Mission Critical Hints
How do I contact Erebus?
1 of 12: First of all, you need to get the TCS dish working again so you can use the comm system on Deck 2.
2 of 12: Now, just sit down at the controls, and you'll automatically enter the password that Tran gave you.
3 of 12: Your first task is to establish a link.
4 of 12: Erebus isn't a star -- it's just a colony. So don't look for its name on the map. Fortunately for you, its location is highlighted on the map.
5 of 12: There's no direct communication link to Erebus.
6 of 12: You're going to have to use a series of relays to get there.
7 of 12: Try to find links that get closer to Erebus.
8 of 12: You can use the map for this purpose.
9 of 12: There isn't one exact path that you need to take. Just try to get closer, and eventually, you should get there. But read ahead if you don't feel like solving this yourself.
