The Colony

"The colony has been wiped out. Phhht! Just like that."

The above text is intriguing in that while it appears in the first terminal on Try Again it does not appear in the resource fork of the game. What does appear in the resource fork is 
(*&)&
~~~~~~&>%*{%rhpe~~jy658[69l[il[70l
-0oli77765~~uI%OI&%
and this is apparently displayed in the computer terminal as 
(*&)&
~~~~~~&>%*{The colony has been wiped out. Phhht! Just like
that.hpe~~jy658[69l[il[70l
-0oli77765~~uI%OI&%
<Try Again (Terminal 1)>
If anyone knows how "%r" is translated to "The colony has been wiped out. Phhht! Just like that." please e-mail me.
