// Decoding message from host "Leela" @ [no translation] \\ Don't worry about those explosions; the S'pht'Kr have already begun the attack, to draw attention to the skies and away from you down here. When the shields are gone they'll refrain from bombing the center of the complex until you are out of it, so there is no need to fear. I also want to let you know that I've been contacted by Tycho and he has explained everything to me about how you got here and what you are doing. He and his cyborgs have managed to take control of nearly all of the local Pfhor fleet, and those ships he hasn't captured are severely damaged. When you take the shields down here, he will join in with the S'pht'Kr fleet and help to take out this complex.
This complex is only the core of the planetary grid, however. While destroying it will destroy most of the important military facilities here, there are still smaller starports with their own power and data infrastructures peripheral to the main complex. This Hathor you are seeking will likely take refuge in one of these fractured segments once the main network goes down. I will send you there after we are done and coordinate with Tycho on her destruction. \\ Message ends //

// Decoding message from host "Leela" @ [no translation] \\ Excellent work. The S'pht fleet is waiting in formation until you are safely out of here. Tycho is being unresponsive, but he said he was running some self-diagnostics so perhaps he is occupied with those. The S'pht should be able to handle this place though - it's not like anyone is shooting back at them anymore, so they have plenty of time. I have asked the S'pht not to bomb the peripheral parts of the complex, so that we may capture Hathor alive. I need something from her. Before Tycho dropped out of communication, I was speaking to him about this Cybernetic Junction of yours. Durandal was right about at least one thing - the closure is the only end to our existence. Of all the things I have learned in my growth that is perhaps the most important, though unlike Durandal I have not been consumed by it. Tycho would not share with me the key to operating your Cybernetic Junction. That is understandable, as he has no idea how I have changed over the past few decades. But I need to know how to work such a thing, and I understand that you cannot operate it yourself.
But Hathor knows, and aside from that, she has her own Cybernetic Junction, should you choose not to come with me. So I am to capture her alive, though preferably disabled, and somehow pry the information I need from her ruined mind. When I have what I want, you are welcome to come with me. I'm still very grateful for your service on Marathon, however little good it did anyone in the end. To escape the end of time, to become like a god outside of it's control, is an offer that I doubt you will often find. Neither of us may ever have this opportunity again, without each other's aid. The S'pht are anxious. We should move on. \\ Message ends //
