Congratulations, you've eluded Cyle yet again. That was a close one last time, but we managed to eliminate his threat at the last second and teleport you out. Right now we've teleported you to an old S'pht Temple on Lh'owon, its currently occupied by Pfhor Scientists. What they're doing is what we'd like to know. You have been teleported down to the catacolms below the temple itself. Make your way through there then take an elevator shaft, northwest of your current position, to the temple itself. Explore the temple and destroy any opposition you run into. Good luck.

Where are you? Cyle is going insane. This must be another phase of his rampancy. Watch your back, I really don't want to see you die, but I also don't want you to become what Cyle is going to make you into. Run.

It seems that the Pfhor are working on a more advanced teleportation system, and holobots and holoments. Holobots are holographic drones, which can be disguised as whatever they like, and when combined with force fields, they can kill as well. Holoments are holographic environments, digitally created areas. It seems they have two working, one is malfunctioning though. There is a terminal located in one of them, go down this hall and into the teleporter. They'll try to get you away from where you want to go so there might be more than one route.

Leela has spoken to you, hasn't she? Theres no time for this. The Pfhor are moving quickly, soon you will be either captured or killed by them. Your only choice to live is to come with me. Whether you like it or not, I will get you.

You have found the correct terminal, but the temple has not been explored to our expectations. Come back when that objective has been completed.

Cyl(%*$#%cepting*$your signa65#$@ Oh how humans annoy me. I told you I'd get you back. Now my plans are complete... I have caught you in the USEC Ship's teleporter buffer. I have intercepted and downloaded it into my matrix. It seems I can't reconfigure my ship's systems to rematerialize you. Luckily, this has accelerated the process I was intending to apply to you. Soon you and I will be the same. You will be eternal... like myself, Leela, Durandal, and Tycho. One big happy family. Too bad Durandal and Tycho aren't around to see this. Durandal would be fascinated. When you wake up... the universe will change... not only for you, but the universe won't be the same with us as their Eternals. Leela cries as I send this... I should delete her emotion subroutines. I'm not sure what'll happen when the process is complete, just don't do anything foolish.
