Just in case you don't get the JFK business...

Spoiler

Read the email on the computer. You'll find out that the captain's 55th birthday was only a few days ago.

It's a subtle hint. Basically, the code is the captain's birth date. That is, 28th July 2030. Therefore the six digit code is 280730.

Hi, I can't read the email on the captain's computer, everytime i typed email on the computer, it would tell me there is no new mails and that's all. Is there another way to read the mails?

It's the same for me. I just played through again from the beginning, and still it immediately says there are no emails.

About the code...

Spoiler
The email only comes up on the appropriate day, that is on the friday (I think). Maybe that's why you are not getting it.

You could also be typing "mail" instead of "email" in the computer terminal - that happened to me.  :P

In any case, you don't need it until you see blood coming out of William's room (that's almost at the end). Maybe you're not as advanced in the game as you thought...

I just escaped the brig and shot the Captain's body. Now I am running for my life - thing is I am getting a bit tired of running around without a single clue of what to do. I know for a fact that William is in his room and that Adam is hiding in the shaft. Other than that, nada.

Help?

Which day are you now?
Have you helped Angela to call for help?

@OneDude
You must be missing something before leaving the brig room.

@airbone: It's Monday. Maybe I've missed something in the conversation with Angela. How can I help her call for help?

I'm stuck on sunday, anyone got an idea how to get it? I guesse it has something to do with retracting the radio masts.

@redisis
Remember what Angela said?  What she need?

Spoiler
You have to enter captain's room.  You need his keycard, right?  So where is it?  Remember where you find his body?  Somewhere not too far...

@Iemander
Yep, you got the clue...  But how can you do so without Serena?  Recall what you have done before...

Spoiler
Go check captain's computer again....  Something you have missed....

Post by: on Fri 23/07/2004 23:18:16
I don't think I missed anything. The Captain's corpse walked in and killed Angela. While the Captain's corpse was turning the force field off, I took the gun and shot it. I also took the baseball bat-thing used to hold paper (I can only guess).

Done. But I still can't figure what to do with the Captain's corpse. I will shoot it, alright. But then the hide&run thing won't stop. I tried shooting the engines and stuff. In fact, I think I tried everything I could with the whole reactor room scenario. Nothing worked.  ???

Hi everyone,

Spoiler
I've read previous post and someone suggested holding the left-most pod's handle right after the letter-reading thing finished to avoid being suck out, but I don't have any choice of actions until the pod opened. Did I missed something? ???

Before going out, you need to do something...  remember what William said before he died?  So... how to make use of them?  Who can control them?  I know that person is dead... but remember what you did when you needed to open William's door?

If you still can't get it with the hints above....
Spoiler
Go to captain's console and access "captain" command again... and you'll see something useful...

All you have to do is wait....  the point is WHERE?

You should know how to go out, but you have to let IT know you are going out, got it?

I'm not sure but this work fine for me everytime.
Spoiler
wait outside the airlock door until the welder pops up.  Once it did, enter airlock and do what you should do to go outside.
