Well, i am stuck in system shock.

I would appreciate if people could point me in the right direction.!

1) How do i blow up the reactor on level r, there is one way you can go to
the left. Into the reactor i assume sine the radiation is so high (I could
not find anything to do there other than kill cyborgs). Or you can take a
right and get to a keypad. And whatever codes i give it tells me they are
wrong.

2) People keep talking about the retina scanner. And it seems to be on
level 4, is it.? Since i can not find it.! What does it open, and what can
you get from it.?

3) How do i get to level 6, all the ways i try tell me the power is
redirected to level r. But since (See 1) i can not blow up the reactor i
don't knw how to blow it up i am stuck.

4) How do i get to thru the doors that tell me no maintenace is
required. I think they are on level 5.?

5) I have the laser safety override code. Where do i type that in.?

6) I have raised the shields, anything else i need to do to them.??

7) What the heck are interface modulators for.??

6) How do i get by the Military lock on level 5 (i think that is where
it is.)

Any help is very much appreciated.!

Thanks.

There is a terminal on level 2 that tells you the key code. Also there is
a note in cyberspace.

Use the override (question 1) and then engage the laser on level 2 (contro
is in the middle room with all those energy drain mines). This will free
up the power. Oh and you'll need to do the isotope thing. read your mail
logs.

see question 1.

Slow down and take things one step at a time. You're getting yourself
confused by reading about tasks you can't accomplish yet. Concentrate
first on destroying the laser. You can do that entirely on levels 2
and R, and don't need to enter the reactor core. Once you've done
that, you can reach level 6.

The maintenance doors, retina scanner, and interface modulators will
all become clear at the appropriate point in the game. Don't worry
about them yet.

The Military lock can be opened from cyberspace.

To unlock the military cyberspace lock, you need to squeeze past a
cyberspace barricade You can past without destroying the
barricade...in fact I don't know if there even is a way to destroy
barricades; the drill only seems to work on ICE defenses.

There is a distinct path that you need to follow in order
to move on in this game. Certain plot points must be match
and then some of the thing will occur.

You can tell how the plot is to move by ...
1) email's from rebecca
2) general messages from the people.

As a starter in the right directions (since you have the sheild)
you need to fire the laser (per emails). you can acomplish this
in the center of level 2.

If you need more exact info drop me an email,

-Terry

PS the power is redirected to charge the laser.
PPs maintence & retina occur later. modulator is for maintenance

Sure, it's possible. But you're going to get your ass kicked repeatedly by
the hoppers on level R.

I found doing level 3 and 4 first to be easier. That way you have something
better than the pistol (or magpulse with just a few shots) to slag the hoppers
with.

I am continually amazed at how much effort went into this game. When you
look at the rendering engine, textures, level design, physics, monsters,
plot, combat, cyberspace, hardware with multiple versions, patches, ammo,
puzzles. I mean wow!
