Communication Uplink Active Origin: J’raxis (270145) Destination: Operative 001 Yes, I told you that you were done. Well, I lied. Meh. Actually, I had planned on letting you go after you helped Operative 271. But, as 271 was teleporting back up to the ship, his signal was intercepted by the Pfhor still in the treatment complex and redirected back planetside. You have to free him.

Communication Uplink Active Origin: J’raxis (270145) Destination: Operative 001 Find him; he should be nearby. Again, there will be heavy resistance, but you should be able to blast your way through it. Once you find a heavy door that must be opened with a switch, you’ve found him. He is in the containment cell behind it, plus a couple of guards. Kill the guards; make sure he survives. He’ll be able to beam out once the guards are dead.

Communication Uplink Active Origin: J’raxis (270145) Destination: Operative 001 Many doors are locked again. Duh, you’re in the same complex. Once you get Operative 271 to safety, stumble around killing as much as you can until you find your way out. The large sewage reservoir west of here will be heavily guarded, but I’m sending down some S’pht’Kr Defenders I’ve captured to help with the “cleaning.”

Communication Uplink Active Origin: J’raxis (270145) Destination: Operative 001 Be careful, there are a lot of traps —— teleporters teleporting into oblivion, crushing floors, rooms with doors that trap you. The crushing floors are dangerous, but can be put to use squishing Pfhor like so many bugs. So watch out. Hope you got the missile launcher I beamed down to the complex; you’ll really need it here.

Communication Uplink Active Origin: J’raxis (270145) Destination: Operative 001 Both Durandal and Tycho have found out where you’ve gone. Durandal’s ship is far away, but closing fast. Tycho, on the other hand, is nearby (I’m currently engaged in a messy little battle with his fleet). Look out, he’s not trying to “rescue” you like Durandal, he wants you dead. Once you find a room with two terminals, you’re ready to go. Go to the one on the right and I’ll teleport you out. Now go!

Make sure that Infiltrator “Killer” does not get to the cell and free Infiltrator “Saboteur.” We must learn of J’raxis’ plans.

Communication Uplink Active Origin: J’raxis (270145) Destination: Operative 001 Your mission is to rescue Operative 271. Come back when you have done this.

Beta Aurigæ III W.R.C. Origin: Durandal 1707 Destination: Conditioned Unit 7 Ref: J’raxis Treachery I see you got my message (or you hadn’t and just don’t know your right from your left.) You have to know this: You have been working for an A.I. that wishes to destroy me, and you once he was finished using you. If you had gone to the other terminal, you’d be floating around in orbit right now.

Beta Aurigæ III W.R.C. Origin: Durandal 1707 Destination: Conditioned Unit 7 Ref: J’raxis Treachery At least you didn’t complete the mission for J’raxis. You caused me a lot of problems, but I have bigger things to worry about right now —— J’raxis himself. That idiot J’raxis has fled now, and my fighters are on his tail. We’ll have him soon enough.

Beta Aurigæ III W.R.C. Origin: Durandal 1707 Destination: Conditioned Unit 7 Ref: J’raxis Treachery J’raxis’ ruse was pretty good —— I use Pfhor workers on this planet, so you couldn’t tell if they were enemies or not. The Pfhor communiqués that they use look the same as the enemy Pfhor’s. And the humans he captured and planted. Now get back up here and you can start fixing what you just did.
