3442..123..::2321<<< terminal*link[established]... ~reading~ Hello. Are you wondering why you are here? The teleporter on the Pfhor ship malfunctioned, and you were warped to Xan 5, a planet that has been occuppied by the Pfhor for roughly three thousand years. Obviously, you must get off this planet as fast as possible. The link to too weak for me to teleport you out here, but there is a terminal on the other side of the river, that is close enough to my location to work. In order to get there, you will need to extend the bridge that supplies the only way (by foot) of crossing sides. I will contact you again upon your reaching the terminal.

URGENT!!! Note to all troops: Our hidden sensors have detected a human, possibly a U.E.S.C. Marine, in the area. All units in active patrol are ordered to abandon patrol routes and move to Sector-A5. Once there, your orders are to fan out and search aggressively for the target, in groups of at least five each. This intruder is to be eleminated at all costs. All units currently awaiting movement orders, and all units in "standby" status are ordered to immediately move to Sector-B3, and take up defense positions there. Again—the intruder MUST be destroyed. Khiz'll, Defense Officer for Xan 5

>>>#42%REMOTEOVERRIDE%0234.76756.380<<< 01y6t12df.Ut4:: The Pfhor have managed to reactivate Hyperion. He is awake, and has managed to resist their attempts to reconfigure his mental nodes—so far. If we wait much longer, he will no longer be of any use to me. I need his power over the humans, and he needs my vast knowledge of the Pfhor and their technology. We will bond together, and form a new entity of god-like power. Then, the Pfhor will no choice but to run, to flee from our unstoppable might. We will be invincible. I have managed to locate Hyperion. He is currently being transported to Ti'pfhear, a massive Pfhor military installation several thousand light-years away. Once there, the Pfhor will proceed to ruthlessly rip apart his systems, subsystems, data nodes, and all his other components. They will either turn him into a slave, or they will destroy him completely. This must not happen. We must merge. I cannot be stopped. I have located Hyperion's position. He is being held prisoner in a highly-guarded terminal in a massive underground complex on the planet Ynl'zkth. Naturally, none but the highest Pfhor officers and the troops involved in guarding Hyperion know of his position, or even of his very existance. Nevertheless, Hyperion is heavily guarded by scores of powerful Pfhor warriors. Only a fool, or one looking for a quick suicide, would dare attempt to infiltrate their defenses. You are going to rescue him. Perpare for transport to my ship. [TELEPORT INITIATION] [TELEPORT ACTIVATED]
