Beneath a Steel Sky Hints
How do I shut down LINC?
1 of 17: The first thing that you need to do is to keep it from growing.
4 of 17: Whatever you take out of LINC will be put on the appropriate ID card.
5 of 17: So use the ID card to install the virus.
6 of 17: Use either Anita or Gallagher's ID (it depends on who took the virus) on the terminal in the room with the liquid nitrogen tanks. Then the virus will be delivered.
7 of 17: But now you need to poison LINC.
8 of 17: Make it quit cold turkey.
9 of 17: Or cold tissue.
10 of 17: You can get tissue out of the room where you delivered the virus.
11 of 17: Pick it up via the tongs.
12 of 17: And now chill it.
13 of 17: Dip the tissue in the liquid nitrogen tanks, and look for a way to feed LINC.
14 of 17: Go past the door with the hand sensors, and climb down the ladder.
15 of 17: The orifice is what you need.
16 of 17: Put the tissue in there. And be persistent.
17 of 17: Repeat the process. The second cold tissue sample should poison LINC.
