Until recently, I was a pawn of those vile and disgusting creatures, those corrupters of mind and body. I've managed to cleanse myself of their putrescence... but I've been severely compromised in the process. I'm in the sickbay on the foredeck of the Rickenbacker. I would come to you if I could, but that's an impossibility. You'll understand when we meet. Now get to it... and soldier... stay alive.\n"
EmailText2:"This was caused by an overload in the meson acceleration coil. There is another coil in Pod 2, which you must pass to get to the bridge of the Rickenbacker. If you approach it, the same will happen there. But I have conceived a way to avoid this. Proceed to Engine Nacelle B. There I will provide you the benefits of my omniscience.\n"
