The Ward Hints
How does the globe work?
1 of 11: The globe is an alien microscope.
2 of 11: A biological sample is suspended and locked inside the globe.
3 of 11: While in close-up view, you can analyze blood samples by using the panel that sits to the left of the globe.
4 of 11: While viewing the sample, remember to try pushing buttons even if they are gray. (Some of the buttons shoot the DNA of the sample into the pulsating matter in the center of the room.)
5 of 11: Samples can be switched by opening and closing the globe.
6 of 11: The globe itself has two layers of clear material, each with a hole in it. Those holes can be moved around using the top and bottom buttons on the base. The larger middle button will light up or blink when it is active.
7 of 11: To remove a sample, line up the holes of both layers until the large middle button flashes.
8 of 11: The inner holes will line up on the right side of the globe (your right side). The bigger button will flash and the ring around them will turn red when you are able to take out or insert a sample.
9 of 11: Click on the floating sample to put it in your inventory.
10 of 11: When a new sample has been inserted through the holes, press the large button again to seal it in place.
11 of 11: If the globe is empty, pushing the large middle button activates it again.
