought that we'd parted ways for good after we left you on Lh'owon. I guess Durandal came through for you after all. Welcome to Ckuidt'kqe, the industrial epicenter of the Vylae homeworld. The Pfhor captured this planet sixteen months ago, and they've been using it as a stepping stone for offensives into UESC-controlled space ever since. My men and I were recruited by the UESC to lead a counter-offensive, seeing as we're the only humans with any real experience fighting the Pfhor.

The initial stage of the operation was a great success: we blew through a few Pfhor corvettes and went to work bombarding their defensive positions from orbit. Our landing did not go as smoothly, mainly because the Pfhor garrison is about three times larger than UESC intelligence estimated. We've had to turn to infiltration tactics; obviously, having you materialize in the sewers less than a kilometer from the central Pfhor citadel is a tremendous stroke of luck. //Downloading Map Information...
