    o knockouts, taffer. Not a one. Scared? Proceed ahead, pick open the first door on your right. Turn left, spin the wheel, and dive in. Follow the passageway until you reach a dead end, look down and open the drain cover. Continue until you surface in a small pool within a cavern. Two passageways exit from this cavern, use the one that takes you east. At the end of the passage use the empty torch holder to gain access to Maintenance. Pass through and up the stairs to the first floor.
   After reaching the first floor, open the door, turn right, open the next door and proceed ahead through the Conference Rooms. Crouch past the last one to avoid detection.



*bang bang bang* Hey you! I robbed you blind. I robbed your upper crusty butt from here to- HEY LET ME GO! I was kidding.

   Go through the door after the last conference room and stay crouched until you reach the corner where the desk meets the wall. Let the conversation finish and after all parties have left the room slide over to the control panel. Throw the main gate switch to open it and the alarm switch to shut off the system. Before leaving the Front Desk spin around and visit the water cooler, grab all six water arrows. Exit out the door heading east.

And I Says, "Ya baby, ya! Ya!!!"

   Turn left then a quick right, go up the stairs. Don't worry about the guard triggering the alarm, he can't, but don't taff he may come looking for you. Atop the stairs douse the gas lamp, actually I would suggest dousing all the gas lamps on this floor, to me if there is a place to get caught it will be here. Check your map, there are two offices we need to visit. In Lt. Hagan's office take the handkerchief from his desk and in Lt. Mosley's office grab the key and the water arrow from in front of her plant if you want it. When you are done, take the stairs back down to the first floor. Turn right and go down the hall to the intersection. Turn right again and proceed through the mess hall and down the corridor until you reach a room with a torch and a stationary guard. On your map this will be marked as the entrance to the Records Area in the upper right corner.

   Douse the torch and use your creep key to sneak in the shadows hugging the walls until you reach the door. Take the key from the guard and open it. Head up the stairs to the Secured Records area, its the first door on your left. The secured records/vault key you grabbed in Lt. Mosely's office will open it. Read the book and make a note of the vault code. Then, use whatever means you choose to get back to the second floor, read up on the secrets for ideas, or just simply backtrack your way to the staircase. If you do bactrack, douse the torch at the bottom of the spiral staircase, sneaking past the guard while leaving the Secured Records area is always trickier when its lit.

   Once on the second floor, head to the room in the north west corner, labeled on your map as leading to Evidence Storage. Put out the torch, pick the lock and go up the stairs. At the top crouch and crawl forward until you are under the lip of the desk. Douse the gas lamp, then make your way to the vault. The greenish key you grabbed off the stationary guard will open the first door, the vault code will open the second, and finally the secured records/vault key will open the third. Help yourself to the goodies just be sure that you grab the strongbox and that you drop the handkerchief in the room. Dropping the handkerchief is done by selecting it in your inventory and pressing the drop key. Drop key? Yeah, you heard me, if you don't know what it is press esc, select Options->Controls->Customize Controls... and look it up, you may have to bind it to something. With the handkerchief planted, get back down to the second floor and drop the strongbox in Lt. Hagan's Office.



The courtyard is relaxing, and if you are in a bind with guards in pursuit jumping into the well helps. Believe me, I have done this.

"An Object at Rest, Can not be Stopped"

   The home stretch, thief. With the evidence planted, head back down to the first floor. Proceed to the Front Office and continue straight on through the closed door, then the double doors, and out into the night. If you should have guards pursuing you at this point it doesn't matter, in fact it makes the escape more exciting. :-)
