CLUE There's no way to get beyond Deck Eight or the Reactor Lobby.
CLUE Really! There's no way.
HINT How can I get Blather to stop giving me demerits?
CLUE Scrub harder?
CLUE Don't worry too much; demerits aren't that important.
HINT What do I do about Lieutenant Measle?
CLUE All he wants is some information for your records.
CLUE Ahem. Lieutenant Measle???
HINT What should I do with the Ambassador?
CLUE Enjoy his company. He's just there to liven up the game opening.
HINT How can I get the translator from the Ambassador?

CLUE Did you find the handbook for programming autopilots?
CLUE How did you get to a nonexistent place?
CLUE Remember the warning in the introduction: Do not use the presence or absence of a question as an indication of what is important, and don't assume that long answers indicate important questions.
HINT How do I get out of the Brig?
CLUE The best way to get out is never to get thrown in.
CLUE If you don't upset Blather by leaving your post, you'll never get thrown in the Brig.
CLUE Once you're in the Brig, there's no way out.
HINT The Feinstein keeps blowing up! How can I prevent it?
CLUE It might be a malfunction in the Hyperspatial Jump Machinery Room.
CLUE Of course, since you can't enter that room, you'll never know.
CLUE There's no way to prevent it, and you won't find out until later what caused it. Best thing to do is try to survive the shipwreck.
HINT Is there any way to open the escape pod bulkhead?

HINT How do I cross the rift?
CLUE Jumping is a bad idea.
CLUE You'll need an item which you may not have seen yet.
CLUE It's behind the padlocked door.
CLUE Extend the ladder and put it across the rift.
HINT How can I see in the darkened areas?
CLUE You'll need a light source.
HINT What is the chemical dispenser for?
CLUE Have you tried pushing any of the buttons on it?
CLUE The flask can hold the chemical fluid.
CLUE The first seven buttons are obviously coolants and catalysts.
CLUE The two white buttons produce an acid and a base.
CLUE You'll need the coolants and catalysts for the Comm Room problem.
HINT What do I do with the acid and base?
CLUE Batteries are made out of acids and bases.
CLUE Have you run into any dangerous creatures? You might be able to use the acid or base as a weapon.
CLUE Actually, these two chemicals are totally useless.
HINT How do I reassemble the disassembled robots?
CLUE A repair robot might be of help.
CLUE Don't go on until you've repaired Achilles.

HINT Where do I find the key to the helicopter control panel cover?
CLUE Try reading the green spool using the microfilm reader.
CLUE According to the spool, the key would be in Transportation Supply.
HINT Where do I find the helicopter access card?
CLUE Try reading the green spool using the microfilm reader.
CLUE According to the spool, the card would be in Transportation Supply.
HINT How do I use the helicopter?
CLUE Unless you have the helicopter control panel key and the helicopter access card, don't read any further.
CLUE Use the key to open the control panel cover.
CLUE Use the access card to activate the controls.
CLUE Just tell your intended destination to the voice-controlled autopilot, then sit back and enjoy the trip.
CLUE It's hard to understand how you managed to get this far, considering the key and card don't exist.
HINT What destination should I select?
CLUE Where would you expect to find people?
CLUE A large city, perhaps?
CLUE Try the capital city of Resida, Pilandoor.
CLUE Don't you feel pretty silly, considering there's no way even to get the helicopter off the ground?
MENU The Shuttle Trip
LINK Where do I find the shuttle?
LINK How do I operate the shuttle?

HINT Where do I find the shuttle?
CLUE You need to use the lower elevator to get to it.
HINT How do I operate the shuttle?
CLUE You'll need the shuttle access card. By now you should know how to use these cards.
CLUE You can't operate the shuttle after 6000.
CLUE You can probably figure out that you want to be in the control cabin facing the set of tracks, not the one facing the blank wall.
HINT How do I use the shuttle controls?
CLUE First, activate the controls (see previous question).
CLUE Pushing the lever up into the "+" position causes the shuttle to accelerate. Pulling the lever down into the "-" position causes the shuttle to decelerate.
CLUE When the lever is in the central position, the shuttle will continue to move at its current velocity.
CLUE The digital display tells the current velocity of the shuttle.
HINT I keep crashing when I arrive at the other station.
CLUE You're going too fast. Decelerate sooner.
CLUE If you're going faster than 20 when you get to the far station, you'll be killed.
CLUE If you're going between 5 and 20, you will survive, but the shuttle will be damaged.

HINT What is the medicine in the Infirmary?
CLUE Read the label.
HINT How can I get through the small door in the Repair Room?
CLUE It's too small for you to get through.
CLUE It's "robot-sized."
CLUE Ask Floyd to go through the doorway. Type FLOYD, GO THROUGH DOORWAY.
HINT How can I open the cabinets in the Repair Room?
CLUE You'll have to repair Achilles first.
HINT How can I repair Achilles?
CLUE Waldo won't be of any help (unless you're playing SUSPENDED(tm)).
CLUE Try using the microfilm reader to read the brown spool.
CLUE The brown spool is in the Radiation Lab.
CLUE Unfortunately, there's no way to get the brown spool to the microfilm reader.
CLUE There is also no way to repair Achilles.
HINT Is there a good fromitz board anywhere?
CLUE Yes.
CLUE Have you been beyond the small door in the Repair Room?
CLUE You'll have to ask Floyd to get the good (shiny) fromitz board.
HINT Is there a good bedistor anywhere?
CLUE Yes.
CLUE It's in Storage East, just off Mech Corridor North. You're not doing a very good job of exploring and mapping if you missed it.
HINT What is the significance of Planetary Defense?
CLUE The library might tell you something.
CLUE Apparently, it is an automatic meteor defense. Perhaps this planetary system has a high meteor density.
CLUE The system's discrimination circuit seems to have failed.
CLUE This is probably why the Feinstein was destroyed. You'd better repair it.
CLUE Open the access panel.
CLUE Figure out which board is malfunctioning and remove it.
CLUE It's the second board. Take it and put the shiny fromitz board in the resulting empty socket.
HINT What is the significance of Course Control?
CLUE The library might tell you something about it.
CLUE Apparently, the entire planet was moved into a more favorable but less stable orbit. This system ensures that the planet stays in the proper orbit.
CLUE The course control system seems to be malfunctioning. If the planet is approaching its sun, that would explain the melting ice caps and the rise in sea level.
CLUE You'd better repair this system.
CLUE Try opening the cube and removing the fused bedistor.
CLUE You'll need a tool.
CLUE Use the pliers from the Tool Room to remove the fused bedistor.
CLUE Put the good bedistor into the cube.
HINT What is the significance of this second Physical Plant?
CLUE The most significant thing seems to be its size. It is larger than its counterpart in the Kalamontee Complex, even though the Lawanda Complex is slightly smaller.
CLUE Perhaps there is a large section of the Lawanda Complex that you haven't seen yet...
CLUE ...such as the cryo-chambers, buried deep underground.
HINT How do I use the computer terminal in the Library Lobby?
CLUE First, turn it on.
CLUE To select an item in the menu, use the TYPE command. For example, to select item 2, type TYPE 2.
CLUE Typing TYPE 0 returns you to the next highest menu level (except, of course, if you are at the Main Menu, which is the highest level).
HINT How do I use the microfilm reader?
CLUE It must be turned on.
CLUE The colored spools are spools of microfilm.
CLUE Put one in the opening in the reader.
HINT How do I summon the librarian?
CLUE You can't.
CLUE Really!

CLUE It runs the automated Project...
CLUE ...which is trying to find a cure for the Disease.
HINT What is the significance of the printout?
CLUE It appears that the Project was incredibly close to a successful conclusion.
CLUE Then the computer broke down.
CLUE If you've been in the Repair Room, you'll know that summoning the repair robot didn't help.
CLUE You'll have to fix the computer yourself.
CLUE Use the Miniaturization Booth.
HINT How does the Miniaturization Booth work?
CLUE You'll need the proper access card, of course.
CLUE It's in the Bio Lab.
CLUE Once you've activated the booth, type the damaged sector number.
CLUE Have you read the printout?
CLUE The damaged sector is 384. Type TYPE 384.
CLUE You will then be miniaturized and teleported into the damaged sector, where you can attempt to effect repairs.
HINT I've gotten to Station 384. What do I do now?
CLUE Explore around.
CLUE Have you seen and examined the relay?
CLUE You'll have to figure out a way to remove the speck.
CLUE Use the laser.
CLUE You must destroy the speck without harming the relay.
CLUE The dial must be set to 1, so that the beam will pass harmlessly through the red translucent exterior of the relay.
CLUE You'll have to shoot the speck a number of times to destroy it.
HINT Is there any way to communicate with the giant spider?
CLUE Yes.
CLUE Play STARCROSS.(tm)
CLUE >>This space intentionally left blank<<
HINT How do I get past the giant microbe?
CLUE Try shooting it with the laser.
CLUE That won't have any effect while the laser is set to 1, of course.
CLUE If you don't keep shooting the microbe, it will get close enough to eat you.
CLUE Repeated shootings of the microbe merely hold it at bay, and sooner or later you're killed when sector 384 comes to life.
CLUE Has the microbe shown interest in anything besides you?
CLUE The microbe is attracted to the warmth of the laser.
CLUE When the laser gets warm enough, throw it over the edge of the strip, into the void below. The microbe will leap after it.
HINT How do I get back from the strip area?
CLUE Go to Station 384.
HINT How do I get out of the Lab Office?
CLUE Opening the door right off isn't a healthy idea.
CLUE There are some buttons on the wall...

CLUE Have you opened the desk?
CLUE Put on the gas mask, then press the red button.
CLUE Then, move fast. You don't have a millichron to spare.
HINT The mutants are loose and they're after me!!! How do I get rid of them?
CLUE You can't kill them.
CLUE There's only one way to lose them.
CLUE You're very close to the end of the game.
CLUE Did you hear an announcement?
CLUE Remember the mural?
CLUE Go to the ProjCon Office.
CLUE Go south into the elevator and push the button.
