Still Life Hints

Office: How do I use the Remote Bomb Disposal Unit?

  • 1 of 14: Click on the console, to have Victoria walk over and sit down in the chair.  You will get a close-up look at the RBD.
  • 2 of 14: Note the book on the desk, to the left of the console.  It is the manual for operating the RBD.  Click on it, and read it in Victoria's document folder.
  • 3 of 14: Play with the controls to see what each of them does.
  • 4 of 14: What happens when you press the red "Release" button?
  • 5 of 14: Hmm..  who's that little blue guy that just dropped in on us?  And might this be of some help?
  • 6 of 14: Back at the console, note the four directional arrow buttons surrounding the red square.
  • 7 of 14: What happens when you press any of them, after releasing one of the mini-robots?
  • 8 of 14: The robot will make its way over to the wall -- directly to the grate in the wall, in fact -- then turn around and come back to where it started.
  • 9 of 14: There must be something significant in the fact that it heads directly for the grate in the wall.
  • 10 of 14: What if the grate were not there?
  • 11 of 14: How could Victoria remove the grate?
  • 12 of 14: Move into a close-up of the grate, and use the screwdriver twice -- once on each screw holding the grate.  Victoria will remove the grate cover and set it aside.
  • 13 of 14: Now what happens if a mini-robot is sent on its way?
  • 14 of 14: The mini-robot will walk into the open air duct, and continue into the adjacent room!
