Myst Hints
What should I do in the spaceship?
1 of 6: Have you been reading the books in the library?
2 of 6: The one for this age has a picture of a keyboard that's remarkably similar to the one in the spaceship.
3 of 6: Start by playing each of the notes in the order given to you in the book.
4 of 6: Then look at the five sliders on the other side of the ship.
5 of 6: You need to copy these notes in order (first note on the left, etc.).
6 of 6: Position these sliders so they play the tones that correspond to what you found in the book, and pull the lever on the controls. A linking book should appear in the window above the controls.
