System Shock Hints
Notes
When you first enter this level, you'll get an e-mail from some survivors under attack. You can never, ever rescue them, so don't be in a hurry to get to them. In this level, you really only have to get the node and the cameras to get rid of security. You can also get the Jump Boots (if you don't already have them) and the Lantern at point D. To activate the force bridge to that area, you need a low enough security, and then hit the buttons like this:
ON ON OFF ON ON OFF
You will still need to jump one segment, though.
While on this level, also check out the Cortex Reaver which is attacking Parovski (at point C). Kill it, and gather everything. Also, the elevator at point H will not open until the laser is destroyed. Once you've done that, you can leave the level.
You will need to return here once you set the reactor to blow. Head to the life pods (point G), and defeat the Cybord Edward Diego (again). Get in (code 001) and hit the switch. Don't think you can get away so easy, because you can't. Once the launch is canceled, head to level 7, and from there, to level 8.
