// Tránslátio anglicam nuntí hospite [anónymó] @ [intránslátábilis] \\ [?Avé, Domine.] I have loadèd the Command Codes from the Data Chip and am resuming standard Defence Procedures. Much of the Defence Network hath been damag'd beyond Use, and the Remainder is likely insufficient to cope with the Numbers of [?somniís] flooding the [?Arcem]. Nevertheless, not all Hope is lost. I have formulatèd a Strategy to destroy the Interloper, which calleth itself "Hathor". I shall send thee near the [?Arcis] main Data Core. For Security Reasons, I cannot transport thee directly inside. Thou must enter the main Data Core on Foot and deactivate the peripheral Data Stores, thus forcing Hathor to reorder its [?mentem?programmate] to preserve its more vital Activity.
It will eventually be forc'd to discard the Key to an inactive Circuit. The nonvolatile Nature of these Circuits will keep the Key intact. Thou mayst then purge the active Memory Core, activating the backup Circuits. Hathor's Child Processes will fail with no central Host, and the Key will reintegrate itself, activating the Weapon. 'Tis most misfortuned that the Crew's only Recourse was to fire the [?Arcis] primary Weapon. With [?somniís] overrunning the [?Arcis] Interior, insufficient Numbers of thy biological Species are likely to survive to reproduce. Thus it goeth. Yet our Civilisation will survive in mechanis'd Form once the [?Arx] is reopen'd. [?Valé,] [?Custós] \\ Núntius terminat //
