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
details (Puzzles, Combat, Cyber, Mission) will be different for each user.
Please try 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.

Hint Sheet: (designed not to give away too much)
* Always destroy all Cameras and Computer Nodes that you find. This will
lower level security. Doors/switches etc. that say "blocked by level
security" will all work when level security = 0% (and some will open when
security drops to around 10%).
* 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 complete 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-locked door switches.
C) Read all of your E-mail and Logs for clues. The other folks on the
station had 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. Always 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
may 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 color.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
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 possibilities. Save your game before trying any of the solutions listed
below, so that if 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 (regardless of what the Official Clue Book says).
Also note that each puzzle may have many possible solutions. The ones listed
here 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
do not need any Access Cards You don't ever have to finish level 3 (no Relay
to repair)
MISSION = 3: You have 7 hours to beat the game (good luck, you'll need it). On
any other setting, there is no time limit.

FAQ's: >>> SPOILER ALERT <<< DO NOT READ !!!!!
* 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 inside 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 you 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 when 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 from L1 to L6. Note that these screens cannot be
destroyed (for those of you who are a bit too trigger-happy).

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
LEVEL 3 (Maintenance level):
2 Energy Charge Stations (one has dangling cables that will hurt you)
Computer Node: Off central hallways by Maintenance Office
Wire access Panels:
Central Red 1-5, Blue 3-2, Green 5-3, Violet 2-1, Yellow 4-4
Stuff:
Lantern v1 (west)
Sensaround v2 (northeast)
Navigation & mapping unit v2 (east)
Environment Suit v2 (southeast in Maintenance Office)
Laser Rapier (south - from elevator, 1st door on left, up ladder)
Interface Demodulators (east) (you only need one of these)
Cyborg Conversion (southwest)
Relay 428 (west)
HINT: The Laser Rapier found on this level is the most effective weapon on
those irritating Invisible Mutants. 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.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
LEVEL 4 (Storage level):
2 Energy Charge Stations
2 Hidden Doors
Computer Nodes: Through Iris door just north of Freight Elevator

Turbo Booster v2 (central)
Jump Boots v1 (southwest)
Flechette (southwest)
Riot gun (central) (worthless)
Cyborg conversion (southeast)
Plastique (northwest, through force bridges area)
Computer nodes (east - through iris door)
Hint: In the large storage room with suspended walkways, there is a button
hidden under a crate that will enable force bridges. 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.

FD 2 3 (Iris door to) D1, D3
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.

Storage closet lock (by elevator to L7)
Beta Grove elevator door lock
NOTE: All of the important stuff is in the southwest (Beta quadrant). 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)

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)

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.
Make sure that you are far away when they go off. One of antenna traps you
with a force 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 set 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
gain 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 thing 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. Explore.
Start blasting away as soon as you find her. She will immediately make it
just about impossible for you to control your movement, and at the same time
start obscuring 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 continually 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 foes. 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 and re-search. This is particularly handy on Level 1,
... just Save before you search 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 find 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 released 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 diverted 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 effects from other patches as well as to
recover from radiation damage in "hot" areas.
* 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 maintenance required'. They will open after you have first attempted
to flip the 'Jettison Enable Master Control' on level 6 (after flipping
the 'Jettison Enable' switches in each of the 3 groves on level 6). You
will just have to come back later.
* 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 see some of the other areas, but cannot reach them until you get
to the appropriate 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 Cyberspace (Integrity Failure) the next time you
enter your total time will be reduced. You may wish to Save your game
before entering, and practice until you can clear 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 sufficiently 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 Reflex patch will greatly increase your luck).
* You only need to use 1 Interface Demodulator and 4 chunks of Plastique
to complete the game.
* Turbo Booster - select the Booster and then Select 'Item'. You will see
that there are two settings for the Booster ("Skate" and "Boost"). The
'Skate' setting will allow your jumps to be higher and farther. The
'Boost' setting greatly increases your top speed, but is very difficult to
control.
* Jumping - use your Turbo Booster on the 'Skate' setting (see above) to
greatly enhance your jumping ability.
* Re-generating Autobombs. There are two places in the game (one in a
hallway on level 7, and another in a maze area on level 9) where the
Autobombs are constantly 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 behind 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 in 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) and 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 station personnel to join him.
* "Robot Production Cancelled" switch on level 2 - this switch disables
the further generation of Hoppers on this level.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
CHEATS:
* Use 'Alt-H' to turn on the on-line help. This will automatically point
out hidden 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 Motion Booster System ("Booster") and click it off. You should get a
message indicating a very low, or zero, energy drain. If you get a low
reading (not zero), click Booster on and off one more time. You should now
have full shield and lantern with no energy drain at all. NOTE: energy
weapons, enviro-suit, and jump boots 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 First Aid Kit. Throw the battery on the ground in front of you and
move close (so that 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
Correction' 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. Restore game and you know the solution. All you ever need to
carry around is just one Logic Probe.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
BUGS:
* Sound cards: Edit the 'CYB.CFG'. The most common problem is an incorrect
sound card 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 enough buffers and/or files available to be opened at one time in
your 'autoexec.bat' 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 other 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 prevent 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 the Floppy disk version of the game. This is a known bug, and is
fixed in the CD-ROM 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
yourself 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 memory, or total memory. This problem only seems to occur if you have
the CD-ROM version and are using the high-resolution graphics options. I
found that increasing Base Memory to above 610K free, OR increasing total
memory to above 10 Megabytes 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 resolutions 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. Great re-playability.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
UNANSWERED QUESTIONS:
* Is there any sure-fire way to eliminate the 'Cannot place message' error
you sometimes get when trying to place messages on the map?
* Note to myself: check out rumor that if you collect one beverage
container from each level and then type in "SALT THE FRIES" when on level
9,.. something interesting happens.

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
details (Puzzles, Combat, Cyber, Mission) will be different for each user.
Please try 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.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Hint Sheet: (designed not to give away too much)
* Always destroy all Cameras and Computer Nodes that you find. This will
lower level security. Doors/switches etc. that say "blocked by level
security" will all work when level security = 0% (and some will open when
security drops to around 10%).
* 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 complete 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-locked door switches.
C) Read all of your E-mail and Logs for clues. The other folks on the
station had 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. Always 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

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
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
may 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 color.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
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 possibilities. Save your game before trying any of the solutions listed
below, so that if 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 (regardless of what the Official Clue Book says).
Also note that each puzzle may have many possible solutions. The ones listed
here 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
do not need any Access Cards You don't ever have to finish level 3 (no Relay
to repair)
MISSION = 3: You have 7 hours to beat the game (good luck, you'll need it). On
any other setting, there is no time limit.

FAQ's: >>> SPOILER ALERT <<< DO NOT READ !!!!!
* 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 inside 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 you 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 when 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 from L1 to L6. Note that these screens cannot be
destroyed (for those of you who are a bit too trigger-happy).

those irritating Invisible Mutants. 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.

LEVEL 4 (Storage level):
2 Energy Charge Stations
2 Hidden Doors
Computer Nodes: Through Iris door just north of Freight Elevator
Codes: 838 - Southeast
Grid Access Panels: 1, 2, 3
-------------
A2,B2,F2,D5,G3
Stuff:
Enviro-suit v1 (southeast - past door with Keypad access)
Target Identifier v2 (north edge & west, there are two of them)
Turbo Booster v2 (central)
Jump Boots v1 (southwest)
Flechette (southwest)
Riot gun (central) (worthless)
Cyborg conversion (southeast)
Plastique (northwest, through force bridges area)
Computer nodes (east - through iris door)
Hint: In the large storage room with suspended walkways, there is a button
hidden under a crate that will enable force bridges. 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.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
LEVEL 5 (Flight Deck):
3 Energy Charge Stations
1 Cyberspace Terminal
2 Hidden Doors

-------------
Flight Deck 2 3 (Main) E1, E3
FD 2 3 (Iris door from) E1, E3
FD 2 3 (Iris door to) D1, D3
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.
Stuff:

Recall
Turbo Navigation Booster software (ICE)
Games v2 (ICE) (Eel Zapper)
Storage closet lock (by elevator to L7)
Beta Grove elevator door lock
NOTE: All of the important stuff is in the southwest (Beta quadrant). 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)

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)

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.
Make sure that you are far away when they go off. One of antenna traps you
with a force 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 set 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
gain 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 thing 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. Explore.
Start blasting away as soon as you find her. She will immediately make it
just about impossible for you to control your movement, and at the same time
start obscuring 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 continually 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 foes. 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 and re-search. This is particularly handy on Level 1,
... just Save before you search 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 find 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 released 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 diverted 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 effects from other patches as well as to
recover from radiation damage in "hot" areas.
* 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 maintenance required'. They will open after you have first attempted
to flip the 'Jettison Enable Master Control' on level 6 (after flipping
the 'Jettison Enable' switches in each of the 3 groves on level 6). You
will just have to come back later.
* 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 see some of the other areas, but cannot reach them until you get
to the appropriate 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 Cyberspace (Integrity Failure) the next time you
enter your total time will be reduced. You may wish to Save your game
before entering, and practice until you can clear 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 sufficiently 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 Reflex patch will greatly increase your luck).
* You only need to use 1 Interface Demodulator and 4 chunks of Plastique
to complete the game.
* Turbo Booster - select the Booster and then Select 'Item'. You will see
that there are two settings for the Booster ("Skate" and "Boost"). The
'Skate' setting will allow your jumps to be higher and farther. The
'Boost' setting greatly increases your top speed, but is very difficult to
control.
* Jumping - use your Turbo Booster on the 'Skate' setting (see above) to
greatly enhance your jumping ability.
* Re-generating Autobombs. There are two places in the game (one in a
hallway on level 7, and another in a maze area on level 9) where the
Autobombs are constantly 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 behind 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 in 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) and 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 station personnel to join him.
* "Robot Production Cancelled" switch on level 2 - this switch disables
the further generation of Hoppers on this level.

CHEATS:
* Use 'Alt-H' to turn on the on-line help. This will automatically point
out hidden 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 Motion Booster System ("Booster") and click it off. You should get a
message indicating a very low, or zero, energy drain. If you get a low
reading (not zero), click Booster on and off one more time. You should now
have full shield and lantern with no energy drain at all. NOTE: energy
weapons, enviro-suit, and jump boots 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 First Aid Kit. Throw the battery on the ground in front of you and
move close (so that 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
Correction' 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. Restore game and you know the solution. All you ever need to
carry around is just one Logic Probe.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
BUGS:
* Sound cards: Edit the 'CYB.CFG'. The most common problem is an incorrect
sound card 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 enough buffers and/or files available to be opened at one time in
your 'autoexec.bat' 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 other 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 prevent 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 the Floppy disk version of the game. This is a known bug, and is
fixed in the CD-ROM 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
yourself 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 memory, or total memory. This problem only seems to occur if you have
the CD-ROM version and are using the high-resolution graphics options. I
found that increasing Base Memory to above 610K free, OR increasing total
memory to above 10 Megabytes 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 resolutions 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. Great re-playability.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
UNANSWERED QUESTIONS:
* Is there any sure-fire way to eliminate the 'Cannot place message' error
you sometimes get when trying to place messages on the map?
* Note to myself: check out rumor that if you collect one beverage
container from each level and then type in "SALT THE FRIES" when on level
9,.. something interesting happens.
