Attention all UESC units. Attention special operations team Sigma. This is Lieutenant Marisol Lee. Command has issued a priority alert to forces within the alien ship. Be advised that Pfhor shock troops have breached our perimeter and are expected to assault the mainframe complex at any moment. Our fusion units are reporting heavy losses. All squads, fall back to the mainframe chamber and cover all access points; we're gonna have company soon. Lee out.
//Uncertain source //Interrupt rerouted... //Recieving... Attention all surviving members of special operations team Sigma, this is Lieutenant Marisol Lee. Critical systems of the alien ship are reactivating at random, and we're detecting massive fluctuations from the main power buses. Evacuate the mainframe immediately and get to the upper levels. We're beaming out.
My intuition was, of course, correct: the mainframe complex lies at the center of this annular structure. I've nearly breached the mainframe's countermeasures, but there's a physical interlock system preventing me from getting to big prize. I'll need someone with opposable thumbs to finish the job. A number of UESC fusion troopers are patrolling this area, and I've picked up radio chatter from a commando team that appears to have infiltrated the mainframe itself. Their transmissions are spotty and panicked; they are likely experiencing a brutal counterattack by what's left of the Pfhor elite guard. If you get to the mainframe in time, they will provide cover while you reset the six override switches.
<Transmission error> //Warning: possible data corrup#[21~~ Something has gone terribly, terribly wrong. The entire ship is lighting up like a Christmas tree, and the encryption algorithms I'm trying to crack are now orders of magnitude more complex. Whatever you did inside that mainframe released a prodigiously unstable AI construct into the ship's network. What's worse, I think it just might be Leel&~@67
