I had. They're gone after I prepared both pipes.

Thanks Emir. I'll do that.

hmm...did you already discovered the two shelfs inside the procession storeroom (turn right, forward, then right)...? you should find there some other items you will need for the pipes..
(plastic bottle, garden hose etc.)

Walkthrough for those who are interested.

YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thank you Dan. FJT

You're a doll. that will help a lot. Thanks.

I cannot cut the plastic bottle because after cutting the two hhoses, it took the knife away. Any suggestions?

Scroll left or right in your inventory to make sure it's not hidden.

I already tried that. Didn't move. Don't know where it went. If it won't come back, I may need a saved game for after cell 7.

Make sure the you are clicking the the left arrow on the inventory and that it turns red. Each click only moves the inventory one item at a time.

It won't let me get close to the arrow. It goes as far as thye code note and then won't move. The note will come up, but can't do the arrow. I have tried to move it right or left, but nothing.

You can't see the arrow?

I can see the right and left arrow, but it will only let me get to the code note on the left, and no further. I cannot even touch the arrow on the left....only the right one. But nothing happens with touching the right one. Does anyone have a saved game for just after cell 7? Or after looking into the computer about Joshua. That is where I am. Thanks.

Thats strange, you can see the left arrow but can't touch it...check the whole inventory for the knife, I may be confusing this with another game I am playing but I remember a knife moving from the first position in the inventory to somewhere in the middle after using it. Right now in my game the knife is still sitting in the first position.

I only have about 11 items in the inventory, and it won't even go right because of it. I am ready to quit now. 5 hours on the problem and 2 days trying to get past the partm about cell 7, that is enough. Great game, but not worth the frustration. I don't need to get this upset. Only have about an hour left tonight to play. So if I can't fix this or get a saved game, I will be ready to give it up. Don't want to start over.
