Voyage Hints

Where do I get the white crystalline substance?

  • 1 of 21: The substance is salt, and -- in a pinch (pun intended) -- it can be purchased from the Distributor.
  • 2 of 21: But it doesn't need to be.
  • 3 of 21: There is another source for salt, although it is well hidden, and requires an almost accidental discovery to find it.
  • 4 of 21: Go to Level 3 ("Food") in the elevator, and exit to the left, toward the alien shepherd Scurvy, standing at the end of the hallway.
  • 5 of 21: Look at the metal plate on the wall on your left.
  • 6 of 21: What could this plate be for?  It is obviously covering something.
  • 7 of 21: Nothing you might try will force the plate open.
  • 8 of 21: Look around for another active spot on the same wall.
  • 9 of 21: Note the level "2" key slot to the left of the panel.
  • 10 of 21: Use a level "2" key (or higher) in the slot; the panel will open.
  • 11 of 21: Wow -- impressive!  A bust of the Supreme Ruler.  Maybe you could just take it...
  • 12 of 21: ... oh, nice going!  Now you broke it, and Scurvy is pretty upset!
  • 13 of 21: You'd better do something about it quickly, to try and pacify him.
  • 14 of 21: Pick up the smashed bust, and...
  • 15 of 21: ... as always, you should use the inventory window to look at EVERYTHING you pick up, to get more information about it.
  • 16 of 21: It seems that the broken pieces of the bust are producing a "rattling" sound -- as if there were something loose inside.
  • 17 of 21: Smash the broken pieces even further...
  • 18 of 21: ... to disclose what was inside.  (Use the wrench, or iron bar, or other similar item to smash the remains.)
  • 19 of 21: Take the salt the comes out of the smashed bust.
  • 20 of 21: Oh, and when you're done, use some glue on the broken pieces, and put the repaired bust back in its niche.  And DON'T TOUCH IT AGAIN.
  • 21 of 21: (You did, didn't you???  Nice shot, Ace.  Now go back and fix it...  AGAIN!)
