IN BRIEF: *You're a lowly member
of the prestigious Stellar Patrol,
but life isn't as glamorous as
you'd expected. As the game begins,
you find yourself scrubbing
floors under the scrutiny of a
sadistic ensign. After an odd series
of events, you wind up on a deserted
planet. But why is the
planet deserted? And what do
you do while you're there? For
clues, read on. ...*

The brig isn't the best place to be during an explosion,
but the escape pod is.

<span style="font-size: 1.5em; line-height: 1em; font-weight: bold; color: #BA0;">🗝</span>
The WAIT (or "Z") command is very helpful. Don't
neglect it.

<span style="font-size: 1.5em; line-height: 1em; font-weight: bold; color: #BA0;">🗝</span>
Once you get to the ruins, one of your first priorities will
be to find the Kitchen Access card. Without it, you'll die when
the food from your survival kit runs out.

<span style="font-size: 1.5em; line-height: 1em; font-weight: bold; color: #BA0;">🗝</span>
You can't get to the game's "best" ending unless you
fix the Communications Systems. Make this one of the first
stops on your list.

<span style="font-size: 1.5em; line-height: 1em; font-weight: bold; color: #BA0;">🗝</span>
Don't try to carry every thing you find; many items are
designed to distract you. There's a limit to how much you can carry,
so take only what seems important. You can always go back
for anything you missed.

<span style="font-size: 1.5em; line-height: 1em; font-weight: bold; color: #BA0;">🗝</span>
In the ruins, you'll encounter the "Dial Room." You'll
see a lock there. Don't waste time trying to guess the combination.
It will be revealed in due time.

<span style="font-size: 1.5em; line-height: 1em; font-weight: bold; color: #BA0;">🗝</span>
Spend some time in the library. You can find out a lot
about your mission simply by studying the reference material.

<span style="font-size: 1.5em; line-height: 1em; font-weight: bold; color: #BA0;">🗝</span>
Keep Floyd, the robot, with you. He can bring you
something that no one else can. Two somethings, in fact.

<span style="font-size: 1.5em; line-height: 1em; font-weight: bold; color: #BA0;">🗝</span>
How do you get the card from the bio lab? Maybe some
one can bring it to you.
