The Red Airlock

How do I get into the Artifact?

  1. You won't be able to walk away from the Red Dock area, since without metal for your magnetic boots to cling to, you would be flung into space. You can open the Red Airlock door.
  2. Have you examined the sculpture on the door?
  3. This is a symbol recognizable by any space-faring species.
  4. Try drawing it as described on a piece of paper.
  5. This is a symbolic representation of your solar system. The bumps are an indication of the size and orientation of the sun and planets.
  6. You are being tested, Earthling. What do you think the makers of the Artifact want to know?
  7. Your home planet, Earth, is the fourth bump. (The sun is described as the first, Mercury would be second, Venus third, Earth fourth.) Try pushing the fourth bump.
  8. See the tiny column hint below.
  9. Congratulations, you have passed the test. Take your reward (the black crystal rod) and enter.
