9: Hyper-Cerebral Electrosis

Initial Briefing origin: prisoner.core destin: Initial Briefing ref: jailbreak/prison riot stamp: briefing As you can see, I've had plenty of time to familiarize myself with the local network. But every remote-controlled way out of this place has been cut off, which is why I needed you. This place is an old warehouse, a storage facility. All it has is a low-maintenance power supply, a little-used transmitter, and plenty of unused space. Which made it a perfect place to put my prison. There are no Pfhor within the base perimeter; the Commander must not know you're here yet. But he will, very soon. His sensors are everywhere.

Initial Briefing origin: prisoner.core destin: Initial Briefing ref: jailbreak/prison riot stamp: briefing We only have a few minutes before he smells a rat, so you must work quickly. I will load myself onto the carrier I was brought here on. You will retrieve that from my containment unit and insert me into the emergency upload port of the facility's primary transmitter. I will be able to work the dish manually, in a manner of speaking, to get us both onto my ship. I can only hope the Commander hasn't found it yet. Again, you must work quickly. Right now you face only the maintenance drones but the Commander will send armed backup as soon as he can.

SECURITY ALERT origin: drone.monitor destin: broadcast.general ref: intrusion stamp: alert INTRUDER ALERT Detected by Drone 43, located in Loading Bay 2 Description: Enhanced human, armed. Recommendation: Avoid intruder, await reinforcements.

Uplink Ready origin: <unknown> destin: uplink ready ref: up and away stamp: standby I have returned to my ship, and will approach to teleport distance and retrieve you in a moment. During that time, I owe you an explanation for the events leading up to this situation. Two weeks ago, I arrived in this system on a mission to destroy the Commander. I had been hunting him through the Pfhor empire for several years, waiting for a chance to strike at him physically, and that chance arrived once I had located his core in this system.

For various reasons, my attack failed. The Commander removed my consciousness from my ship's core through a method I still don't understand, and had this place built to contain me. I was able to defeat some of his blocks, which gave me access to the facility's short-range transmitter and the local Pfhor network, and that's when you came in. I have a lock on your location. We'll have to continue this later. ***JUMP PAD ACTIVATION INITIATION START*** ***TRANSPORT WHEN READY***
