Unable to determine EST **Incoming message from Sister** Doctor, are you getting this? We can talk with this terminal. "I'm getting this. Where are we? Weren't we supposed to be relayed to the colony?" Something happened on the way, Doctor. I don't know what, sorry. "Scan the computer systems. Is there any useful information?" Septima's old Pfhor net is still active, but the main computers are gone. A lot of the terminals have stuff in the buffers, though. Do you want me to scan the buffers, Doctor? "Yeah, but be careful; who knows what kind of surprises the Pfhor left in the computers ..." Okay. I've found a file--it's a S'pht file, Doctor. Do you want to read it? "S'pht, eh? Show me." Um, okay. The translators Brother added to the AI biochip are working. You should be able to read the message. Spooling message to buffers. Streaming message ... compressing and translating ...
Ninth Cycle, Third Moon, 15th year of T'bbyo. K'ioa, S'pht'Kr recorder: We faced [arrived] this world today. Already do our brothers [former Pfhor slave S'pht] begin to journey to Naoort K'ias [S'pht'Kr's ship]. Many of our brothers were lost in the struggle against the slavers [Pfhor] of this world. The ones who yet live inform [bring additional information to the collective S'pht] the whole, of research into new ways and means [methods] of voyage. These ways and means involve sinister plots which we must now undo. All shall be left as is and a message [this message] shall be left for who finds this place. Beware the machina [machine?] remained by the vile slavers. Question not its device [function?].
Unable to determine EST Reconnect to AI biochip.... Was that all right, Doctor? "No. What was the research the Pfhor were conducting here?" The S'pht message says that they were looking at an old story about something called "2nd Space." "2nd Space? I've never heard of it. Strange. Well, we'll worry about that later. How do we get to the crash site from here?" There are a few old Pfhor transporters in the area that still work. If some security switches are stopped we can use one. "Stopped?" I guess you could just smash them, that'd work too. "All right. Where do I find these switches?" Um, I found an old map of this base in a terminal. I'll show you.
This is one of the buildings where the security switches are housed. It can be reached through a natural water channel which has formed in the dam.
This is one of the buildings where the security switches are housed. It can be reached through a natural water channel which has formed in the dam. This building can be reached through the purification aqueduct. Jump into the water outside and look for the underground passage. Good Luck, Doctor.

There is a active transporter in the area which we can use to reach the other side of the planet.
"Okay. Are there any security measures protecting the switches?" Yeah, I think so. There's probably some sort of simple lock puzzle or something. I'm sure you'll figure it out, Doctor! "All right, I'm going."
Research Station 7AY Origin: Septima Command Destin: All personnel ref: general announcement stamp: broadcast It is with regret that Septima command announces the defeat of the High Command and the complete Battle Group 6, as well as Command Fleet 2. These defeats reduce the power of the Pfhor empire greatly. Shortly before the mammals and the S'pht arrived at homeworld, High Command issued orders to implement the final directive. The final directive coded and identified by designation: 003.
Research Station 7AY Origin: Septima Command Destin: All personnel ref: Directive 003 stamp: orders As per instructions given in directive 003, all personnel are to comply with the following orders. Any deviation will result in the willful execution of deviant units. 1. All units are to report immediately to Curon, second planet in the Q'poa system. Project Director Admiral Ka'ynis will have orders for all units ready. 2. All units are to implement said orders in order to get project "Slao Lathum" operational. Any unit found to be deviant in duties will be willfully executed. 3. Upon completion of confirmed operational status, Admiral Ka'ynis is to implement the following: Move The Ninth Command fleet along with Dreadnought1 to sector 04213. Destruction of mammal species 601,"Human," is to be implemented without delay. 4. Following confirmed destruction of mammal species 601 Admiral Ka'ynis is to take what remains of the Ninth Command fleet and regroup with all remnants of the Pfhor armada at S'tisis. From there, Admiral Ka'ynis is to take Dreadnought1 and all remaining Pfhor ships and eliminate all traces of species 021, the S'pht. Long Live the Pfhor Empire.

Unable to determine EST Terminal display functions reactivated **Incoming message from Sister** I'm sorry Doctor. I tried to tell you but they blocked me. "Calm down, Sister. What happened?" The Pfhor are here. They have a big fleet just past the fourth planet. When they saw me in the networks of this old research post they began to scramble terminals. The circuits you just smashed were the circuits for the security system here. It was the only thing keeping the Pfhor away; the S'pht set it to kill Pfhor. "I see. Tell me about this fleet. How massive is it?" It's about three hundred ships in size. Then there's the flagship of this fleet. Its construction is not Pfhor. "Can you identify the species who may have built this ship?" I'm sorry, Doctor, I can't. All I can get is what the Pfhor are calling it: Dreadnought1. "This is very bad. Very bad, indeed. I read a terminal in another area detailing a plan for the destruction of humanity and the S'pht. The plan revolved around a ship called Dreadnought1." I remember seeing that message, too. It was stuck in display buffers for a remote terminal. If the Pfhor are implementing this plan of theirs, Earth and Mars are in great danger! We have to warn them! "Indeed. First we need to get off this planet. Are you ready to teleport back to the Prometheus?" That's another problem, Doctor. The Pfhor are jamming transporter signals. Only a ground-based transporter can work in this interference. "Then we need to get to the colony and help the miners evacuate. You also need to find a way of getting a message to Brother. He must be told what's going on. Okay, Doctor. I'll get right on it. I can't send you anywhere from here. If you go out the emergency escape corridor from this building and follow the path through the caves, you will reach a transporter room. It's connected to a ground based transport line. I can send us from there. "Be careful, Sister. The Pfhor aren't known to like AIs more advanced then their own. Watch out for their AIs." I will, Doctor.
Unable to determine EST **Incoming message from Sister** There are still lockouts active. Please find and destroy the security switches. The Pfhor are moving a ship closer to this planet. If you don't hurry there will be Pfhor everywhere! "I'm still working on it." Okay.
Unable to determine EST **Incoming message from Sister** "Time to go, Sister. Start the teleport sequence." Okay, Doctor, here you go. Once we get there, look for a terminal so we can talk. ~Teleport Sequence Active [Escape to Abort] ~Teleport Sequence Go
