Teleport Access
Throughout the long winding corridors on many of the decks,
youll come across certain teleports which only provide access
to the first level of each type of work category (Engineering,
Research etc). To reach Research Levels 2 & 3, youll need to
find other teleports.
Whats Happening?
It always pays to find out from other members of the crew
Whats happening?
This way you can keep up to date with the latest events.
You wont always find out whats actually happening, but
whether it be the engineering crew unhappy about human
experiments, or the medical crew fighting against the latest
radiation victims, at least youll know something.
Remember, knowledge is power.
The Need To Know
Once youve spoken to various people aboard the Icarus
station, Special Information will become available to
you. This means: – Youll gain access to other levels on the ship,
– Youll become involved in other plots,
– Earn respect from other crew members.
Lets face it, we need to know everything thats happening,
its human nature. Of course, other natural acts certainly
become appealing, especially when you take a shower with
Hamie Lucis in her quarters (just remember to bring a paper
bag – Teri Hatcher shes not!).
Different Strokes
Each member of the crew has one of four basic character
types: Dominant, Submissive, Silly and Serious. Handling
the individual should be done carefully, so insulting them
is not a good idea. Even a little charm can prove disastrous.
And yes, I know what youre thinking, Maybe if I used a
little charm on a young lady Id get a little action.
Im afraid not, I already tried it. Well I suppose youll
save yourself a few seconds there (what, twice!). If the
character seems submissive (Malichek), you should issue a
command, eg Give me the Radiation Report. However, if
the character is quite dominant (Dr Luvey), rather than
being forceful and sounding like an arrogant prat, you should talk
in a friendly manner.
The Cliques
There are 62 people aboard the ship. Not only do they
fall into four mood types, they also fall into four job
categories: Engineers, Scientists, Medics, Security.
As youd expect, being stuck on a bucket of bolts thats
heading for certain death (always the optimistic!),
theres bound to be a little friction.
The Engineers basically dont like the Scientists due
to a major difference of opinion. So when you help an
Engineer, those stuck-up smartipants Scientists are
usually a little less likely to lend assistance later on.
S.U.Z.I.E. Terminals
In order to access information on members of the crew or for a
glance at the plans of the station, just log onto this
impressive database and let your fingers do the work.
