Mission Critical Hints
How can I get into the staterooms?
1 of 11: Privacy laws prohibit you from going into state rooms without authorization.
2 of 11: Fortunately, you do have authorization here.
3 of 11: Read the captain's note. It gives you the VIS override code to his stateroom (just across the corridor from the wardroom).
4 of 11: Just try to open his door, and you'll have a chance to say the code from his note. Note that your character *must* first see the code on the note to have this option -- just knowing the code yourself isn't good enough.
5 of 11: As to the other rooms, didn't the captain say something in his note about those as well?
6 of 11: The crew manifest in his room has many of the other VIS codes that you'll need. Just keep flipping the pages until you find them. Once again, your character needs to see the codes before you can use them.
7 of 11: Finally, you'll find one last code in one of the other staterooms.
8 of 11: There's a note in Falcon's drawer from "J" that has his VIS override code -- IH31.
9 of 11: Something in yet another stateroom should tell you who "J" is.
10 of 11: Read the journal on Mary Quan's desk.
11 of 11: "J" is Poole. His quarters are the farthest (as you face the doors) on the right on Deck 2.
