Space Quest V: The Next Mutation Hints
How do I get inside the room to the west?
1 of 9: When you're a fly it's pretty easy, since you're very tiny.
2 of 9: All you need to do is fly through the security card slot.
3 of 9: As a human, it's a little more difficult. I hope you remember what you saw as a fly.
4 of 9: You must remember those beams of light in the slot.
5 of 9: You should have noticed that walking through some of them triggered part of the lock, but that other beams didn't.
6 of 9: You want to create a security card that opens all of the locks at the same time, but that doesn't also block any of the other beams.
7 of 9: You already have another sort of card that will do the trick.
8 of 9: And an item that will create the holes for you.
9 of 9: Use the hole punch on the business card. Punch holes in each of the corners and in the center of the card (like the dots on a "5" on dice).
