Get up and walk out of your cell, go into the middle cell on the other side of the cell area. Pick up the bandages on the toilet. Exit the cell and and go up the elevator on the left. At the top there is a dead body and a universal translator, pick up the translator and pick up the flare and the health pack in the cell on the left. Now go back down the elevator and go into the dark end of the room, there is a switch on the wall on the right, activate it and the elevator your standing on will bring you down to the CHAIR, heh heh heh! In this room just walk to the right of the glass and the guy there will be electricuted, on the difficulty Hard and Unreal there are some good stuff in this room. Now go back up the lift back to the cell area and up to the second floor. Now look for a ventalation duct, just crawl into the vent and crawl through to get to the bridge. Walk into the door on the left. Now the floor here is very slippery, so look at the top of the room and look for a switch, jump and hit the switch. That will lower the forcefield around the Kevlar suit, get the suit, armor, and go back the way you came. This time turn right and get the medpack, then jump down to the hallway, be careful as you walk here, the ship will shake and there will be some small explosions that might seriously hurt you. In the next room is the medical lab. Get all the medpacks in this room and move on. If you need it there are 2 medpaks in this room, then walk into the next room. Walk up to the door and listen to what is going on in the next room, you will here two prisinors get brutaly killed by some kind of monster. When the door opens you will see the monster run away, you can't catch it, pick up the dispersion pistol he drops and walk down the hallway. Walk all the way to a room with 2 large fans and a health station, if you need it break the glass, then walk into the passage that is missing one fan. On the other side activate the switch and quickly get on the elevator that will take you to a door. Go into the next room and walk into the smaller room, and shoot the switch on the western wall. That will opn a trap door, jump down to exit the ship, and to the next level. ************************************************************************ Level 2:Nyleve's falls ************************************************************************ As soon as the level has finished loading walk forward and pick up the 2 flares on the floor. Turn left and follow the tunell to the exit. Now you will be outside, a little rabbit will hop by, it is harmless. Look right and go up the little slope, there are some clips up there. Now turn around and head towards the house. At the far end there is a pool of water, look for a blue light and swim towards it, there is a clip down there. To get up just jump onto the rock and jump to the surface. Now pick up the automag on the ground in front of the entrance to the house, and pick up any ammo that is around there, then walk into the house and pick up all the flares, health packs, and clips. Now walk out of the house and head toward the ship, go to the area behind it and walk up the planks. Head left towards the mouth of a cave, there are two orange flowers near the entrance, these are Nali fruit, they have a healing affect of about 27. Anyway, walk into the cave, keep walking until you see a guy get thrown up againsnt the wall, then run backwards, out of the cave and wait for the 2 BRUTES to come out of the cave, strafe and shoot as they shoot at you. Once they are both dead, go back into the cave and walk into the now open door on the right. Head all the way down to the elevator and ride it down, there, make your way out, there is another brute at the end of the tunell waiting for you, kill him and continue, walk down the board towards the house.

Now exit the house and look behind it, there is a cave opening there, enter and kill any monsters hanging on the ceiling. In the final room there is all sorts of usefull stuff, there are ammo for the stinger, the tyrinium shards, and some armor, nedpaks, and s flare. Once you have gotten everything head back towards the house and go all the way back to were you were attacked by the 2 brutes.
