Thank you for answering my call. My name is Merlin, and I am the primary AI for Club Med Antares. The situation here is grim. Four days ago, we were attacked without warning by a starship of unknown type. The beings aboard do not appear anywhere in my databanks. They killed nearly all humans they could find, and destroyed most of my sensor arrays. Strangely, they left my communications gear alone... Since I have no functional external sensors, I cannot tell whether you will receive help from other humans in your mission here. We must assume that you will not.
This is where you are now. The rechargers in the corridor behind you are still working, so use them now if necessary. I will be forced to deactivate them at the first sign of alien lifeforms in this area.
There used to be an emergency weapons cache at this location. There might be something left that the defending civilians didn't have a chance to use.
Work your way to this location. While you are doing that, I will attempt to discern what pathways are available to get you out of this maintenance level. Be sure to safeguard the lives of any humans you come across along the way - I feel you will need them to aid you in the areas I am no longer capable of reaching.
I'm having some luck recalibrating undamaged heat sensors to a more general use, using you as a test signal. However, the readings are not consistent enough to be able to extrapolate to the sensors that haven't registered you yet... I will need you to map out this maintenance level on foot, so that I can fully recalibrate all remaining sensors. I think that most of the interfaces used at Club Med Antares are present here on this maintenance level, so this task will enable me to determine what is going on in other parts of this planetoid.
I've had continued success recalibrating the heat sensors in the region you have passed through for general purpose use. However, there are several more arrays in areas you have not reached yet. You must explore this level thoroughly in order to ensure that all sensor arrays are converted. I have detected bulkhead breaches in several other areas of the resort. In many of these cases, it is impossible for me to close auxiliary bulkheads to prevent the spread of the aliens to other areas of the planetoid.
You will need to get to the release mechanism for the nearby science officer's cell. Once you have done this, he can use the maintenance tunnels to get to the transporter at the top of this maintenance level. If you are successful, he can activate the auxiliary bulkheads for you. If you are not, return to this terminal, and I will attempt to find a location to transport you out of here from, but I will not be able to guarantee that your destination is clear of intruders.
You have done well. The civilian has used maintenance tunnels to reach the the top of the level where he is activating the auxiliary bulkheads. Meet him there and I will teleport both of you from this area.
Good work. The sensors in this area are fully active and the science officer has secured the auxiliary bulkheads. I am teleporting you to your next mission now.
You should never have come back here. If you followed directions, you would have encountered a teleport terminal that I've ascertained is relatively safe - the resistance at the other end would have been light. From here, you must take your chances...
I'm sending you to the recreation level of the resort. You'll need to clear it of aliens, so that I have a safe haven for any humans found along the way. Beware - the maintenance tunnels have flooded, and sensors detect activity.
