System Shock Hints
How do I destroy the reactor?
1 of 16: This requires several steps.
2 of 16: First, you'll need to get clearance from Earth to do so.
3 of 16: You will after you destroy the antennas on level 7.
4 of 16: Once you do, you'll get an e-mail to tell you to look for the log of an officer.
5 of 16: You don't need to find it, but it will give you a clue.
6 of 16: To get the code for the reactor, you must head to the CPU room in levels 1-6 and copy down the code on the adjacent screen.
7 of 16: The code changes every game, so I can't spoil it here.
8 of 16: The CPU rooms are where the computer nodes were (all on the maps).
9 of 16: When you've copied down all six, head to level R.
10 of 16: Go to the center of the Reactor, and use the elevator up.
11 of 16: Type in the numbers (in the order of levels 1-6), press enter, and pull the switch.
12 of 16: Now, head to the escape pods on level 5.
13 of 16: The Cybord Edward Diego will meet you again near those pods. Kill him.
14 of 16: Enter the pods with the code 001 and try to escape.
15 of 16: You won't though. So head back up to level 7, and take the elevator up to level 8.
