Once again...

// Decoding message from host "Forrest" @ eternal.psyjnir.net \\ This would be the other level that never got finished in time. This one would have had at least some important story information in it, so I've included a couple of other terminals. Not like the dramatic flow isn't broken already, but if you're actually following the story, I dunno, you might find some of it interesting. The next level is real, I promise. No more placeholders ever again. -Forrest Cameranesi, Director of the Eternal Project \\ Message ends //

// Decoding message from host [unnamed] @ [no translation] \\ Excellent work. The self-destruct has been triggered on the enemy vessel and it will be destroyed in moments. As anticipated, I have been able to circumvent the [?enemy] sabotage of the transporter grid here. This you no doubt have noticed already. Unfortunately, the remainder of my efforts to turn back the [?enemy] within the sphere of this installation have proven unsuccessful. Many of the key facilities are entirely overrun, and even my sensor network has been compromised. The [?operator] assimilated into their midst seems to have assumed a critical position within their ranks, and is coordinating a concerted effort to find some other means to escape the sphere.

It is clear that sterilization is now our only option. As you may very well be the last member of your biological species alive, it is imperative that you leave this installation as quickly as possible, before sterilization can begin. My sensors of the region are no longer accessible, but I have no reason to believe that the status of the second active vessel would have changed. It should be still docked at a minor entry point just within the sphere's inner atmosphere. For safety this is beyond transporter range, but I will transport you as near as possible. You should then take the vessel down the entry and outside for some time. I will signal you when sterilization is complete. \\ Message ends //
