Briefing
Comm Officer Devinchy:
 * We've intercepted several Bane communiques, but without one of their Decryption Devices we'll never break their encryption code. Would you be willing to help me obtain one?


 * In the last twenty four hours we've seen a marked rise in the number of high priority Bane transmissions, but we can't decipher them. I'm afraid the enemy is using a new encryption algorithm. It's more complex than anything we've encountered. We just can't break it! The enemy's high-ranking officers must be carrying portable decryption devices. If we can get our hands on one, we might be able to break the code.


 * Speak to Communications Officer McKinley, in the communications tent in the upper part of the outpost. He might be able to triangulate the source of intercepted transmissions and locate one of their decryptors.

Speak to Comm Officer McKinley.
Comm Officer McKinley:
 * I've been intercepting quite a few encrypted transmissions lately. In fact, one came through a few minutes ago. I can't make head or tails out of it, but it was sent to one of their Thrax officers.


 * Yeah, here it is. 'Preceptor Vorvaak.' Nearest I could tell, he was somewhere around Trinity Bridge. If you can find him, I'd lay odds he's got a decryptor on him!

Return to Devinchy.
Comm Officer Devinchy:
 * You got one of their decryption devices? Well done! Well done, indeed!


 * The General just intercepted a high priority transmission, and with this I should be able to decode it. If you torture data sufficiently, it will confess to almost anything...


 * There we are! I'm sending the data to General Bailey now.

Debriefing
Headquarters:
 * General Thaddeus T. Bailey here! We recieved the descrypted communique from Devinchy, and it's a real eye opener! Looks to me like the Bane are preparing a planetary assault. I'm talking the kind of invasion we saw on Earth! The target's not clear, but I'm betting dollars to donuts it's Foreas. We've got to take Maligo Base before that happens!


 * I'm impressed with your performance, soldier. When the time comes to assault the base, I'll be calling on you. In the meantime, keep your eyes open and your head down.

Preceptor Vorvaak (Thrax Soldier) wanders the Eloh Forum around coordinates -70, 535. Generally he spawns just in front (north) of the Eloh bridge to the east (of the three), but I have found him wandering on the south side of the bridge on occasion.
