14: The Temple of D'Hara Vir

As the maps indicated, there are four Pfhasic units that need to be activated. I have sent humans in to place some of the D'Hara chips, but most of them have been killed by the Pfhor. You will find their remains lying about, and hopefully some of the chips they were carrying will be close by. Units 1 and 2 are almost complete. The humans sent to activate the second two units weren't so lucky.

You will find Pfhasic unit one a bit further down the hall and to the right. Return to this power outlet and I will give you directions to the second unit.

Unit two is located at the top of this map. You are going to have to locate another chip dropped by one of the humans to get it going. Once you turn on that unit, I should be able to locate the path to units three and four.

Should be able to get into the temple now. Switch here lets you in by starting a platform up into the front of the temple.

Once inside the temple you will find two more switched that will let you into Pfhasic units 3 and 4.

Unit 3 is located here. Most of the humans sent to get it started have died, so you are going to need to locate four chips to get this one going. Check the stairs inside the main temple building if you can't find enough around here.

Unit 3 is located to your left. Most of the humans sent to get it started have died, so you are going to need to locate 4 chips to get this one going. It is strange that the core of the D'Hara intelligence is not located inside the temple, but perhaps they didn't consider it secure enough.

You will find Pfhasic unit 4 to your right. I have managed to get three more chips from the Pfhaket'far space pool. I will transport them in to you. I hope you can find a fourth chip, or that one of the humans sent there managed to do his job before he was killed.

Once you have it running, keep moving to the north until you find a room that looks like this. I believe this is where the physical presence of D'Hara is. I am sure he? she? it? will have much to share with you.

Return to the area behind these rooms. Step into the centre and your Durandal will transport the wafers and you to the Pfhaket'far. Good luck in the search for your home galaxy. Our prayers and wisdom travel with you.

Come to me.

I would like to thank all my very patient beta testers. Rainer Udelhoven, Jane Davison, j0@ Gardner, Aaron Davies, Sital "Seetle" Bains, Christopher Veres, Claude Errera, Adam "Rabbit" Rose, Bryan "Turtle" Sauber, Rob Findlay, James Hasting-Trew, Borzz, Justin Jancheta and Jacob Aberg. For Version 1.1 Christopher Lund and John Sumner.

But especially Rainer who soldiered on at Total Carnage through many versions and provided many valuable ideas and strategic advice. Rainer also helped with terminal art, inspired the blast able flower pots and created the sound. I may never have finished this scenario if it were not for Rainer and Jane pushing and cheering me on. Pfh'Joueur is much better because of them.

And many thanks to Steve "Afrit" Richie (the bridge in Ce'phf'aldea) and Gareth Woods (In Deep Doo Doo's sunken space ship) for their map contributions, and all the great Marathon map makers who have inspired me. And Adrian Bourke for creating the installer, and Claude Errera for his help in that area. And Bungie for Marathon, and all of the Marathon Mapmakers Guild especially Bill Catambay. Claude and Squeaky and Steve Campbell and everyone else from Bungie.org and it's predecessors.

And the whole Excalibur: Morgana's Revenge crew not already mentioned, especially James Bisset and Bill for the ambient music idea. And James for music lessons.And Stephan "STef" Bondier for a few textures. Christopher Veres for the killer mud media.
