How does the memorizer work?
  • 1 of 6: The memorizer does exactly what it sounds like it does, plus more. Basically, it memorizes codes that are received by it. Then it can transmit those codes.
  • 2 of 6: Codes to receive are those stored in mechanical objects. In the moonbase, those include robots, spheres, and containers. The object must be visible at close range for your memorizer to be able to receive it.
  • 3 of 6: To receive a code, scroll to the comm. line for that particular object. Press Transmit. When the next window opens, click on Receive. Your memorizer will capture the codes from that object.
  • 4 of 6: The new codes appear on the beginning window and can be selected to transmit to another object.
  • 5 of 6: Special security codes are received from containers. Once received by the memorizer, they can transmitted, scrambled, or descrambled.
  • 6 of 6: More specifics will be provided in the areas you need them.
