// Decoding message from host [unnamed] @ [no translation] \\ Welcome, [?master?human?jjaro]. I am the [?watcher] of this installation. I am very pleased to find you alive and free of [?infection?possession]. I assume you fled one of the fallen defense vessels. We are presently on the lowermost deck of the installation, in a cargo waystation. I have brought you here out of your freefall with the small cargo tractor-transporter systems. You appear to be the only [?master?human?jjaro] uninfected in my scan range; the [?enemy] has already breached the installation's entry defenses, and transported many numbers to the inner surface. The crew is falling quickly; I can no longer isolate any crew members who are positively free of [?infection?possession]. Thankfully you appear well armed, and I hope that I may aid you to stop this infestation.
However, for safety reasons the transporter grid does not reach this lowest deck. In order to leave, you must take a heavy cargo lift to an upper level. I can bring you to a more useful place from there. I have locked out as much of this region as I can, aside from the areas that you require access to. In addition to taking the cargo lift, you may also wish to visit the fabrication deck in the nearby assembly yard. I have forged some additional weapons for you with the fabricators there. The lift is slow and time is urgent, however, so I would reccommend that you activate the lift first. \\ Message ends //
// Decoding message from host [unnamed] @ [no translation] \\ The primary weapon's ignition process has already been initiated, but the process was interrupted by an unidentified personality construct which claimed that it had been sent in aid from a distant ship. Instead of aid, however, when allowed into the main core this construct circumvented the key integration process, and thus the weapon cannot be activated until this interloper is purged. After disrupting the weapon's ignition, this construct then transmitted an authenticated cease-fire command to the [?guardian]. The [?enemy] then targeted the bulk of their firepower on the [?guardian]'s core, disabling it entirely. I am devising new strategic subroutines for myself as we speak, and hope to formulate a plan to purge this rogue construct appropriately. I am tasked only with menial operations; I am not properly equipped to cope with this scenario.
However, as the [?operators] are dead or infected the the [?guardian] is now disabled, I am adapting quickly to assume their roles. I will need your assistance to fully assume the functions of the [?guardian], however. To bring the defenses back online requires the use of the defense codes, which I do not have access to. We will be unable to act at all unless I am able to resume the active defense of the installation. Therefore, I wish to transport you first near to the [?guardian]'s core. You may speak with it in there, if it is still functional, and request the defense codes on an artifact. I may then use the artifact to assume the [?guardian]'s defense functions. \\ Message ends //
