Anachronox Hints
How do I get off this planet?
1 of 9: First, you need to find Dr. Bowman and make sure that she finds her keycard to her shuttle.
2 of 9: She'll give you her keycard, so that you can get into her private shuttle at the Starport. But before you go, you may want to make sure you have something to protect the shuttle.
3 of 9: There's a small set of stairs leading to an area under the floor of her lab. Take those to find a Shuttle Shield Unit in a chest down there. I don't know if it's necessary, but it couldn't hurt to take.
4 of 9: From there, run like mad back to the Starport, via the maintenance tunnels she told you about.
5 of 9: Specifically, head back to the entrance to the Rainbow Sanctuary, and go to the bottom of the stairs at the front door to find the entrance to the tunnels. (You weren't able to open this door before you first met Rho.)
6 of 9: You'll run into PAL again on your way past the reception desk -- don't forget to take him with you.
7 of 9: Then just go down the stairs into the tunnel. The path back to the Starport is somewhat well marked.
8 of 9: Specifically, look for the yellow stripes along the wall and follow those for the shortest path back to the Starport.
9 of 9: At the end of the tunnel, you'll be back in the Starport. Just follow the path back to the gates and head up to gate 12, where you can use the card reader to open the door and get into the shuttle.
