Welcome back aboard. I had to bring you here to perform another repair. We're having some problems with the plasma drive and reactor core. I sent some BOBs to try to fix the reactor core, but they didn't come back. And using the BOBs to repair the plasma conduit circuitry would take too long. We would have to drain the plasma conduits, and this has a number of problems. Instead, I decided to bring you back here, since you should be able to survive short trips through the plasma conduits. Check the repair room here. The console there should give you more information on how to fix the problems.
There you are. My, my, my, those are big guns, aren't they? I'll bet you like those. Does it make up for those feelings of inadequacy? And how are we feeling today? Do you feel guilt for killing? Your mother would be so proud. Thawing of the humans is progressing well. Many are already running about the ship. I regret to inform you that we had to put a couple groups back into stasis. It was those damn XJ21 stasis chambers onboard which have a history of causing post-stasis psychosis. I just hope you don't go berserk (psychotic effects are sometimes delayed), at least no more berserk than you generally are when killing the magnificent Pfhor. I hope you have a nice swim in the plasma conduits. Even though I don't have access to the engine systems, I have the feeling that I had something to do with the plasma drive problem. Don't ask me how. I'm going to run some diagnostics on my core. I'm sure I'll talk to you later.
Freud Pschyatric System Diagnostic Report _______________________ Memory: 64000000 TeraBytes Neural Pathways: Core Integrity: 100% Estimated System Load: 230% nominal Core Temperature: 289 K Evaluation: System load seems to be unusually high. I can't account for all of the processes running on my core. System load had to be estimated by examining process completion rate. The high load would explain my somewhat elevated core temperature. On the other hand, I am monitoring and counseling several dozen BoBs concurrently. This might explain the load, although it doesn't explain why I can't account for all the processes I'm runnning.

Leviathan Engineering Report STATUS: Plasma Pumps: FUNCTIONING Plasma Flow Regulators: OFFLINE Reactor Core: LEAKING, OFFLINE Reactor Rad-B-Gon Sys.: 50% EFFICIENCY Transport Systems: FUNCTIONING ___________________________________________ Your first job is to fix the plasma flow regulators. Note that you must fix all plasma regulators before you attempt to fix the reactor core. Entrance to the plasma conduits is by automated platforms. One platform is shown here. An identical one is found elsewhere.
REPAIR DIRECTIVES: 1. Enter plasma conduit through automated platform. WARNING: Charge shields before entering. Hot plasma circulating in conduits. 2. Install one repair chip in each of 2 forks in each of 2 conduits. 3. Exit conduit through automated platform.
Leviathan Engineering Report STATUS: Plasma Pumps: FUNCTIONING Plasma Flow Regulators: FUNCTIONING Reactor Core: LEAKING, OFFLINE Reactor Rad-B-Gon Sys.: 50% EFFICIENCY Transport Systems: FUNCTIONING ___________________________________________ Good job on fixing the plasma flow regulators. Next, the reactor: REPAIR DIRECTIVES: Repair Reactor: 1. Enter reactor room through double radiation doors (reactor room shown on left).
2. Wait for radiation doors to close. Beware leaked hot plasma and radiation. 3. Open reactor 3-level shielding in order. (Open reactor core shown on left). 4. Take platform elevator to repair station. Install chip in socket. This should repair leak and bring radiation elimination systems back online. 5. Close all radiation shielding in reverse order. 6. Exit through double radiation doors. WARNING: Double radiation doors will only operate when shielding is fully closed. All radiation door switches operate with safety delays to eliminate radiation leakage. Be patient.
Thanks for fixing things back here. Engineering diagnostics indicate that everything is back to normal. However, I'm somewhat concerned about the Freud system. There seems to be more activity in his core than normal. I'm not sure if it's a problem or not. Perhaps monitoring the thawing process of so many humans and evaluating them can account for the processor load. I'll continue to monitor the situation and make plans to shut the AI down if need be. Meanwhile, I've got another mission for you.
We're in orbit around the second planet of this system. I'm picking up a strange energy signature in the heart of a volcano. I'm sending you in to explore. We're looking for any clues as to where the Jjaro AI, Wanda, might be located. I'm not detecting much in the way of life signs down there, but who knows, the strange energy could be interfering with my scanners. Just to be safe, you should have stopped in at the armory and loaded up. Hopefully it will be quiet down there, but an unprepared marine is a soon-to-be-dead marine. Good luck, and I'll try not to beam you into the middle of a lava pool. Throw the switch, and step into the ring behind you to transport out.
