You find a long ladder, leading upwards. Of course, you could wander the maintenance halls, if you so desire. |

I climb the ladder until I reach the floor where the artillery is. Time is of the essence!

Is it the kind of Hazmat suit that will protect me from the vacuum of space? Or just a regular one, used to handle hazardous materials?

Alright, then. I don the spacesuit and open the airlock if I can.

You don the suit, it's rebreather will give you oxygen for about 30 minutes. You leave through the airlock. You enter the weapons platform, filled with consoles and switches. |

I try all the typical mutant codes for signaling SOS with cannons. If I fail to get a positive response with that, I try several international codes.

What's the insignia on the carrier? Any stuff identifying it?

Huh. I suppose this is the ship I'm supposed to salute. Did I do an artillery salute correctly?
