We have arrived in the tower. Yes. I have discovered the ignorant and redundant Pfhor computer relay system. Do tell. There is a separate server system in the nether regions of this vessel, which bear host to the main fusion reactor system. This computer is the only link between this classified system and the main system. Which explains the signals. Quite. We are getting tired of the run around. But we may soon feed. Seek out this classified system. I believe it has valuable information for us. Why haven't you already broken into it? Because it's classified. Once you reach it, I will reconcile with its systems. We tire immensely of the run-around. If your half of our conscious was more intelligent, you wouldn't have to do the run-around.

Ah, yes, this is the classified system. Apparently... Apparently what? Is this the wrong place? No, we have done well. I don't remember you killing all of the soft-bodied aliens. Hush your mouth. No, there is a sub-reactor nearby from which we may feed again. Excellent. What must we do? We must insert nanosystems into their reactor machinery. They will siphon the energy into our body. How should we do that? Find the most delicate pieces of machinery you can find, and then put your large fist into it to insert the nanosystems. Sounds easy enough. Return here when you finish.

You have done well. Naturally. Our goal has almost been reached. Once again, the energy rejuvenates us and assists in the hunt. What now? We must continue downward, to the main source. Yes.

We draw near to the main energy systems. How near? Very near. We are ready to enter the core sector. This is excellent, for I hunger. Certainly you do. The large fusion core is in the center of the core system. However, the only entrance point available is on the outside edge. Figures. Quite. You must move in to the core so we may feed from the energy inside. Is this our last objective? Yes. From there, we may rest again.

A massive amount of energy is radiating from the west. Where from, in this region you call west? The northwest. There is a large tower where these signals emanate from. There are a few more tubes up ahead which you must head through. We tire of swimming. Water gets into our joints and causes rust. Yes. But it isn't much further. Continue on, for we desire energy, and this source to the west seems like a good direction. Yes. Yes! Find a terminal there, from which we may rendezvous.
