The Moment of Silence Hints
How can I get a VCR cable from Cypher?
1 of 10: Go to the Nuclear Cafe's back room and talk to Cypher about the cable he has on the nearby workbench.
2 of 10: Once again, he'll get greedy and demand something in return.
3 of 10: He says he wants "a small gift of recognition, a bonus." What might he recognize as such?
4 of 10: If that cable you're bargaining for will work with an old VCR, it must be a bit of an antique.
5 of 10: So why not trade one antique for another?
6 of 10: Return to the antique shop in Greenwich and look around.
7 of 10: Cypher is big on the whole alien conspiracy angle, so why not find him something that involves aliens?
8 of 10: Say, I'll bet he'd *love* a classic audiotape version of H.G. Wells' "The War of the Worlds."
9 of 10: So get him the "War of the Worlds" radio play.
