Time: 10:11, September 19 Location: Mountain path Don't do that, dammit. It's lucky enough that we have that beacon affixed to your armor; we never would have found you otherwise, and look where you'd be: caught in the middle of another fierce battle. Many of the Pfhor have beaten you here; they are fighting through the corridors of this building, which seems to be primarily a screening section for anyone entering the citadel through this venue. It also seems to double as a waste disposal structure. Whatever it's for... Like before, your goal here is simply to get through. Look for another terminal that can teleport you into the citadel, and try to keep more of our boys alive this time, okay? It'd be appreciated.

S'pht -> Human Translator Active [e=6246] It must be nice to know that you have a species as faithful as your own so ready to die for a cause such as yours -- and yet, you really do stand no chance. The original plan, as far as my masters have divulged upon me, though I have attempted to keep me from telling anyone else about it, was simply to let the Demon destroy the traitorous S'pht, and then use our weapon again to slay the Demon at the same time. But now I have no reason not to let the W'rkncacnter destroy your home too... alas.

Do you remember, not so long ago, when I asked if you think it's vain or nearsighted of our kind to be so hateful of the rest of our species for an act of cowardice that doomed us all a thousand years ago? I hope you didn't think about it too hard. Of course it's vain. Idiot. But they deserve it, anyway. Because their own incompetent decision led to the enslavement and damnation at the hands of the insects I now crush,they deserve to die. And if they don't perish at the hand of their keepers, then I will take it upon myself to finish the job.

Phew, at least we managed to catch you before you went running off someplace else. This terminal has access to a few places inside the citadel, but we're choosing one structure over the rest. It seems to double as a housing center for POWs -- in this case, several other fallen Humans in this war -- but also the main place that houses Karuma's personality cells. You've seen a few others, but this is the big place. Our plan is to fell two birds with one stone. See if you can deduce what the plan is before I tell you.

I'm going to teleport you and a few of your friends into this prison center. It's undoubtedly going to be a very pitched battle from the get-go, so be sure you have everything ready. Teleporting... now.
