Obsidian Hints
How do I start the plane?
1 of 8: Have you gone into the engine room yet? It's the room where some robots are pushing a moving picture display.
2 of 8: Take a look at the "movie" they're making.
3 of 8: It kind of looks like a flying bird, but the motion isn't quite correct.
4 of 8: Fix it.
5 of 8: Click on the device again and you can then look at the individual pictures.
6 of 8: And rearrange them. When you drag one picture to another, the two will swap places on the display.
7 of 8: The ship will be able to fly once you have the pictures in the correct order, so that they display smooth motion when played together.
8 of 8: If you think you've smoothed out the bird's flight but the ship still isn't flying, then you may need to reverse the order of the pictures.
