The Ward Hints

How can I cause a disturbance?

  • 1 of 15: Your necklace emits a signal. The security drones and guards are following that signal.
  • 2 of 15: The necklace must be surgically removed.
  • 3 of 15: You noticed surgical equipment earlier in a lab.
  • 4 of 15: Find a way to get to that lab again.
  • 5 of 15: You can get there via the Ventilation System.
  • 6 of 15: Use the equipment in Surgery to remove your necklace.
  • 7 of 15: If the signal being emitted is far from your location, you will be able to go about your business more freely.
  • 8 of 15: One of the mechanical robots moves around. He can be programmed to go to other sectors if you know the proper security codes.
  • 9 of 15: That robot can also carry items to other sectors.
  • 10 of 15: Give your necklace to the working robot.
  • 11 of 15: Now send the robot and your necklace far, far away.
  • 12 of 15: Return to the Control Room and access the Life Support screen again.
  • 13 of 15: Click on the left robot shown in green. If all of the menu items are brightly lit, you can send him somewhere else.
  • 14 of 15: Send him to a sector that is the farthest away.
  • 15 of 15: On the Life Support Screen in the Control Room, click on Sector 103. Watch while he moves far away from you, with all the security drones in tow!
