Atmosphere!

Be very afraid

That's hardly all the reasons to be terrified, dear reader. Oh no, there's plenty more. First, you can hear them. You can hear them speak, mumble, moan, groan and shreak. The louder it is, the closer they are. You turn around, and turn back again. Nothing. You do it more slowly, and move as you turn, to look behind corners and into windows. Still nothing. Safe? Maybe, but the door won't close, and you can still hear them. It might take you almost a minute to hack this lock... You've got to make a choice - look around and get rid of them, or get this door open and find the Dr.

You'll be using this lots

Gee think he's giving a plot hint?

What's that sound?

You decide to look around. Skulking about, you move up to a corner and lean over (yes, you can do that - you could do it 5 years ago, in the original :), nothing there. There's a green light - good, it will let you see around the next corner. You move closer, and the light turns yellow, then red... funny, there aren't supposed to be traffic signals on a spaceship... wait a minute, that's not a light, it's a security camera! And the ship controls the cameras. The ship controls them, the ship...

That's one thing you don't fight w/ a wrench

He'll hear you sooner or later

Caged animal

The ship, for all intents and purposes, might as well be a god - one that doesn't like you. It sees you, senses you, feels your wretched presence in its halls and rooms. It wants to destroy you like your body destroys invading bacteria. Unfortunately for you, it also has a lot of means at its disposal to do so. From security droids to hybrids, everything is out to get you. Even a lab monkey you stumble across will star tearing into your hide the first chance it gets!

Smart! It doesn't shoot indestructible glass

Ahh upgrade central

Its eyes, the cameras, are everywhere. There is no place safe for you. You can only hope that you shoot them before they see you, or that you hack and disable the security systems for a few minutes here, a few minutes there.
