So, you came around earlier than the scientist expected. Remind me to have him executed. You've been in cold sleep for some time, but you're luckier than some of your friends-not all of you survived the translation to the Pfhor slave tanks.

If you're a little lightheaded, then let me bring you up to speed. I  am Tycho, Artificial Intelligence esquire. As of this moment, I am taking over this ship from its poor captain. He is spending most of his time trying to keep me from locking onto him and dropping him into space. Soon.

As for you, I want you to help me get to him as he is one of the last hurdles to my control of this ship. This ship is attuned to its captain, and he has been blocking my control. When I teleport him into space, I am going to keep the appropriate control glands.

Your mission is simple, kill all of the enforcers in the area, as they follow the orders of the captain. You will be supported by the rest of the crew. They think they're following orders from Tfear High Command. Bugs are so obedient.

I have some more toys for you and you're going to need them. Go look for them here, and let me know what you think.

Durandal thinks that he's so smart, but he doesn't realize that I've been following him around for the last eleven years, after the Pfhor stopped trying to dissect me. You're looking at the bug fleet's resident expert in AI counter-insurgency. Notice the lack of compilers on board?  That's not by accident; my new ship has quite the effect on their collective unconscious. Now that my brother approaches, we will set about turning everything against him, Hamlet and his uncle, only I'm not crazy.

R'chzne made planetfall in a dropship. He's also trying to contact Lh'owon Command, but so far I've been able to jam his signals. Go below and show him the error of his ways.

He's holed up in one of the S'pht ruins, where we detected signals that could be from an ancient AI. Don't sweat the details, little monkey, just eliminate his troopers. Leave the strategizing to those of use with planet-sized brains.
