The final mission for destroying skynet is obviously very difficult.
Difficult enough that I personally can not give you the exact locations
of the keys to access the security sections.  But here are some hints to
look for:

	1.  Go slowly down the the corridors so that you won't get seriously
	    injured as well as destroy a reasonable amount of opponents.
	2.  Go to the security levels where the locked corridors are.
	3.  When you go there, you have to go to the back end of the halls.
	    These halls lead to other sections with various rooms to enter
	    and exit.
	4.  What you have to look for are the security emplacements that
	    hang from the ceiling.  These indicate that the key that leads
	    to the reactor relays is near by.  The one I remember best is
	    the Alpha relay.  It lies dies north of the gun emplacement.
	    It is heavily defended and is the most difficult to obtain.
	5.  You have to go play a lot of hide-and-seek with the machines.
	6.  You may at times have to hide in a nearby room to repair your-
	    self, before going on.
	7.  When you get into each security corridor, use your automap to
	    find the relay.  It is like a maze in there, so procede care-
	    fully.
	8.  When you reach the relay, lay down a proximity mine and back
	    off.  When you do that, there will be another key laying
	    in the relay's place.  This key enables you to leave the
	    corridor.  Check your inventory to see what I mean.
	9.  Remember to play hide-and-seek with the enemy.  Repair damage
	    when you can.  You have the time.
	10. When all relays are destroyed, return to level with the reactor
	11. Lay down the fuse and RUN.
	12. Don't bother to destroy enemies, just head for the elevator.
	13. On the first level, just run straight through no matter if you
	    are being fired upon.  Remember you have thirty seconds.

	14. If you did all of what I said then you should by fine.  And
	    CONGRADULATIONS on destroying SKYNET.

When I completed the game I used the following configuration:
	LArm :  Armour
	RA :  Armour
	RShoulder :  100-WATT PPC
	LS :  COM-TECH repair unit
	RWaist :  AUTODOC
	LW :  Thermolite

Using this configuration, I used the PPC and the Thermolite together when
I wasn't damaged.  If I were seriously damaged, I took a defensive position
in a nearby room or place I have open field of fire on approaching enemies
and switched the thermolite with the COM-TECH for repairs (or used AUTODOC
if I was dying).

This is a very hard and long mission.  The time it took me to finish it
was 2 hours.

Don't be discouraged when playing it.  If you are careful, use the
automap feature, and are quick with your reflexes, you will be fine.

HAVE FUN and enjoy the END GRAPHICS.
