To James Kin Wah Lee and anyone else who needs help: I'll tell you whatever
I remember.
James, involving the child which is in a one way room and the lift suit
(yes the suit lifts the caskets up for you to carry to your ship--you have to
get them off planet--there are two ways to get them to the ship), you must
find a secret elevator.  I beieve that there is an elevator from floors 1-3 or
four.  The next level lower has a secret passage that allows you to travel
from 4-5 (or 5-6).  There is a special mode of transport that you need to
discover before you can get the 'trapped' child out of the trap room. (have
you noticed any large dodecahedrons?  You need to find these before continuing).  The best armor and weapons I found to be light/light.  The higher settings
seemed to make little or no difference.  Once you get above half full (power),
you are unstoppable.  So what if the drones hit you a lot, it doesn't do much
damage. (at least that was what I found).  Using the higher levels hurts more
than helps since the energy drain is faster.  I don't think that wearing the
suit did anything to prevent damage (it made me feel damn helpless).  To kill
the drones, just keep shooting till they are dead--sometimes if you hit them
just right, they seem to blow up quickly (like a soft spot or something). With
light armor and weapons, the damage is made up by having slower drain (more
than made up for it i think).  If you need more help, ask...
