Mission Critical Hints
How do I get the maglev system working again?
1 of 13: First, you need to get through the broken door.
2 of 13: Once you've done that, the controls you find should be a big help.
3 of 13: If you touched the rails, you'd realize that the system is completely dead.
4 of 13: So perhaps you should turn it on. There's a power switch in this room.
5 of 13: Even though there aren't any trains, you can still find something that will transport you.
6 of 13: You'll have to improvise a bit, though.
7 of 13: Pick up one of the disks next to the power panel.
8 of 13: It's a cargo transport disk. It's probably the best that you can do.
9 of 13: The maglev system still won't start running now -- the automatic controls aren't expecting a train.
10 of 13: So you'll have to use manual override.
11 of 13: Flip the second switch on the panel to turn it on.
12 of 13: The override doesn't last very long, so you'll have to be quick.
13 of 13: I found that I had to put the disk on the rail first, then flip the switch, and return to the disk. If you do this, you should be transported automatically to your destination.
