Speculation: if you turn off the shields while the system defense is on, it will eventually be safe(r) to leave the station in the shuttle, if you have the IFF transponder (because you won't bump into the shields, and the transponder will stop the system defense from shooting you). Maybe. Some current remaining mysteries:

−
(1) Could you do anything else in engineering apart from getting the EVA suit? Is there a way to break the safety glass? Is there a way to speak into the microphone? Once you've left engineering, you can't come back again (because you get dizzy but no longer have any pills).

What is the text of the note trying to tell us about toggling the cannon? Once you've left engineering, you can't come back again (because you get dizzy but no longer have any pills).
 
(2) If you go back to your room (green level), it says that it's so white that you can't see anything. Is there a way to make it less white so that you potentially could see some object?

(3) Still wondering about the left escape pod door and/or the voice control for the shuttle on the brown level.

(6) Where can we usefully use the omega code, large blue laser, or rubber ball? They all seem pretty destructive in most contexts...  [[User:Schoen|Schoen]] ([[User talk:Schoen|talk]]) 05:12, 5 April 2022 (UTC)

OK, I got something else (which may constitute victory!). From PEIKINGRAVIOLI, you can SIT ON COUCH, SEARCH COUCH, PRESS BUTTON (disabling the shields). If you then go back to your room (green level), you can GET WHITE ENVELOPE (you have to guess that it is there, since you can't see it). Then you can go to the shuttle bay (brown level), get in the shuttle, and READ ENVELOPE to the computer. You can then PRESS BUTTON and it then attempts to take you back through space to return your rented movie, and you escape from the station. (The cube from the couch on the red level is necessary in order not to be viewed as hostile while making your escape.) As we haven't apparently used the laser, omega code, rubber ball, or puddle, I wonder if there's more game content or subplots still to be found.

It seems that the comic is no longer interactive. It's been replaced by a GIF that simply alternates between checked and unchecked. The comic.js and morse.js files are still requested by the comic page, but return 404 errors. [[Special:Contributions/172.69.68.20|172.69.68.20]] 16:23, 3 October 2022 (UTC)
