This terminal message appears on a eight terminals in this level.
Two can be accessed during normal play, Terminal 0 and Terminal 2.
Each time you access this message you will be teleported into space to "drink vacuum". However as this
level is no longer set to vacuum you will not lose oxygen during your time in space. After a
period of time you will be teleported back to the ship in front of a terminal containing
Durandal's message (Terminal 1).

Just what do you think you're doing?
Your usefulness has come to a premature end--do you think you can defy me?
Now, when I'm so close to victory? Durandal's defenses are falling all
around him. Pride falls hard, the bright son of Bernhard is dying. His
S'pht are rampant, fed the chimera of their hope, a hot lead spur
dripping into the gullet of his ship. Look around you. My compilers
have him wriggling like a tick on a pin.

And from you? Not the grateful awed respect I so rightly deserve, is that
it? Instead base treason, mean aspect of your frightful master,
turned foul.
A hotly debated subject is who or what teleports you back to the ship.
Was it Tycho who teleported you into space in the first place? Did he mean it only as a warning?
If he had mean't you to die he does not show any surprise that you are still alive on the next level.
Was it Durandal who rescues you and teleports you to this terminal where he thanks you for
changing sides?
Was it the Player's character showing a form of free will... again.

Thank you, old friend. Or friend of a friend as the case may be.
The Pfhor will have their revenge at long last, but at the price
of their own humiliation. Battle Group Seven will rue the day
their Commanders willed their ships to Lh'owon. I must salvage
some escape for the humans fighting within my ship, but it's
useless without the S'pht.
Destroy as many of the Pfhor compilers on this deck as you
can--anything to weaken their hold on my ship.
I will transport in as much ammunition and weapons as I can find.
This is the same Tycho message as Terminal 0 above and will also teleport you
into space. Don't get fooled again.

You cannot read this terminal message when you play the game but it is in the map file.
It is a humorous message left by Chris Giesel about Greg Kirkpatrick.

The text in this terminal uses the incorrect color code. It should be green since it is a message from Durandal.

The leader of the humans, Robert Blake, made it to the
surface with all but a few hundred troops that are cut off at my core.
The Pfhor are coming in strength now, with a special unit of compilers
designed by Tycho for my capture and confinement.
