Anachronox Hints
How do I disable the blue laser?
1 of 7: Officer Rather, who's in the lounge at one end of the gate area, will give you the codes.
2 of 7: Try talking to him, and listen to what he has to say.
3 of 7: Apparently, he carries his daily briefing papers around with him.
4 of 7: Maybe it's in the briefcase that he left on the table?
5 of 7: Too bad it's locked.
6 of 7: Well, if you use Boots' Pick Lock WorldSkill on the briefcase, you can open it to get the code for the blue laser.
7 of 7: The control panel for the blue laser is near gates 1 and 2, fairly close to the lounge.
