What seemed like a console turned out to be some sort of cyborg in shut down mode. It seems oddly helpful, in a my-logic-circuits-were-bashed-out kind of way.

You've gained 1 x BEM (new total 29 - Thing from Beyond).

Stage a Daring Raid

An almost impossible challenge

If you can get past their security, invisibility screens, elite guards and discorporation-cannons, you can probably find out why they're here.

Probe Their Thoughts

A modest challenge

The aliens inside no doubt think about what they're doing occaisonally.

Hack into the Security System

A modest challenge

It can't be that good of a cloaking device if you managed to stumble across it.

Just Knock on the Observation Window

Maybe they're friendly.

They have a tradition at this base. The grand tradition of enslaving intruders whom no one will miss.

You've gained 4 x BEM (new total 34 - Thing from Beyond).

BEM 30 failed in a challenge! (When you try a challenge that's difficult for you, you learn more even when you fail.)
