E-mail me if you have questions or additions to the guide. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Coming Soon: .gif map on GameFAQs of the mines of Oriens Gamma IIIB and a special in-depth guide detailing how to board the Nakatomi and how to rescue the hostages on-board. =============================================================================== 2.0 Bridge Commands =============================================================================== ----------------------------------------------------------------------- 2.1 communications ----------------------------------------------------------------------- This is where you answer hails from ships/planets or send hails to other ships/planets. When the communications beacon above the main viewscreen is blinking, you are being hailed. When a ship approaches or when you approach a ship/planet, you can hail them. No saying whether or not they will answer the hail, though. When communcating, either on the ship or as an awayteam member talking to another individual, you simply read the text that is being relayed to you. That is the yellow text. The blue text represents what you are saying. Everytime you say something, you have the choice of saying two separate things. By pressing Left or Right on the D-pad, you can switch between the two things available for you to say. Saying different things may result in a battle with a Romulan Scout or a peaceful solution. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- 2.2 conn ----------------------------------------------------------------------- The CONN is your navigation system. When you enter the CONN command, all star clusters you are able to travel to are listed, along with their distance from you current location and how much travel time is neccessary at your current speed. To navigate, you pick the star cluster you would like to trave to (i.e. ORIENS), then the star (i.e. GAMMA), and then one of the planets orbiting that star (i.e. IV). You may even choose to travel to one of that planet's moons (i.e. IVB). The location of that moon would then be Oriens Gamma IVB. After choosing your location, you choose the speed you would like to travel at. The standard speed is WARP 6.20. You can travel as fast as WARP 9.20 and as slow as ALL STOP. Exceeding the speed of WARP 6.20 may cause damage to the warp engines unless you allocate resources to repair and maintain the warp engines. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- 2.3 ready room ----------------------------------------------------------------------- This is where you can speak to Picard and get directions on what to do next. Each time you get a new mission, recieve a distress signal, or are engaged by hostiles, Picard has something new to say. It is always recommended by this FAQ author to read what Picard says whenever some- thing new happens in the game. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- 2.4 engineering ----------------------------------------------------------------------- This is one of the most vital parts of the bridge. Here, you can see the different systems of the Enterprise. Also, you can see how much resources you have to devote to these systems. Since it is a very limited amount, it is suggested by this FAQ author that you distribute your resources among shields, weapons, and engines. Shields should have the most resources, because if they are repaired quickly, it will protect other systems on the Enterprise. The shields sub-section of engineering allows you to allocate shields among different sections of the ship (i.e. Foward, Aft, etc.). The weapons sub-section allows you to allocate resources for either your phaser banks or photon torpedoes. The engines sub-section allows you to allocate resources for the warp engines, the impulse engines, and the auxilarly engines. The rest of the systems, if damaged in battle and not repaired by allocating resources to these systems, will cause the said damaged systems to cease to operate until they are repaired. For example, a partially damaged communications system will result in blurry picture and text. A fully damaged communications system will result in zero visuals and zero text. It is imperitive that you repair any damaged system. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- 2.5 computer ----------------------------------------------------------------------- The ship's computer is an archive of information about alien cultures, alien vessels, Federation vessels, and information about the Enterprise and its crew. It has a lot of information which is good for nothing but reading on your own when you have nothing better to do. The one valuble function of the ship's computer is the 'Mission Log.' Here, you can save and load a game. Be careful though, because saved information is easily lost (at least on my cartridge). ----------------------------------------------------------------------- 2.6 sensors ----------------------------------------------------------------------- The ship's sensors give you various information about whatever is on your viewscreen. If it is a ship, it will tell you the name of the ship, the number of crewmembers, shield %, etc. If it is a star, planet, or moon, it will tell you the class and whether or not it is breathable. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- 2.7 tatical ----------------------------------------------------------------------- You can only access this command when you encounter an enemy ship and it is displayed on your viewscreen. In this command, you see an over- head view of the Enterprise and any enemy vessels. You also see a diagram of the Enterprise and its shield grid. This changes colors to show damage to the shield and/or systems of the Enterprise. You also see a yellow bar labeled 'Photon Torpedoes.' This is an indicator to how many photon torpedoes you have left. And then their is the Shield/ Systems damage bars of the enemy ships at the bottom left hand corner of the screen. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- 2.8 transporter ----------------------------------------------------------------------- This is where you can form an awayteam of up to four members to beam down to a planet's surface or onto a vessel. See section 5: characters for more information on the crewpeople you are able to choose from. =============================================================================== 3.0 The Walkthrough =============================================================================== ---------------------------------------- Distress Call from Dr. T'Laris ---------------------------------------- As soon as you begin a new game, you are receiving a distress signal from Codis Nu VI. Romulans are on the planet and Dr. T'Laris needs you to rid the excavation site of them. Set a course for Codis Nu VI and when you arrive beam down only one away-team member. I would beam down Worf or Data. Beaming down more than one will just leave the three non-command teammembers in the open to get shot by Romulans. Once on the planet's surface, switch to your phaser and shoot the Romulan to right and the top of you. Walk through the passage directly above where you beamed down and shoot two more Romulans. Then, there will be one more through the passage to the right and below. Then, flick the switch in front of the middle structure and talk with Dr. T'Laris. Once done, you will be beamed back to the Enterprise. ---------------------------------------- Epidemic on Oriens Alpha IV ---------------------------------------- This mission is no biggie. Once you leave orbit around Codis Nu VI and arrive at any other planet, you will be hailed by Admiral Baldwin, telling you there is an epidemic on Oriens Alpha IV and they are in desperate need of medical supplies. Set a course for Oriens Alpha IV and you will be stopped shortly before arriving there and find and badly damaged unknown alien vessel. If you go to the Ready Room, Picard tells you of his dilemma over whether to proceed directly to Oriens Alpha IV or helps the alien vessel. Either way, it doesn't matter what you do. But, go to Oriens Alpha IV first since it only takes about four seconds to complete this mission. Upon arrival, you are hailed and thanked. ---------------------------------------- Unknown Vessel in Distress ---------------------------------------- Return to the unknown alien vessel and prepare an away team. This time, take as many teammembers as you please. As soon as you beam down, the ship is pretty dark and if you choose Data, you'll see everything easier in blue. If you choose LaForge, everything is easier to see in green. Both have special opticals for night vision. But, this is not neccessary since the lights are only off for a few seconds. Once on board, the first thing you should do is get the lights back on. Go to the top of the room and at either the left or the right of the top of the room, there are cabinets, each with a power conduit in them. Once you have both power conduits, go to the bottom of the room where you'll see a wall of power conduits with two missing. Place the two you conviently found in the cabinets into these two slots to restore the lights and open all but on of the doors on the ship. To the left of the power conduits, you'll see two computer circuit pieces. You need to collect these in order to repair the main computer. The room you beamed down into, if you read the description given by a tricorder is engineering. Through the door at the bottom of engineering, you can enter the shuttle bay. In here, you'll have your first encounter with the ship's security system. A laser shooting robot. Also, on the northen wall of this room you'll see a robot regenerator. Everytime you kill a robot, this thing creates a new one. So, destroy it and then the robot to get rid of it. In this room there are two more computer circuits. Next, enter the door to the bottom right of engineering. This is the cargo hold and it seems like a big maze. It's a very simple maze. At the top right of the cargo hold, you'll find a pressurization pump that you need to take and also two more computer circuits. Exit this area and go through the door to the bottom left of engineering. This is the Med. Lab. To the south of this room you'll find a security robot, but you don't need to bother with it. Stay along the northern wall and walk past the two cabinets to find two pumps and two more computer circuits. Now, enter the door to the north of engineering. This is the computer room and directly ahead of you there is the damaged main computer. The point of collecting all these computer circuits was to place them in this puzzle-like structure to repair the main computer. Ignore it now, because there are still some more pieces you need. To the north of the computer room, you can find the ship's bridge. There is nothing of use in here. But, you can find some alien robots and see the malfuctioning alien viewscreen... if that floats your boat. To the left of the computer room is the crew quarters. There is a door in this section that is closed off because of inadequate pressurization in the room. So, place your pressurization pump next to the door and enter. At the top of the room, you'll find two more computer circuits. Exit this area and go back to the main computer terminal and head to the east to more crew quarters. Two rooms to the east, you'll find two more computer circuits. Also in this area, if you search outside the room with the pressurization pump you'll find two more computer circuits. Return to the main computer because you now have every single computer circuit from the whole ship. Only certain pieces are broken, and only certain pieces will fit. You need to connect the two circuits surrounding the broken circuit. It's incredibly simple. For the piece in the last section of the computer, you have picked up to pieces that would seem to fit. Only, the two are slightly different in color. Make sure the blue and purple of the piece you put in match the surrounding pieces. After all circuits have been successfully put in, you will get a message saying that the main computer is now operational. Return to engineering, and place the alien pumps with the red symbols on them into the slots that have the same red symbol above it. There are three pumps you should have, but there are only two slots for them. Once the two pumps are in place, and you switch down the switches next to them, the main engines will become operational. Then, all ship systems will be operational and the awayteam will beam back up to the Enterprise. Once back on board, you will be hailed by the aliens you just saved and they will tell you about a lot of stuff and give you a device called the Tavad. ---------------------------------------- Miners in Distress ---------------------------------------- Pretty soon after saving the alien vessel, Admiral Baldwin will hail you and tell you about a distress call received from miners on Oriens Gamma IIIB. Once you arrive, you need to make an away team. I suggest keeping the team smaller, because of little creatures that pop out of the floor and prey on the team- members at the back of the awayteam conga line. The most valuble member for this awayteam would be Geordi LaForge. His visor makes him able to see the mineral deposits in the walls of the mine. Later in the game, you will need to collect these, but if you send him down now, you can collect them on your first run through the maze while saving the miners. Using the .gif maps I have created and the brief walkthroughs that are to be used in conjunction with those maps, this extremely difficult part of the game should now be easy. Floor 1 On this floor, there are two cacooned miners and 12 mineral deposits. Whenever you come to a cacooned miner, shoot the cacoon with your phaser to free him. The objective right now is to save all the miners. If you are searching for the mineral deposits now, whenever you come to a location on the map that shows a deposit, select LaForge and the deposit in the wall will glow blue. After saving the two miners (both located at the north of this floor), head for the elevator to the second floor. Floor 2 This floor has three cacooned miners you need to save. Their locations are on the map. This floor also have 13 mineral deposits. In the center of the level, there are train tracks with small train cars running across them. When you attempt to cross them, do it quickly because they take out a hefty amount of health. After you have freed the miners, go to the elevator that leads to the fourth floor. Floor 4, Part 1 The fourth floor is separated into two parts by a deep chasm. On this side of the chasm, there is one cacooned miner and nine mineral deposits. Once you save the sole miner who is located just west of the elevator leading to this floor from the second floor, head to the elevator shown on the map that leads to the third floor. Floor 3 Like the fourth floor, the third floor is also separated into two parts by a deep chasm. But, on this floor, their is a point when a bridge extends for you to cross to the other side. There are three cacooned miners and six mineral deposits on this floor. Two of the three cacooned miners are on the side of the floor that you start on. The third miner is located across the chasm. Go to the location marked 'B' on the map and press the button. This will make a bridge available for you to cross the chasm. On this side of the chasm, there is an elevator that leads to the other side of the fourth floor. Floor 4, Part 2 This is the otherside of the chasm on the fourth floor. There are two cacooned miners and five mineral deposits. Once you save the last miner, you will be thanked and then beamed back up to the Enterprise. ---------------------------------------- Return to Codis Nu VI ---------------------------------------- Once you're done with Oriens Gamma IIIB, you may want to head to a Starbase and get healed up (StarBase 202: Codis Zeta V & StarBase 220: Pintor Alpha VIII). On your way their, you will be hailed by Dr. T'Laris. She summons you back to Codis Nu VI because she has vital information. Make your way to Codis Nu VI and send an awayteam of one person. There are no Romulans on the planet now, and all you have to do is talk to Dr. T'Laris. She reveals more about the IFD and offers to help figure out what the Tavad does. Once she's done talking, you will be beamed back up to the Enterprise. ---------------------------------------- The Search for Radny ---------------------------------------- Shortly after leaving Codis Nu VI, you'll run into a non-Romulan vessel. When you are hailed by a Ferengi, he tells you about the elusive Ferengi trader called Radny, located somewhere in the Codis Star Cluster. Instead of searching all of the planets in the system, head over to StarBase 202 (Codis Zeta V) and StarFleet's Admiral Hilloko will hail you. You will be given the chance to ask her about Radny, and she tells you he was last known to be on the planet Codis Zeta V, right below the StarBase. Set a course for Codis Zeta V. The planet has no hostile aliens, so beam down just Deanna Troi, the only crew-member the traders at the outpost will talk to. Instead of searching all around, search the four corners of the room. Each corner has a door leading to a smaller room. I've played through the game several times, and to my knowledge, each time Radny appears in a different room. No matter, though. The outpost is small and it isn't a hard task to find Radny. Once you find him, you negotiate for information on the Romulans. Once finished, the awayteam will be beamed up to the Enterprise. ---------------------------------------- SS Nakatomi in Distress ---------------------------------------- Once you're back on-board the Enterprise, set a course for a nearby planet or StarBase 202 and you will receive a distress call from the SS Nakatomi, a Federation cargo ship. Set a course to Tytris Iota IV and head for the SS Nakatomi. Once you arrive, you are hailed by the ship. When you answer the hail, the view screen displays a rather ugly alien in control of the ship. The alien is a Chodak, an extremely hostile race who you will encounter again later in the game. This Chodak does not want to negotiate, and escapes with the hostages. BUT WAIT! There is a way to board the SS Nakatomi and rescue the hostages. It in no way effects the rest of the game, and the mission is very hard. For information on this and a walkthrough on how to do this, see my In-Depth guide entitled "Boarding the SS Nakatomi." (tentatively located at: http://members.aol.com/starchild2064/guides/star_trek_tng/nakatomi.txt) ---------------------------------------- Back to Codis Nu VI... again. ---------------------------------------- A little while after the SS Nakatomi is gone, the codes you got from Radny will enable you to receive a message from Romulan Command. It has nothing of value to you right now, but immediately after you read it you are again hailed. This time by Dr. T'Laris. She has found the use of the Tavad. Go to the CONN command on the bridge and Worf will pop up and tell you that their sensors have detected a disturbance in the Verinator system. After reading this, set a course of Codis Nu VI. On the way there, you may run into Ferengis and Chodak ships. You can either fight them (the fun option) or warp past them (the safe option). Once you arrive at Codis Nu VI, beam down and talk to Dr. T'Laris. She will explain more about the IFD and the use of the Tavad. She will explain that in order for it to work, it needs a certain type of Ore fuel. This can be found on Oriens Gamma IIIB. Remember the cacooned miners? Well, if you followed by maps and suggestions to collect the Ore while saving the miners, you should already have the materials to make the Tavad work. Otherwise, head back to Oriens Gamma IIIB and use my maps to collect the mineral deposits. You'll know you have a enough when Picard says in his ready room that the Tavad is operational. ---------------------------------------- The Anamoly ---------------------------------------- Once the Tavad is operation, set a course for the sub-space anamoly located in the Verinator star cluster. Once you arrive their, it will transport Picard to the surface of a planet. Also there is a Romulan and a Chodak. There are no hostiles here. Simply keep going north and stand on the leftmost platform. A three-headed entity pops up out of the hole in front of you and explains what is about to happen. He says the first test for control of the IFD is the Test of Strengh, which will take place on the planet with only one moon in the Verinator cluster. Picard is transported back to the Enterprise. ---------------------------------------- The Test of Strength ---------------------------------------- The Test of Strength will take place at Verinator Beta IIIA. But, before going their, make sure your ship is fully repaired. You may want to go to StarBase 202 (Codis Zeta V) to completely repair everything and restock on torpedoes. Next, go to engineering and make sure you allocate your resources in the best way for a large battle. I suggest about 50-65% of the resources go to Shields alone. Next, evenly distribute the rest among Weapons, Engines, and Hull. You need your weapons always otherwise you can't fight back. If your engines fail, you're a sitting duck. And if your shields fail, you need your Hull to stay strong or risk being destroyed. After all your preparations have been made, set a course for Verinator Beta IIIA. As soon as you arrive their, you will be attacked by Drones and Robots. Drones usually attack from far away and constantly volley photon torpedoes in your direction. About three hits to any section of the shields will cause that section's shields to fail. The best way to destroy drones is to get up close while constantly moving and fire phasers like crazy. Robots, like drones, fire a lot of photon torpedoes. But, they also fire phasers sometimes when you are close to them. They also move faster. The way I like to kill these guys to to fire photon torpedoes at them as I'm approaching to lower their shields and then bombard them with phaser fire. You start off fighting two ships, once one dies, another one appears. This continues until you have destroyed about 8-10 enemy vessels. Once you defeat the enemy threat, you will arrive at Verinator Beta IIIA. Fix all your systems by allocating resources to them, especially the transporter if it is severely damaged. The next part of the Test of Strength involves going down to this icy moon. The best awayteam for this mission is Picard, Data, Worf, and Riker. They are the strongest. Beam down. This level is very large. Their are different things that have to be done in different locations, so I advise that you follow this walkthrough from beginning to end if you are going to use it for this level. Otherwise, try doing it yourself. If you get lost, it'll be hard to find where you are in the walkthrough. First, have Worf exit out the door and go down and left until you see a locked door with a switch next to it. Press the switch and the door will open. Go north until you reach another switch. Press it and it will open a door slightly east of it. Go through the door and go west until the passage goes west and south. Go west and you'll find another switch. Press it. The door it opened is located southwest of here. Go through this door and south until the passage goes west. Then go north and then west and then south at the first turn going south. Keep going south until you reach a wall. Go west until you can go south again. Follow this next path west and then north and hit the switch at the end of the passage. Next, have Data exit out the door near the starting place and go down and left past the turn going north to the door opened before by Worf. Walk north until you see an already pressed switch and for east to the wall. Then north again. Follow this path until it branches off to the right and the left. Go left and follow this path up and around the wall. Walk west past the frozen ice wall past the first turn-off going south to the second turn-off going south. Go south-west for a while until you come to a point where you must either go west or north. For now, go west and follow the path upwards until you find a switch. Press it and backtrack to the west and north intersection. Go north this time through the now-opened door and then west and up and around the wall. From their, go north as far as you can and follow the long passage going east. When the passage opens up into a big room, you'll see a frozen ice wall to the north. Shoot it and inside you'll find one of two valve pipes. Go south into the big opening past the door with a switch next to it and down to near a small passage that goes north. Here, you'll find another sheet of ice on the wall. Shoot it and get the second valve pipe. From here, backtrack to the starting place with Data to meet up with Picard and Riker. Now, with Data, Riker, and Picard all together, take the team out of the starting place and go north at the first possible turn. Keep going north until you run into a wall and proceed east and then north again from there. From here, go east and then south down a passage that leads to a big open space with a robotic alien and big furry fat alien in it. Destroy both threats and go north up the passage to the east of this room. At the top of the passage, you'll find an opened door (opened by the Button Worf went to the other side of the level to push). In the next area, you'll see a closed door to the northeast, and a another closed door with a switch next to it to the northwest. Press the switch next to the closed door and press the switch inside the room opened when you press the switch. The closed door to the northeast of the room will now be open. Go through the opened door towards the north until you reach a wall. Then head west and then south and you'll see three passages, all leading to a large area near a river of greenish-water. In the middle of the area is a retracted bridge and a large machine. Go to the machine and place the valve pipes in each of the empty triangles and then press the big switch. This will allow you to cross the bridge. Once you cross the bridge, you'll see four separate passages to the north of you. Have Data alone go through the second passage from the right. Go north to the large, closed door. Go west from here and then north again until you reach a switch. Flip the switch, and have Data continue to stand next to it and hold it. Switch to Riker. Have Riker go through the passage all the way to the right. Have him go north to the wall and the east. Then, turn to the north at the first turn going north. Once you reach a wall, go east to the next wall and then south. Head to the west on the second turn in the west direction. This will bring you to a large, open area. In the middle is a small passage going south with a bridge. Go over the bridge to an area with a switch. Have Riker press and hold the switch. Switch to Picard. Have Picard go through the second to the right passage (the same one as Data did before) and go through the previously locked large doors. To the northeast of this room is a switch. Have Picard flip and hold the switch. Switch to Data, again. Bring Data from the switch he is standing next to back to the large, open area near the bridge the team crossed before. This time, have Data go through the second to the left passage. Follow this passage all the way around and you'll see a bridge. Go over the bridge and flip the switch in this area and hold it. Switch back to Picard. Now that Data has flipped the switch in the area he was in, you will be able to pick up the Shard of Strength in the center of the room that Picard is currently in. Once you do so, the awayteam will be beamed back up to the Enterprise. ---------------------------------------- The Test of Compassion ---------------------------------------- After the awayteam is back on the Enterprise, set a course for the sub-space anamoly in the Verenator cluster. The three-headed figure tells you about the next test: The Test of Compassion. This test takes place at Verenator Gamma VIE. Set a course for Verenator Gamma VIE. Once you arrive, prepare an away- team of at least two members and beam down. Have one of your away-team members go west towards the body of water. Walk along it until you see the lily pads appearing and disappearing. Use these to walk across to the other side of the water. On the northern end of the other side, you will find an alien who tells you about his friend who is trapped in a cave and gives you a Crystal Amulet. Go inside his hut and you'll be able to pick up a Crystal Orb. Have the awayteam member head back across the water and pick up the other awayteam member. Go to the northeast of the level and you'll find a path blocked by a large boulder with two encarved eyes in it. Put the Crystal Orb in the right eye and the Crystal Amulet in the left eye and it will roll out of your way. Head north up the passage and then to the west. There is now a jungle area in front of you. Walk along the jungle area and at one point you will be able to enter it. Head a little north or south until you can walk along through the forest all the way to the west. Then head north and then east out of the forest and to the entrance of a cave. Enter the cave. There are two switches that will activate a bridge to the other side. When only one away team member is pressing one switch, he incurs damage. So, place an awayteam member in front of one switch and the other member in front of the other switch. Have one of the awayteam members press their switch, the switch to the other awayteam member and press the other switch to activate the bridge. Walk across and talk to the alien on the other side and you'll receive the Shard of Compassion. You will then be beamed back onto the Enterprise. ---------------------------------------- The Test of Wisdom ---------------------------------------- Once again make your way back to the sub-space anamoly at the Verenator star cluster. The big three-headed thing will tell you a clue to find the next test. Just head over to Verenator Delta V. For this test, you will need a four member awayteam. Their will be a lot of team-work. Once you beam down, you are in a room with four switches. Have each member of the awayteam press one of the switches to open the door. This will lead to a room with a cut stone that you should take. Go straight through the next, empty room. In the next room, there is a certain path you must take in order to make it through. If you step off this invisible path, you are transported back to the beginning of the room. Starting on the first beige diamond floor tile, go north two tiles, west one tile, north two tiles, east three tiles, north one tile, west two tiles, and north two tiles. Then exit through the door. Go through the next passage to the end where there is a crumbling wall. Shoot it with a phaser and enter the next room. This room contains a very difficult puzzle. Have one awayteam member stand on the only floating tile. Have another awayteam member go up towards the five switches. The next few diagrams show where floor tiles appear after each button is pushed. XX represents the empty abyss. ## represents a floor tile. AT repre- sents where your awayteam member should be standing before the next button is pushed. It also represents a floor tile, obviously. First, push Button #3.

Shoot the wall and exit. In the next room, press the button to the north to make the maze crossable for the other awayteam members.

Have one awayteam member stay behind and hold the switch as the other three walk to the open door. Have your awayteam stand in the middle of the open door and have the awayteam member who was left behind to hold the switch catch up. Exit all through the door. Run quickly to the southeast of the next room, where the door is, because there is a trap in the floor that pops up in random places. If one of your awayteam members happens to be standing where it pops up, a big of life is taken away from them. The next room is empty, except for a door to another empty room with a door at the southern end. The door leads to a room with another floor trap. Run quickly south to the next door. In the next room, you'll find another button maze. This one is harder.

At the end you'll find a transporter pad. Step on it and you'll be transported to another room. This room has four transporter pads. Two to the north and two to the south. You are beamed in on the northwest one. Go stand on the southeast one. In the next room, once again stand on the southeast one. In the next room, go to the transporter pad direct- ly east of the one your are transported in on. This will bring you into a room with a cut stone. Take it. Now take the northeast transporter pad and enter the door when you beam to the next room. The next room has a bunch of pillars. Standing in different places in the room trigger certain pillars to move in certain ways. Walk straight from the door to the pillars ahead of you. Walk east against the pillars all the way to the wall. Next, walk back west three pillars, and then all the way south until you reach the wall. Follow the wall west until you reach the wall again. Next, head north to the pillars. Then, keep walking east along the pillars, and around the seventh pillar you should be able to walk north with no problems. Exit through the door. In the next room, there are objects that move horizontally across the room. First, there are two in a row. You need to cross one awayteam member at a time. Stand either completely to the right or to the left, and when both objects bounce off the wall almost at the same time, run across. Next, run past the next, single boulder. All the way to the right, you'll find a third cut stone. The four alcoves before that each have a switch. Make each awayteam member cross the room and push a switch. Once all four switch are push, the door in the east part of the room will open. Have each awayteam member again cross the path of the single moving object and then go through the door. Go directly east through the next, empty room, and through another door. In the next room, there are three open slots on the northern wall. Place a cut stone in each. This will open the door to the south. In the next room, push the button directly to the left of the door. Then, open the transporter replicator to the right of the door and take out the transporter pad. Close the replicator and push the button again. Another transporter pad will be their. Do this one more time for a total of three transporter pads. Go to the southern end of the room and place a transporter pad on each of the empty transporter pads on the floor. Have all four awayteam members go onto the southern-most transporter pad. Have three awayteam members each stand on one of the discolored floor tiles to open the door to the north. Have the one awayteam member that isn't standing on any- thing go through the door and north until you find a switch. Have this awayteam member flip and hold the switch. Take the other three members of the awayteam back to the room with three transporter pads. Have the three awayteam members step onto the upper-left transporter pad. In this area, have one awayteam member flip and hold the switch to the northeast of the room. Have the other two enter the door north of the transporter pad. In the next room, have one awayteam member flip and hold the next switch which is the northeast of this area. Have the remaining awayteam member go through the now opened door to flip and hold the switch to the northeast of the next area. Have the two previous switch-holders go back to the room with three transporter pads. In the next room, there is a platform near a switch and a platform that is accessible to you. Have one awayteam member stand on the accessible platform, while the other goes to the large floor area. The object is that each brown diamond tile on the floor, when stepped on, makes a new platform appear. But, the old one disappears. This means, as soon as the awayteam member on the floor steps on another brown tile, you have to quickly switch to the other awayteam member and move him as quickly as possible to the next platform before the other one disappears and you must start over again. The XXs represent the brown floor tiles. 1 is the starting tile and 2 is the ending tile. --> shows the direction needed to be traveled in order to make the correct platform appear for the other awayteam member. -->---->---->---->| ^XX XX XX XXv | -->----2 | ^XX ^XX XX XXv | | | ^XX ^XX XX XXv | |<----<----<- ^XX XX XX XX |<----<----<----<1 Once you make it to the end, hit the switch. Have the other awayteam member go back to where there are three transporter pads and you'll find the Shard of Wisdom. You will then be beamed back to the Enterprise. ---------------------------------------- The IFD ---------------------------------------- Set a course for the sub-space anamoly in the Verenator star cluster. Warp by any confrontations you have on the way, unless you want to go through a long and dangerous fight with Robots/Drones. Once you get to the anamoly, Picard will be beamed down. Head north and talk to the three-headed thing. It will tell you that their is one last test. You are automatically beamed to the test site. DON'T STEP IN THE LAVA. As soon as you are beamed down, take out your phaser and fire at the alien directly below you. Once it dies, it will tell you something. Run and place the Shard of Strength on the pillar to the left. Put the Shard of Compassion on the pillar to the right. And once the big alien moves, put the Shard of Wisdom on the pillar that pops up out of the ground. Game Completed.

Where can I buy this game? A. It is a very hard-to-find game. I found it at a small thrift store that looked like an in-door garage sale. You may not be able to find one around your town, but you can always find a website that sells old, used Genesis games or even try ebay.com. Q. Can I get onto the SS Nagasaki and save the hostages? A. Yes! You can. When first talking to the Chodak, if you choose the following to say, you will be allowed to board: 'You have hijacked a Federation Freighter' 'It is you who lacks strength' 'Most certainly not' 'One moment' 'Perhaps another accord can be reached' 'Very well. There is one more option' 'We only ask that you return our people' 'Understand that it will take some time to evacuate' 'Now it is you that makes the joke' 'Really, commander, you aren't afraid of us, are you?' If you would like an in-depth strategy guide that tells you exactly how to save the hostages (although it has no effect on the ending of the game), see my strategy guide, entitled "Boarding the SS Nagasaki" tentatively located at: http://members.aol.com/starchild2064/guides/star_trek_tng/nakatomi.txt. Q. Where are the StarBases? And what do they do? A. There are two StarBases. StarBase 202 at Codis Zeta V and StarBase 220 at Pintor Alpha VIII. StarBases repair all damage to the ship, restock a full complement of photon torpedoes, and heal any injured awayteam members. Q. I have a question. Why isn't it here? A. As of know, this is the first version of this guide, and I have yet to receive any e-mails on this game. Therefore, I have no Frequently Asked Questions. But, any question that is asked through e-mail copious times will eventually make it onto here. =============================================================================== 7.0 Legal Disclaimer =============================================================================== This Version of the Legal Disclaimer was last updated on 8/4/2002.
