by MaGtRo about 45 minutes to read

To get
pass the wall:


            
Ticket office – The train moves closer to the wall and then stops. Exit to
the right side of the coach. Go talk to the ticket man – Oscar at the
building. He needs a visa to go any further and usually an authority is
nearby to give such authorization for passage. Go to the back of the
building and try a lock door behind the building.


            
Wall entryway – Go to the door on the wall seen on the left side of the
building. Enter and climb the metal steps. <Olivia from the office
calls about Dan>. Take the ramp at the bottom of the screen to the
other side of the giant door. Enter the observation room of the border
patrol.


            
Border patrol office – Talk to Captain Malatesta, a Hitler like version of
the border patrol. Ask about mission. He will not release any visa
because of an enemy spying on him. He has been observing this spy for
years. Ask about Hans and find out that the gate is one of Hans work
before he left the university town. Look in the telescope and see a dead
tree – the Cossack spy. Look at the desk and see a broken pair of
eyeglasses and 2 wineglasses. Place the Yangala-Cola powder in one of the
wine glass (green residue at bottom) and then add wine to both glasses.
Kate gets the Captain to dink the wine with the eye acuteness drug. He
looks on the telescope and realizes his wasted years. After Kate’s attempt
to raise his spirits, he gives the exit visa.


           
Ticket office – Give the exit visa to Oscar and get another ticket
departing from Barrockstadt for place unknown.


           
Train coach – Give the ticket to Oscar. The train travels to land
unknown.  Watch another well-done graphics display – the sway of the
weeds when the train passes.


Komkolzgrad


Exit the coach at
the right screen. Go to the front of the train and Oscar will call Kate
over. As usual, Oscar will give excuses why he cannot help Kate look for a
winding machine. Go to the left screen to the end.


Industrial
Complex:


          
Worker Automaton – Climb the leg of the giant worker automaton. Pick up
the Komkolzgrad voice cylinder, Hans’ plan for the worker
automaton and the handle from the locker above the bed. Turn right
to the control panel of the automaton. Insert the handle in the slot at
the center of the panel. Click on the top part of the slot twice to move
the automaton towards the train. Push the red button to wind the train up.
Click twice below the handle to return the automaton to original position.
Exit the automaton.


Find
the Hand Bandit:


         
Hand Bandit – A man comes out of the train coach and runs to the building.
Enter the building and see that the door is locked. Go to the coach, into
the bedroom and see a tied up Oscar. Oscar was attacked and his hands were
stolen. Pick up the metal shears on the floor left behind by the
hand bandit. Go to the display area and play the Komkolzgrad music
cylinder. Listen and learn that Hans worked for the Russians and made
contribution by replacing the workers with automatons.


         
Worker Automaton – Exit the coach and go back up the automaton. Move the
automaton forward once. Go out and jump over to the ledge.


         Building
– Look inside the building through a hole on the wall. Use the metal 
shears on the hole and Kate cuts through. Enter and go forward. Look close
at the metal shelving on the left and pick up a spark plug. Look
through the 2 windows. The door is locked. Go back out to the automaton
and return it to the original position.


Exit and go to
the other end of the ramp, pass the train. Pull lever at the end of the
ramp to raise the mine elevator. Enter to go to the mine. <Dan calls
but the reception is not good.>


       Mine – Look at the
generator to the left. Insert the spark plug between the metal plates and
then pull the lever at the left. Light comes on.  Enter the mine and
note a ventilation duct on the right. Move forward until the other
elevator. Turn to the right passageway and climb the metal steps. Look
close at the automaton sitting in front of an organ setup. Pick up the
screwdriver. Go back out and try the metal door by the overhead
monitor.


        Monitor room –
Go to the left of the screen and look close at a metal sign by the ladder.
It is a picture of a head. Use the screwdriver to remove the plate. Climb
the ladder. Enter the door to the left and see the hand bandit watching
the monitors. He is Serguei Borodine, director of this complex. He raves
about converting the workings of the complex into one giant organ and
needed the hands for his organist. He built the whole complex for Helena
Romanski, a singer. He has a room dedicated just for her (room was lowered
to be accessed). They reached a compromise, for Kate to bring the singer
there and he will give the hands back. Exit and see a monorail on the
right.


Finding
Helena:


         Helena’s
room – Enter the lowered room and then go forward. Look in the drawer.
Look at the scrapbook of Helena. She sang with Frank Malkovitch,
the tenor that Kate’s mom is dating. Get the cell phone, press the up
arrow until Mom’s number comes up and then press send. Kate asks her mom
about Helena and Frank said that she was ill and went to rest in a spa
called Aralbad.


         Monitor
room – <Dan calls>. Enter the room and talk to Borodine about
everything. Kate might get a vehicle from the drunken fool at the space
compound on the plateau. The monorail will lead to the cosmodrome. Go
out the room and enter the monorail on the right of the
screen.


Cosmodrome:


Go the metal ramp
at bottom of the screen. <Get a phone call from Olivia and learn that
she and Dan are now dating>. Go forward and climb the metal stairs.
There are 2 ways to go, one up the stairs on the left to a foghorn that
does not work yet and to the right. Go right.


         
Boris’ quarters – Climb the steps and enter the quarters. See the former
cosmonaut drunk. Talking to him is useless. Pick up the vodka
bottle on the floor. He goes out for air and watch him fall off the
railing. Guess we have to get him conscious enough to talk. Go back inside
the quarters and look at the open cabinet above his chair. Take the
key and letter about The closure of the Voralberg Spring
Loaded Launch Pad Project and the laying off of all the test pilots. Poor
Boris!


Go outside and
look at the control panel. Insert the key at right silver lock. Go down
and around towards Boris and see a wheel by the railings. Turn the wheel
to open the water line. Go back to the control panel. Click above the
inside vertical lever. Watch where the water flows. Move Boris to that
area by clicking to the left of the horizontal lever and then click above
the outer vertical lever. Now, revive Colonel Boris Charov by clicking
above the inner vertical lever. Talk to Boris about everything, especially
about Hans and bird. Hans help build the Russian space
program but stopped when he realized it was for dropping bombs. Soyouz,
the last mechanical eagle takes care of the birds around the overhead
rails.


          Space
Compound – Turn to the right and enter the space compound. Look at the
space ship Hans build. Go to the right and forward. See all the birds
around the airship. Climb the metal steps to the airship. Go back and talk
to Boris about the airship.  He gives the airship key.
Go back and enter the airship using the key. Pull the lever and realize
that it does not work. Go down and go to the left side of the space
compound.


          
Spaceship controls – Talk to Boris and he makes a deal with you about the
airship. He wants to get up to the stars to live his dream and he will
tell you about the airship. Climb the metal stairs to the control room.
Take Voralberg key and insert it on the cross shaped lock –
switches on the control panel. Open the rectangular plate on the right of
the panel. Attach the 2 lines together. Push the round knobbed lever
up.  Take the blood testing apparatus on the right. Go down
and get blood from the pilot – Boris by clicking the blood testing
apparatus on him. Go back to the control panel and insert the blood
testing apparatus in its square slot. Click the syringe icon button and
Boris’ blood was rejected because of too much alcohol. Guess we have to
use Kate’s blood by clicking on the blood testing apparatus. That accepted
it since the light turned yellow. Click the left most button to raise the
container that carries the pilot to the spaceship. Light is yellow on that
also. Click the button of the 2 arrows to take the pilot to the ramp. See
Boris walk up to the ship and when he says that he is ready, press the
triangle button. What is the secret of the airship? Boris throws a crank
on the floor of the compound. Thumbs up!! There he goes and Boris’ dream
is fulfilled.


         
Foghorn – Go down and pick up the red crank handle by the entrance
to the space compound. Go to the ladder to the left of Boris’ quarters and
the big round cage tower. Climb up and go to the back ramp to the foghorn.
Use crank handle on red hole on the foghorn stand. That releases Soyouz,
the mechanical eagle from his cage and scares away all the birds from the
airship.


          
Airship – Go to the airship and pull the lever and enjoy the ride.


Aralbad


Exit the
spaceship and go forward until the hotel. <Get a call from the
obnoxious Mr. Marson>. See a railway area on the north, winder-ready
for Oscar’s train. Look at the fountain. Enter the hotel.


To get
to enter the Spa:


          Hotel
reception area – Talk to Felix Smetana about everything. Try to get to see
Helena. He goes back watching the game on TV. Go to the left screen and
then bottom screen.


See a gate to the
spa area and a door to the utility room. Enter the utility room and get
the detergent form the cabinet. Exit to the fountain outside. Pour
the detergent in the fountain. Go back inside and open the curtains facing
the reception desk. Try to talk to Felix but he is busy watching TV. Ring
the bell on the desk. He sees the fountain.


Enter the
reception desk area and look at the Register book. Look at 5/6/1981,
Helena Romanski, resident and her code is 1270. Pick up the
brochure of the Edenor Hotels, look inside and see that a phone
number for their hotel in Paris, The Meurizt is written – 46433643. Press
the red button on the counter to open the door to the Spa area.


          
Spa – Enter and go to the right and around to the opposite end, passing a
raised thermal pool, a chessboard and a close door. Enter the alcove at
the opposite end of the entrance and get a crystal dish.


          
Lounge – Go forward and talk to the automaton with a wheel chair. Talk to
James, the automaton nurse of Helena. Talk to him about everything and
find out that an admirer of Helena made him. He looks exactly like Oscar
and that Helena is doing her daily constitutional by the sea at the end of
the pier. He knows Hans but Helena had a disagreement with Hans and was
forbidden to talk about him.


To get
to the pier:


          Pier
door – Go to the right screen and see a console by the door to the pier.
Try entering Helena’s code – 1270 and pull the lever, but that does not
open the pier door. Go to bottom of the screen and enter the baths again.
See that the closed door is open now. Enter the locker room and pick up
the access card with a temporary code of 0968 off the floor. Go back to
the pier door console and enter 0968. That opens the door. Go in and pick
up a gas mask from the wall.


         Pier – Exit
and by the door, see a stand at the bottom of the screen.  Walk down
to the end of the pier to the gazebo and talk to Helena. She wants you to
call her valet, James and they will talk inside. Try to go down the gazebo
but Felix arrives very angry. Helena stops him from forcibly taking Kate
out of the hotel. Go down the gazebo and look close at the bell stand on
the left side. Pull the chain several times and then go in to talk to
James. Place the gas mask back on the hook.  He will not come out
because he did not hear the bell. Go back and take the bell from the stand
and bring it to the stand close to the pier door. Hang the bell on the
stand and pull the chain ( clicking at 2 different places on the chain
produces different bell sounds).


           
Lounge –  Talk to James again. <Mom calls>. James wheels Helena
inside. Talk to Helena about everything. Learn that George the barman at
The Meurizt in Paris has concocted a miracle cocktail that gave Helena her
voice back one time when she lost it before a performance of Tatiana. She
calls Hans her sweetheart.


To make
the Blue Helena:


           
Lounge – Use the cell phone and dial the number for The Meurizt taken from
the brochure on the reception counter – 46433643, press send. Get
connected to the bar and ask for George. He is gone but the new barman
reads a list of the recipes he left. Blue Helena – a measure of vodka, a
measure of Blue Curacao, a measure of honey, dash of lime and ice cubes.
Shake together.


          
Honey – Open the cabinet at the base of the bar. Take the cut lemon
and the crystallized honey. The honey is solid and must be
liquefied. Go to the spa area and to the raised thermal pool by the
chessboard (which is now used by 2 men in a pool). Turn the wheel on the
wall to raise the temperature of the pool and then place the honey on the
now heated pool to get liquid honey. Go back to the
bar.


          Bar –
Look close at the bar. Place the lemon on lemon squeezer at the left side
top row. Place liquid honey at empty contraption at right end of top row.
Pick up the rolled paper by the top counter and find the list of liquor
with the corresponding music signs. A bottle is missing from the bottle
dispensers. Place vodka on slot beside the honey of the top row of
bottles. Press the red I/O button to turn the machine on.


 Remember
that the base clef sign on the bar is on the left and the treble clef is
on the right. So read the list of alcohol turned to its side with the base
clef on the left and the treble clef on the right. Press the second from
the left piano key to get a measure of vodka while the switch is on
the base clef sign – original position. Flip the switch to the right and
then press the 3rd from the left piano key to get a measure of Blue
Curacao. Press the honeycomb button to get a measure of honey. Press the
lemon button to get a dash of lemon. Press the snow icon button to get ice
cubes. Press the barman icon on the right to shake the cocktail. A
cocktail comes out and Helena drinks it. If it is wrong, Helena will be
upset. Just make a new one and check the switch. If successful, Helena
will sing and she thinks that her voice is bad and that the George’s
cocktail did not work. Kate and James think otherwise. Helena has lost her
confidence.


Talk to Helena
again and James remembers that she tests her voice in breaking a crystal
glass. Place crystal glass at the end of  the bar by Helena. Talk to
Helena again and she will sing. The crystal glass breaks and she gains
confidence. She will go with you to
Komkolzgrad but James will be left behind. Kate will get
the airship ready. <Kate gets a phone call from Olivia and hears
Olivia’s confession about her new relationship with Dan, Kate’s
fiancée>.


Watch and listen!
Helena arrives in the airship and they travel to
Komkolzgrad. Helena sings! Applause!
Magnificent! A cage drops over her and the insane Borodine traps
Helena.


Komkolzgrad


Escape:


       Stage – Climb up to
the stage and calm the petrified Helena. Look close at the padlock of the
cage. Use the metal sheers on the padlock. Look close at the automaton
organist and use the screwdriver on the hands to get Oscar’s hands.


Go down and go to
the bottom of the screen. Kate meets Helena, opens the metal door and
Helena walks in. A gate comes down to seal the door and Borodine wants
Helena and the hands back. Kate gives Oscar’s hands to Helena, bides her
to go to the train and get Oscar to prepare for departure. Kate will try
to escape.


          
Mine shaft – Go to the top of the screen to the mine elevator. Go forward
to the other end. The door behind gets blasted. Pull the lever to get the
elevator down. The elevator comes down with dynamite on it and explodes
sealing that end also. Now, Kate is trapped. Go forward and enter the
ventilation duct.


Go to Oscar at the engineer’s cab.
Talk to him and he said to take a seat at the coach and regulations will
be ignored for the moment. The giant worker automaton moves closer to the
train.


        Train coach –
Go to the train coach. <Dan calls and tells Kate of his day without
mention of Olivia until Kate did so. Their relationship, Kate’s change of
attitude and outlook are discussed>. The train is still not moving.


       Automaton –
Go back out and talk
to Oscar, he says that there are rods that came out of the giant automaton
and it blocks the train. Go to the blasted mine elevator and see an open
crate at the bottom of the screen. Look close and take the
dynamite. Go to the giant automaton. Place the dynamite on the
automaton’s leg. Kate runs to the coach and tells Oscar – Let’s get out of
here! Watch the automaton explodes and falls on the industrial
complex.


Aralbad


James takes Helena back to
the hotel. Get off the train and notice snow on the ground. Go to the
other end of the train platform. Talk to Oscar. Kate and Oscar are good
friends now. Oscar is evolving. Crank the wheel of the winder and then
pull the lever.

          
Hotel Lobby – Go inside the hotel, ring the bell and talk to Felix. Go
back to Oscar and talk to him again specifically about Kate and
mission. Felix rushes out and says that there is a package on the
counter for Miss Walker. The package mysteriously appeared on the counter.

Go back to the hotel and
look in the box at the end of the receptionist counter close to the TV.
Pick up the mammoth automaton. <Get a call from obnoxious
Marson  >. The phone rings on the counter and Felix informs Kate
that Helena wants you at the bar.

         
Lounge – Talk to Helena. Helena expresses her feelings about her fame and
illness. She talks about Hans and says that maybe you should meet the
plane for New York that brings in the supplies. James also says that the
air is clearer since the snow has removed the salt in the air and it is
good to take a constitutional.

         
Pier –  Go out to the pier and finally meet Hans Voralberg. Kate
talks to Hans and tells him about Anna and the factory. It was suppose to
be Anna on the train.  He signs the contract without reading it
because he cannot read. < Marson calls and Kate tells him the contract
is sign. Marson already has another big case for her. He jokingly says not
to lose the contract on the way home>. Hans says that he will now ride
on the train and will go to Syberia. Hans asks Kate if she will ride the
train with him. Kate stutters and Hans says maybe take the airplane that
goes to New York then. Kate leaves and goes to the airplane.

 Kate
struggles to make a decision.

 

 

Kate makes her
decision.
