The Weather

Why does the weather keep getting worse?

1. Everyone on the surface was either washing their cars, heading for the beach or planning a picnic.
2. The FCs are doing the best they can, but they're malfunctiontng.
3. The FCs are constantly adjusting the pressure in one of the towers, and doing a lousy job.

How do I fix the Weather Towers on the surface of Contra?

1. First, fix Iris so she can see the monitors (helpful, but not truly necessary.)
2. Send a robot the Weather Control Area.
3. Try turning the dials to different settings.
4. Set the middle dial to 99 or 100, then pray for the best.

I keep turning dials in the Weather Control Area, but noting happens. Why?

1. Something is happening. Be patient.
2. Weather does not change instantly.
3. It take about five FC cycles before Iris will be able to report on a change in the surface environment.

Why won't the weather towers stay in balance once they've been stabilized?

1. The FCs keep resetting them.
2. You can never actually fix the situation -- the best you can do is buy some time while you go about the repairing the real problem: the FCs.

The Transit System

Why do so many casualties occur when I shut off the floaters?

1. Try looking at it this way: You're in an airplane.
2. Someone comes by and removes its wings.
3. At 38,000 feet.
4. Ouch.

How do I stop people from getting on the floaters?

1. If the floaters weren't in operation, no one would use them.
2. People are using taxis and the glidewalks to get to the floaters.
3. Stop the taxis and glidewalks.

Why do the glldewalks keep picking up speed?

1. The FCs are doing it, just like they're messing about with the weather towers.

What's wrong with the robotaxis?

1. They're revolting against their human bosses.
2. Well, maybe not.
3. They're striking for better pavement.
4. Their union's not very strong though.
5. The FCs are misinterpreting information and are unable to control them correctly.
6. That sounds more reasonable.
7. Better turn them off.

How do I keep Casualties down to a minimum from the Transit System?

1. Try shutting everything off.
2. Throw the Switches which control the Transit System.
3. In the following order:
     1. Taxis
     2. Glidewalks
     
   3. Floaters (when there are no people in them)

Hydroponics

Why bother with food at a time like this?

1. Everyone has to eat, even in an emergency.
2. A well-balanced breakfast is the start of any good day.
3. Even with what's going on, people will starve without food.

How do I balance the Hydroponics Controls?

1. They don't need to be balanced until a secondary tremor occurs.
2. Push the levers forward or pull the levers back until Iris tells you the nutrients, lighting and water are balanced.

Where do I get a cheeseburger?

1. Did you try sending out for one?
2.
