Space Quest V: The Next Mutation Hints
How am I supposed to get the cloaking device?
1 of 9: Well, look at that non-descript panel on the right half of W-D40's ship.
2 of 9: I'll tell you know that there's no way to keep the alarm from starting.
3 of 9: There's really no logic here -- it's all trial-and-error. Fortunately, you have enough time to play around.
4 of 9: I'd start out by pulling the two levers, starting with the top one.
5 of 9: In case you didn't know, you can open each of the four sections of the panel around the device separately. In fact, you need to open then separately.
6 of 9: If you don't want to figure it out, read on to see my solution. This may be randomly generated, so I can't guarantee it will work for you.
7 of 9: Start by turning the knobs in the upper-left and lower-right corners. Open the panels in those two corners.
8 of 9: Then turn the other two knobs. Open the upper-right and lower-left panels.
9 of 9: You can take the cloaking device and get out of here.
