The Computer Room
(Click or tap on any clue to reveal the clue.)
How do I fix the computer?
- Have you opened the access panel?
- You'll have to find the missing card.
- It is not a good idea to add or remove circuit boards while the system is powered up.
How can the computer be repaired after the electrical fire?
- You'll have to have it serviced by the manufacturer.
- In other words, it can't be fixed. Don't put cards into the racks while the power is on.
Where is the missing card?
- If you thoroughly explore the Artifact, you should find it.
- Advanced technology may make it different from circuit boards you are accustomed to.
- The metal and ceramic square in the Repair Room will work.
What does the enunciator panel signify?
- Try drawing the diagrams as described.
- The three banks of lights on the left each have four colored lights. Do the colors remind you of anything?
- The colors are associated with the four main corridors.
- "The first [bank of lights] is labeled with a symbol of the emission of rays..." What do the red and yellow halls have in common?
- The "emission of rays" is a symbol for light. The red hallway lights are fading. The yellow hallway is either dark or under emergency lighting. (If it's dark, you could tell that it is yellow by process of elimination -- as you approached the Artifact you saw blue, yellow, green, and red docking ports.)
- The other two banks of lights on the left indicate problems with the yellow docking port and the yellow airlock.
- The symbol for the sixth light on the right represents solid, liquid, gas (the light is associated with the last of these).
- The sixth light indicates a progressively worsening problem with the ship's atmosphere.
