Actually solve the cipher

  1. Blood Type: Hetacomb, the book you found at Reno's, should hold the key -- you just need to read it.

Clean HOLOCENE's room for him

  1. HOLOCENE has claimed he knows who betrayed the Crew five years ago -- but he won't tell you until you clean his room.

Receive M.I.H.O.'s information

  1. The cipher reads: 'I BETRAYED CREW / MIHO COMPROMISED FROM WITHIN / DIRECTOR MALA FIDE UNTIL EXTRACTION / BEWARE SMALL CONTROLLER / I'M SORRY'.

  2. HOLOCENE claims to know who betrayed the Whole Sick Crew, but won't tell you until you've collaborated.

  3. The fax came from to the space program that used to be bottom of the Pitol Tract rocket silo.

  4. The woman stripping metal outside the silo warned you of dolphin-human hybrids.

  5. An entity named 'M.I.H.O.' has summoned you, claiming they possess critical-grade information.

  6. The fax was sent by HOLOCENE.

  7. HOLOCENE sent you a fax, which you missed, saying he has critical information for you.

  8. You can use the aero-tram stations around the city to travel to the Pitol Tract.

Find the book

  1. You blew it trying to talk your way in to Reno's apartment. There may be another way in.

  2. HOLOCENE's favourite book is called 'Blood Type: Hecatomb.'

  3. Someone named Reno has appropriated a copy of the book from the Honour Book Stall.

  4. Reno, who lives in his penthouse at the top of the Housing Campaign, should have a copy of the book.

  5. Melita suggested there is a bookshop around Party Alley you could check out.

  6. Melita suggested sneaking into Reno's through the front as a cleaner, or searching the roof for another way in.

  7. Reno lives in a penthouse at the top of the Housing Campaign. The entrance is next to the Party Alley bridge.

  8. Reno, Portofiro local and owner of Renotel Communications, has appropriated a copy of the book from the Honour Book Stall.

  9. Reno lives in a penthouse at the top of the Housing Campaign.

  10. The cipher has revealed a passage from one of HOLOCENE's favourite science fiction novels -- it may reveal more.

Investigate the mould in HOLOCENE's room

  1. This is beyond you. A doctor may know more.

  2. You've so far failed to get a usable sample of mould.

  3. It may be a good idea to take a sample of it, if you can.

  4. Dr. Hugo recommended an ozone treatment for the mould, which you left on his desk.

Administer the ozone treatment to HOLOCENE

  1. The doctor recommended it based on the mould sample, should you trust his diagnosis.

Perform the... extraction?

  1. The cipher reads: 'I BETRAYED CREW / MIHO COMPROMISED FROM WITHIN / DIRECTOR MALA FIDE UNTIL EXTRACTION / BEWARE SMALL CONTROLLER / I'M SORRY'.

  2. You have so far failed to engage remote viewing on HOLOCENE.

  3. Your discovery raises many questions. You should find answers at the bottom of the rocket silo.

  4. Melita said that what's wrong with HOLOCENE may not be internal, but something in the environment.

Solve the cipher

  1. You seem to lack some code-breaking knowledge needed to solve the cipher.

  2. You found an odd cipher in HOLOCENE's room -- and he's currently refusing to acknowledge its existence.

  3. The keyword to solve the cipher is 'ESCHATON'.
