5: When It Rains, It Pours

INCOMING MESSAGE FROM MERLIN... You have no time to waste. Morgana is closing in on the crystals, which are located north of your current position. Lodged in the rock next to the crystals is another future pod which controls a single high-frequency particle beam emitter. This emitter will create a small cave-in which will bury the crystals. The crystals, as well as the future pod, may be unreachable at the moment due to the recent shifting of the earth. Your task is to find a way to reach the crystals and activate the emitter switch.

These caverns are filled with highly sensitive regions of granite known as Earth nerves. They can trigger chain reactions of rock movements, so be careful of random cave-ins and falling rock. I have calculated the location of four strategic nerves which you can use to your advantage. Each nerve can be triggered by pushing on a nerve rock. Activating all four nerves should provoke the proper rock slides to create a climbable path to the crystals. Due to the highly unstable nature of these caverns, I cannot trigger the nerves remotely. You must locate and trigger each one manually. The current display shows the northern side of the caverns, with the first two sensitive areas highlighted in red.

This display shows the southern side of the caverns, with the other two nerve areas highlighted in red. Push all four of the nerve rocks to establish a climbable path to the crystals and emitter pod. It is extremely unsafe down here, so be very careful. The dreaded Tyrannosaurus rex has accustomed itself to these caverns. Though slower in speed, its strength is unmatched by any of the other Jurassic beasts. ** PROCEED WITH EXTREME CAUTION ** Merlin out...

INCOMING MESSAGE FROM MERLIN... Things have been very quiet on Kronos. It may be safe to send you back for ammunition and more training, but I need to investigate this further. I have not yet received any response from the reinforcements. Your task at hand is to get to the crystals as fast as you can. Morgana has discovered the general area of the crystals, but I am uncertain whether she has pinpointed their exact location yet.

Reports received from Kronos are unclear. Communications with the ship are currently cut off. I am delaying your return to Kronos until I can confirm that the ship is secure. In the meantime, we will attempt to communicate with the Grogs. I have almost completed establishing their dialect in the Universal Translator. They have been in contact with Morgana, so they may have information to share with us.
