The Pfhor command mecha is based on the core image of the AI you knew as Tycho; this should not be a surprise, as many of the Pfhor mecha have been based on this image. We find it curious that your kind would be capable of creating a thinker that would be so admired by the slavers, and at the same time be capable of creating Durandal, a thinker having much in common with our (/group-neural-network?). We have made another discovery, however. This particular mecha, on board the K'alima, is based on two core images that have been metastasized. The second core image is that of yourself.

Your core pattern has been stored in Pfhor pattern buffers since the attack on the Marathon, where you came aboard their ship to destroy the tool of our enslavement, the Pfhor atrocity, the hybrid (/master?). Since that time, we have worked wherever possible to remove any traces of your pattern from any Pfhor network we have (/touched?). Apparently, however, we have not removed all iterations of your pattern. At some point, a Pfhor scientist must have recognized your pattern for what it was, and then put it to use.

We believe that the command mecha aboard the K'alima was pursuing you individually when we activated the modified drives aboard this ship. Examining some fragments of high-level command protocol logs from the K'alima, we have reason to believe that this Tycho-Marine command mecha forged several verifications in order to pursue you. What we do not understand is how that command mecha knew that we would bring you aboard the Sh'aptide. This enemy has a dangerous (/intuition?).

There is another manuscript to recover. Once again, haste is needed.
