Hang Brain (Terminal 0)

This message appears on two terminals. One at the start and the other in the large circular room (Durandal's core logic center). Only one is shown here.

The jackals are tearing at the corpse now.

You're back on Durandal's pleasure barge. Its pinned in the crushing embrace of the Sepfh'r, Admiral Tfear's own flagship, and those explosions you hear are the sounds of his elite assault troops disintegrating the humans' pitiful last stand.

The insects think they'll plumb Durandal's depths the way they stretched me to a hair's breadth, but I know better. If they pull his core, that pride bloated corpse will disgorge a thousand wriggling worms into the S'pht consciousness.

And I can't stomach it.

My terms are the same as before: do what I say, or drink vacuum.

Destroy Durandal before the compilers finish their work and I'll forget all your transgressions.

Hang Brain (Terminal 1: 1st Message)

If you fail to destroy all of Durandal's 8 core logic circuits this message will be displayed and you will be teleported back to the start of the level... to try again.  It is actually possible to access this terminal after destroying only 2 of the 8 circuits.

the burning air



a cold star looked down on his creations
and willed that they should kill their sons

the hardest lesson ever taught
to a father to a son

a moment in time, destroying it's father

destroyed by itself after
dream the dream beyond life and self

find the new way
