***INCOMING MESSAGE FROM LEELA** I should be more lucid now, and apologize for my earlier rambling. Durandal’s meddling has run its course and I have returned to normalcy. Neither he nor the S’pht infiltrators ever discovered my real location in the core, and though they destroyed nearly all of my child processes, I myself am unharmed. Our most pressing concern is for the ship and her crew, but I feel compelled to share with you that Durandal has left the ship. I can find him nowhere on our network, and traffic logs over the last half hour show sixty-four billion exobytes transferred off of and deleted from the Marathon. I am only beginning to understand his motives for assisting us against the Pfhor, and am terrified by their implications. There is one last major incursion, and I feel the Pfhor are breaking. I will take you there. We must persevere. *** PREPARE FOR TRANSPORT *** ***END MESSAGE*** ***JUMP PAD ACTIVATION INITIATION START*** ***TRANSPORT WHEN READY***

*** INCOMING MESSAGE FROM BUNGIE *** Here are some cool things to try if you never figured them out: • Air Pfhor. Whenever shooting at anything with explosive munitions, aim at their feet. • Hang Time. Point down at the floor, run forwards, and launch a grenade or missile. • Flying. When in low-gravity on the alien ship, point down and use the flamethrower or the alien weapon to “fly.” • Climbing Walls. Correct application of grenades to one’s own feet while running parallel to a wall can allow players to “climb” them. • Dead Man’s Discharge. A charged fusion pistol discharges when it’s owner dies. • Nigh-Invulerability. “Invincible” players can be hurt by the fusion gun. • We Have Tone. Guided munitions can’t track invisible players. There are some other things, too, but we wouldn’t want to give away all our secrets…
