Stuck on System Shock, help appreciated

[Mario Pacheco]

I'm stuck on System Shock, level 7 (Engineering). As a refresher for
those of you you may be able to lend a hand, in level 7 you're supposed
to blow up the four attenae in order to prevent Shodan from uploading
itself to earth.

After destroying the four attenae you receive e-mail from Rebecca, she
tells you you need to get the system code in order to overload the
reactor. She points out that Willard Richie or something or other,
is the "SysOp" and he would hold such a code. Anyway his body is in the
"System Administrator's" office, or at least the log on the body matches
the name given by Rebecca. In his log however he says that Shodan is
preventing the access of "System Codes" that's the subject of the log.

There's an elevator that takes one to the eight level, Security, but
there's a door that's locked as soon as you get out of the elevator.
There's nothing else to do. There's a log by the locked door but it
talks about the layout of the security level, that does me little good
at this point since I can't venture into it.

I've seen no other elevators on level 7, the "Willard Richie" corpse
yielded no system code. I can go back to the reactor level and attempt
to key in a code but that does me little good since I don't know it.
Furthermore I think I'm not supposed to quite have the code at this
point given that levels 8 and 9 (bridge) are still unexplored on my
part. The whole point of overloading the reactor is to destroy the
station, which means that the game would pretty much end since I would
have to make my way to the escape pods. Iterating, given that levels 8
(security) and 9(bridge) are unexplored I probably need to find some
other way to get into the security level.

Spoilers please, please respond directly.

Thanks,
Mario Pacheco

You need to blow the reactor. To get the code, you must revisit the
computer nodes on each level. Only one digit will be displayed on a
screen in each of the nodes. Enter them in the order they appear (by
level) to set the reactor to self-destruct. Enjoy the fun afterwards!

When you were destroying computer nodes on each level, you were
actually picking the numbers for the code. (It's random.) If you go
back to the black screens (where the computers were on each level)
you'll see whatever digit it was fixed at when you destroyed it. Those
six numbers give you your code!
