Nancy Drew 27: The Deadly Device Hints

What is there to find in here?

  • 1 of 4: There isn't too much here that you can take away.
  • 2 of 4: There's a thing that looks like a pink sausage with claws on the countertop under the cabinet; that's one of the robotic cat legs. Talk to Ryan to learn more about this.
  • 3 of 4: The cabinet contains silicon wafers, as it says, and is locked. You'll find the key inside Ellie's desk.
  • 4 of 4: On top of the machine at right, there's a book explaining how to use the photolithography machine, and it also has a section about the 3D printer. In case it's not obvious, the photolithography machine is used to create circuit boards and suchlike flat surfaces with raised ridges from a flat design. Don't panic, you'll learn more as we go along.
