The terminals on this level have been reordered to match the in-game order and not the order in the map file.
You can see their in-game order on this in-game map.
Terminal 5 leads to a co-op carnage break level and is included here as it can be accessed during normal solo play.
A terminal was removed from this level and replaced with a pattern buffer in the final game. The terminal text is
still retained in the map file and is shown at the end for completeness. See location X in this in-game map
for its original location.

This message is displayed at the very start of the level. It informs you
of your mission, find and destroy the power source to R'chzne's transmitter. Before that
you need to activate two panels to open locked doors. Their locations are shown in the terminal
image.
The message also shows you your exit terminal location.

Once you have unlocked the doors giving you access to the next section of this
level this terminal gives you the location of the power source to R'chzne's transmitter.
The location is slightly off which can be confusing.
The power source is actually...
Note how Tycho tells you to return back to this terminal after you have destroyed the power source. This is
different from the location in Tycho's first message. Confusing right? Tycho rhymes with...

NOW... here is the confusing part. Captain R'chzne was still on the Pfhor ship?!!!

from transmitting a message to Lh'owon Command. Confusing right? Tycho rhymes with...
Note that this is an exit terminal and will teleport you to the next level Confound Delivery.
However this is not the exit terminal Tycho wanted you to take at the start.
It is possible to bypass a large portion of this level if you miss

and simply carry on, destroy the power source at point B and return to this terminal (2)
as instructed to be teleported out.

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.
Durandal would be a messiah to the S'pht, but it's all a dream. There's nothing

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.
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.
This terminal repeats the messages on Terminal 2 (above)
but is located in the area Tycho gave you at the start of the level.
If you get this message you have not yet destroyed the power source to R'chzne's transmitter.

This is a secret underwater terminal which teleports you to the second Co-Op Carnage Break Level.
The original intent was for this to be accessable only during co-operative play.
Two players would each bring an uplink chip from Robot World Arena and insert them in
the chip slots shown in this in-game map. Once inserted they would open two underwater doors
giving them access to Terminal 5.
However both doors are player controllable during solo play.
Find out more on The Co-op Carnage Break Levels section.
The terminal message is text from Shakespeare's Sonnet No.131. Find out more on the
Shakespeare in Marathon section.

You cannot read this terminal in the game. It was removed and replaced with a Pattern Buffer.
It was originally located in-game here.
The text is still retained in the map file and it is shown here for completeness.
The terminal message helps to explain why we find human remains with pistols on this level.
Since Durandal hasn't arrived at Lh'owon yet there should be no humans (Bobs) on this level.
So the terminal was removed to match the story but the dead Bob sprites were not removed.
