## In-Game Description

I'll need to get into the Department of Scientific Research and Industrial Research to get a frammistat, so I can open up that quarantine blockade. It's hard to miss -- it's got a huge ARKWRIGHT LABS ontop of it these days.

I suspect the brains of the operation are in that office overlooking the sharp floor. I should probably start there. Maybe they've got a spare frammistat. I'll start by going there and knocking politely.

Don't seem to want visitors. And yet I need to get in there. Dammit.

There must be another way into that office. I'm surrounded by technology. I bet there's some clever way I can use it to get in...

Quite a sturdy looking cannon. What might the rest of these machines do, I wonder?

I'll need a valve handle to fix the Sublimator.

The Electrowave Stimulator seems to be missing some kind of special battery. Probably looks like a power cell, but different.

There must be a spare nozzle around here somewhere. I hope there is, anyway.

I'm pretty sure that cannon could knock a nice big hole in that office. It would need a lot of power, though. It seems to be charged up by that ridiculous fan on the back end. Maybe I can use those curious machines to charge it up somehow.

I hope the director can give me a frammistat, after all this fuss.

## Walkthrough

Upon reaching the Department of Scientific Research, the player will have to travel the spiral staircase to the second floor, where a mechanical gate can be opened in order to get inside the building. It is advised to wear a Boiler Suit before entering to reduce suspicion.

Proceeding to the Director's Office from across the hall will prompt Arthur to realize that it's locked and that he must find another way in. The cannon is able to break Richard's room. On the ground are five prototypes that has to be fixed before they can be used.

The battery can be found in a small storage room on the right. The nozzle is stuck on a broken Hot Flash behind the storage shelves. The valve is in the corner of the bathing area. After fixing all the parts, the player will then travel to the control room and align the devices in a firing position.

Occasionally, there will be a worker walking into the room and become hostile upon spotting Arthur. Pulling the level will cause a chain reaction, ultimately resulting in the Pneumatic Cannon blasting through the office.

Enter the room and talk to Richard Arkwright to finish the quest.

After the gets the frammistat, the player can take the elevator inside the office with Arkwright in order to get into a secret area with a couple of neat weapons as a reward.

Arthur: I've been out at the, uh...

Worker: At the uh.... I'm so sorry. Never mind then.

### **Arkwright**

Open/Close

Richard: I suppose you're the one I have to thank for the hole in my wall.

Arthur: I did knock.

Richard: Don't be silly. Do you know how long I've been asking them to fix the Hot Flash? I can't even remember!

Arthur: Oh, ah, the power cell was missing.

Richard: Oh for heaven's sake. They said they had to wait for a part.

Richard: Look, without help or even a manual, you fixed three machines and triggered a chain reaction.

Arthur: Yes, well ... sorry about that.

Richard: I need a chap who can figure things out. Would you like a job?

Arthur: I'm afraid I'm sort of trying to get out of town.

Richard: Why? This is the best of all possible worlds! Nothing gets done, but everyone's happy!

Arthur: You seem sort of exasperated, actually.

Richard: Don't tell anyone, alright?

Richard: How are you getting past the quarantine gates without a frammistat?

Arthur: I was hoping to get one from, ah, here.

Richard: They've been pestering me for one. Tell you what, I'll give you one, and when you're done with it, give it to them from me.

Arthur: That's very kind of you. I will.

Richard: Here, look around, if there's something else you can use, take it.
