Space Quest V: The Next Mutation Hints
What do I do about the life form in the trash compartment?
1 of 13: Aren't you the least bit curious about what's in there?
2 of 13: Maybe you should open the trash, then. There's a button next to the door.
3 of 13: Oops. You let out a pretty nasty little creature.
4 of 13: You should look on the next-to-last page of the Inquirer for a hint here.
5 of 13: Those creatures (face huggers) are really friendly little creatures.
6 of 13: If you could only get near it, it might actually come to you.
7 of 13: Talk to Cliffy. He'll tell you where to find Spikey.
8 of 13: He's hiding in the bio lab. Go in there and wait. He'll come eventually.
9 of 13: The ship isn't a suitable place for Spikey to live. You can probably find a more appropriate habitat.
10 of 13: Try the habitube.
11 of 13: One last problem: the creature is very acidic. You may need to take care of that now. Something on the ship will solve the problem for you.
12 of 13: Look in Cliffy's toolbox for the item you need.
