"I think that wasn't the biggest threat." Meera says looking around, as Titus and company seem to be really nailing down the last of the set up.
The little troops were little to no challenge to the girls, and your own fight seemed like it should have been harder. Then you hear a loud and unusual half screech half roar from the hallway that sounds somewhat fami-
It's a Rak Gol.
<span class="mu-b"> WHY ARE ALL THESE XENOS HERE You quickly communicate, also in time to see, what you are almost certain is either vindictive mirth or terror from the face of the downed xenos- as once again it's facial features are hard to read.
<span class="mu-i"><span class="mu-s"> Someone, I don't think it was one of your friends but I could be mistaken, pulled the prisoner release switch, which freed some xenos from the lower xenos research level. Your friends shouldn't have to deal with them, but unfortunately you do unless you try a root access command to the lower research level and lock it off. But that will be really hard to do with a Rak Gol running around!</span></span>
WHY CAN'T YOU DO IT? You ask intently. Readying your weapons as you are now able to see the huge monster that can barely fit in the hallway and is having trouble maneuvering.
<span class="mu-i"><span class="mu-s"> Because I, like most proper programming cores are in fact not ai but in fact an advanced neural net with programmed personalities for situations, and I am not allowed to access that unless I am accessed from a root system, which you are not doing right now. So you would have to do it through a system or ask me to do it from the Primary Microphone near where your friends are finishing with the broadcast equipment.</span></span>
It's a good thing you ended the fight quickly by capturing your opponent, making this last longer than it had to would lead to more trouble.
You have barely a moment to make a decision as the Rak Gol is slowly squeezing out the hallway
>> Root Access the system now- there is no telling what kind of crazy beasties just got let out. Your Honor Guard can tie it up long enough to close down the research wing. OR
>> This Rak Gol is probably the primary threat at this time, defeating it quickly will allow you to access the system to prevent other things.</span>
