The Mystery of the Nautilus Hints

What can I do here?

  • 1 of 8: Wouldn't it be wonderful to overcome that incredible nuisance of an AI defense system, once and for all?
  • 2 of 8: Maybe it's just dirty after all these years; perhaps we can "steam clean" it.
  • 3 of 8: Look up toward the ceiling.  Note the escaping steam.
  • 4 of 8: Now if we could only redirect that steam to an appropriate spot.
  • 5 of 8: Hook the adapter to the pipe with the escaping steam.
  • 6 of 8: Hook your pipe to the adapter.
  • 7 of 8: Tear a piece of pipe hose from near the overhead hatch with your pliers.
  • 8 of 8: Attach the adapter and pipe to the dangling piece of pipe hose to eliminate the AI system completely.
