remote.feed.open origin: orbital transmit destin: secondary supervising monitor ref: mission stamp: briefing Good, you're in. We had some trouble getting this display to accept our transmissions. This station, as far as we can tell, is part of a Pfhor sewage treatment plant. The city just dumps its waste in the swamp, then it's filtered here, pumped back up, and dumped down again. Stupid bugs. Anyway, the least secure entrance to a Pfhor base is always its water system. There must be a record of where the slime goes for the next stage; find it and we'll move you along. Also, we're working on some photos we took from the dropship, as soon as we get something ourselves we'll inform you. The nearest teleport beacon we get is across the large room behind you, but it's several meters off the floor. Why it's up there we'll never know, but find a way to reach it.

remote.feed.open origin: orbital transmit destin: emergency evacuation control ref: mission stamp: briefing That maintenance report was the key. We managed to trace the "primary tunnel" before they turned the beacons off. The final beacon corresponds to a structure we sighted on the way down. We can't get a precise destination - there's too much tunneling near the surface - but we probably won't beam you into a rock. { external override removed } { emergency teleporter activated } { destination remote override exists }
