The War Table chimes with an incoming message, but the screen is scrambled and corrupted…

The message blinks off the viewscreen, but as it does, you notice your Vexcalibur humming with a strange resonance.

It whirs softly, as though priming itself for battle…

Transcript

The following is a verbatim transcription of an official document for archival reasons. As the original content is transcribed word-for-word, any possible discrepancies and/or errors are included.

As before, the viewscreen on the War Table flickers as it displays a corrupted message…

***INCOMING TRRRRRRRR//***
<transmission sender fffFFFORCED VERIFICATION

<message>

The message vanishes, but you get the distinct impression the Vexcalibur can now interface with the restrictive access gates you encountered in the AVALON node…
