PrinceWatercress plays Beneath A Steel Sky - Part 19 of 20


We get even deeper...so deep, that we're practically at LINC's front door. Once we go in, there's no going back.


You can now enter the secure area. There are some things you can look at, such as the storage tank full of liquid frostbite, a console and a huge tank with tissue samples in it.

Put Anita's card in the card slot of the console. This will put the virus in the console, causing the computer program in the secure area to crash. There is a pair of tongs to the right of the tank. Take them, and use them in the huge tank to get a tissue sample. Since you've put Anita's card in the console, the tissue samples will be infected with the virus. From here, quickly put the tongs with the sample in them in the storage tank to preserve them indefinitely; otherwise, they will rot and you'll need to get another sample. From here, go east.

There are three androids here. You can open the cabinets below the console. If you examine these consoles, you'll notice that the android on the left has no R&M program or functions and cannot be used, that the android in the middle does have R&M functions and an open expansion port, and that the android on the right is fully programmed and ready to destroy you as soon as you activate it.

Open the cabinet on the middle console and use Joey's circuit board on it to insert it. From here, use the console. Press the 2 Button to download the character data, then press 3 to run the start-up program. Joey will awaken in an android body. Go through all the dialogue options. Due to his completely featureless body, Joey will renamed "Ken" after Mattel's Ken doll.

From here, head east. You'll come across a door with two hand panels to the side. If you interact with the panels, you won't be able to open the door...unless you press them both at the same time. This is where Ken comes in. Ask him to touch one of the lock sensors. As he presses one, right-click the other. You'll open the door, but Joey's hand will get stuck on the panel. If you talk to Joey, he will tell you that his hand will be melted to the panel, and you'll have to leave him behind.

Head east again. From here, walk east along the pipe support. There are some rungs, and you can climb down them. Go down the rungs by right-clicking on them, then place the tissue sample in the orifice below. This will open a doorway in the wall to the west...but you can't jump there! What to do?

Go back up and use the cable on the pipe support. Robert will tie the cable around the pipe. Once we swing to the opening, there's no going back.
