42: The Dead Live In The Catacombs

// Decoding message from host [unnamed] @ [no translation] \\ The transporter grid has been damaged in this sector due to [?enemy] attacks, so I cannot transport you directly to a node within the [?guardian]'s network. Therefore you must enter the [?guardian]'s complex on foot. Speak with [?him?it] and request the defense codes on an [?artifact] so that I may assume [?his?its] functions. Return here when you have the codes and I will aid you further. \\ Message ends //

// Decoding message from host [unnamed] @ [no translation] \\ welcome, [?master]. i am the [?guardian] of this installation. my apologies for the brevity of this message; my [?mind?program] is severely damaged and failing by the minute. this node is the only remaining functional portion of my core facility. i have [?fabricated] a systems interface artifact for you at a location near the periphery of my facility, where some systems are still functional. on it you will find a copy of the installation's defense codes. you may bring the artifact to the [?watcher]. [?he?it] may be able to make use of the codes to assume some of my [?functions?duties]. i cannot aid you further. farewell. \\ Message ends //
