Default Another Phal rescue - what do you think of these roots?

Fingers crossed guys...

I went in to find another orchid that might curb my frustration with growing them. I was sadly disappointed.

This one had a clearish pot with good drainage inside another dark pot, so I was able to see bright green roots with pale healthy-looking tips through it. I thought I was in luck.

I wanted her our of moss and into bark chips, and when I pulled her out, things didn't look good. Mind you, this one looks better than my first two, so I have some hope, but I'm not holding my breath.

I'm particularly worried about the roots that look healthy at the ends, but have bends or breaks further up the root that are darker green to brownish in colour. Will these roots come back, or should I just lop them off above the break in hopes they'll bud out a new shoot?

Any ideas on how to proceed?
