Depending on what terminal you took to get to this level you might get an eerie déyà vu feeling at the start.
If you don't you will certainly get it at the end. This is a continuation of the area you just explored in
Poor Yorick. If you didn't explore Poor Yorick fully and took the exit at Terminal 2 you will miss this connection.
Here is an in-game map of both levels stitched together.
There are only two terminals on this level.
You can see their in-game order on this in-game map.
A terminal was removed from this level but its text is still retained in the map file and is shown at the end for completeness.
See location X on this in-game map for its original location.
Durandal has arrived at Lh'owon which is why there are now Bobs on this
level. However they are not friendly. These Bobs are fast on the draw and accurate.
Fortunately for you (unfortunately for them) they are up against Juggernauts.
The in-game image on this terminal contains legacy Marathon 2 textures. Find out more about this on the Textures section.

My hunters tracked the lead group of humans to a flooded area beneath the complex,
where they were attempting to activate an ancient S'pht AI. They never
made it back to the surface.

My ship is adrift. I had the advantage of surprise, but Durandal's weapons
crippled me before we could get in range. But I sent him a message he won't
be able to resist, something only the three of us would understand. Leela
deserved what she got, and so will he.

Make yourself useful. There are two switches near your current
location. Both open large gates, which I presume to be floodgates,
although the positioning of them is strange. Enter the flooded
areas and access the S'pht AI. My hunters report that the humans
may have been partially successful. Nothing can be left to
chance. I have him now.
This 1st "unfinished" message is displayed if you have not explored the
underwater area below this structure to find the S'pht AI.
Navigating this area in map view can be confusing because of the multiple elevations.
Here is a map showing only the underwater area with its three access pools (location A, B and C) and the S'pht AI
activation site (location D). Pools A and B are close to the start of the level and
easy to access. Pool C can only be accessed via a secret door close to Terminal 0.
Note that you cannot access the S'pht AI activation site (location D) during normal game play. You can only look into it.

You haven't found the location of the S'pht AI, have you? And yet you test so well
for problem solving and intuition. Remind me to have you entered for the next
round of scheduled executions.
Explore the interior of the fortress and report back here when you have completed your
investigation. And don't bother me again.

Do you have any idea what a complicated matter it is to successfully replicate the
command stamps of over a hundred deceased officers? Not to mention coaxing
activators from a partially crushed set of control glands.
All this while locked in mortal combat with the second most brilliant Artificial
Intelligence in the galaxy. What a rush.

This 2nd "success" message will only display after you have explored the underwater
area where the ancient S'pht AI is located. You will recognise the AI structure from Marathon 2
but you can't enter it during normal game play.
Judging from Tycho's message this timeline is FUBAR. Time for a change of plan.

Curiosity killed the cat. Or should I say, the rat. He brought the Pfhor
to Tau Ceti, and left me to their tender mercies.

My little ship waited until he was close, and then sunk in its fangs. Durandal's
compiler network is rampant, and his ship is off-line. While he contends with
their madness, and the last of my troopers, the Western Arm of Pfhor Battle Group
Seven is en route.

Functioning sensors show a massive structure entering a Lh'owon orbit. It
may be some trick of Durandal's, but he won't get away. My ship carries
the tri xeem--the early nova device. One way or another, it ends here.
My troopers have boarded his ship and are fighting deck to deck. I'm sending you
in to help. Last one to the core is an unarmed Bob.
This terminal message cannot be read in-game because the terminal was removed
from the level. While the text was retained in the map file it was not the original text for this
terminal.
