Puzzle Tips

This can be a confusing level -- there's a deluge of information and advice from different sources, seemingly with different objectives.

First, you may not have noticed it, but there's a small panel behind the security desk you pass coming in. If you smash it, you'll get access to a small armory and the security terminals, plus the annoying gun that makes it hard to smash the panel will quit firing. You'll also find a chip in there that you'll need later.

Second tip, if you want to avoid the one suicide trap, is don't use the escape pod! Listen carefully to what the Admiral says. Remember the first level? Your son is dead -- but only he, you, and a couple people he trusts know that. Everyone else will think your son is alive. You should take that as a warning!

Last, you need to get into the cargo area, which you can overlook from a small control booth (where the door controls are) so that you can access the air vents. They are the key to getting around on this level. From there, just explore. See where they'll take you.

Do what the terminals tell you to get out -- well, except for advice on jumping in an escape pod!

Combat Tips

Only major concern is to be sure you have some decent stuff left at the end. On TC, three laser energy packs will do it.
