X-nil 37.9@cjl1//vck3

X-nil 37.9@cjl1//vck3 I’ve discovered an area where the Pfhor’s communication lines are exposed and have coded a virus to attack their defense programs through this weakness. The attack will be aimed at subverting the Pfhor’s defense probes, which are controlled remotely by a central computer, and turning them against the Pfhor. This area is used by the Pfhor as a temple in their pathetically boring religion. Maybe they think that sanctity will protect it.

X-nil 37.9@cjl1//vck3 I will teleport the virus package onto the main altar in the temple. You will retrieve the instrument of their demise from there and insert it into the underwater control panel I have marked on the map at left. After you arrive, the Pfhor will likely close the doors to the temple. You should be able to open them by destroying their power supply, which is located behind a door in a nearby grotto. You’ll probably have to do some swimming to get there. My virus isn’t very selective, and will likely disable this terminal soon after you install it. There is another terminal in the temple; I’ll try to contact you there.

The virus is working as planned, and I have successfully assumed control of the Pfhor’s defense probes. The berserk drones are causing great panic among the remaining Pfhor defenders. We must press the attack before they recover.
