Communication Uplink Active Origin: J’raxis (270145) Destination: Operative 001 Well, I see you’ve arrived safely at Beta Aurigæ III’s waste reclamation center, Operative 001. Hope you enjoyed your vacation, “working” with Durandal and Tycho and all of those idiots. Now, you’re working for me, J’raxis. I’m guessing you have no idea who I am. J’raxis? So, you’re asking, who am I? Well, you’ll get no answer now. Maybe when (if) you get out of here alive...

Communication Uplink Active Origin: J’raxis (270145) Destination: Operative 001 Your mission (well, this part of it) is to clean out all the guards in this section of the complex. Be warned that there are quite a few, and that the humans that you will encounter are not on your side, but are captured POWs, most of whom have been assimilated by the Pfhor and are carrying bombs. There is only one way out, and you must find your way to it. Kill almost everything along your way.

Communication Uplink Active Origin: J’raxis (270145) Destination: Operative 001 There is also a large weapons cache in a small room south of here. There are plenty of clips for your Magnum and assault rifle. There are pattern buffers and shield rechargers around the complex. The complex is locked down tight because of you, but I have been able to remotely override their security so enough doors are working to let you out. What’d you expect? —— You’re attacking them, don’t expect them to invite you in.

Communication Uplink Active Origin: J’raxis (270145) Destination: Operative 001 Speaking of weapons, I have improved those puny “weapons” that that idiot Durandal gives you to use on his “missions.” Your Magnum pistol fires underwater (um, sewage) now. Nice way to clean out a tankful of F’licktas. The Assault Rifle is much more accurate, as accurate as the Submachine Gun.

Communication Uplink Active Origin: J’raxis (270145) Destination: Operative 001 And finally, the Fusion gun fires S’pht (Compiler) energy orbs. You’ll get this weapon later. These things don’t do much damage, but they sure pack a powerful impact. Think of this: A bunch of Pfhor precariously perched on a gangway next to a sewage tank full of hungy, pfhorivorous F’licktas. You sneak up on them, armed with the S’pht-ized Fusion gun and...

Communication Uplink Active Origin: J’raxis (270145) Destination: Operative 001 Why am I improving your guns, you ask? Well, as soon as you start your work, you’ll see you’re going to need them... Why are you working for me, you ask? Well, I told you that you aren’t getting any answers from me yet, and if you keep asking and don’t get to work, you’re gonna be floatin’ in space soon. So go. Good luck.

Communication Uplink Active Origin: J’raxis (270145) Destination: Operative 001 What are you doing back here, Operative 001?! This is what Durandal hired? Some idiot who can’t even find his way around a giant alien toiletbowl!? You’re not impressing me! Get to the exit terminal or I’ll beam you out into space!

Tycho Communiqué Origin: Tycho Destination: J’raxis Operative Working for Durandal saving those pathetic humans was enough, now your working for this rampant A.I. wannabe J’raxis!? I’m not putting up with you anymore. You’ll pay this time. Sayonara, sucker!

Communication Uplink Active Origin: J’raxis (270145) Destination: Operative 001 You have to kill more bugs than that to prove your usefulness to me. Now get back to work! Did you check for F’licktas in the sewage tanks, or hiding ticks (you know, those flying sacs of insect-pus)?

Communication Uplink Active Origin: J’raxis (270145) Destination: Operative 001 I see why you’re so useful to Durandal. That wasn’t too hard, eh? I’m teleporting you over to another portion of the waste reclamation complex for you to help another operative of mine. We have to sabotage the complex’s power system. If you keep up the good work, I might just keep you working for me...
