Origin: J’raxis 270145 Destination: Durandal Operative As I downloaded myself into K’Seth’T’Mob’Re’s old personality cells, I discovered partial remnants of data in them. I would like to know what this data was, as I believe I could use it. When the Pfhor invasion began, the S’pht’Hra believed that it was absolutely necessary to preserve the programming of their K’Seth’T’Mob’Re AI, and so they hastily built several computational data storage nodes deep underground and copied only the essential data files of the AI into it.

Origin: J’raxis 270145 Destination: Durandal Operative I do not know how many nodes there are down here, or how many still work, but be sure to read them all so I can get all the data. The Pfhor have released a number of their cyborg slaves down here, so don’t think this is going to be an easy mission. Once you finish, I have no further use of you. I will return you to the Pfhor prison cell (the bugs have fixed the damage you and I caused) so your BoBs can find you. Have fun.

You won’t be talking to him again anytime soon, worm, as you are about to go on a “new” mission. The Pfhor may be incompetent bugs, but they sure do build some nice little weapons. Have you ever fought the beasties that Durandal referred to as “Juggernauts”? A now-enslaved species had called them the “big floaty things what kicks our asses.”

Private Transmission Origin: Tycho Machinated Mercenary Destin: J’raxis Operative Ref: Termination Stamp: Let me enlighten you, if you’re unfamiliar with them: You meet one. You die. It’s that simple. Now, you’re about to meet quite a few of them. I have a whole Juggernaut armada ready and waiting to make your acquaintance in the Lo’q’sclth valley, near the S’pht Citadel of Antiquity. You’ll meet them, then you’ll die.

Origin: J’raxis 270145 Destination: Durandal Operative They’re all vying for my affections now. That BoB commander, Blake, is begging me for help in his losing battle with the Pfhor as they lay seige to his base camp. Your old nemesis Tycho is asking me to ally myself with him because he knows of, and fears, my plans to topple the Pfhor Empire if I ever escape from this planet. What fun to listen to them.

Origin: J’raxis 270145 Destination: Durandal Operative You must be wondering why I have a troupe of BoBs trapped down here. The answer is simple: I need them. I plan on escaping from this planet, somehow, and I will need soldiers like you. I will convert the humans I have here into superior killing machines, cyborgs designed as you are. I will be invincible. Give Bobby Blake my apologies.

CONFESSIONS OF A EURKHER By Jeremy J. Olson I eurkh. I pleurkh. I gleurkh. I then schpleurkh. I eurkh and I pleurkh, and I might even gleurkh or schpleurkh if I need to. That’s right, I schpleurkh. I eurkh all the time, I pleurkh a lot too, I gleurkh with some frequency, and I do even schpleurkh when the opportunity arises. Sometimes when I’m eurkhing I suddenly start schpleurkhing without even realizing it. I eurkh a lot. I’m gleurkhing right now, but I eurkh most of the time. I’m quite the eurkher, you should know. I’m just a eurkhish pleurkher... That’s eurkheriffic!!
