This walkthrough is highly preliminary (note version number). All is disclaimed. I still have to go through the CDROM version of the game a few times. NOTE: It is rather difficult to write a detailed walkthrough when all of the det ails (Puzzles, Combat, Cyber, Mission) will be different for each user. Please t ry to keep this in mind. If you have all of the above set to Difficulty level 2 or 3, things should happen exactly as described here.

This will lower lev el security. Doors/switches etc. that say "blocked by level security" will all w ork when level security = 0% (and some will open when security drops to around 1 0%). On most levels is a Cyborg Conversion chamber. A switch nearby will reconfigure it to heal you when you are killed, instead of turning you into a Cyborg. Some lit panels flat on the floor are elevators. Step on them to activate. These
are abundant on Level 1, so keep an eye out for them. Each Cyberspace Terminal leads to a different enclosed area. You will have to co mplete the area for each different Cyberspace Terminal that you find. If a door is "broken beyond repair", you cannot ever get through. Some elevators will not operate ("shut down due to ...") until certain tasks are complete. If you are stuck, it is because you have failed to: A) Explore all accessible areas of all levels that you can get to. B) Conquer all accessible areas of Cyberspace for access codes and computer-lock ed door switches. C) Read all of your E-mail and Logs for clues. The other folks on the station ha d several plans that they were trying to accomplish to defeat Shodan, maybe you could complete some of their missions for them. Some levels cannot be completed on your first pass. You will have to continue up to other levels and come back later. No level is ever completely "clear" of enemies. They continue to reappear. Alway s be on your guard. The free Energy and Health cheats do not work in the CD-ROM version. STANDARD DESCRIPTION FORMAT: (to describe puzzles and levels) LEVELS: (The following codes will be used throughout to designate levels) LR - Reactor level L1 - Hospital level (you start here) L2 - Research level L3 - Maintenance level L4 - Storage level L5 - Flight deck L6 - Executive level / Crew Facilities G1 - Alpha Grove G2 - Beta Grove G4 - Delta Grove L7 - Engineering level L8 - Security level L9 - Bridge WIRE ACCESS PANELS: Contacts are numbered from top to bottom Example: 1 X----X 1 This would be: 2 X-\ X 2 3 X \-X 3 1-1, 2-3, 5-5 4 X X 4 5 X----X 5 On higher Puzzle settings the wires may be color coded, on lower settings they m ay be all the same color. Either way, the solution is the same. Just ignore the color information stated in the solutions below if the wires are all the same co lor. GRID ACCESS PANELS: Example: A B C D E F ------------1 | + + X + + + | Flip the following co-ordinates: 2 | X + X X X X | 3 | + + | B1, D1, A3, E3, B6, D6 4 | X + X X X X | 5 | + + X + + + | ------------Some GRID ACCESS PANELS may have different solutions depending on the difficulty level that you have chosen for these puzzles (0 - 3). There are only 2 possibil ities. Save your game before trying any of the solutions listed below, so that i f one does not work, you can Restore your game and try the other. There seems to
be some degree of randomness to which puzzle you will asked to solve (regardles s of what the Official Clue Book says). Also note that each puzzle may have many possible solutions. The ones listed her e will work, but you may find others that work also. DIFFICULTY SETTINGS of Note: COMBAT = 0: Enemies do initiate an attack. PUZZLES = 0: Keypad access panels are almost all open (except Escape Pods) You d o not need any Access Cards You don't ever have to finish level 3 (no Relay to r epair) MISSION = 3: You have 7 hours to beat the game (good luck, you'll need it). On a ny other setting, there is no time limit. QUESTS: * - indicates what you absolutely gotta have. % - indicates optional ventures, sometimes worth the reward. >T< - indicates actions that cannot be completed initially, you will have to come back to that level later, as plot events unfold.

There are only 3 operational Surgery Machines in the game. To get X-22 Isotope, there is a button on the wall in the same room. It kind of blends into the wall, so look carefully. You can't get to level 6 until the Laser has been destroyed. You can't finish level 3 until after all 3 grove "Jettison Enable" switches insi de the groves have been flipped and the "Jettison Enable Master Control" switch (all on level 6) has been tried. You can't get to level 7 until Beta Grove is jettisoned. You can't destroy the Reactor until you have destroyed the Antennae on L7, and y ou have received authorization from Earth to scuttle the station. You can't get to level 8 until Reactor has been set to destruct. It will open wh en you touch it. You do not neccesarily need to visit the Escape Pods on level 5 . To get Reactor Destruct Code, there is a screen in the same room as the computer nodes on each level from L1 to L6. Each screen has a single numeric digit on it , which keeps changing until the nodes are destroyed. Collect all six in order f rom L1 to L6. Note that these screens cannot be destroyed (for those of you who are a bit too trigger-happy). DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF LEVELS: -----------------------------LEVEL R (Reactor level): (You will not be able to get here until you have comple ted levels 1 and 2) Notes: It will be very difficult complete level R until you have a good Enviro-S uit.

When you enter this level from the elevator from level 2, take a left down the hallway and open the first door on your left, then head up a ladder. HINT: The Lantern v1 found on this level will help you to see those pesky invisible mutants. When you enter this level from the elevator from level 2, take a left down the hallway and go to the end, then take a right (north) and walk down the next hallway to the first door on the left. You will also find the remains of Abe Ghiran here. You notice that the eyes are remarkably undamaged on his severed head. Note: Relay Analyzer (north central) is used to locate the faulty relay. As
you explore, you will find some relay panels. Remeber the number and then go back and punch it in to the Relay Analyzer to determine if it needs repair, and to find out what to do if it does. This part of your mission cannot be completed until you have conquered level 6 and the Maintenance Doors open. Note: To get past the Retina Scanner you just need to find a severed head on this level that is still in good shape. Pick them up and put them in your inventory to examine them. Note: The locked maintenance doors on this level ("No maintenance required") will not open until you are almost done with level 6.

You will still have to do some fancy jumping here. Hint: In the storage room with the locked force door and repulsors there are two switches high up on the wall that need to be flipped. Flip the first switch to enable the repulsor in the other corner. From the second repulsor, you can jump to the next corner (booster skates help). The repulsor pads on the wall with the force door are only operational near the ceiling (as indicated by the symbols on the walls). Jump Boots are very handy here, but not necessary.

Hint: In Flight Bay 4, there is an opening up on the wall that you will have to use your Jump Boots to get to. I found it easier to get there by climbing across from the raised ledge nearby than from trying to climb straight up from the floor of the flight bay. Hint: In Flight Bay 4 are two force bridges. One is activated by a switch, the other activated by pressing the right buttons on the large angled panel on the floor of the bay. Hit the buttons from left to right: ON ON OFF ON ON OFF. There is no way to get all of the bridge segments on, you will still have to jump at least one gap.

Head southeast to get there. NOTE: The switch to disable the force field in the ceiling of the entry area (protecting that last Camera) is at the southeast edge by a screen (which shows the force field). NOTE: The switch to allow entry to Beta lobby elevator is in the southeast
by a screen which shows this door. This door can also be unlocked in Cyberspace. NOTE: To jettison Beta Grove: First, visit all three groves and flip the "Jettison Enable" switch in each (in Beta Grove, keep to the right to get there quickest). Then try the "Jettison Enable Master Control" in the southwest. You should be informed that a relay has burnt out somewhere. Go back to level 3 and fix. Then try the Master control again (it should work). Now go back to the lobby of Beta grove and flip the "Beta Jettison" switch. If a whole bunch of nasties are waiting for you when you try this, you are on the right track. Stuff: Biological Systems Monitor v2 (south edge by Computer Nodes) MM-76 Accelerator Rail Gun (west) Infrared Night Sight v1 (Delta grove lobby) Target Identifier v3 (northwest) Cyborg Conversion (south central) ADMinistration access card (northeast) GROVES: G1 (Alpha): "Jettison Enable" switch in southeast RW-45 Ion Rifle - northwest, in briefcase Target Identifier v4 - southwest, behind shrub G2 (Beta): "Jettison Enable" in southeast - just keep to the right Jump Jet boots v2 (northeast) Navigation & Mapping Unit v3 (southwest edge) G4 (Delta): "Jettison Enable" switch to the west.

LEVEL 8 (Security level): 3 Energy Charge Stations 1 Cyberspace Terminal (south edge) NOTE: Solve puzzles in 3 different areas to access the force bridges. Cyberspace: Note from Rebecca Military Cybersapce Lock for doors (only in CD-ROM version) TriopToe Game (only in CD-ROM version) NOTE: There is no Cyborg Conversion chamber on this level (don't die here) NOTE: After clearing out central area, head northwest and take lift. Clear all areas here and you will end up in the south area where you will find the Computer Nodes. Blow these to reduce level security (some stuff that was blocked by level security will now be accessible). Continue around the circle on the upper areas of the level and you will end up in the northern area again where the force bridge control is found. Now you can head into the central tower and up to the Bridge. NOTE: The COMmand access card gives you SECurity access as well. Stuff: Group-B access card (offices at northwest edge) Shield v3 (offices at northwest edge) MM-76 Rail Gun (west edge) Plasma Rifle (west edge in room labeled "Experimental", press button) Enviro-suit v3 (west edge) COMmand access card (west edge, on corpse in room labeled "Interrogation") RF-07 Skorpion (south) Computer Nodes (south) Lantern v3 (center and southeast) (2 of 'em) LEVEL 9 (Bridge): 4 Energy Charge Stations 1 Cyberspace Terminal 1 Hidden door Wire access Panels: All Red 1-4, Blue 3-2, Violet 2-3, Yellow 4-1 Stuff: Isolinear Chipset (east area, in cage) Computer Program Entry panel Circuit Board Slot (west area, past force doors) Sensaround Multi-view Unit v3 (northwest) Shield v4 (north edge) Nav/Mapping Unit v3 (northeast edge) Jump Jet boots v3 (northeast edge) Target Identifier v4 (south) NOTE: You must solve wire access puzzles in three different areas of this level to lower the 3 force doors blocking the Computer Program Entry panel. Insert Isolinear Chipset into panel to open the central core area. NOTE: The isolinear Chipset is in a tiny cage. Hit button on wall nearby to activate teleporter. TASKS: 1) Disable Laser
* Get X-22 Isotope from L2 (southwest). There is a button on the wall next to it to lower the force field. * 'Use' Isotope on panel at Shield Generator on Level R (southwest) * Enter Laser Override Code (199) on Level R (west) * Fire Laser on level 2 (central area) - this action will enable the elevators to level 6. 2) Jettison Beta Grove on level 6 * Activate "Jettison Enable" buttons in each of the three remaining groves (G1, G2 , G4). In Beta Grove (G2) keep to the right. * Flip "Jettison Enable Master Control" in extreme southwest. * Return to level 3 and finish (maintenance doors will now open). Find Relay 428 and repair with an Interface Demodulator. * Flip "Jettison Enable Master Control" switch on level 6 again. * Push "Beta Jettison" button in lobby of Beta Grove. - this action will enable the elevator to level 7. 3) Destroy antennae * "Use" Plastique (4 units) that you found on level 4 on the antenna panels. Mak e sure that you are far away when they go off. One of antenna traps you with a f orce door, and you die (so make sure that the Cyborg Conversion chamber for this level has been found and fixed before you try this). There are ways to survive this if you are clever. 4) Destroy the reactor (and entire station) * Collect the 6 digits for the Reactor code on levels 1 thru 6. On each level is a screen showing one digit. These screens are always found in the same room as the Computer Nodes, and cannot be destroyed. When you recieve authorizatiom from Earth to scuttle the station (after destroying the 4 antenna on L7) go down to level R and enter the core of the Reactor (which until this point is blocked by gratings). Activate the Repulsor lift to rise to the controls. On the keypad you find there, enter the first three digits (from L1 to L3), and then the second s et of three digits (from L4 to L6), and then throw the large switch next to the keypad. * Zip up to level 5 and hop into an escape pod (code 001). Be warned that there will be nasties all along the way to stop you (this step is optional). - this action will open that first locked door on level 8. You have to bump into it to make it open. 5) Destroy Shodan * Find Isolinear Chipset and "use" it on the Computer Program Entry panel to gai n access to the central area. * Battle Shodan in Cyberspace. If the battle ends and you just get a still shot of Shodan's face - you lost (try again). Shodan is a large gray cone-shaped thin g an an area of Cyberspace on level 9. This area is off to the side of the main current flow, so if you just let the current carry you, you won't find it. Explo re. Start blasting away as soon as you find her. She will immediately make it just a bout impossible for you to control your movement, and at the same time start obs curing your vision pixel by pixel. If you don't nail her by the time the screen is completely filled in, you lose. I found that the only solution is to just con tinually fire my Pulser as fast as I could (whether or not I had her lined up in my sights at the time). NOTES: There is a lot of variability in the items that you find when searching dead foe s. If you fight a battle and Save your game before searching the dead foes, you can then search the bodies and if you don't like what you find.. just re-Load an d re-search. This is particularly handy on Level 1, ... just Save before you sea rch a dead human, and then re-Load and re-search until it coughs up a SparqBeam weapon (sure beats that old Lead Pipe when you are just starting out). Retina Scan - on level 3 there is a door that requires a retina scan. You must f ind the severed head of Abe Ghiran (found in west area of level 3). Virus Mutants on level 2 - These mutants are behind a force field, and will be r
eleased automatically when you reach the correct point in the game. Nothing you can do until then. (Trigger is jettison of Beta Grove on L6). Elevators don't work - you will get a message that elevator power is being diver ted somewhere. After completeing the appropriate task (usually resulting in the destruction of the 'somewhere'that the power was diverted to) the elevator will be enabled. Dermal patches have side effects - example: using a Sight patch will work for a while, but afterwards your sight will be poorer than originally, and application of further Sight patches will not work. Use a 'Detox' patch to remove side effe cts from other patches as well as to recover from radiation damage in "hot" area s. Broken doors - some doors are 'broken beyond repair'. There is nothing that you can do. Maintenance doors on Level 3 - are locked and give you the message that 'no main tenance required'. They will open after you have first attempted to flip the 'Je ttison Enable Master Control' on level 6 (after flipping the 'Jettison Enable' s witches in each of the 3 groves on level 6). You will just have to come back lat er. Reactor destruct code is different for each game that you play. Each Cyberspace terminal leads to a seperate enclosed area. You may be able to s ee some of the other areas, but cannot reach them until you get to the appropria te terminal. Each time that you enter Cyber- space, you have only a fixed amount of time before Shodan detects you and wipes you out. If you are killed in Cyber space (Integrity Failure) the next time you enter your total time will be reduce d. You may wish to Save your game before entering, and practice until you can cl ear out an area and leave via a normal exit. Then Save again and go back for the rest of the stuff. Edward Diego (the Cyborg version) will teleport away when you have injured him s ufficiently during your first two encounters. The third time is a charm. Play all of those cool Games you picked up in Cyberspace !! (Note that using a R eflex patch will greatly increase your luck). You only need to use 1 Interface Demodulator and 4 chunks of Plastique to comple te the game. Turbo Booster - select the Booster and then Select 'Item'. You will see that the re are two settings for the Booster ("Skate" and "Boost"). The 'Skate' setting w ill allow your jumps to be higher and farther. The 'Boost' setting greatly incre ases your top speed, but is very difficult to control. Jumping - use your Turbo Booster on the 'Skate' setting (see above) to greatly e nhance your jumping ability. Re-generating Autobombs. There are two places in the game (one in a hallway on l evel 7, and another in a maze area on level 9) where the Autobombs are constantl y generated. No matter how many you shoot, there will always be more. Antenna trap on level 7 - The southern antenna has a force door which closes beh ind you, trapping you in the explosion. There is an Access Panel behind the door which is exposed when the door closes. The problem is that you do not have the time to solve it. There are several ways around this: A) Switch the Cyborg Conversion chamber to ressurect you. After you are killed i n the exposion, you are brought back to life. * Not the most elegant solution. B) Crawl back behind the antenna pedastel (to the side opposite the Plastique) a nd crouch down. You should take minimal damage. * Not the most realistic scenario. C) Use a Logic Probe on the panel (be quick !) D) Use a Reflex Patch to speed things up (be quick !) E) Use a combination of C) and D). The face on all of the screens is that of the infamous Edward Diego urging all s tation personnel to join him. "Robot Production Cancelled" switch on level 2 - this switch disables the furthe r generation of Hoppers on this level.

This will automatically point out hidde n doors for you, as well as some other things that you may have overlooked. Free energy: Turn on your shield and lantern. Now click to activate your Turbo M otion Booster System ("Booster") and click it off. You should get a message indi cating a very low, or zero, energy drain. If you get a low reading (not zero), c lick Booster on and off one more time. You should now have full shield and lante rn with no energy drain at all. NOTE: energy weapons, enviro-suit, and jump boot s will still drain your power when you use them. (Disabled in the CDROM version) . More free energy and health: Always carry a battery (regular or I-CAD) and a Fir st Aid Kit. Throw the battery on the ground in front of you and move close (so t hat it appears to be fairly large). Then "use" the First Aid Kit on the battery. Or (conversely) throw the First Aid Kit on the ground and "use" the battery on it. It works ! You now only need 1 battery, and 1 First Aid Kit! Make sure that you have turned off the Multi-Function Display to get a clear shot at the target that you have placed on the floor, and that you have adjusted your position and viewing angle to maximize the apparent size of your target. (Disabled in CDROM version). Free Light - Hit 'Escape' key and select options menu. Adjust the 'Gamma Correct ion' to get all the brightness that you need. Access panels: All you need is 1 (one) Logic Probe. Go up to the panel and Save your game. Now use Logic Probe to solve the puzzle. Write down the solution. Res tore game and you know the solution. All you ever need to carry around is just o ne Logic Probe. BUGS: Sound cards: Edit the 'CYB.CFG'. The most common problem is an incorrect sound c ard base address. The file expects the address to be entered in decimal (not hex ). Thus address 220H is really 544.
"Could not load palette" - this error message indicates that you do not have eno ugh buffers and/or files available to be opened at one time in your 'autoexec.ba t' file. Change to 'Buffers = 30' and 'Files = 40'. "Don't salt the fries" - see above about Files/Buffers. This message also could mean that there is a problem with your Sound card or your Video card (among othe r things). Check the CYB.CFG file to be sure that it has the proper defaults for your system. If using SMARTDRV, use the "C" option to disable the write-back cache (may preve nt frequent lock-ups). You may recieve an E-mail from Parovski after she is already dead. "Military Level Cyberspace Lock" doors on level 8 will never open if you have th e Floppy disk version of the game. This is a known bug, and is fixed in the CD-R OM release. Cannot put any more messages on map ('Cannot place message'). I found that if I delete a previous message, and then get out of map mode,.. sometimes it's fixed when I try to place more messages,.. sometimes not! Mouse calibration un-calibrates when reloading Save games. You will find yoursel f drifting backwards even when not touching the mouse. Just quit the game (back to DOS) and restart. Save game files corrupted during save. You either need to increase free Base mem ory, or total memory. This problem only seems to occur if you have the CD-ROM ve rsion and are using the high-resolution graphics options. I found that increasin g Base Memory to above 610K free, OR increasing total memory to above 10 Megabyt es solves the problem (regardless of what it says in the manual). With 612K free and 8M total, or 550K free and 10M total, it worked fine for me at any graphics resolution (no "ObSys error"). You might want to consider following the advice in the manual to create a special Boot Floppy. CD-ROM VERSION: Can't use free energy/health tricks (oh well) Your choice of 320x200, 320x400, 640x400, 640x480 graphics (though you may have to wait for the '686 and 64-bit local bus to arrive to use the higher resolution s in full-screen mode). Very pretty. Full speech for E-mail and Logs. Well done. Adds a whole new dimension. slightly improved Intro, Endgame, and cut-scenes Overall, very cool. After I get my 686DX2/200 system it should be even cooler. G reat re-playability. UNANSWERED QUESTIONS: Is there any sure-fire way to eliminate the 'Cannot place message' error you som etimes get when trying to place messages on the map?
