Level 4-a Section 8 Public Access Terminal <102.21.97.21>.

There was serious damage to our power generation control systems on the far end of the outpost. It is user repairable, but my servo systems are down, so you will have to open the safety doors manually. The teleport terminal in that section is controlled by the same subsystem, and the targeting scanners were damaged in the attack. The residual radiation in your current area makes it impossible for me to get a lock on you. You'll have to fight your way to the Emergency Evacuation Airlock and get outside the station. Once there, I'll teleport you out.

This is where you are now. You'll have to find some additional weapons and ammunition on your way, as the area is heavily infested. The station crew has captured a pair of the pirates and is interrogating them in the Cryogenics Lab. Hopefully, we may learn something before they are killed.

On the left is the Cryogenics Lab where the prisoners are being held. The location on the right shows a pattern buffer. Power in this area is very unstable, so patterns may suffer from Dither Degeneration. Don't rely on them too much.

The airlock you must get to is here. Once outside, contact me using the emergency transmitting station and I will attempt to teleport you out... One last tip: if you get lost, just follow the trail of blood.

Emergency Communications Terminal a-01 <198.80.0.6>

I will attempt to teleport you to the other side of the outpost where the primary power facility is located. Check at a public terminal there and I'll give you further instructions. Even with you outside the station, the teleporter is still having difficulties obtaining a lock. If there is a problem, and you don't make it in one piece, I want to thank you for your efforts. I will attempt to teleport you now. *JUMP PAD ACTIVATION START* ***TRANSPORT WHEN READY***
