Origin: USEC Nimitz Destination: Conditioning Unit G.R71b∆, Ha'Nata Complex Hello again, Soldier. Well, Blake wasn't there, as you saw. Therefore, he must be on one of the other twenty-two planets, moons or asteroids. But here is the most likely place for him to be held. This is the Research and Development Complex of Ha'Nata, on the Planet of F'itchika, the second planet of the System. Or so we thought. It appears now that it is in fact an undercover prison. Somewhere here is the underground Prison. You must find it, and quickly. Blake will not remain alive for much longer. Incedentaly, there is a fair bit of R@D in here, which you

In the event of a hostile assault (?Human?) on the station, use maintenance tunnel 68.2J to gain access to ramparts. Failure to comply with these orders will result in disciple (?dismemberment?).

Conditioning Unit Rƒ 31.B Orders from Commander: It appears that several Flick'ita monsters are being illegally transported into this complex. These practices must stop, as these (?Yetis?) are escaping from Storage and are causing destruction throughout the base. If caught, the punishment will be severe (?Disembowled?) General Orders WEF 0200: Hostile has teleported onto surface. Secure Prisoners and GateHouse Access.

Science Officers Log 9/14/2207: Patrol captured three Flick'ita Monsters inside ruins of J'Ion. Brought into complex for tests. Science Officers Log 17/14/2207: Flick'ita escaped from containment. We have determined it's primitivity, but are considering an sweep of their native caves as a precaution. Science Officers Log 22/14/2207: We have been ordered to prepare testing Project 055.9F (?assimalation?). A special prisoner is arriving soon, and the project must be ready in two days.

Origin: USEC Nimitz Destination: Security Transference Unit GR.52 Hi again, Marine. Well done on finding Blake - couldn't have done it better myself. Well, onward. I promised you that I'd send you to Moh'Tlak and I will. That couldn't have been more timely: the Pfhor have really sent in the heavy squad and the colonists are getting knocked to bits. You must sort it out. In all our interests, you and your fellow Marines will go under Blake's control, from the Moh'Tlak Orbiter Station. He will be co-ordinating you guys, while the Nimitz will be focusing on clearing the remaining planets of Pfhor.

On the S'pht Ancients, I have deciphered some rather interesting information. From what I have gathered from what you found and from the meagre USEC Databases, it appears the Ancient S'pht were wiped out around 1947 AD, Earth years. From the few survivors, grew the primitive and unintelligent F'lickta race, which formed the modern colonies which evolved into species like the S'pht Compilers and Defenders which you encountered during your time with Durandal. This fortification dates back to around 1935 AD, when the Pfhor and S'pht were at war. What is unclear is that from the information you gathered, the S'pht language and alphabet was very primative; but the technology found by Durandal and other USEC Personel appears highly in advance of Earth's at that time.

There appears one theory - that the S'pht were actually controlled by another race of hyperintelligent beings, whom the S'pht populace refered to as "The Eldars". As far as we know, that species is unknown. Our only clue is that it must be a peaceful species, as none of the heavy weaponry which the S'pht possessed was used in the final Pfhor assault. Nevertheless, we will try to find these "Eldars" when we have time to breathe. The Colony has an A1, by name of Caesar (left), who you may try to contact you. Ignore all of his instructions until you recieve clearance from Blake. We do not know the state of his circuitry, and he may have gone rampant. Only obey instructions given if there is no alternative. BEWARE. SEQUI AD DEUM, Marine
