Memory recovery module:

The memories are in blocks. Restore the memory by assembling memory clusters.

See 5 memory clusters. Each memory cluster to be assembled is made up of picture squares from same or another cluster(s).

The object of the puzzle is to assemble the correct picture in each cluster.

Within a cluster, each square can be interchanged by left click on one and left click on the other square you want interchanged.

To get a square (picture) from another cluster, right click the square on the worked on cluster (big one at right) where the picture from the other cluster is situated and the square will cycle through all the pictures (situated on that 3x3) of the other clusters. Stop when you get the picture square needed.

If the location of that square in the cluster you are working on is already correct for that cluster, it is best that you move the correct square to another location in that worked-on cluster before right click cycling.

It is also best to complete one cluster first to remove that set of pictures from the cycling. The easiest and distinct picture to work on first is the green forest scene.

Compile all the green pictures from the other cluster and then rearrange them to form the complete picture.

The cluster background square turns green when correctly done. The squares cannot be moved anymore after the whole picture is assembled.

Read the log that was started on 2132-4-16.

Marita presumed this place is ideal for the crew to calm down after Ambrosia and Zenobia.

Roger heard sounds in the night.

They lost connection with the probe and Marita suspects Lark. (It's weird writing this.)

The crew showed her green jelly. Benjamin can't restore the communications and might need a walkthrough.

There is a thing outside that destroyed the internal air generators.

Stephan was badly injured. The thing doesn't want to eat them.

Stephan's datapad code is freed91023. It has plans for external air unit.

Hospital:

Go to the locked door at left wall of the main hall. Use Marita's ID card on access slot.

Examine the mutilated skeleton on the table.

Examine tools on the floor.

Examine the datapad on the floor. It is Stephan Prinz' datapad.

Stephan Prinz' datapad: Use the code taken from Marita's log - freed91023. Confirm.

Stephan is civilian and in research. Personal ID# 667234/78553. Read Stephan's log.

Learn that after Ambrosia, Lark split the crew. Lark sent the 5 stable crew here while the others are recovering on the probe.

Stephan heard a noise but the probe's inquiry was negative.

The probe - Julia insists that the readings are negative.

Roger rushed in screaming something tried to eat him.

Benjamin found out that the sound returns at the same time every day. Benjamin made a program which detects sharp amplitude changes.

The crew was woken up by heavy pounding. They found greenish substance around the station. Communication with the probe was lost.

The air generator broke and they have to take turns changing the external air unit. RTL NOG is mentioned.

The thing got Marita while she was changing containers of the external air unit.

The air generator correct levels are: 20.9% and 1.1%. The fans have to be cranked up to maximum and then lower them immediately to midpoint to expel the bad air inside.

The last entry was when it was Stephan's turn to change the external air unit.

Examine the medicine cabinet at left wall. There is a computer terminal left of the cabinet.

Examine the x-rays. Parts are missing. They look like they were chewed on.

Open the door under the medical worktable.

Examine the container. Take the container.

The surgical room door is broken beyond repair. Look through the surgical room window.

Living room hallway:

Use Marita's ID card on the locked door at right wall of the main hall.

Links are lost for station maintenance, validation sequence, station-orbit communication and station transportation.

The air unit control link reads that incorrect air composition is detected. It refers to chapter 17 of the manual - replacing air containers.

Examine the broken window at the back wall. It was broken from outside.

Examine the hanging cables' electircity conduits on the ceiling.

Look through large window.

Learn that JULIA, unlike MOBOT has an emotional AI unit.

Collect the container:

Go to hallway and feel a rumble that shakes the station. Mobot did not detect anything around.

Go to Spacesuit room. Take the container from the floor.

Analyze the samples:

Open Mobot's new analyzer by clicking on the colored circle icons at top right of screen.

Laser gun from spacesuit room:    Bionalysis shows that the prevailing prints are from Stephan Prinz. The laser gun has never been fired.

Container from hospital:     Chemical analysis shows that it has chemicals used to synthesize oxygen.

Container from living room hallway:     Chemical analysis shows that it has chemicals used to synthesize lesser gases in breathable air.

Body sample from man on floor of living room:    Biological analysis shows that the man died of heart attack after seeing something outside.

Data analysis identifies the man as Benjamin Walter.

Container from spacesuit room:    Chemical analysis shows that it has chemicals used to synthesize oxygen.

Change the air units:

Air containers:    Go outside and then to the side of the station. Look close the compartment at base of station.

Remove all 3 containers.

Remember the cryptic note Stephan wrote on his datapad: RTL NOG - right to left - nitrogen, oxygen, gas mixture.

Insert from left to right: gas mixture, oxygen and nitrogen containers.

Adjust the gas ratio:    Go back inside the station.

Go to the computer terminal at main hall. Use the maintenance card.

Select the station controls folder.

See the air unit control adjustments at right. The nitrogen tank's link is lost.

Remember what Stephan wrote - The air generator correct levels are: 20.9% and 1.1%. The fans have to be cranked up to maximum and then lower them to midpoint to expel the bad air inside.

Gas levels:    Adjust oxygen to 22.4 first; then adjust gas mixture to 1.1. Then lower the oxygen to 20.9% (nitrogen is at 78%).

Expel bad air:    Using the controls at right of the panel, turn on fan.

Then use the up arrow to raise the level to the very top. Rachel says to wait.

Then move the level using the down arrow to midway. The machine will show that it is operating correctly.

Return to spaceship:

We need something to open the men's quarters. We will come back here later.

Click on Mobot's button right of the green button at top right to return to the spaceship.

Let's check the third planet Ambrosia. Open the solar system tab.

Click on the third planet from the sun in the green orbit.

Click on the planet in orbital view and the probe flies to Ambrosia.

Click on planet again in celestial body view and it will be scanned.

The scan showed that the planet has extra terrestrial life. The green belt on the equator is vegetation. There is a purple spot on the surface that looks artificial. There are 27 hours in a day.

Objective: Explore the jungle.

Click on the planet with Mobot cursor to fly down to the planet.

Mobot is disoriented by the flora around him. There are obvious signs of habitations.

Julia will activate a visual map once Mobot starts exploring. They will search for signs of the exploration team that was here before.

Landing site (M-5):    Examine the vegetation. Mobot notes that there is acid in the rain.

Examine the tree. It doesn't create branches. The leaves are clustered on the trunk.

Exit to jungle.

Visual map:    See the visual map.

Click on the arrows at top left of the grid or use the keyboard arrows to move Mobot on the map grid. Find points of interest at certain places.

Be sure to map-visit all points of interest. Once the points of interests are visited, they will then be jump to points. Click on them to fast travel. The important sites are shown by yellow picture square.

Current position - Mobot is seen in rotating red circle.

Julia relates the disaster that happened the last time the team was here. The exploration team fired at the inhabitants on sight. They didn't even greet them. Andrew Lark led the team.

Explore:    Click on cursor or use keyboard arrows to move around.

Observe the surroundings on the screen at right.

Obelisk at lower right of the map (L-13):

See a place that must have been made by sentient beings. There is an obelisk with a hole and swirling light inside the hole.

Examine tree at left. It looks dead. Mobot takes a sample.

Examine the insect on the vine at top of screen. It looks like a firefly. Mobot catches the insect.

Examine the dense vegetation.

Examine the obelisk. It is not naturally formed. Someone built it.

Examine the swirling hole at top of obelisk. It has a strong electromagnetic energy field. Mobot is not sensitive enough to analyze it.

Go back to the jungle and continue exploring. See that the obelisk is marked in the map.

Analyze samples: Open Mobot's analyzer by clicking on the colored circles at top right.

Insect - Bionalysis shows similarity with Coleoptera - beetles. The chemical analysis shows that the glow is caused by a phosphorous compound excreted by the insect.

Dead tree sample - Bioanalysis shows that the tree is consumed by insectoids.

First contact (I-12):

At bottom right of the map (I-12), Mobot is followed by an apelike creature that travels through the tree canopy - from one tree to another.

Mobot sees the creature. The creature makes sounds. Mobot greets the creature. The creature starts drawing mysterious symbols.

Analyze written language:

The aim is to get the bar- translation progress to the right 100%. Then Mobot learns the language.

See circles at center that has a sound wave line that dissect them.

If one or more of them are lighted - that is the sound-word made by the Ambrosian.

At the bottom of those circles are the Ambrosian meaning of those sound(s) said by the Ambrosian.

At the top are the possible translations of the sound(s).

Select the possible translation of the sounds by:

- Select-click the translation that has exactly the same number of lines as the lit circles. If there are 3 lit circles with 3 lines, look for a translation above with 3 lines connected to the center.

- Select-click the translation that has the same formation of lines connected to the lighted circle. If there are 2 lit circles connected by 2 lines at top, look for 2 lines that are formed similarly as the lines at the bottom part connected to the lighted circles.

- If the Ambrosian inflections at bottom has more than one possible meanings, select and click on all possible translations at top part.

- If choice is correct, the circles at the center will flash green from left to right.

Do the selection until the bar at top right reaches the end. Then full comprehension is reached by MOBOT.

The Ambrosian shows signs of surrendering. Julia recommends not telling about knowing the first team's visit.

The Ambrosian wants to know if they are being punished again.

Mobot talks to the Ambrosian. He tells the Ambrosian that they want to learn the way of the ancients.

It will meet with Mobot in his settlement at end of jungle. It will teach Mobot about the ancients after he has finished his explorations.

Laser gun altar (K-13):

Continue exploring the jungle.

Explore at bottom right and see a place above the first obelisk square.

Examine the glowing flowers. The light forms that covered the flowers produced the glow. Mobot takes a sample.

Examine the snail shaped plants. Mobot gets a sample of the curled part of the plant.

Examine the vines above. Rachel thinks those are sidewalks where the Ambrosians walk on.

Examine the fantastique shape. There are 2 of those statues at either side of the structure.

Examine the inside statue.

Examine the painting on the structure. It is a depiction of a laser gun.

Examine the spherical part at top of the structure. It has a funnel and has a contraption at the back of the head. Approach contraption and see symbols in a panel.

There are scratches at top of the symbols. Examine scratches. Recover inscriptions. Read inscriptions. Flow with me to understand your past. We will do this later.

Analyze samples: Open Mobot's analyzer by clicking on the colored circles at top right.

Flower sample - Bioanalysis shows that insects feed on the plants and their excreta serves as nutrients for the plants.

Curled plant - Bioanalysis shows that it is an annual plant that commits suicide by tearing itself apart to spread its seeds.

Article of power: Exit the area. The Ambrosian comes back and said that the laser gun is an artifact of power that brought many of them to ancient Xir.

Obelisk at bottom center of map (K-5):

Examine the obelisk and the swirling hole with energy.

Machete altar at middle left of the map (F-2):

Objective: Ambrosian reunion.

Go to the Ambrosian (A-7):

Ambrosian's settlement: If you have seen all 4 mystical places, the 2 altars (laser gun and machete) and the purple lake; proceed to top of the map - to the settlement.

Examine the purple plant. The berries might be food of the Ambrosians. Take sample.

Examine cocoons. The cocoons are where the Ambrosians live in.

Examine hanging blossoms. Take sample.

Examine walkway used to travel in the jungle. Take sample.

Examine opened cocoon. The cocoon can be pulled up to the top of the trees and sealed.

Analyze samples:

Fruit - It serves as food for the life forms but poisonous to humans. It has level of cyanide based compounds.

Hanging blossom plants - The plant is carnivorous. It attracts insects and traps them.

Vine walkway - The vine has been treated with chemicals to reinforce its strength.

Talk to the Ambrosian:

Ambrosian:    Examine the Ambrosian. Talk to the Ambrosian. See the communicatron. Select a topic and get information.

Environment:

Secret of the 2 altars:    They are pillar of memories built by an old branch. It was told to them by stories and legends.

To the humans it has only been a couple of years. The Ambrosians have forgotten.

It is said that one who obtains them restores faith in a better future.

Dead lake:     Essence of our doom. Our punishments... If you understand our punishment; he can reveal an important part of their history.

Strange obelisks:    The stone of enlightenment. They were created by Ith as part of their pilgrimage of enlightenment.

History:

Ask for a history lesson. They were taught the way of modesty. They were once the rulers of the bhialth- Salia solar system. The built a settlement far from here. The Masters arrived and taught them in the form of 3 punishments.

First punishment:    The first punishment was when the ancient lords came. They were proud then and thought to rule the universe. The lords destroyed cities and everything they invented. They were then trapped on this planet.

Second punishment:     Another set of masters that are different from the last told them to repent their ways or die. A flash of light changed the sacred essence of life to essence of doom. Ith the prophet performed a sacred rite and was taken by the masters to the place in the mist.

Third punishment:    Ith returned to them and they were happy. His death divided the tribe into many branches.

The leader of the branch saw the masters descend from the sky but did not meet them properly like the other greeters. The masters were offended and punished them. The leader survived the massacre because he hid. That is how they learned of what happened.

The Ambrosian is now the watcher of the skies - greeter. He hopes that they give their branch a new meaning. The Ambrosian showed hope for the future. The only hope is the ancient prophecy.

Mythology:

Ith:    Ith traveled to a place of the mist; high above third plane of existence where live the ancient gods. Ith learned how to calm the lords. He returned and during his time of solitude erected structures which they now know as preparing them for the pilgrimage of enlightenment.

Pilgrimage of enlightenment:     There are 4 empty parchments left by Ith. Ith told the leaders that the pilgrimage is ready. Since the parchments are common to them, they ignored it and subsequently forgot. After the last punishment, they resurrected the story of Ith.

The Ambrosians did the journey of Ith as a rite of passage. They are handed the parchments and left alone. They traveled to sites that Ith visited and meditated on it. Whoever understands it will be the leader. Many tried yet none succeeded.

The team will try. The Ambrosian is pleased and gave them the 4 parchments hoping that they will come back with answers.

The prophecy:    When Ith returned from the sky, he brought the prophecy. It is foretold that a wanderer from the sky will come and restore the essence of life; reverting the punishment. Somewhere in the bhialth lies a place where the essence can be discovered.

The Ambrosian draws a symbol. Mobot copies the symbol.

Artifact from altar:    Mobot says that they will get the artifacts and give it to them. The Ambrosian is in awe.

The contraption will come alive when the essence of punishment (corrosive purple liquid) is poured on it. He gives Mobot a purplish container so that he can handle the essence of punishment. If Mobot gets the artifacts, he will give them the artifact of wisdom (another item left by the ancients).

Analyze items:

Empty scrolls - Chemical analysis of the scrolls shows that they are like old photographic films.

Empty container - Chemical analysis shows that the material doesn't react to any available substance and potent acids.

Spectral analysis shows that the material is practically indestructible.

Objective: Retrieving artifacts.

Pilgrimage of Enlightenment:

It is time to travel to the sites visited and structures erected by Ith. MOBOT has the 4 blank parchments.

Go to one of the obelisks. Click on a structure with the swirling energy in the map and jump there.

Rachel recommends to expose the scroll on the swirl. LOL - Julia.

Obelisks and parchment: Expose the pergamen to the swirl. The swirl makes a visual pattern on the scroll.

Jump to the rest of the mystical places and do the same until 4 parts of map are obtained.

Analyze the visual pattern: Markings on the scroll. Enter enhanced analysis.

See the 4 maps on the left. Click on a map and it will appear on the big parchment at right.

Click on sample 04 - bottom right, then sample 01 - top left, sample 03 - bottom left and last sample 02 - top right.

The acid flows from one symbol to another following the inscription. A sound is heard.

Take the laser gun from the head of the altar.

Machete altar (F-2):

- Pour in purple liquid.

- Approach the contraption.

Read the inscription. Avoid me to learn of the future.

Lower the bars that would allow the flow of liquid from right to left and NOT pass through any of the symbols in the inscriptions.

Check each row and look for symbols that matches those on the inscription. Lower the bars only on those that are NOT on the inscription.

All the other symbols that are NOT in the inscription must have the acid pass through them.

Raise the plug at right of the first symbol not found above.

Press the lever left of the inscription to start the flow of the acid.

The acid flows from one symbol to another. A sound is heard.

Take the machete from the head of the altar.

Click on the planet in orbital view and the probe flies to Hermes.

Click on planet again in celestial body view and it will be scanned.

Hermes has 3 moons: alpha, beta and gamma.

Scan the 3 moons.

- Alpha is the second largest moon and the farthest from the gas giant. It has rock formations and shrouded in mist. It is connected to Hermes by a gas tidal bridge. Possible landing site.

- Beta is the largest moon and the surface is riddled with molten lava. Unsuitable for landing.

- Gamma is the smallest moon and closest to Hermes. It is unsuitable for landing due to security regulations.

Landing site:

Land: Send Mobot down to Hermes alpha. See that the moon is filled with stone pillars.

Julia says that has the same atmosphere as Earth but thinner.

Rachel remember the map from the obelisks and noted that Ith was transported here - the planet of the mist.

Find the place located in the map:

Julia adjusts the map viewing. Locate the structures seen in the map.

Click on the map.

The overhead view of the stone pillars is seen.

Mobot walks away and the crystalline substance rises and follows Mobot. Face to face.

Examine the crystalline being. The being examines Mobot and... teleported.

Mobot greets the being. The being hijacked Mobot's circuitry. The ancient master takes over Mobot. He speaks through Mobot and converses with the team.

Converse with the being using the commuicatron:

What - who are you? They are Guardians; hidden, watching and learning. They do not influence other beings but they can seek them. They have been hidden on endless solar systems even Earth. They are from all universe. They became eternal travelers that share knowledge throughout the universe.

It refer to the guardians as plural beings.

Hiding place:    They left messages long ago waiting to be discovered. Those that have evolved enough will understand the message. Evolution cannot be forced. The advanced beings have discovered and seek them for advice. Yet you are not ready for the answers.

History:    They observe and record. To explain more, the being scans Mobot's memory. The being says that they have the understanding of the system and its life.

Observe the monument behind the creature. He will tell more when they are more knowledgeable.

Analyzer:    Analyze the crystalline sample from the being.

Data analyzer, Biological analysis, Chemical analysis and spectral analysis result in gobbledygook.

Objective: Learning history.

Fly to rock formation behind the crystal entity.

Entrance to monument: See a door that opens with photoelectric cell.

Examine the broken handrails. Mobot doesn't have imagination upgrade installed. LOL.

Examine the stairway.

Enter through door.

To Enter The Place Of Eternal Flow You Have To Meet The Following Requirements

Be Humble Patient Knowledgeable

Only Then The Entrance Will Be Allowed to Those who Seek The Eternal Flow

Wall: Open the door at back wall and see a wall. Mobot says that the wall is not completely reconstructed.

The narrator explains it shows that they still do not have complete knowledge of this system.

Temple of Eternal flow:

Main room:    Go back to main room. The narrator says that he will open another room for them to check.

The back wall opens to an entryway.

Mobot is hesitant to enter that mysterious hallway.

MOBOT enters the large chamber. His extension closely examines the chamber.

JULIA detects a space anomaly. The liquid flowing from the chamber is ordinary water.

The team decides to find pure water. Go back to the spaceship.

Temple of Eternal flow:    See a chamber.

The glyph is the one that the Ambrosian

There is still one planet to check and other planets need answers.

Ask about other visitors:     The visitors that want to be their emissaries have failed. After accessing MOBOT's memory, the ancient replies - yes. The other wants to manipulate and dominate; it is stronger than their agreement with the ancients. They influenced developing civilization. They failed and the ancients made them leave this system.

Ask about fate of the expedition:    Rachel explains that she wants to help because of what the expedition did. The ancient became silent when questioned about whether he-they influenced what happened to the expedition. It would not explain what happened to the expedition but stated that they did not have anything to do with it.

Ask about the essence:    The failed race gave the inhabitants (of Salia 4) a trial that is unfair. One of them defeated this trial.

Upon learning that the team wants to help the people of Salia 4, he states that he will help. The ancient tells the team to do the ritual undergone by Ith. They have to slay Xir in the land of endless sand (Salia 5). They can call Xir by emitting low frequency sounds. They can get help from the depths. Then come back to him and he will explain.

Ask about Ith:    Ith was brought there by the failed race to impress Ith. Then the failed lords told Ith to undergo the ritual and that it was ordered by the ancients. This was a lie. Ith killed the lords and returned to the ancient. They tried to warn him but he didn't listen. He went back to his world and was slain.

The ancients do not get involve in internal conflicts.

If anything goes wrong I'll run away... Oh no, I'm stuck in the sand... Help me.

The game can be saved during the fight.

After getting MOBOT's head torn off 3 times; a puzzle skip is offered by the kind and understanding developers.

MOBOT:

MOBOT is asked to analyze the dead Xir. MOBOT does not respond. JULIA and Rachel wait. Oh No!!!!

JULIA asks that her VPR modules be unplugged. MOBOT is part of her and that part of her is gone. Those are her feeling modules; her probe modules will still be operational. She doesn't want to feel anymore.

They wait some more.

MOBOT wakes up. JULIA did a maintenance check and MOBOT is fully operational again. The blast disabled his electronics.

Xir is an artificial construction. MOBOT takes the control unit of the machine.

ENTERING SALIA 2

Ancient master:

Go down to the planet. Explore to go to the Temple of Eternal Flow.

Rachel asks questions of the ancient master.

Xir is a weapon. It is a show of power to be able to control such a monster. Xir's brain will be used later if that is the choice.

The ancient master states that this is the last time they will see him. He will now create a Temple of Eternal Flow. This will make them understand the secret of the essence.

The team has to pass 2 tests to demonstrate their knowledge first.

Order of the Planets: See the planets on the left side of the frame. The pictures on the right are prominent features of those planets.

The aim is to arrange the planets in order from the sun.

Go back to the spaceship. Let's go look for water.

Click on solar system box. Click on Salia 1, the last gray planet.

ENTERING SALIA 1

Land to the surface.

MOBOT analyses the surface. It is frozen water. JULIA states to cut the ice and then transport it using the cryocoffins.

It is unstable ground. When MOBOT uses his blowtorch, the ice floor cracks and he falls through ice floor.

Find the exit:

See MOBOT at top right of the screen. The exit is at bottom left: two screens down and two screens left.

Solid ice blocks with black specks cannot be drilled.

MOBOT should not fall more than one level or be under a single clear drillable block of ice. He will be killed.

The reset button is at top right of the screen.

Exit to the left.

ENTERING UNKNOWN LOCATION

MOBOT enters an underground lake. There is an opening on the ceiling that lets light inside the grotto.

MOBOT analyses the cave and finds out that the temperature is -94 degrees F. The lake is pure water and is 50 degrees. The stones around and in the lake might be responsible for the temperature of the water.

MOBOT sees a corpse.

Examine the dead body:    The corpse is a human male. MOBOT extracts 2% of the info in the datapad.

Examine the datapad:    Learn that this is the first planet that was explored. The man questioned the strange condition of the snow. Learn about his seeing the man who ordered that Rachel be cryojailed and her innocence.

He gives the artifact they were guarding. It is a holographic star map. You can't bring it back. It has to move on; same manner as the essence.

I'll return later. Jump to point of entry at bottom middle of the map. Explore and then depart.

SPACESHIP

Constellation:

Go back to the spaceship.

The holographic star map shows 4 rotating constellations.

The stars are all crowded together so JULIA adjusted the star map to show 3 layers of stars. The up-down arrow will change the levels.

The right-left arrows scroll the map.

Passing the cursor over the star map highlights a constellation. Click the chosen constellation and hear a sound. Then look for the rest.

If a wrong choice is done, click the constellation again to unhighlight that constellation. If an error is made after clicking on 4 constellations, the puzzle resets.

Click on the star map icon at the center to see the 4 revolving constellations. Use it as reference.

Select the middle level. The constellation is at bottom right corner of the right frame.	Select the bottom level or up arrow. The constellation is at bottom right corner of the right frame.

ENTERING UNKNOWN LOCATION

The team travels to the uncharted planet in the solar system.

MOBOT lands in the planet. It is an artificial planet with no inhabitants.

Go east:    At the center of the plaza is a middle sized obelisk.

Examine the obelisk:    The structure's material is too complex to analyze. Rachel thinks that it is not just a piece of art since it is strategically placed.

Examine surroundings:    The inhabitants left in a hurry. The structures are decomposing.

Explore the area to the north:    See a gigantic pillar with a weak purple light.

Examine the pillar:    The pillar has a switch.

Operate the switch:    Push and pull do not work.

Proceed to huge building:    There is a gigantic building at northeast. It looks like the rest of the structures support this building. There is a pile of biomechanical devises at southwest. Examine the door:    It is sealed shut.

Explore the broken biomechanical devices. Examine the devices.

One of the devices is still operational:    There's a little light flashing on it. Examine the active device:    MOBOT extracts the energy cell powering the device.

Return to the main building. Get back to the tower. Return to the central plaza.

Explore the area to the east:    See a moving platform. Examine the platform:    MOBOT sees a square indent on the platform. The energy cell is inserted and MOBOT moves to another pillar.

Examine the pillar:     There's a switch with a different orientation. Rotate the switch:    The pillar lights up and is turned on. A humming sound is heard.

Go back down. Return to the central plaza. Explore the area to the north.

Rotate the switch:    The pillar is activated.

Return to the central plaza. Closely examine the lighted obelisk.

Switch off the security device:    See 5 cells. Click to open a cell.

Inside each cell is a set of connected balls. Some of the balls are lit.

When a ball is clicked, the adjacent balls are toggled off or on.

The aim of the puzzle is to turn off the lights of the balls to deactivate the mechanism.


Click the balls in numerical order as shown by the pictures.

The process was too easy for the team. It seems that it is not a protection device.

Explore the area to the north. Proceed to the huge building. See that the building's door is now open.

Enter the building:    Rachel screams. Inside are a lot of deactivated Xir.

Deeper in the headquarters is a sealed door with an inactive Xir.

Examine sealed door:    It cannot be opened.

Examine Xir:    Rachel remembers what the ancient master said - The brain is the key.

MOBOT is hesitant to place the brain in the inactive Xir. MOBOT is told to run as fast as you can.

Control room:

Examine the laboratory: The device looks like an organic computer with translucent containers attached to it.

The left container is filled with the purple liquid similar to the lake in Salia 4. The right container looks like a neutralizer.

The middle container is a mixture of the left and right containers.

The aim is to have both left and right bars-gauges fill at midpoint.

Check each color and see that they fill or empty the bars-gauges.

From right to left:

White adds 9 to the left bar.

Blue adds 1 to the right bar.

Yellow adds 1 to the left bar.

Red adds 0.5 to the right bar.

Pink adds 0.5 to the left bar.

Orange (top left) adds 4 to the left bar.

Click on (top left) orange once, yellow (middle) once and pink (leftmost) once.

Look closer at the holovision: Watch events in the past.

See the reason the submarine at Salia 3 crashed. Learn the report that there is no life in Salia 5. Andrew Lark was told that Salia 6's living condition is ideal.

Rachel confronts JULIA.

MOBOT finds out that this machine has recorded their entry into system from the beginning. He can scan and calculate the route to return to earth.

Return to probe. Save game here!

Salia 4

JULIA learns that the chemical formula from the artificial plant's lab is a reversal process for the water pollution in Salia 4.

Rachel has to decide.

Julia found a stash of arghinium at the artificial planet. It is enough to either manufacture the chemical that will neutralize the lake or travel back home.

Save entire planet or go back home.

Rachel discusses the pro and cons of the decision. The possibilities...

Choose wisely!

Left is Earth and right is Salia 4.
