  • 1 of 13: Wait until the door ahead of you opens, then go through it and check for supplies while making your way to a door that a splicer closes and locks.
  • 2 of 13: Grab the spare dart from the dispenser if you left one there, then go through the door you just opened to find a deactivated security bot. (If you shot down the splicer, you can also loot his corpse.)
  • 3 of 13: Move on to a large room with a big hanging train car. This'll be your first chance to use your new security bot in combat.
  • 4 of 13: Go through the "GATE CONTROL" doorway to reach the room with the gate control. Use it, then wait until several splicers shoot through the room's windows.
  • 5 of 13: Move along the flooded passage, looking along its sides for four floating corpses to search. Past them, crouch-walk through a low tunnel, then go up the stairs that lead out of the water.
  • 6 of 13: At the top of the stairs, crouch-walk into a storage room, then go over to its NW doorway. Through it, you'll be able to see the drafting room, which has the game's first security camera in it.
  • 7 of 13: Check the drafting room for supplies, then move on to find the locked door to Workshop 6B.
  • 8 of 13: Look around the workshop and cafeteria for supplies, then go over to the workshop's west end to get a large door closed in your face.
  • 9 of 13: After you finish the "Open the Deployment Bay Door" goal, search the room past the bay door for supplies.
  • 10 of 13: Go up the stairs that lead to the huge switching hub area, ignoring the big sister. There are other hostiles to deal with here.
  • 11 of 13: Enter the elevator that's past the security camera and use its interior button to ride it up, then watch as a splicer demonstrates how trap rivets work.
  • 12 of 13: Check for supplies as you make your way along to the train station's entry room.
  • 13 of 13: Look along the entry room's north wall for an interactive intercom switch that you can use to finally finish this goal. However, don't do that until after you've prepared for a big splicer combat.
