beacons.  However, more of these terminals can be activated

until they are unlocked by loading the 'DT security pass' disk

into a normal computer terminal.  When you access an

unlocked DT the screen will display which of the nine DT's

you have activated so far.  When all nine are activated go

down to the lower (engineering) level of the ship via the

elevator and find the tenth DT, access this terminal will

start the self-destruct countdown.



NORMAL TERMINALS

Terminals can be seen as computer banks with VDU screens

atop them.  Many of these terminals can be found scattered

around the ship.  To access a terminal simply walk into it.

Once entered, the screen will present you with a menu.

To choose an option simply press the corresponding number

key.  Most of the options are switches and will only work if

you have the relevant disk.  You can check this by using the

inventory function.



DOORS

These are sliding doors.  Simply touch them around their

centre area and they will open, and close once you have

passed through.  Some of these doors are locked so you 

must be carrying the door key to open them.



ELEVATOR

This is distinguished by having walls on three sides and a grill

floor.  To switch the elevator on the 'elevator activation' disk

must be loaded into a normal terminal.  The elevator will carry

you down to the engineering level where the warm

pipeworks provide a perfect lair for ... something.



TRANSPORT BLOCKS

These are recognised as they are large blue squares.  They

must first be switched on before they can be used.  This is

done by loading the relevant disk into a normal terminal.

The purpose of transport blocks are to take you from isolated

parts of the ship which can not be accessed in any other.



ENERGY BARRIERS

These beams of force block pathways, making access to

certain parts of the ship difficult.  However, they can be

deactivated by loading the barrier control disk into a normal

terminal.



THE SCREEN

At the top of the screen are some information graphics.  On

the left is a six-digit score counter below which is a red bar

showing how much energy you have remaining.  Above the 

score an 's' will appear when you pick up an energy shield,

and disappear when it is used up.  On the right hand side is

the countdown timer.



SPECIAL BONUSES

You will receive a bonus score proportional to the amount of

time you have remaining when you activate the tenth DT.

Also a considerable bonus score is given if you manage to

escape in the shuttle, thereby completing the adventure.
