Mission Critical Hints
How do I get to the platform inside the metal tower?
1 of 10: None of the bridges to the platform reach you.
2 of 10: You're just going to have to create your own bridge, of sorts.
3 of 10: It just so happens that you brought all of the necessary supplies with you on the shuttle.
4 of 10: A little improvisation may be necessary here, though.
5 of 10: You could probably cross the wire on the spool from the shuttle's cargo bay, if only you could get it over to one of the bridges.
6 of 10: And you should have something capable of shooting the wire.
7 of 10: The seismic probe (again, from the cargo bay of the shuttle) can be launched into the air.
8 of 10: So why don't you tie the wire to the probe?
9 of 10: Now, launch the probe, and you're all set.
10 of 10: Put the gas cartridge (from the shuttle) and probe into the launcher (from the shuttle), and aim at the bridge. Traverse the wire to get onto one of the bridges.
