We figured the safest way was to beam you in at +10 meters. This is the next step in the Pfhor processing pipeline. It maintains a reservoir to hold excess water and maintain flow during high demand. Once again, we need to find a way to the next facility, though we have a pretty good guess already. It's probably in the building behind you, but we don't know the internal layout. What we do know is that there are at least 2 tunnel systems underneath your current location. Report to the second floor of the western building for extraction once you find the information.

It is critical that you continue moving through the Pfhor system, we've already set up troop placements based on your success. Find that conduit!

Reconnaissance found the next step in the system independently. It's the distribution center for one of the Pfhor's outposts, in this case a heavy armor facility. But that's not all: It's the location we got part of from our scrambled distress signal. We haven't a clue what's waiting for you inside, so you're going the stealthy route: Through the pipe. It's a short dip, so there shouldn't be turbines or anything nasty like that. The facility's built into the side of a cliff, so try to reach a terminal that isn't too far inside the wall, and we'll take it from there.
