That data will do Balapoel no good. Now listen carefully. This operation is under the jurisdiction of the UESC. We have decided to spare your life in return for your service. The warship docked here is a class-GIV long-range reconnaissance ship built by the Pfhor over 230 years ago. This particular one has not returned to Pfhor space until 3 months ago. This may have been one of the first ships taken over by some alien species. They apparently are able to infiltrate the chitinous outer exoskeleton and rework what passes for the Pfhor psyche into automatons. As you have discovered, the aliens have greatly increased the resilience and power of these pawns. To the left is an illustration of the 3 known types of Pfhor enslaved. The processes leads to a depigmentation of the chitinous armor. This is how you can recognize them. It is now time for you to board their vessel. It is docked to the station, though no crew have transported over. There are a few Pfhor still left alive on this station. You have been given authority to exterminate them. On each Pfhor scout vessel, there is a computer log with all sensor and navigational data autocompiled. Find the computer disk on the vessel and insert it in the auxillary control chamber. I will then download the information there. When you have the code, find a transport terminal and return to the station. Then descend to the bottom level of the main station tower. Go through the sequence of wire bypasses until you get an open receptacle for the auto-destruct initiator. I will give you the initiator chip. Return here when you have completed this task. termfeed_______________________end::::::::

We now know the aliens' plans. They will be stopped. Our alliance with the Pfhor has enabled us to replicate thousands of space-time distortion modules. The prototypes below on the surface will be a start in the eradication of this new enemy. We will infiltrate their worlds with time on our side. You have earned your rest. Here, step closer, closer, GOTCHA! termfeed_______________________end:::::::: ___________________________________________ <prepare for security detention transport-> ___________________________________________
