The Ward Hints
I died upon arrival!
1 of 7: Before you panic, make sure the cut scene runs its full course. A scene will appear showing the grey aliens shooting at you. This is normal. If the main menu appears with a message at the top, you *did* do something wrong.
2 of 7: They got the biocontainer's security code from your memorizer!
3 of 7: The best security for your biocontainer would be a code they either don't know or can't find easily.
4 of 7: Scramble the code that matches what is inside the biocontainer.
5 of 7: The row of zeroes was the default code. It can still be found if it was scrambled only one time.
6 of 7: You should have written down the code, but if you're in doubt you can look at the biocontainer again by opening a comm.link to it.
7 of 7: While looking at the main memorizer screen, scroll down to the biocontainer's code. Click on Scramble. You'll need to remember this later. Write it down!
