The Moment of Silence Hints

How can I open the bulkhead across the hall from the evac bulkhead?

  • 1 of 20: Have you tried messing with its switch panel?
  • 2 of 20: You can press five large continent-shaped buttons on the panel.
  • 3 of 20: You need to press them in a very specific order.
  • 4 of 20: You could guess -- there are only 120 possibilities.
  • 5 of 20: Or you could look around for a clue.
  • 6 of 20: Have you searched the dead guy next to the evac bulkhead? He didn't know how to open that bulkhead, but maybe he knew how to open this one.
  • 7 of 20: Searching him will reveal a note in his shirt pocket and a disk in his hand.
  • 8 of 20: The disk can't be read just by looking at it, and the note looks blank. Not helpful!
  • 9 of 20: But then, you know how sneaky these conspiracy types can be. Maybe one of those is a trick item.
  • 10 of 20: How about the "blank" note? Maybe it has invisible ink or something on it.
  • 11 of 20: One standard way to search for such things is to heat up the paper to see if anything is revealed.
  • 12 of 20: So use your lighter on the note in inventory.
  • 13 of 20: That'll give you a close-up of the paper with the lighter as your mouse cursor.
  • 14 of 20: Move the lighter around the paper to see if anything shows up.
  • 15 of 20: It's very faint, but there are several letters printed across the top of the paper.
  • 16 of 20: Those look like they could be two-letter abbreviations for continents. Maybe this is the code!
  • 17 of 20: NA is first, so click on the North America "touch switch" first.
  • 18 of 20: EU is next, so click on Europe (or Asia, since they're combined into one touch switch).
  • 19 of 20: Then it's Africa, Australia, and South America in that order.
  • 20 of 20: If you do it right, you'll gain entrance to the huge parabolic dish area.
