Curator Given's terminal[]

Welcome to ROBCO Industries (TM) Termlink
Given's Log 5/3[]
It's getting more and more difficult, but we were able to get a hold of a few more books today. While I was scanning them in I overheard Dalen telling Shelby that we should just compress the archives now and get out of here. I thought about smacking him up-side his fucking head, but...I don't blame him for wanting to cut and run. It's been tough, and we've lost so many. But, it's all worth it, right? I mean, if we don't protect the knowledge stored on these machines, who will?
Given's Log 5/21[]
I told them they could leave whenever they wanted to. I'm not going to force them to stay. If they don't believe in what we're doing here then it's better if they just get out of our way. If we don't collect everything then what's the point?
Given's Log 6/18[]
We've lost a few more, including Shelby. She will be missed, but I know she wouldn't have had it any other way. What we're doing here is important. There are still a lot of books left. This knowledge will help all future generations. It's up to us to keep pressing on.
Given's Log 8/5[]
I can't keep the bots repaired anymore. The mutants are hitting us at least once a day. Unless we get help it's only a matter of time before they wipe us out completely. This may be the last log I write. If it is, all I ask is that the person reading this does the right thing. Help us protect the information stored on the computers in the data room.
The key to the storage room is behind this terminal. There are some supplies you may find useful there. Please, only use them if you are going to further our cause.

.//READ_ME[]
My hunch was right. S.N.O.W. was here, and it wasn't the only one. The place looks like it was fed through a particle splitter, but for some reason it's quiet now.
To find out where it's gone, I'll need to re-run the program it installed into the library network. Unfortunately S.N.O.W. seems to have found a way to encrypt the executable and split the key across a number of terminals in the library. I'd be horrified if I wasn't so impressed.
I've installed my decryption software into the library OS, but it'll need to be run in the right sequence to work. So far I've learned the encryption has four parts spread out over four terminals. I could try going through every possible combination but time is of the essence.
One thing I've noticed is that the serial numbers on the terminals have changed. I've labeled them terminals 1, 2, 3, 5, 7, and 9 based on those serials.
Four of those are primes. Which is noteworthy, because one of the earliest things I taught the program was the concept of prime numbers. I'd feed it a number and ask it to name the closest prime. I have an eerie feeling this is S.N.O.W. playing the same game with me.
In any case, I think I can puzzle out the password based on the following ruleset:
1) The combination is four numbers, comprised entirely of primes.
2) The combination itself is a prime number.
3) The combination is the smallest possible number based on the above rules.
Hopefully I can get the data before whoever wrecked this place returns.
