A New Beginning Hints
How can I get the data out of the archive cupboards?
1 of 6: First try to find in which of the three safes the data crystal is stored.
2 of 6: A lamp should highlight the safe to be used.
3 of 6: Use the lamp on the socket of the middle safe to see it's lit. Use that safe. The third light (counted from the left side) is lit, so you only need to identify the shelf.
4 of 6: Take the lamp from the safe and try to use it on the sockets identifying the individual shelves.
5 of 6: At the second shelf (counted from the floor), the lamp should be lit so you can identify the shelf. This also unlocked the data crystal as now both lamps (horizontal and vertical position) are lit.
6 of 6: Take the crystal identified by those horizontal and vertical positions.
