Mission Critical Hints
How do I activate the Hype system?
1 of 12: This puzzle is more or less straight forward.
2 of 12: All you need to do is find instructions on initializing Hype.
3 of 12: Go to the tactical station on the bridge (it's on the right as you're entering), use it, and just do what the computer tells you.
4 of 12: The weapons drones are located in the Weapons Bay.
5 of 12: Pick any one of the three rooms of drones and walk into its control room. Click on the "program" button, enter program #180, hit "load" and then "activate." Cycle through the other two drones that you can access from this bay and repeat.
6 of 12: Once you leave the bay, the game will automatically program the other two sets of drones for you. Step one's now done.
7 of 12: Now you need to find the Hype equipment.
8 of 12: Hype involves drugs.
9 of 12: So it's probably stored in the medical officer's quarters (Dahl's, on Deck 2).
