    Head south to receive an E-Mail from Polito containing the passcode for Utility Storage 4.
  4. 4
    Find Utility Storage 4, use the passcode to enter, and retrieve a [Hazard Suit].
  5. 5
    Proceed west to the xerxes screen. Exercise extreme caution with robots; engage them from a distance using Armor Piercing bullets.
  6. 6
    Find the Security Access Card and proceed to the security booth. You can heal and upgrade skills here using the surgical unit.

    Explore Cargo Bay 1A/1B to find the Cargo Bay 2A/2B Keycard.
  9. 9
    Go to Cargo Bay 2A/2B and explore to discover the code for Engineering Control.
  10. 10
    Return to Engineering Control and use the code to access it. You will learn that Xerxes has disabled the Fluidics Computer, requiring an alternative solution.
  11. 11
    Go back to auxiliary storage 5 (chemical storeroom) and open the door with its passcode.
  12. 12
    Obtain the correct circuit board and return to Command Control.
  13. 13
    Insert the circuit board into the slot and return to Engineering Control.
  14. 14
    Activate the Fluidics Computer.
  15. 15
    Manually restart both engine nacelles.
  16. 16
    With the radiation leak contained, return to the coolant tubes and access the Engine Core.
  17. 17
    Visit both Nacelles and activate them.
  18. 18
    Activate the Main Power Computer in the Engine Core to power the elevators.
  19. 19
    Attempt to reach Deck 4 to meet Polito, but be aware the elevator shaft is blocked by an organic mass. You must stop at Deck 3 to find a way to dispose of this mass.
Tips
  • Be extremely careful with robots after reaching the xerxes screen; use Armor Piercing bullets for ranged combat.
  • The security booth offers a surgical unit (a medical device for healing) and skill upgrade opportunities.
  • The elevator shaft to Deck 4 is blocked, requiring you to find a solution on Deck 3.
