I study the grid pattern. Remembering I an not a contortionist, can I see a way through it? Are there any controls on the contrl terminal by which I could shut it off or change the pattern? | | | | | Joined: Nov 2004 Posts: 14,106 Likes: 37 Maris Imperium Moderator | | OP Maris Imperium Moderator Joined: Nov 2004 Posts: 14,106 Likes: 37 | You don't think it's as dangerous as that path Indiana Jones had to navigate in that "Golden Idol" experience you had on the holodeck a few months ago. But something tells you that the locked door at the other end won't open if you don't follow the right directions.
The terminal does not appear to have any sort of shutoff command, but there's a small "info" icon that you can press, which pops up a message, "Security Grid Alpha. Deactivation path mirrors standard maintenance access route for Plasma Conduit 7B".
Now you wonder how many paths there are to conduit 7B and whether mirrors means mirror or copy.... decisions, decisions. | | | | | Joined: Apr 2002 Posts: 23,304 Likes: 3 Moderator | | Moderator Joined: Apr 2002 Posts: 23,304 Likes: 3 | I would go with copies. What is the shape of the grid pattern? (Or is it just a bunch of squares?) | | | | | Joined: Nov 2004 Posts: 14,106 Likes: 37 Maris Imperium Moderator | | OP Maris Imperium Moderator Joined: Nov 2004 Posts: 14,106 Likes: 37 | The grid pattern is a bunch of squares, large enough to stand in. Entering a square crosses a beam on its edge. It's kind of like a large tic-tac-toe grid. All the same size, not different squares like the Fibonacci galaxy poster you saw a short while ago, but it may require a different kind of dance move. | | | | | Joined: May 2000 Posts: 83,478 Likes: 105 Wizop Administrator | | Wizop Administrator Joined: May 2000 Posts: 83,478 Likes: 105 | So a 3 x 3 grid?

Where is the door? Top of the grid in the middle? If so try entering middle square bottom row - move one square right - move two squares up - move one square left | | | | | Joined: Nov 2004 Posts: 14,106 Likes: 37 Maris Imperium Moderator | | OP Maris Imperium Moderator Joined: Nov 2004 Posts: 14,106 Likes: 37 | The 3x3 grid is about what you see.
Your attempt at navigating it works as far as "entering middle square bottom row, move ones square right, move two squares up..."
The first square is fine.
The second square gives an annoying musical chord sound that nobody should ever be forced to hear.
You think you're on to something, though... | | | | | Joined: May 2000 Posts: 83,478 Likes: 105 Wizop Administrator | | Wizop Administrator Joined: May 2000 Posts: 83,478 Likes: 105 | Back to the start - middle square row 1, move left and listen | | |
