I have gathered some information that may help you. The circles denote
panels that will bypass the locks on the doors.
When you've penetrated the area and destroyed the transmitter, find the terminal marked
on the map. No need to go easy on any of the troopers, in case you're
wondering--I've decided there's no room for them in the new regime.
I'd really prefer to keep my whereabouts a secret, at least until the Captain
and I can work out our disagreement about my rank.

R'chzne's transmitter is here, but the power source is somewhere inside the
ruins. Find it and destroy it, quickly. The Pfhor promised
me this ship. I thought R'chzne was my strongest ally, but in the end
he watched, pitiless, while they cracked my core like an old chestnut.

The Enforcers, as you may remember, are not vacuum enabled.
It's important that the captain doesn't escape. Very important. The plan
to capture Durandal is inherently flawed, and I can't allow him to pursue his folly.
The decaying web of the Pfhor Empire is held together by the conditioned ranks of
S'pht--countless strands bending even now towards Durandal's will. R'chzne
and the rest of the insects at Pfhor High Command think to snare him in the very
web in which he most desires to be caught.

The Enforcers are pinned down on the bridge, and they won't cooperate until I can
successfully forge their encrypted stamp. I'm working on it, but it may be
a dead issue, as most of the Aggregate Units have come over and are preparing to
blow the ship seals.

Outriders report transporter telltales on their sensors. Preliminary evaluation
suggests human commando units. Combatant Leader 2nd Class Rr'pt humbly requests
reinforcement by armored units.

The mutinous Combatant Units have been routed from their positions on the outer walls. They
are retreating through the warrens into the mountains, and we are continuing the pursuit.

The power source must be somewhere in the oldest sections of the S'pht
fortress. It's likely a quick and dirty patch into the durable
S'pht hardware. These types of strongholds were build to outlast
centuries of warfare; you'd be surprised how tenaciously the ancient
S'pht resisted the Pfhor.

I have some shocking news. It seems that the captain attempted to use the bridge
transporter to escape planetside, and was killed when the signal was redirected to
nearby space. I like to think he died repentant.
Durandal would be a messiah to the S'pht, but it's all a dream. There's nothing
on Lh'owon but ghosts.

In any case, I'm in control of the ship now, and just in
time. Durandal's ship has entered the system, and a group of human commando
units is moving through the southern edge of the ruins. We'll let them lead us
to Durandal's prize, and then cut off their escape.
