System Shock 2 Hints
What should I do about Korenchkin?
1 of 11: You will get an e-mail from him asking you to come to the Bridge, once you're ready to head to the Rickenbacker.
3 of 11: You probably shouldn't be surprised by this, but Korenchkin (who appears as a floating psi reaver) wants to kill you, not talk with you.
4 of 11: Psi reavers are not simple to kill until you know their secret. Hopefully, you read that secret in a log elsewhere on this deck.
5 of 11: There was a log near the east end of Command A (just before you reach the bulkhead to Command B) telling you that secret.
6 of 11: The floating creatures are really just psi projections ...
7 of 11: ... controlled by a central brain structure nearby.
8 of 11: Find the brain structure, and you can then take care of the floating creature once and for all.
9 of 11: The brain structure is located on the upper level of the Bridge, near where you found the Ops Override card earlier. I'd recommend just running straight there once you arrive on the Bridge -- Korenchkin will not follow you to the upper level.
10 of 11: The "invisibility" psi power of Photonic Redirection can also enable you to sneak past the floating body and head straight to the brain.
11 of 11: Shoot the brain on the upper level, and then attack the floating projection. If you hacked the turret downstairs, you won't need to do any work yourself. Otherwise, you can shoot down to the lower level through the window on the upper level.
