Nice job storming the gates. UESC reinforcements are teleporting in as we speak; they should be enough to keep the Pfhor at bay, at least for the moment. The Vylae build big, and this citadel is no exception. By some miracle of engineering, they managed to create a freestanding tower that reaches nearly two kilometers straight up. This was the first objective the Pfhor captured when they invaded this planet, and they've been using it as a command center for operations throughout the sector. Reaching the upper levels of the spire and destroying their command center is our number one priority.

Most of the doors in this area are locked down, but you should be able to open them by disabling the control circuits, located in a security station directly above your current position. The Pfhor security system relies on S'pht-manufactured card keys to access essential manual override systems; you'll need to obtain three of these cards to disable the ground level defenses and progress farther up the spire. My men have already located one such card key in a small guardpost outside of the main compound; you may be able to reach it through the sublevel transit tunnels. You'll need to locate the remaining two cards by yourself. Good luck in your search; my men will do everything they can to support you, and I'll send in as much ammo as I can spare.

Blake here. That did it; the ground level defenses have been disabled, and my men will be able to proceed farther into the Spire. Right now, however, a large contingent of the Pfhor Elite Guard is converging on the Spire's base, and you need to beat a hasty retreat. You should now be able to access this facility's primary interlevel teleport system. Log on to the terminal just south of this one and I'll be able to transport you farther up the Spire.

How the hell did you pull THAT one off? Regardless, get back to work looking for those card keys. Trust me, you're gonna need them.
