*08AA: S'pht-Human streaming translation active*

We did not anticipate that we would have to face the slavers on this battlefield. We are now struggling on several (/networks?) of difficulty. We understand that provision must be made to recover your individual neural (/network?) in your struggles against the Pfhor, and we are attempting to design a way for you to store your pattern in a buffer aboard this ship while you are still on the surface of Earth.

We will use the transporters aboard this ship and enhance certain objects in the areas you will be visiting with circuits designed to (/communicate?) with your mechanized systems. The circuitry in these objects will then be removed by proxy (/teleportation?) once you have left the area. We will try to remove the circuits in such a way that will mimic the natural decay that such objects experience. We wish to avoid leaving any trace of our presence that your kind might detect. If we were to alter history, the paradoxical effects would be catastrophically (/unpredictable?).

We have modified your onboard streaming translation AI to be able to read the language of the area you will be working in. However, we do not think it essential that you spend time scrutinizing any writings you encounter on the surface. We are also in the process of synthesizing new weaponry for you. Please be patient. We will soon be able to replicate your heavy assault rifle, but the Pfhor materials synthesis computer is being somewhat uncooperative.
