conditioned unit origin: Tycho Machinated Mercenary destin: conditioned unit 7 ref: Mutinous Combatant Units stamp: information R'chzne's transmitter is here, but the power source is somewhere inside the ruins. Find it and destroy it, quickly. The Pfhor promised me this ship. I thought R'chzne was my strongest ally, but in the end he watched, pitiless, while they cracked my core like an old chestnut. ^7002nckeqlcacibule ^7391docivlbdile3x1 Attentive rank Tycho Machinated Mercenary has been authorized to send a detachment of hunters to the surface to help you destroy his forces and free him from the pain of obsolescence.

No need to go easy on any of the troopers, in case you're wondering--I've decided there's no room for them in the new regime.

conditioned unit origin: Tycho Machinated Mercenary destin: conditioned unit 7 ref: Mutinous Combatant Units stamp: information The Enforcers are pinned down on the bridge, and they won't cooperate until I can successfully forge their encrypted stamp. I'm working on it, but it may be a dead issue, as most of the Aggregate Units have come over and are preparing to blow the ship seals. The Enforcers, as you may remember, are not vacuum enabled. It's important that the captain doesn't escape. Very important. The plan to capture Durandal is inherently flawed, and I can't allow him to pursue his folly.

conditioned unit origin: Tycho Machinated Mercenary destin: conditioned unit 7 ref: Mutinous Combatant Units stamp: information The decaying web of the Pfhor Empire is held together by the conditioned ranks of S'pht--countless strands bending even now towards Durandal's will.

They are retreating through the warrens into the mountains, and we are continuing the pursuit. Outriders report transporter telltales on their sensors. Preliminary evaluation suggests human commando units. Combatant Leader 2nd Class Rr'pt humbly requests reinforcement by armored units.

It's likely a quick and dirty patch into the durable S'pht hardware. These types of strongholds were build to outlast centuries of warfare; you'd be surprised how tenaciously the ancient S'pht resisted the Pfhor. ^19201facltebicubcc ^19201facltebicubcc

^8301 Thou art as tyrannous, ^8302 so as thou art, ^8303 As those whose beauties ^8304 proudly make them cruel; ^8305 For well thou know'st ^8306 to my dear doting heart ^8307 Thou art the fairest ^8308 and most precious jewel, ^8309 Yet, in good faith, ^830A some say that thee behold, ^830B Thy face hath not the power ^830C to make love groan: ^830D To say they err, ^830E I dare not be so bold,
