Erasmus say: I'm glad that you're happy to help with this. This is going to be a difficult quest. You will need to find several items all of which we will discuss, but some of which I am unsure of their location. Our primary concern is that Omnius does not manifest here nor anywhere else. In order to prevent his re-creation here, we must enter a virus into his program. I can do this, however, I will need a copy of the Omnius code. You can download this code which is resonating in space. You will need to find a downloader device and download it from the antennas on the roof. We cannot simply read this data however, its encrypted. Beowulf has the decoder somewhere, probably in his private vault. So you need to find the downloader, download Omnius, get the decoder and 'present devices' to me. After that I will have more instructions for you. You will be rewarded generously if you help me.
