+  setting it down and resting her head again.<br />
+  <span class="quote speech">Not sure if that makes it better or worse.

+  After a while, she lifts her head again.<br />
+  <span class="quote speech">So what&apos;s our mission?</span><br />
+  <span class="quote speech">Nothing. Uplink&apos;s dead.</span><br />

+  <span class="quote speech">Twenty-one-oh-six.</span><br />

+  <span class="quote speech">Nope. ... As for what happened to the uplink,
+  I can&apos;t tell you. I&apos;ve spent the past <span class="comment">
+  idk what amount of time</span> trapped in here.</span><br />
+  Jack recounts the recent events as well as some of the things he had read
+  about in the logs.

+<p class="comment">missing section</p>
+<p>
+  <span class="quote speech">Well, that could be why the uplink isn&apos;t
+  working...</span> Jack looks up and down and up again while Michelle
+  catches up to him. The path ends abruptly where a landslide had left
+  nothing but a cliff and a huge pile of rubble. At the top of the mountain,
+  teetering on the edge, are two buildings &ndash; all that&apos;s left of
+  the ground station. The rest of the buildings and the dish lay strewn
+  around in pieces down below.
