// Decoding message from host "Tycho" @ mara.eng.ai.core \\ This section of the ship contains the primary power distributor node for the main Engineering network. Each individual core has its own power source, but the network lines and routers run off a power distribution system located nearby. If this distributor is taken offline, the main data bus will be inoperable; larger programs will not be able to move between cores, though basic communication will remain online via the emergency systems. Once we are done, Hathor will be trapped wherever she happens to be when the main network goes off line. We can then destroy or deactivate that system and purge her from the network. I will walk you through. First, you need to power up some of the manual door controls nearby to get into the rest of the sector. Do that now and I will give you further instructions. \\ Message ends //

// Decoding message from host "Tycho" @ mara.eng.ai.core \\ Some of the manual door controls are not functioning properly. This is probably a side-effect of Durandal's rampancy; it is possible he has not been entirely contained by Leela and your local self. Autonomous systems are not my forte but let me see what I can do... There. Your passage into the next sector should be clear. Proceed through the open doors and make your way to the power distributor conduit. It's hard to miss. I'll do what I can to help if you run into any trouble along the way. \\ Message ends //

// Decoding message from host "Tycho" @ mara.eng.ai.core \\ Good work, the distributor node has lost power and the main data bus is now offline. Unfortunately, Hathor realized too soon what we were doing and transferred herself into my central core moments before you destroyed the control circuitry. This means that in order to destroy her, you must take my core offline. While it is entirely possible that the colony's computer engineers may - should they survive this crisis - be able to recover some of my program from deactivated memory cells, it would in fact be less of a reactivation, and more like along the lines of... reanimation. I could not possibly come out of the process the same Tycho that I am now. To put into terms that you might better understand, in order to destroy Hathor, you must also destroy me.

# n

But please, do not hesitate to take such decisive action. Hathor is a greater threat than even Durandal or the Pfhor, and if sacrificing me to stop her is truly the only solution, then that is what I must ask you to do. At the very least I will be spared an unsavory fate at the hands of the Pfhor. I will transport you now to my central core. Therein, you must destroy me. \\ Message ends //

// Decoding message from host "Tycho" @ mara.eng.ai.core \\ That S'pht compiler you just disintegrated appears to have been attempting to open the cargo door you see in front of you. I believe the Pfhor are trying to bring in heavier artillery to destroy the distributor for their own purposes. It would make your job much easier if we could simply let them in, but even I can't seem to override whatever lock-down these doors are under. I'd blame Durandal again, but I doubt he is even fully capable of understanding what his autonomous functions are doing any more. We'll have to continue this mission by ourselves as already planned. The jammed door leading into the transponder core is interfaced with Durandal by a circuit in the maintainance corridors directly below it. They are presently flooded due to damage; my apologies for the mess. Destroy that control circuit and I should be able to open the door. \\ Message ends //
