As I explained to you, this will be a difficult mission. There are three sensors that need to be reconfigured. Due to damage sustained during the invader attack, I am not able to show you all the various controls at this time. Hopefully, as you reactivate various parts of the complex, I will be able to illustrate later parts of the system.
In order to make it clear to you what is going on, I think it is necessary to give you some background on this facility. This is the main sensor control for the ship. Security measures placed at the time of construction assure that all sensors are deactivated and locked when external damage to the ship is coupled with the detection of alien life forms. This was done to guarantee that the ship would not be of use to any attackers who managed to gain control.
What was not planned for was a reactor breach. Damage to the primary navigation decks was severe, and the controlling computer is totally inactive. I have no way to contact Ygn'oml in that section of the ship. If the sensors here were online, I could reverse the active signal and use it as a contact method.
I do not even have the ability to contact Ygn'oml in this section of the ship. I am only able to communicate with you through the aid of your base controller, and if that signal is disrupted before your work is done here, you will be on your own.
In order to reactivate the sensor arrays and reintegrate them into the primary control center, you will have to follow a somewhat confusing set of rules. Here are some things to remember:
In order to reactivate a sensor array, you will have to find its corresponding enabler. Once you have activated the enabling switch, the control switch for that array will become functional. Operating all three control switches will unlock the main communications link switch, and allow me access to the communications grid once again.
Access to two of the control switch enablers is further hindered by data integration towers. These need to be retracted before you can physically reach the switches. You must also activate the main central lift.
My recommendation is that your first priority should be to get the main lift running. This will give you access to the only unprotected control switch enabler. Your second priority should be to find the main life support center. This area contains a health recharger, which I've configured to operate with your suit, an oxygen recharger, which will be necessary because this level has been evacuated to minimize combustion risk (Ygn'oml are able to survive for very long periods of time without oxygen), and a pattern buffer, in which I can store your life readings in the event of physical damage. This is also the location of the main communications link switch, but that will remain inaccessible to you until you have activated all three sensor arrays.
Once these two areas are secured, you should retract the data integration towers to allow access to all control switch enablers. After you have activated all three enablers, you will have access to the three control switches. Flipping these will give you access to the main link switch.
Your base controller tells me that your suit has the ability to automap. You should use this function often in this area.
#checkpoint 0
The red circle shows the location of the main life support center. The three larger red areas around it are the sensor arrays. Each is activated by a control switch on the opposite side of the ring from it.
#checkpoint 1
This is your current location. It is possible, but not simple, to return here once you leave.
#checkpoint 2
This is the main central lift. In order to get there, drop into the drop tube behind you, leave it almost immediately going due south, and take the due west passageway out of the next drop tube.
#checkpoint 3
These instructions will lead you to this elevator. From here, you can go northeast to the main central lift, and a 150° turn will drop you into the lift activation room. At the top of the lift is the first control switch enabler. If you miss any of the exit passageways, you will end up on the bottom level of this facility, and will need to work your way back up.
#checkpoint 4
Hopefully, by the time you reach this communication console, I will be better able to show you the rest of the switch locations. Head here after recharging your suit's oxygen supply at the main life support center.
