#PICT 7 Hello, there. Remember me? Yep, it's Rendar. When you inserted me into that door unlock mechansim, I took control of a good chunk of this wonderful computer system. You may have noticed my work lately. I saved your sorry ass, so I think you owe me a debt of gratitude. Quite ingenius, if I do say so myself. You may or may not have noticed that our friends here never seem to run out of ammo. Well, at first I theorized it was some friek accident involving a black hole and a pair of women's underwear. I tried to see if I could obtain any research equipment to test my theories, but unfortunately even the BUG(Board of Unusual Grants) thought it was a little too "out there." The nerve of them. Well, I have to admit, I may have been slightly incorrect. There is a big complex on this planet that transports ammunition and explosives to the weapons whenever the troopers' ammo runs low, coincidentally codenamed "The Black Hole." I have yet to figure out how the women's underwear works into he grand scheme of things, but I'm still working on it. Back to the point, after I found this bit of information out, I managed to "update" the programming ever-so slightly so the secret complex would beam 100 rounds of grenades to the guns every time the unsuspecting trooper pressed the trigger. Obviously, the guns can't hold that much ammo, or they wouldn't need the secret complex, so what wouldn't fit would spill out of the barrel at the feet of the trooper. Quite ingenius, I must say. Okay, here's the game plan. We need to find some kind of transport off the planet. I'm going to beam you into the docking bay. From there, I have already secured a ship to meet you. When it arrives, you need to get aboard it and activate the controls. Then, I'll be able to transfer myself to the ship's central data bank and totally wipe out the old AI. Afterwards, we'll be home free. The only catch is the massive number of troops that have realized that you're going to try to head for the docking bay and are currently waiting for you there. Of course, I planned for this. When you arrive, you'll be visited by two rather large robots. Don't shoot them for two reasons. One, they're on your side and two, you wouldn't be able to hurt them anyway. They're a secret experiment that no one's supposed to know about and that I managed to steal. It's amazing what you can do from inside a computer terminal. Their weapons have been programmed not to hurt you don't worry about friendly fire. Have fun and oh yeah.......

Good Luck O O \___/
