Beneath a Steel Sky Hints
What should I do in the room with the colored swirls?
1 of 8: You should be able to find an item that looks like those swirls.
2 of 8: Try decompressing the ball.
3 of 8: There's a decompression utility in the birthday surprise in the carpet bag. Use it on the ball, and you'll get two passwords.
4 of 8: The passwords are perfectly interchangeable.
5 of 8: Use the passwords on the floor to help open a path to the other exit.
6 of 8: You'll need to pick up old passwords as you move along, since you only have two that you can use at one time.
8 of 8: The easiest way to reverse your path is probably just to disconnect from LINC space. When you return, you'll be back where you started, passwords and all.
