This level has been overrun by intruders. Nearly everything here has been damaged, in some cases beyond repair (as far as my sensors can tell). Your job: Kill everything hostile, and bring all critical systems back online. If you fail, this station will cease to exist.

# n

This shows you where you are currently. Your first task will be to re-engage the safety interlock for the offstation teleportation controls. You will find a replacement control chip in the access drawer on the east side of the Control Room. Insert it into the interlock bay to reactivate the teleporters.

Surface sensors are no longer functional. You might be able to find a repair switch in this section. Most of the equipment, though, seems to be non-functional. Emergency backup air generators were shut down. You can power them up here. (We are functioning at about 30% currently-repairing these is critical to the survival of the station.)

# n

Once you have accomplished these tasks, I will transport you out of here.

Until you manage to reactivate the offsite teleporters, you will be trapped on this level. I'd suggest you backtrack to the teleport control room and reengage the safety interlock.

I have detected an incoming signal from the Galaxans' ship. Their onboard computer tried to access one of our communications terminals. I cut the signal off as soon as I could, but there is evidence that a partial message got through. I wasn't able to do a complete trace, but it seems to have terminated somewhere on this level. When it came through, my sensors read for a moment multiple Galaxan lifeform signals very close to your current position. Be very careful... remember, their ship is badly damaged, much of their crew has been killed, and they cannot tell the difference between you and a pirate.

There are still disabled systems that need to be made functional. I will not be able to transport you out until all systems are operational.

All critical systems are back on line. In addition, most of the intruders that had disembarked here are dead or have returned to their ship. Your job here is finished. While you were busy here, I've been working at getting the communications systems functional. So far I've been unsuccessful with the long-range equipment, but I can now send and receive signals to anything in orbit around us. I have more information about that attempted transmission from the Galaxan ship. There doesn't seem to be any central computer control on the ship - each sector is controlled by a different AI, with distributed coordination. I have been in contact with the AI in control of the forward sensor arrays. Apparently, the

# n

damage to the reactor is serious enough that if it is not shut down very soon, it will destroy the ship, this post, and everything else within half a million kilometers. Unfortunately, the AI that controls the reactor was destroyed in the pirates' attack, and there is no way to communicate with the Galaxans still in that section of the ship. Fr'kna (the sensor controlling AI) is willing to help you gain access to the ship, but you'll need to get through the outer deck, which still have both pirates and hostile Galaxans on it. Prepare for more battle. If you find any Galaxan communication terminals, I will attempt to aid Fr'kna in locking in on your suit transponder and transmitting you a message.

I will teleport you now. ***JUMP PAD ACTIVATION START*** ***TRANSPORT WHEN READY***

Good job with the teleporter activation. In the time it took you to get here, though, the pirates have disabled the station's life support systems. You'll need to bring them back up before the secondary systems fail. Remember, time is critical.
