(C) OLEG Bobryshev


   So, in this program you appear as a cracker
(Hacker) computer network. You are prompted for a passcode.
How do you know him? After several apparently unsuccessful,
attempts to offer assistance and reported that the new code - 
the secret location of the test site. The hour is not easy!

Continue futile guessing and then we turned off from
network. But ... security system suddenly turns off and you
invite a concern MAGMA LTD.

   Here you can immediately offer an underground remotely
controlled device (SRU), in other words, the robot. Model
AXD-0310479, is suitable for covert operations.

   Then offer to take the test. To pass it, it is necessary
to put an end to the DUT and press the "fire".
Tested the following devices: - Infrared Sensor
video - the "head" of the robot - Asynchronous
seal data - "claw" - hydraulic actuator - selected
color - the connection Flamzona (FLAMZON JOINT) - Centre back
wheels - Port Thalmann (TELMAN PORT) Guide "on the back";

   If you do not find these devices from the first time, you 
will be offered take the test again, otherwise you get this 
message: "Diagnostic test passed. No errors found."


   After that, you get to the main map. Here you will be asked
enter the name, and then set the current time. Why is it
done, I did not Pona, although there is speculation that
night side, you rarely notice the satellites - spy.

   Once you have completed the spacecraft configuration, you 
will be told that the robot located in the South Atlantic, and 
begins the main game. You control the robot, marking its route 
through underground tunnels. Recommended from the first game 
neskilkih to map these tunnels, so you do not get confused.


   By the way, making a map, I found that to get to Australia
impossible. As soon as you approach it, get the message:
"You have entered the protected zone. All remote devices have 
been ordered to leave the test area.


   According to the directive, your modem will be disconnected. 
"Goodbye." 

   This, of course, the end of the game, but it can be 
concluded: The test site is located in Australia!


   Check: to answer the initial question AUSTRALIA, and 
bypassing tests will be immediately on the stage of 
installation time! 

   Generally, as I noticed while in this game is considered 
moves. Then is, all actions (specifically - issuing posts) 
occurs through a specific number of moves, if you take one 
course moving one point grid map.


   Communications provided on a particular course, only six.
I quote them in his translation. Each of the reports entitled
MAGMA LTD. PROJECT UPDATE.


   REPORT 1. Issued at the start: the latter task well
reached a given depth. Successful temperature control
surface of the plasma provides an unlimited supply of energy and
world domination.

   Attention! Seismic reflection point to the possibility
heat output of control, leading to the destruction of
continent. All devices can only leave
test site!


   Report 2. Issued on the tenth move. The headquarters of 
intelligence reports that the spies had stolen parts of 
shredded paper containing personal information of concern 
PROJECT MAGMA. 

   Your mission: using the robot to trade with these spies
return all parts of the document before the evidence
reach of federal agents. You start with the standard
sum of money for the operation of this kind. You should buy
evidence or to buy a product that can be exchanged for
evidence.

   Warning! Although intelligence is not just determined that
requires every spy in exchange for a piece of evidence, but
aware that some spyware can take things that
required by other spies.

   What can I add to this? This is an exact and exhaustive
instruction to the game. With one "but." Since the information
designed employee corporation and not a hacker, your job,
obviously, Pramila opposite - to deliver the evidence by the 
federal agents.



   Report 3. Issued on the 28-meter run. Warning: oscillations
energy in the reactor damaged sopritivlenie shift reactor.
Expected to work with intermittent long-range scanner.

   In practice, this means that you can still see
on which square you have guided the scanner, but probably will 
not know which exits lead from this location until it is there 
does not arrive. 


   COMMUNICATION 4. Issued on 55 th move. Panic! Invasion!
Detected a security breach. Springs show
that the underground tunnel system penetrated the enemy. 
Evidence threatening the existence of "PROJECT MAGMA" should 
not reach Washington, DC. Secret satellites enabled.


   After that, over the map begin to fly far from harmless
satellites. But for them - later.


   COMMUNICATION 5. Issued on 96 th move. Warning! As
According to the report of injuries in the remote unit
Tracking the phase shift has occurred. System 
otkazala.Prodolzhayte carefully.


   After this message, the scanner fails altogether. Its
location can be defined only by memory. That's where
very useful for mapping!


   COMMUNICATION 6. Conclusion. Issued for the 181-meter run. 
You have exceeded the necessary ache of time. Due to the recent 
trouble caused by invasion, you are deemed a security threat. 
Your modem disabled. Goodbye.


   The game after that, naturally, ends. Thus,
to accomplish the mission in less than 181 course.


   Thus, the problem yasna.Neobhodimo visit ten cities across 
the light, and then provide the evidence obtained in

eleventh city - Washington.

   During the game you will interfere with satellites safety.
However, for a skilled hacker, they are not a hindrance. Here 
are their needs. 

   The first level of security: What is the name of the 
company. Reply obvious - MAGMA, LTD. Please note that after the 
decimal point required space, and after the reduction LTD - 
Point. 

   The second level of security: What model of the robot. As
knowledge, this is AXD-0310479.

   The third level bezopasnodti: name type of drive -
Hydraulic (HYDRAULIC).

   Four (maximum) level of security: call
location of the test site. As I found out, it
Australia. After the fourth test you have not touched - you can
calm trading.

   Trade takes place on the following principle: every spy you
should bring him the desired item. In exchange, the spy will 
give you a distinct pieces of paper, and then propose two items 
on sale. Here is a list of locations with those items that are 
out there predlgayut.

   As you can see, there are 20 subjects - where there is
confused! And even restrictions on cash, because you only
35000 $. By the way, everyone except the subject of a spy, we 
can offer More and money. Large Live chst but none of the 
subjects are spies is not needed, and sell them will not 
succeed. Good puzzle to over her to think. Making it somewhat, 
that is, several possible routes, but most of them do not fit 
in 180 moves.


   I was designed by the shortest route, however, lead to
it makes no sense, otherwise lost all interest. Prompt
only that the first you have to visit France - it takes a spy
cash. This is followed by a chain of cities and a series of 
exchanges, and does not necessarily buy an expensive item - 
here the price is not is a significant factor in the choice.


   When you deliver the documents to Washington, thank you and
show editorial of the newspaper "WASHINGTON POST". The game
ends.
