Mission Critical Hints
How do I get the lander over to the Lexington?
1 of 8: You can establish a communications link with the Jericho.
2 of 8: Use the TCS system on Deck 2 to establish the link.
3 of 8: The path to the Jericho is fairly simple. Use TRB010 as a relay, and you can then reach the Jericho.
4 of 8: Once you have a link to the Jericho, you can communicate with its computer system. Tran told you what to do at this point.
5 of 8: Enter "JACOB'S LADDER" as the password and then activate program Bravo to get the Ariadne to respond to the Lexington's homing beacon.
6 of 8: All the Ariadne needs is a beacon to respond to.
7 of 8: You can activate one in the shuttle bay control room.
8 of 8: Turn it on (make sure to open the shuttle bay doors first), and the Ariadne will arrive automatically.
