S'krllk goes to work at the door, which will take a minute... (Security Lock level 4.)
At Desi's suggestion, you look at the monitors as well.
Hammer goes to the computers. (I think he is the highest level on computers, but correct me if I am mistaken.) He finds:
The missile's "mission" is to travel to Kraatar and explode the warhead in the upper atmosphere.
Its "function" is to approach Kraatar at maximum acceleration and then decelerate, to avoid burning up in the atmosphere.
The missile has a Level 4 Robot Guidance System.
As shown on the map, following the security locked door is a small corridor, followed by a door to the missile silo room. That door is a blast door that would need to be forced open.
Hammer finds that a technician may be able to drain the rocket's fuel back into the fuel tanks, which will prevent the missile's launch. It will require the defenses to be deactivated (Level 4), and will require 10 minutes to drain sufficient fuel to prevent the missile's launch.
(Each attempt to drain the fuel will take 1 minute of effort.)
If you attempt to destroy the missile, keep in mind that it will spread the virus into Artemis, which could result in your deaths--at least any Vrusk.
S'krllk cries out in surprise as he easily disables the security lock to the door leading toward the silo.
Overhead, the loudspeaker drones out, "ELEVEN MINUTES TO LAUNCH."
You can see in the security monitors that guards are alerted to your presence. They seem to be going toward the cars and the terminus to approach you, though it will take a few minutes to cross the span as you did, and they can only do so in small groups.
______________________________
As a reminder, the virus that the warhead will release is genetically engineered to affect only Vrusk, killing off all Vrusk inhabitants of Kraatar.
This is the plot of the KLC, led by Legrange. You saw Legrange murdered in front of you, but later discovered he is actually alive and somewhere on Artemis. Unfortunately, Legrange's superior intellect is also necessary for you to help decipher the Sphere and the connection to the Qantariate and the Shadows of Rakon.
With his environmental and science background, Hammer can quickly tell you that the virus is likely to interact with oxygen and threaten all life on the planet, not just the Vrusk. It would be even more deadly if released in the small confines of Artemis where you are at, likely killing all of you if you do not escape in time (assuming it explodes in Artemis).
