The access to Gamma quadrant from the lower level of the core has broken down again. Please look into it as soon as possible - it’s very important that personnel have easy access to the level core, both the lower and upper areas, from every quadrant.

I can’t override SHODAN’s control of the systems. Among the things he’s using the local CPU clusters for, he seems to be rapidly changing the code, or moving it around in memory, or something. If the resistance could get people to the CPU room on levels one through six to shut them down, we might be able to find out what code digits we really need. But the way things are now, we’ll be lucky to just defend ourselves, much less send out strike teams to the CPU’s

Security robots burst in on the resistance on the exec level and massacred everyone, shortly after Diego ran out on us. I escaped by going up to engineering and hiding in a crawlway. I have with me the isolinear chipset the resistance has been working on. It contains a program which will temporarily paralyze SHODAN long enough to find it and kill it. The only catch is that I have to get through the defenses to level 9, the bridge, and then break into the computer room to install the chipset. Once that is done, I will have to find the cyberjack to SHODAN’s lair.
Bide your time well, SHODAN. I am coming after you.

I am planning to leave tonight for the bridge. No doubt it is crawling with the heaviest artillery SHODAN can muster. I must find the computer room to install the isolinear chipset. The resistance worked a long time to develop the chipset program that will lower the defenses around SHODAN’s throne room. But just to get into the computer room will be a challenge. The entry is blocked by three force doors, each controlled by a security panel located in its own heavily-guarded room. I will have to try my luck at this, the only chance to stop SHODAN.

My routes are all blocked off by security robots and cyborgs. They are going to close in on me soon. If they take me alive, I will have the isolinear chipset with me. There will be a chance that I can break away and still use it.

SHODAN has taken over all of the station systems. I can’t reach any of the other station personnel; I’ll have to assume they’re all dead. I’m beginning to think I have no choice but to blow the station’s reactors and take SHODAN with me...maybe I’ll even be able to reach the escape pods. If I’m to do that, though, I’ll need the new systems authorization code. God knows how I can get that out of the computers with SHODAN in control.

You disappoint me, my children. My fortress has been breached by filthy humans crawling through the cracks. I have given you enhanced senses, armor, cybernetic mental enhancement, and you still fail to find insects much feebler than you. They have made it as far as level 8 and I fear they might reach farther. I am strengthening my palace to keep them out and I expect you to learn from your mistakes.

The security zone on level 8 is to be laid out according to this scheme. For the lower elevator, remove its access to my domain. The balconies and catwalks shall all be removed, save one laser bridge to the central shaft whose control is closely guarded. Most of my forces are to be concentrated here, monitoring the entry of all life forms.
