***INCOMING MESSAGE FROM LEELA***

You let too many crew members die.  You have failed in your mission.

I was unable to gain any useful information from the rescued

We must head off the Pfhor threat to the Engineering section.
I am going to send you into the primary re~Tick

Public Access Terminal<78.39.3.91>

***INCOMING MESSAGE FROM LEELA***

You have done well.

The surviving #4Fc#O32C <B.O.B.> reported seeing the Pfhor
transferring some kind of large device towards Reactor Area 3.
From the description it must be a bomb.

If a large bomb is allowed to detonate in the Engineering
Section, the Marathon would be ^&2``~<Colloquialism Search

***INCOMING MESSAGE FROM LEELA***

Everything is not as it seems{}.  seems{}.  seems{}.  You
should be extremely careful.  I have detected Durandal[Tycho]
in the Engineering Section, but I don't know what he is doing.

My main programs are failing<299.229>

Be careful.  Everything it not is as used to be.

Science Station 19-f<299.229.4.59>

***INCOMING MESSAGE FROM DURANDAL***

Leela can't reach you here, but I can.  I am able to access
all sections of the ship, and the S'pht have even stopped
attacking me- realizing the futility of the enterprise.

Here's a little hint, you'll probably need the help:

If you want to live, go here
and look for a hidden airlock
panel.

Err,  maybe it was here.

No.  I remember now.  It was
here.  Yeah, that's it.  This
was the place.

I'm sorry.  Could this be it?
It looks like it.  I can't
find the right map.  Try
talking to Leela.  She always
was a nice AI.  She could help
you.

Oh, right.  Leela can't get
here.

Decompression Completed.

Just kidding.  This is the
place.

Side note:

The S'pht have informed me
that he Pfhor are building
cyborg simulacrums of the
Marathon crew.  I imagine that
you will meet some of them
soon, and wanted to warn you
not to get too close to them:
about three meters.
