Blue Sunlight has partially overrun Brightling Core.  The academics are trying to get access to their central data archives: we'll need to facilitate this as well as keeping the number of hostiles down to a manageable level.

I'm sure you can do it - we must protect the university.

If we can get access to the data archives and shape portal, we may well be able to discover information that will assist in ridding us of this Blue Sunlight scourge.

We must retain control of the shape: it is the most important thing.

Tactics, using the shape portal is the most profound connection to the shape that a human can experience.  Merris has been using it for many years: only he has the necessary abilities to make full use of it.  If we can allow him enough time to make a good connection, he may provide information vital to our efforts.

Let's get to it.
