8: Vessel in the Depths

468.secyre.battle.iii Origin: AI-4378 autoinfilU <Balapoel> Destin: sƒ x-122 infilU 'Cmdr Tethys' ref: 139-c br'sai stamp: driver mishap Com:_____________________________securefeed::::: Welcome back. The br'sai has crippled our main deflector array. However, I have succeeded in rendering most of the Pfhor intrafleet communications inoperative (knowledge of trends in Pfhor naval technology is somewhat useful). We must transfer to the br'sai. We are now positioned 190 meters above and 40 meters astern of the ship. I have downloaded myself into a subprocessor data storage device and I've taken the liberty of implanting it behind your ear. If it itches, there is some glanding ointment in this ship's medical bay. We need to convince the rest of the Pfhor fleet to leave this system, and the only way to do that is to arm the thermal drivers. Don't worry, we won't really arm or detonate them, I will just upload a virus to make the br'sai's AI think that they are in an auto-destruct mode. If this works, the Pfhor will leave as fast as their destroyers and interceptors can go. The drivers are located on deck 1, near the gun ports. They aren't directly attached to the vessel, so you will probably have to enter through an air lock. When you have finished detaching their safeties, access the bridge computer and I will download myself into the navigational mainframe there. This is a much heavier armed ship than the silekh, though the outward appearance is similar. Be careful. termfeed:__________________________________::::
