The memories are in blocks. Restore the memory by assembling memory clusters.

See 5 memory clusters. Each memory cluster to be assembled is made up of picture squares from same or another cluster(s).

The object of the puzzle is to assemble the correct picture in each cluster.

Within a cluster, each square can be interchanged by left click on one and left click on the other square you want interchanged.

To get a square (picture) from another cluster; right click the square on the worked on cluster (big one at right) where the picture from the other cluster is situated and the square will cycle through all the pictures (situated on that 3x3) of the other clusters. Stop when you get the picture square needed. Or alternatively you can use the cycle button located just below the big cluster  at right frame.

If the location of that square in the cluster you are working on is already correct for that cluster, it is best that you move the correct square to another location in that worked-on cluster before right click cycling.

It is also best to complete one cluster first to remove that set of pictures from the cycling. The easiest and distinct picture to work on first is the green forest scene.

Compile all the green pictures from the other clusters and then rearrange them to form the complete picture.

The cluster background square turns green when correctly done. The squares cannot be moved anymore after the whole picture is assembled.

Achievement obtained: Sweet memories - you have recovered some of Julia's erased memory clusters.

Stephan heard a noise but the probe's inquiry was negative.

The probe - Julia insists that the readings are negative.

On the 23rd, Roger rushed in screaming something tried to eat him.

Benjamin found out that the sound returns at the same time every day. Benjamin made a program which detects sharp amplitude changes.

On the 26th, the crew was woken up by heavy pounding. They found greenish substance around the station. Communication with the probe was lost.

The air generator broke and they have to take turns changing the external air unit. RTL NOG is mentioned.

On the 32nd; the thing got Cassie while she was changing containers of the external air unit.

The air generator correct levels are: 20.9% and 1.1%. The fans have to be cranked up to maximum and then lower them immediately to midpoint to expel the bad air inside.

The last entry on the 35th was when it was Stephan's turn to change the external air unit.

Let's check the third planet Ambrosia. Open the solar system tab.

Click on the third planet from the sun in the green orbit.

Click on the planet in celestial body view and the probe flies to Ambrosia.

Click on planet again in celestial body view and it will be scanned.

The scan showed that the planet has extraterrestrial life. The green belt on the equator is vegetation. There is a purple spot on the surface that looks artificial. There are 27 hours in a day.

Objective:    Explore the jungle.

Click on the planet with Mobot cursor to fly down to the planet.

Mobot is disoriented by the flora around him. There are obvious signs of habitations.

Julia will activate a visual map once Mobot starts exploring. They will search for signs of the exploration team that was here before.

Landing site (M-5):    Examine the vegetation. Mobot notes that there is acid in the rain.

Examine the tree. It doesn't create branches. The leaves are clustered on the trunk.

Exit to jungle.

Visual map:    See the visual map.

Click on the arrows at top left of the grid or use the keyboard arrows to move Mobot on the map grid. Find points of interest at certain places.

Be sure to map-visit all points of interest. Once the points of interests are visited, they will then be jump to points. Click on them to fast travel. The important sites are shown by yellow picture square.

Current position - Mobot is seen in rotating red circle.

Julia relates the disaster that happened the last time the team was here. The exploration team fired at the inhabitants on sight. They didn't even greet them. Andrew Lark led the team.

Explore:    Click on cursor or use keyboard arrows to move around. Observe the surroundings on the screen at right.

Obelisk at lower right of the map (L-13):    

Go to lower right of map (L-13). See a place that must have been made by sentient beings. There is an obelisk with a hole and swirling light inside the hole.

Examine tree at left. It looks dead. Mobot takes a sample.

Examine the insect on the vine at top of screen. It looks like a firefly. Mobot catches the insect.

Examine the dense vegetation.

Examine the obelisk. It is not naturally formed. Someone built it.

Examine the swirling hole at top of obelisk. It has a strong electromagnetic energy field. Mobot is not sensitive enough to analyze it.

Go back to the jungle and continue exploring. See that the obelisk is marked in the map.

Analyze samples:    Open Mobot's analyzer by clicking on the colored circles at top right.

Insect - Bionalysis shows similarity with Coleoptera - beetles. The chemical analysis shows that the glow is caused by a phosphorous compound excreted by the insect.

Dead tree sample - Bioanalysis shows that the tree was consumed by insectoids.

First contact (location varies):

Sometime during exploration, Mobot is followed by an apelike creature that travels through the tree canopy - from one tree to another.

Mobot sees the creature. The creature makes sounds. Mobot greets the creature. The creature starts drawing mysterious symbols.

Achievement obtained: First contact - You encountered your first sentient extraterrestrial being.

Analyze written language:

The aim is to get the bar- translation progress to the right at 100%. Then Mobot learns the language.

See circles at center that has a sound wave line that dissect them.

If one or more of them are lighted - that is the sound-word made by the Ambrosian.

At the bottom of those circles are the Ambrosian meaning of those sound(s) said by the Ambrosian.

At the top are the possible translations of the sound(s).

Select the possible translation of the sounds by:

- Select-click the translation that has exactly the same number of lines as the lit circles. If there are 3 lit circles with 3 lines, look for a translation above with 3 lines connected to the center.

- Select-click the translation that has the same formation of lines connected to the lighted circle. If there are 2 lit circles connected by 2 lines at top, look for 2 lines that are formed similarly as the lines at the bottom part connected to the lighted circles.

- If the Ambrosian inflections at bottom has more than one possible meanings, select and click on all possible translations at top part.

- If choice is correct, the circles at the center will flash green from left to right.

Do the selection until the bar at top right reaches the end. Then full comprehension is reached by MOBOT.

The Ambrosian shows signs of surrendering. Julia recommends not telling about knowing the first team's visit.

The Ambrosian wants to know if they are being punished again.

Mobot talks to the Ambrosian. He tells the Ambrosian that they want to learn the way of the ancients.

It will meet with Mobot in his settlement at end of jungle. It will teach Mobot about the ancients after he has finished his explorations.

Laser gun altar (K-13 or F-2 depending on which square you visit first):

Continue exploring the jungle.

Explore at bottom right (K-13) and see a place above the first obelisk square.

Examine the glowing flowers. The light forms that covered the flowers produced the glow. Mobot takes a sample.

Examine the snail shaped plants. Mobot gets a sample of the curled part of the plant.

Examine the vines above. Rachel thinks those are sidewalks where the Ambrosians walk on.

Examine the fantastique shape. There are 2 of those statues at either side of the structure.

Examine the inside statue.

Examine the painting on the structure. It is a depiction of a laser gun.

Examine the spherical part at top of the structure. It has a funnel and has a contraption at the back of the head. Be sure to approach contraption (to trigger a dialogue later in the game) and see symbols in a panel.

Contraption:    There are scratches at top of the symbols. Examine scratches. Recover inscriptions. Read inscriptions. Flow with me to understand your past. We will do this later.

Analyze samples:    Open Mobot's analyzer by clicking on the colored circles at top right.

Flower sample - Bioanalysis shows that insects feed on the plants and their excreta serves as nutrients for the plants.

Curled plant - Bioanalysis shows that it is an annual plant that commits suicide by tearing itself apart to spread its seeds.

Article of power:    Exit the area. The Ambrosian comes back and said that the laser gun is an artifact of power that reminded them of their inferiority and returned many of them to ancient Xir.

Obelisk at bottom center of map (K-5):    Examine the obelisk and the swirling hole with energy.

Machete altar at middle left of the map (F-2 or K-13):

At F-2:    Examine peculiar tree. It seems to grow from the spherical object at bottom which in turn is part of the vines. Get tree sample.

Examine the gorge behind the altar.

Examine the statue. Looks like one of the exploration team.

Examine the painting. It is a machete.

Examine the spherical head. It also has a funnel and a contraption at the back.

Examine the funnel. Be sure to approach contraption (to trigger a dialogue later in the game).

Contraption:    It also has the scratch marks. Examine the scratch marks. Recover the inscription. We will do this later.

Analyze sample: The tree sample shows that vines compete with other vines and kills the rest to survive.

Article of faith:    Exit the area and the Ambrosian says that the altar is for the article of faith; the machete. They still do not fully understand it. It is here to test their faith.

Purple lake at center of map (E-6):   

See the purple lake at middle of the map.

Examine the dead vegetation.

Examine the lake. The lake is filled with highly corrosive substance.

Exit the area and the Ambrosian returns. It says that the lake is their doom.

It was once filled with the essence of life. Julia says that it is not us that did this.

Obelisk at top right of the map (D-10):

Examine the bonding plants. Julia says that the plants is part of the other plants. Take sample.

Examine obelisk and swirling hole.

Analyze sample:     The bonding plant sample shows that the plant share one common root with other plants and may cover kilometers of Ambrosia's surface.

Analyze sample: The tree sample shows genetic mutation that brought the enormous size and longevity of the tree.

Achievement obtained: Explorer - when you have explored every single place in the jungle.

Objective:    Ambrosian reunion.

Go to the Ambrosian (A-7):

Ambrosian's settlement:    If you have seen all 4 mystical places, the 2 altars (laser gun and machete) and the purple lake; proceed to top of the map - to the settlement.

Examine the purple plant. The berries might be food of the Ambrosians. Take sample.

Examine cocoons. The cocoons are where the Ambrosians live in.

Examine hanging blossoms. Take sample.

Examine walkway used to travel in the jungle. Take sample.

Examine opened cocoon. The cocoon can be pulled up to the top of the trees and sealed.

Analyze samples:   

Fruit - It serves as food for the life forms but poisonous to humans. It has level of cyanide based compounds.

Hanging blossom plants - The plant is carnivorous. It attracts insects and traps them.

Vine walkway - The vine has been treated with chemicals to reinforce its strength.

Talk to the Ambrosian:

Ambrosian:    Examine the Ambrosian. Talk to the Ambrosian. See the communicatron. Select a topic and get information. Click on back to topics to start another set of conversation.

Environment:

Secret of the 2 altars:    They are pillar of memories built by an old branch. It was told to them by stories and legends.

To the humans it has only been a couple of years. The Ambrosians have forgotten.

It is said that one who obtains them restores faith in a better future.

Dead lake:     Essence of our doom. Our punishments... If you understand our punishment;  he can reveal an important part of their history.

Strange obelisks:    The stone of enlightenment. They were created by Ith as part of their pilgrimage of enlightenment.

History:

Ask for a history lesson. They were taught the way of modesty. They were once the rulers of the bhialth- Salia solar system. The built a settlement far from here. The Masters arrived and taught them in the form of 3 punishments.

First punishment:    The first punishment was when the ancient lords came. They were proud then and thought to rule the universe. The lords destroyed cities and everything they invented. A handful of them were brought to this place. They were then trapped on this planet.

Second punishment:     They grew proud again and made a settlement close to the sacred essence. A flash of light changed the sacred essence of life to essence of doom. Ith the prophet performed a sacred rite and was taken by the masters to the place in the mist.

Third punishment:    Ith returned to them and they were happy. His death divided the tribe into many branches.

The leader of the branch saw the masters descend from the sky but did not meet them properly like the other greeters. The masters were offended and punished them. The leader survived the massacre because he hid. That is how they learned of what happened.

The Ambrosian is now the watcher of the skies - greeter. He hopes that they give their branch a new meaning. The Ambrosian showed hope for the future. The only hope is the ancient prophecy brought to them by Ith.

Mythology:   

Ith:    Ith traveled to a place of the mist; high above third plane of existence where live the ancient gods. Ith learned how to calm the lords. He returned and during his time of solitude erected structures which they now know as preparing them for the pilgrimage of enlightenment. 

Pilgrimage of enlightenment:     There are 4 empty parchments left by Ith. Ith told the leaders that the pilgrimage is ready. Since the parchments are common to them, they ignored it and subsequently forgot. After the last punishment, they resurrected the story of Ith.

The Ambrosians did the journey of Ith as a rite of passage. They are handed the parchments and left alone. They traveled to sites that Ith visited and meditated on it. Whoever understands it will be the leader. Many tried yet none succeeded.

The team will try. The Ambrosian is pleased and gave them the 4 parchments hoping that they will come back with answers.

The prophecy:    When Ith returned from the sky, he brought the prophecy. It is foretold that a wanderer from the sky will come and restore the essence of life; reverting the punishment. Somewhere in the bhialth lies a place where the essence can be discovered.

The Ambrosian draws a symbol. Mobot copies the symbol.

Artifact from altar:    Mobot says that they will get the artifacts and give it to them. The Ambrosian is in awe.

The contraption will come alive when the essence of punishment (corrosive purple liquid) is poured on it. He gives Mobot a purplish container so that he can handle the essence of punishment. If Mobot gets the artifacts, he will give them the artifact of wisdom (another item left by the ancients).

Farewell:    Select to close the discussion.

Analyze items:

Empty scrolls - Chemical analysis of the scrolls shows that they are like old photographic films.

Empty container - Chemical analysis shows that the material doesn't react to any available substance and potent acids.

Spectral analysis shows that the material is practically indestructible.

Objective:    Retrieving artifacts.

Pilgrimage of Enlightenment:

It is time to travel to the sites visited and structures erected by Ith. MOBOT has the 4 blank parchments.

Go to one of the obelisks. Click on a structure with the swirling energy in the map and jump there.

Rachel recommends to expose the scroll on the swirl.  LOL - Julia.

Obelisks and parchment:    Expose the pergamen to the swirl. The swirl makes a visual pattern on the scroll.

Jump to the rest of the mystical places and do the same until 4 parts of map are obtained.

Analyze the visual pattern:    Markings on the scroll. Enter enhanced analysis.

See the 4 maps on the left. Click on a map and it will appear on the big parchment at right.

Click on sample 04 - bottom right, then sample 01 - top left, sample 03 - bottom left and last sample 02 - top right.

Markings are seen but still not understood.

Artifact:

Purple lake:    Jump to the purple lake. Fill container with acid.

Laser gun altar (K-13):    Jump to laser gun altar.

- Pour in purple liquid.

- Approach the contraption.

Read the inscription that was cleaned by Mobot - Flow with me to understand your past.

Lower the bars that would allow the flow of liquid from one inscribed symbol to the next following the inscription above. The lowered bars are seen as green lines in the picture below.

Raise the plug left of the first inscribed symbol.

Press the lever right of the inscription to start the flow of the acid.

The acid flows from one symbol to another following the inscription. A sound is heard.

Take the laser gun from the head of the altar.

Machete altar (F-2):   

- Pour in purple liquid.

- Approach the contraption.

Read the inscription. Avoid me to learn of the future.

Lower the bars that would allow the flow of liquid from right to left and NOT pass through any of the symbols in the inscriptions.

Check each row and look for symbols that matches those on the inscription. Lower the bars only on those that are NOT on the inscription.

All the other symbols that are NOT in the inscription must have the acid pass through them.

Raise the plug at right of the first symbol not found above.

Press the lever left of the inscription to start the flow of the acid.

The acid flows from one symbol to another. A sound is heard.

Take the machete from the head of the altar.

Side note by developer: The inscriptions:  Flow with me to understand your past and Avoid me to learn of the future have their meaning to three punishments. When Ambrosians obeyed ancients, they were highly developed on Xenophone. When they got too proud (avoided the Ancients) they ended up with bare paws on Ambrosia. There is also a reason why gun is attached to former and machete to the latter.

Give the artifact:    Go back to the settlement (A-7). Talk to the Ambrosian.

Select mythology. Deliver the gun and the machete. These will give them hope for the future.

The Ambrosian gives the black box to Mobot. It is an Omega disk.

Farewell.

Analyze the omega disk:    Enter enhanced analysis.

Click on the planet in orbital view and the probe flies to Hermes.

Click on planet again in celestial body view and it will be scanned. Hermes has 3 moons: alpha, beta and gamma.

Scan the 3 moons.   

- Alpha is the second largest moon and the farthest from the gas giant. It has rock formations and shrouded in mist. It is connected to Hermes by a gas tidal bridge. Possible landing site.

- Beta is the largest moon and the surface is riddled with molten lava. Unsuitable for landing.

- Gamma is the smallest moon and closest to Hermes. It is unsuitable for landing due to security regulations.

Landing site:

Land:    Send Mobot down to Hermes alpha. See that the moon is filled with stone pillars. Julia says that has the same atmosphere as Earth but thinner.

Rachel remembers the map from the obelisks and noted that Ith was transported here - the planet of the mist.

Find the place located in the map:

Julia adjusts the map viewing. Locate the structures seen in the map.

Click on the map.

Unknown crystalline substance:    An unknown substance - crystalline is seen on the ground.

Mobot says it is made of peculiar substance and emits a vapor.

Acquire a sample. Rachel tells Mobot to leave.

Mobot walks away and the crystalline substance rises and follows Mobot. Face to face.

Examine the crystalline being. The being examines Mobot and... teleported.

The being hijacked Mobot's circuitry. The ancient master takes over Mobot. He speaks through Mobot and converses with the team.

Converse with the being using the commuicatron:

What - who are you? They are Guardians; hidden, watching and learning. They do not influence other beings but they can seek them. They have been hidden on endless solar systems even Earth. They are from all universe. They became eternal travelers that share knowledge throughout the universe.

It refer to the guardians as plural beings.

Hiding place:    They left messages long ago waiting to be discovered. Those that have evolved enough will understand the message. Evolution cannot be forced. The advanced beings have discovered and seek them for advice. Yet you are not ready for the answers.

History:    They observe and record. To explain more, the being scans Mobot's memory. The being says that they have the understanding of the system and its life.

Ith:    Ith was not a volunteer; he was abducted. Ith was brought there by the self proclaim lords to impress Ith. Then the failed lords told Ith to undergo the ritual and that it was ordered by the ancients. This was a lie. The lords were taken care of. Ith fought Xir and returned to the ancient. Ith was ready to understand unlike the team. They tried to warn Ith but he didn't listen. Ith went back to his world and was slain.

Observe the monument behind the creature. He will tell more when they are more knowledgeable.

Farewell:    Closes the dialogue.

Analyzer:    Analyze the crystalline sample from the being.

Data analyzer, Biological analysis, Chemical analysis and spectral analysis result in gobbledygook.

Objective: Learning history.

Fly to rock formation behind the crystal entity.

Entrance to monument:    See a door that opens with photoelectric cell.

Examine the broken handrails. Mobot doesn't have imagination upgrade installed. LOL.

Examine the stairway.

Enter through door.

Museum of Rachel's memory:    Mobot's visual feed is interfered with and Rachel' sees thekids' museum she visited when she was a child before the horrible accident.

The seats are from her memory of home.

The museum greets the crew.

To Enter The Place Of Eternal Flow You Have To Meet The Following Requirements Be Humble Patient Knowledgeable  Only Then The Entrance Will Be Allowed to Those who Seek The Eternal Flow

Door:    Open the door at back wall and see a wall. Mobot says that the wall is not completely reconstructed.

The narrator explains that it shows that they still do not have complete knowledge of this system.

Temple of Eternal Flow:

Main room:    Go back to main room. The narrator says that he will open another room for them to check.

The back wall opens to an entryway.

Mobot is hesitant to enter that mysterious hallway.

Temple of Eternal flow:    See a chamber.

Examine the symbol held by the Ambrosian statue at the end of the walkway. It is the one that the Ambrosian says is essence found at the Temple of Eternal Flow.

Examine the statue holding the symbol.

Examine heptagon at center of walkway. A part is missing here.

Examine the Ambrosian gargoyles. Acquire liquid sample.

Examine translucent pipe on wall

Analyze liquid:    It is pure water H2O.

Julia teaches Rachel that water is a similarity that might hold importance in the whole universe.

Julia advises to find water for the Ambrosians to gain their trust. This place is an anomaly. Things that exists here might not exist outside.

Guardian:

Exit the monument and fly back to the guardian. Talk to the guardian again. It explains the history of the Ambrosians and Ith.

Ambrosia:    The ancients do not get involve in internal conflicts. The ones that thought to be the guardian's emissaries want to manipulate and dominate. That was stronger than their agreement with the ancients-guardians. They influenced developing civilization. They failed and the ancients made them leave.

The guardian realizes that they want to help the Ambrosians. The guardian-ancient became silent when questioned about whether he-they influenced what happened to the expedition. It would not explain what happened to the expedition but sees that they still do not understand themselves or the others of its kind. The guardian states that they did not have anything to do with it.

Essence:    Upon learning that the team wants to help the Ambrosians, he states that the team do the ritual undergone by Ith.

Ritual of Xir:    The failed race gave the Ambrosians a trial that is unfair. One of them defeated this trial - Xir.

They have to slay Xir in the land of endless sand (Phaidros). Then come back to him and he will explain more.

They have to hunt Xir at night.

The hope (weapon) can be found in the water of Zenobia.

Julia will recalibrate the weapon to focus in a small diameter.

ELPIS

 Elpis data:

Go back to the probe.

Let's check the planet Elpis. Open the solar system tab.

Click on the planet in orbital view and the probe flies to Elpis.

Click on planet again in celestial body view and it will be scanned. Elpis is an ice giant.

Hermes has one moon: alpha. Scan the Elpis Alpha.   

- Alpha is covered by ice. It is possible to land there.

Enter the Research station:

Go down to Elpis Alpha. It is snowing.

Rachel voiced her realization that she is now alone. Even if she goes back to Earth; she will feel like social outcast, a curiosity from the past.

Examine the destroyed station. The glacier fell and destroyed the station,

Examine the ice frozen door. Mobot uses his blowtorch to melt down the ice.

Examine all the crates and ladder.

Examine the cistern left of the ladder. It is used transport liquids to and from the probe.

The crate right of the ladder has 4 red laser beacons. It can be used to mark where Xir is located.

Underground cave:

Exit the station. Examine the place below the destroyed station.

There is an underground lake. Examine the stalactites.

There is an opening on the ceiling that lets light inside the grotto.

Lake:    Mobot states some contradictory data he found. The air temperature is -94 degrees F. The lake is 50 degrees.

Get sample of the water based on Rachel's intuition.

Analyze the liquid:    It has a complex structure and the only liquid that can dissolve Arghinium.

Platform:    Examine the rock outcropping - platform under the opening in the ceiling that lets the light in.

Corpse:    See a corpse. Examine the dead body.

The face is battered. The corpse is a human male, mid 30's and well preserved.

Ian Darlington's record:   

Ian Darlington is the expedition leader. His department is research. Personal ID# 135789/65887.

His log started on 2131-02-10. He allude to something that happened when they awoke from cryosleep.

Since the 11th Ian complained about Andrew Lark wanting to take over the expedition. Lark has his own faction.

They detected peculiar seismic activity.

On the 15th, Ian started to doubt the story about Rachel Manners and why she was cryo jailed. The credibility of the eyewitness to whatever she supposedly did is in question. It seems that the takeover was planned even before they left.

Someone is tampering with his datapad.

Barth discovered a potential seismic activity and they have to leave. Ian got the security footage of his datapad he left in view of the cameras.

It is proven that Andrew Lark is the one that reads his datapad. Ian is more convinced that Rachel's cryo jailing is based on a lie said by Lark.

Ian confronted Lark in a crew meeting.

Lark asked Ian for a meet outside the station. That was the last entry.

Achievement obtained: Hacker - You have hacked into all datapads and computer profiles.

PHAIDROS AND XIR

Objective:    Fight Xir:

Go back to the probe and go to Phaidros, the first planet in the Salia solar system. Land on Phaidros.

Locate Xir:

Use the arrows at top left to move around the desert looking for signs of Xir.

At J2, Xir's nest is found. See the opening of Xir's den. Click on it and get a Mysterious ID card.

(Later, go to a computer and use the Agustín Cordes ID card and see an "unexpected visitor" video).

Plant the beacons on the sand:

See a 3x3 squares. Place the beacons using the Beacon interface button above the scene frame: middle top, right, left and bottom squares.

The beacons shoot light to the sky. Rachel and Julia pinpoints the area at the probe.

   

Charge the beacons:    The beacons fizzle out. The power cells are old. Mobot has to try to charge each beacon.

Look at a beacon at scene on the right. See 3 power cells. Only one of the 3 (in all 4 beacons) work and can be charged.

Send power to: Left beacon - power cell #3, top beacon - power cell #1, right beacon - power cell #2 and bottom beacon - power cell #3. This might be random; so note down the number of the chargeable power cell in each beacon.

The charge does not hold long. Charge fast from the beacon that last longer up to the one with shortest time - until all 4 beacons are lit up. They should all be red squares in the graph. See picture above.

Charge (with least wasted steps from one to another beacon): (Puzzle depends on number of steps) top - #1 cell, bottom - #3 cell, left - #2 cell and right - #3 cell. All beacons are lit up.

Run for your life:    Xir wakes up and comes out from the sand. Xir attacks Mobot.

Julia did not have enough time to calibrate the weapon. Mobot has to do this again while being chased by Xir. If Mobot dies - there's a repeat. The more failure, the more forgiving the puzzle gets.

Achievement will be obtained if you fail 5 times (Xir Destroyer) and another achievement if you fail 10 times (Xir the Invincible).

When Mobot is running for his life; charge power cells: 2, 1, 3 and 3.

When all are lit up, Julia blasts Xir from space.

Achievement obtained: Deadly Xir. You let Xir kill Mobot.

Rachel blames Julia for losing an important machine. Julia is affected by the loss of Mobot. Rachel sleeps.

It's been 10 hours and still nothing from Mobot... They wait some more. Rachel and Julia decides to leave the cursed planet.

Mobot 2400.21 wakes up groggy. Julia does a maintenance check on Mobot. The blast disabled his electronics.

Xir:    Xir is an artificial construction. Mobot takes Xir's control unit.

Achievement obtained: Jaeger. You eradicated Xir.

HERMES

Guardian:

Go back and down to Hermes Alpha. Go left to the sheltered area. Talk to the guardian at Hermes.

Xir is slain:    Xir is a weapon. It is a show of power to be able to control such a monster.
