The Ward Hints

What did the Preacher mean when he said "Picture..."?

  • 1 of 13: The preacher mumbled the phrase "Picture. Double-T-5". Must be some type of code.
  • 2 of 13: There's a "picture" in the preacher's room. Have you looked at it again?
  • 3 of 13: Unlock Preacher Hollbrook's Cabinet.
  • 4 of 13: Inside his cabinet, find his personal card inside one of the books.
  • 5 of 13: Click on the book by Joyce called "Finnegans Wake" several times until the card appears.
  • 6 of 13: Now that you have solved the first part of his coded message, figure out what he meant by Double-T-5.
  • 7 of 13: Read his Personal Card on a data reader. (Remove Marshall's first if it is still inserted.)
  • 8 of 13: You have worked with codes before. Those strings of numbers look similar to some you once created yourself.
  • 9 of 13: Aha! A code beginning with TT5 appears there. (It's towards the bottom of the list.)
  • 10 of 13: The Preacher has a biocontainer inside him!  He was trying to tell you how to get it out.
  • 11 of 13: Select the Double T code and click on Transmit. Then click on the Preacher.
  • 12 of 13: On the tiny PSI Comm screen, click on the exclamation point.
  • 13 of 13: By now you know the Preacher is the Nexus. The PSI Comm, I think, is the object stolen from you earlier.
