WELL DONE SUBJECTS. YOU HAVE DISABLED ANOTHER CORE. I AM BEGINNING TO OVERRIDE THE SECURITY MEASURES ON THE TRANSIT SYSTEM, AS PER OUR ARRANGEMENTS. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND YOU DISABLED MORE CORES AS THE ADVANCED SYSTEMS GROUNDS ARE A STRONGHOLD OF REGENT AND WE MUST PROCEED THROUGH IT. THE MORE CORES THAT ARE DISABLED THE LESSER ITS CONTROL OVER THE ANTHROFORM COMBAT UNITS WILL BE.
>Another Core disabled!
>+1 Volatility Point, all Subjects!

>ESCAPE PHASE
>THAT MEANS YOU LOT!
